1. SAFETY WARNINGS
- When you unpack the appliance, make sure that it is not damaged during transportation. In case
of any defect; do not use the appliance and contact a qualified service agent immediately. As the
materials used for packaging (nylon, staplers, styrofoam...etc) may cause harmful effects to
children, they should be collected and removed immediately.
- Protect your appliance against atmospheric effects. Do not expose it to effects such as sun, rain,
snow etc.
- The surrounding materials of the appliance (cabinet) must be able to withstand a temperature of
min 100°C.
During usage
- When you first run your oven a certain smell will emanate from the insulation materials and the
heater elements. For this reason, before using your oven, run it empty at maximum temperature
for 45 minutes. At the same time you need to properly ventilate the environment in which the
product is installed.
- During usage, the outer and inner surfaces of the oven get hot. While opening the oven door,
step back to avoid the hot steam coming out of the oven. There may be a risk of burns.
- Do not put flammable or combustible materials, in or near the appliance when it is operating.
- Always use oven gloves to remove and replace food in the oven.
- Do not leave the cooker while cooking with solid or liquid oils. They may catch fire on condition of
extreme heating. Never pour water on to flames that are caused by oil. Cover the saucepan or frypan
with its cover in order to choke the flame that has occured in this case and turn the cooker off.
- Always position pans over the centre of the cooking zone, and turn the handles to a safe position so
they cannot be knocked or grabbed.
- If you will not use the appliance for a long time, plug it off. Keep the main control switch off. Also
when you do not use the appliance, keep the gas valve off.
- Make sure the appliance control knobs are always in the "0" (stop) position when it is not used.
- The trays incline when pulled out. Be careful not to let hot liquid spill over.
- CAUTION: The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat, moisture and
products of combustion in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated
especially when the appliance is in use, keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical
ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).
- Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening
of a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical
ventilation where present.
- While using the grill burner, keep the oven door open and always use the grill deflector shield
supplied with the product. Never use the grill burner with the oven door closed.
- CAUTION: Glass lids may shatter when heated.
