Before first use
Cleaning the cooktop before
heating it up for the first time
Metal components are protected by a
conditioning agent. New cooktops may
have a slight odour and can also give off
vapours during their first use.
The smell and any vapours do not indi-
cate a faulty connection or a defective
appliance and are not harmful to your
health.
Remove any adhesive labels or pro-
tective films from the cooktop.
Before heating the cooktop up, wipe it
with a damp cloth to remove any dust
or bits of leftover packaging.
Heating the oven for the first
time
New ovens may have a slight odor when
they are heated up for the first time.
Heating up the oven for at least an hour
with nothing in it will eliminate the odor.
Ensure that the kitchen is well venti-
lated while the appliance is being
heated up for the first time.
Close doors to other rooms to prevent
the odor spreading throughout the
house.
Remove any adhesive labels or protec-
tive films from the ovens and acces-
sories.
Before heating the oven up, wipe the in-
terior with a damp cloth to remove any
dust or bits of packaging that may have
