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.
• 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 the appliance.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• If the cooker is placed on a pedestal, take the
necessary precautions to prevent the same from
sliding off the pedestal itself.
• 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 public service provided 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. The cooking mode programming options, the
“delayed cooking” mode (see Cooking modes) and
“delayed automatic cleaning” mode (see Care and
Maintenance
) in particular, enable the user to organise
their time efficiently.
• Always keep the oven door closed when using the
BARBECUE 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 heat dispersion.
! This product complies with the requirements of the
latest European Directive on the limitation of power
consumption of the standby mode. If no operations are
carried out for a period of 2 minutes, the appliance
automatically switches to the standby mode. The
standby mode is visualised by the high luminosity
"Watch Icon". As soon as interaction with the machine
resumes, the system's operating mode is restored.
