• Before using the oven for the first time, remove any paper and other material inside the oven such as protective card-
board, 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 eli-
minate the "new" smell and any smoke caused by the presence of protective substances applied to the elements befo-
re transport. During this operation, ventilate the room.
IMPORTANT: when you have unpacked the appliance, make sure the door is undamaged and working correctly. 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.
• As for any heating appliance, take particular care when using the oven in the presence of children and/or
unfit persons. Never allow children to 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 appliance 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.

wall cupboard or shelf or near inflammable materials such as curtains, blinds, etc.
• Do not use the appliance as a heat source.
• Never place paper, cardboard or plastic inside the oven and never rest anything on top of the appliance (utensils, wire
racks, other objects).
• Never insert anything into the ventilation openings. Make sure they are unobstructed.
• If food or other parts of the oven catch fire, never try and put out the flames with water. Close the door, unplug
from the mains and smother the flames with a damp cloth.
• This oven is not designed for built-in installation.
• When the door is open, remember:
- never exert excessive pressure with overly heavy objects or pull the handle
downwards;
- never rest heavy containers or boiling saucepans just out of the oven on the open
door.
• Given the differences in legislation in force, if the appliance is used in a country other
than that where it was bought, have it checked by an authorised service centre.
• For your personal safety, never take the appliance to pieces on your own. Always con-
tact an authorised service centre.
• This appliance is designed for domestic use only. Professional or inappropriate use, or failure to observe the instruc-
tions absolves the manufacturer from all responsibility and invalidates the guarantee.
