General safety
• This is a class 3 built-in appliance.
• Gas appliances require regular air exchange to
maintain efficient operation. When installing the
cooker, follow the instructions provided in the
paragraph on "Positioning" the appliance.
• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside
the home and is not intended for commercial or
industrial use.
• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even
in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave
the appliance exposed to rain and storms.
• When moving or positioning the appliance, always
use the handles provided on the sides of the oven.
• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet
or damp hands and feet.
• The appliance must be used by adults only for
the preparation of food, in accordance with the
instructions outlined in this booklet. Any other
use of the appliance (e.g. for heating the room)
constitutes improper use and is dangerous.
The manufacturer may not be held liable for any
damage resulting from improper, incorrect and
unreasonable use of the appliance.
• Do not touch the heating elements and parts
of the oven door when the appliance is in use;
these parts become extremely hot. Keep children
well away from the appliance.
• Ensure that the power supply cables of other
electrical appliances do not come into contact with
the hot parts of the oven.
• The openings used for ventilation and dispersion of
heat must never be covered.
• Always grip the oven door handle in the centre: the
ends may be hot.
• Always use oven gloves to place cookware in the
oven or to remove it.
• Do not use aluminium foil to line the bottom of the
oven.
• Do not place flammable materials in the oven: if the
appliance is switched on by mistake, it could catch
fire.
• Always make sure the knobs are in the ""/"
position when the appliance is not in use.
• When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug
from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.
• Never carry out any cleaning or maintenance work
without having unplugged the plug from the mains.
• In case of malfunction, under no circumstances
should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons
may cause injury or further malfunctioning of
the appliance. Contact a Service Centre (see
Assistance).
• Do not place objects on the open oven door.
• The appliance should not be operated by people
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capacities, by inexperienced individuals or
by anyone who is not familiar with the product. These
individuals should, at the very least, be supervised
by someone who assumes responsibility for their
safety or receive preliminary instructions relating to the
operation of the appliance.
• Do not let children play with the appliance.
Disposal
• When disposing of packaging material: observe local
legislation so that the packaging may be reused.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires
that old household electrical appliances must not be
disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste
stream. Old appliances must be collected separately
in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of
the materials they contain and reduce the impact
on human health and the environment. The crossed
out "wheeled bin" symbol on the product reminds
you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the
appliance it must be separately collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or
retailer for information concerning the correct disposal
of their old appliance.
Respecting and conserving the
environment
• By using the appliance in the hours between late
afternoon and early morning, you can help reduce the
workload placed on electrical companies.
• Always keep the oven door closed when using the
GRILL mode in order to attain the best results and to
save energy (approximately 10%).
• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean
to ensure they are free of debris so that they stick
properly to the door and do not allow heat to disperse.
