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
• These instructions are only valid for the
countries whose symbols appear in the manual
and on the serial number plate.
• 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
provided in this booklet.
• 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 “0” 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 glass ceramic hob is resistant to mechanical shocks,
but it may crack (or even break) if hit with a sharp object
such as a tool. If this happens, disconnect the appliance
from the electricity mains immediately and contact a
Service Centre.
• If the surface of the hob is cracked, switch off the
appliance to prevent electric shocks from occurring.
• Remember that the temperature of the cooking zones
remains relatively high for at least thirty minutes after they
have been switched off.
• Keep any object that could melt away from the hob, for
example plastic and aluminium objects, or products with a
high sugar content. Keep plastic or aluminium objects away
from the hob: if you forget them on surfaces that are still
hot, they may cause serious damage to the hob.
• This 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 supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
• The installation instructions for cooking ranges that placed
on the floor shall state that if the range is placed on a
base, measures have to be taken to prevent the appliance
slipping from the base.
• Do not let children play with the appliance.
 Before operating the product, remove all plastic film from the
sides of 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.
• Always keep the oven door closed when using the GRILL
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.
