Precautions and tips

! This appliance has been designed and manufactured
in compliance with international safety standards. The
following warnings are provided for safety reasons and
must be read carefully.

General safety

• 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 when barefoot 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 or certain
parts of the oven door when the appliance is in
use; these parts become extremely hot. Keep
children well away from it and do not touch the
hot parts yourself.
• WARNING: Accessible parts will become hot
when in use. To avoid burns and scalds children
should be kept away.
• Make sure that the power supply cables of other
electrical appliances do not come into contact with
the hot parts of the oven.
• The ventilation and heat dispersal openings must
never be obstructed.
• Always grip the oven door handle in the centre: the
ends may be hot.
• Always use oven gloves when placing cookware in
the oven or when removing 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 accidentally, the materials
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.
• Do not perform any cleaning or maintenance work
without having disconnected the appliance from the
electricity mains.
• If the event of malfunctions, under no circumstances
should you attempt to perform the repairs yourself.
Contact an authorised Service Centre (see
Assistance).
• Do not rest heavy 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 relating to
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
states that household appliances should not be
disposed of using the normal solid urban waste
cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected
separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using
and recycling the materials inside the machine,
while preventing potential damage to the
atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-out
dustbin is marked on all products to remind the
owner of their obligations regarding separated waste
collection.
For further information relating to the correct disposal
of exhausted household appliances, owners may
contact the relevant public service or their local
dealer.
Respecting and conserving the
environment
• You can help to reduce the peak load of the
electricity supply network companies by using the
oven in the hours between late afternoon and the
early hours of the morning.
• Always keep the oven door closed when using the
GRILL and GRATIN modes: this will achieve
improved results while saving energy
(approximately 10%).
• Check the door seals regularly and wipe them clean
to ensure they are free of debris so that they adhere
properly to the door, thus avoiding the dispersal of
heat.
