Burning a new oven is a recommended preparation before the first use. This process serves to remove any production residues such as rust protection oils or other chemicals that can be in the oven. These residues can cause unpleasant smells when used for the first time and should therefore be evaporated beforehand.

Why should you burn the oven?

Burning a new oven is important to remove the characteristic "new smell", which comes from the materials and coatings used. It ensures a clean and ready -to -use oven and reduces the likelihood that the first prepared dishes will accept unpleasant flavors.

How do you burn an oven?

To burn an oven correctly, you should note the following steps:

Preparation:

Remove all removable accessories such as sheets and grid rust from the oven. Clean the interior with a damp cloth and some detergent.

Burn in:

Place the oven to a high temperature (usually between 240 and 250 degrees Celsius) and let it run for about 30 to 60 minutes.

Use the "top and bottom heat" setting and avoid the recirculation function. Make sure that the kitchen is well ventilated because smoke development can occur.

After burning:

Switch off the oven and let it cool. Clean the interior again with a damp cloth to remove any residues.

Conclusion
The burning in a new oven is a simple and important measure to ensure that your device is clean and odorless. It helps to extend the lifespan of the stove and ensures a pleasant cooking experience. Before you start, you should always consult the operating instructions of your model to observe specific instructions.
