SAFETY AND WARNINGS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons or damage when using the oven, follow the
important safety instructions listed below:
• Read all the instructions before using the oven. Use the oven only for its intended purpose as
described in these instructions.
• Proper installation: be sure your appliance is properly installed and earthed by a qualified technician.
• Isolating switch: make sure this oven is connected to a circuit which incorporates an
isolating switch providing full disconnection from the power supply in accordance with
the wiring rules.
• The yellow-green earth cable should not be interrupted by the device and must be easily accessible
when the appliance is installed.
• Household appliances are not intended to be played with by children.
• IF THE OVEN IS PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER WITHOUT THE PLUG, THE APPLIANCE MUST
NOT BE CONNECTED TO THE POWER SOURCE USING PLUG OR SOCKETS, BUT MUST BE DIRECTLY
CONNECTED TO THE SUPPLY MAINS.
•Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in use. They should
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
• Children of less than 8 years old must be kept away from the appliance unless continuously
supervised. This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above, and persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, if they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and they understand
the hazards involved.
• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be done by children without supervision.
• Do not place heavy objects on the oven door.
• Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose fitting or hanging garments when using the appliance. They
could ignite or melt if they touch an element or hot surface and you could be burned.
• User servicing: do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in
the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Smother the fire or flame or use a dry chemical or foam
type extinguisher.
• Use only dry oven mitts or potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces could result in burns
from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot areas or heating elements. Do not use a towel or a bulky
cloth for a potholder as it could catch fire.
• Do not heat unopened food containers. They can build up pressure that may cause the container to
burst and result in injury.
• Safe food handling: leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before and after cooking.
This is to avoid contamination by organisms which may cause food poisoning. Take particular care
during warm weather.
• Always keep oven vents unobstructed.
• Do not operate your appliance by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.
• Caution: Hot air can blow from the vent at the top of the oven as part of the oven's cooling system.
• Placement of oven shelves: always position shelves in the desired location while the oven is cool
(before preheating). If a shelf must be removed while the oven is hot, do not let the oven mitts or
potholder contact hot heating elements in the oven or the base of the oven.
• When you place the shelf inside, make sure that the stop is directed upwards and in the back of the
cavity. The shelf must be inserted completely into the cavity.
• Do not clean the oven seal or use any oven-cleaning products on it. It is essential for a good seal,
which ensures that the oven operates efficiently. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move it.
• Do not use oven cleaners, harsh/abrasive cleaning agents, waxes, or polishes. No commercial oven
cleaner, oven liner, or protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.
• Do not use harsh/abrasive cleaners, scourers or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass
since they scratch the surface, which may result in the glass shattering.
