Important safety information

You MUST read these warnings carefully before installing or using the oven.
Installation
• It is mandatory that all operations required for the
installation are carried out by a qualified or competent
person, in accordance with existing rules and
regulations.
• It is dangerous to alter the specification in any way.
• Once you have removed all packaging from the
appliance, ensure that it is not damaged and the
electric cable is in perfect condition. Otherwise, contact
your dealer before proceeding with the installation.

During use

• During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be
taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the
oven.
• This appliance has been designed for cooking edible
foodstuff only and must not be used for any other
purposes.
• Should you connect any electrical tool to a plug near
this cooking appliance, ensure that electric cables are
not in contact with it and keep them far enough from the
heated parts of this appliance.
• If the appliance is out of order, disconnect it from the
electric supply.
• Do not leave untensils containing foodstuffs, e. g. fat, oil
or any inflammable product in or on the appliance. This
could cause damage in case the appliance is
inadvertently switched on.
• Always place the dripping pan in position to collect fat
when using the grill or when cooking meat. Pour a little
water into the dripping pan to avoid smoke and
unpleasant smells.
• Always use oven gloves to remove pans from the oven.
• For hygiene and safety reasons, this appliance should
be kept clean at all times. A build-up of fats or other
foodstuff could result in a fire.
• Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply,
before carrying out any cleaning or manteinance work.
• Some parts of the appliance are covered by a shock-
proof plastic film. Remove this film before using the
oven.
• Always stand back from the oven when opening
the oven door during cooking or at the end of it to
allow any build up of steam or heat to release.
• Never use steam or steam machines to clean the
appliance.
• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal
scraper to clean the oven door glass since they can
scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of
the glass.
• We recommend that you supervise each step of the
pyrolytic cleaning cycle. A power failure could cause a
temperature increase of the surround or cabinet which
could result in a fire. It is important that the oven door,
2
the door gasket, the oven light and the cavity are in good
condition to avoid a fire.
• A build-up of fat or other foodstuff could generate white
smoke, irritating for your eyes and the respiratory
system. We recommend that you stop the cleaning
cycle using the ON/OFF button to cool down the oven
cavity. Do not disconnect the appliance from the
electric supply. When the oven has cooled down
remove the food residue with a wet sponge.
• The manufacturer disclaims any responsability
should all the safety measures not be carried out.
