• To make the most of your new oven, read the
users instructions carefully and keep them on
hand for consultation in the future.
• Remove the cardboard protections and the
protective plastic film.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

1. Packing
• The packaging material can be 100%
recycled, as confirmed by the recycling
symbol ( ).
2. Products
• The appliances are built from recyclable
materials. If you decide to scrap the appliances
act responsibly and observe local waste disposal
by laws. Cut off the power cords so that the
appliances cannot be connected to the mains.

PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

• Before any maintenance on the oven
disconnect it from the electrical power supply.
• Keep children away from the oven when it is in
use and when its has just been switched off.
• The oven must be repaired or adjusted
exclusively by a qualified technician.
• Make sure that the electrical wires of other
electrical appliances near the oven do not
come into contact with hot parts and do not
become entrapped in the oven door.
• During the cooking process, water evaporates
from food. All ovens require this steam and
other fumes to be vented from the oven cavity.
For reasons of safety and aesthetics, we have
determined that an opening at the bottom of
the door is the optimum solution.
Consequently, vapour may be seen to be
coming from this area on occasions (see
picture). This is a normal occurrence and the
bottom trim can be cleaned after removal of
the door as described later in this chapter
"Cleaning the oven and its accessories". Bear
in mind there may be residual steam inside
the oven. Accordingly, great care should
be taken when opening the oven door.
• Heavy weights must not be placed on the
open door as this may result in damage to the
cavity and hinges. Max. weight: 7 kg (15 lbs).
• Use oven gloves to remove baking trays and
accessories when the oven is hot.
• Do not cover the bottom of the oven with
aluminium foil.
• Do not place inflammable material in the oven -
risk of fire if the oven is inadvertently switched on.
