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.
• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet 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.
• The instruction booklet accompanies a class 1
(insulated) or class 2 - subclass 1 (recessed between
2 cupboards) appliance.
• When the appliance is in use, the heating
elements and some parts of the oven door
become extremely hot. Make sure you don't touch
them and keep children well 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 openings used for the ventilation and dispersion
of heat must never be covered.
• Always use oven gloves when placing cookware in
the oven or when removing it.
• Do not use flammable liquids (alcohol, petrol, etc...)
near the appliance while it is in use.
• Do not place flammable material in the lower storage
compartment or in the oven itself. If the appliance is
switched on accidentally, the materials could catch
fire.
• Always make sure the knobs are in the
•
position
and that the gas tap is closed 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.
• Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work
without having disconnected the appliance from the
electricity mains.
• If the appliance breaks down, under no
circumstances should you attempt to perform the
repairs yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced
persons may cause injury or further malfunctioning of
the appliance. Contact Assistance.
• Do not rest heavy objects on the open oven door.
• If the cooker is placed on a pedestal, take all
necessary precautions to ensure that the appliance
does not slide off this pedestal.
• 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.
Exhausted appliances may be collected by the
public waste collection service, taken to suitable
collection areas in the area or, if permitted by current
national legislation, they may be returned to the
dealers as part of an exchange deal for a new
equivalent product.
All major manufacturers of household appliances
participate in the creation and organisation of
systems for the collection and disposal of old and
disused appliances.
Respecting and conserving the environment
• Always keep the oven door closed when using the
GRILL mode: 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 heat dispersion.
