The manufacturer declines all liability in the event that this important accident-prevention rule is not
respected.
• Before using the oven for the first time, remove any paper and other material inside the oven such as pro-
tective cardboard, booklets, plastic bags, etc.
• Before using for the first time, operate the oven empty with the thermostat at maximum for at least 15
minutes to eliminate the "new" smell and any smoke caused by the presence of protective substances
applied to the elements before transport. During this operation, ventilate the room.
IMPORTANT: when you have unpacked the appliance, make sure the door is undamaged and working cor-
rectly. The door is made from glass and is therefore fragile. If it is visibly chipped, scored or scratched, it
should be replaced. While using, cleaning or moving the appliance, avoid slamming or knocking the door
violently. Do not pour cold liquid onto the glass while the appliance is hot.
• When in operation, the door and accessible external surfaces could become very hot. Always use the
knobs, handles and buttons. Never touch metal parts or the glass. Use oven gloves if necessary.
• This electrical appliance operates at high temperatures which could cause burns.
• The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Do not move the appliance while in use.
• Do not use the appliance if...
- the power cable is faulty,
- the appliance has been dropped, is visibly damaged or malfunctions.
Should this occur, to avoid all risk take the appliance to your nearest authorised service centre.
• Do not let the power cable dangle and avoid touching hot parts of the oven. Never unplug the applian-
ce by pulling on the power cable.
• If you intend to use an extension, make sure it is in good condition, that the plug is earthed and that the
cross section of the wires is at least equal to that of the power cable provided with the appliance.
• To avoid all risk of electric shock, never immerse the power cable, plug or appliance itself in water.
• Never position the appliance near heat sources.
• Do not leave inflammable products near the oven or under the work surface where it is located.

ce (utensils, wire racks, other objects).

• When the door is open, remember:
- never exert excessive pressure with overly heavy objects or pull the handle downwards;

was bought, have it checked by an authorised service centre.
• For your personal safety, never take the appliance to pieces on your own. Always contact an authorised
service centre.
