Precautions and tips
! The appliance was 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.
• When handling the appliance, always use the handles provided
on the sides of the oven.
• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet or moist
hands and feet.
• The appliance must be used to cook food by adults only and
according to the instructions in this manual.
• 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.
• Ensure that the power supply cable of other electrical appliances
does not come into contact with the hot parts of the oven.
• The openings used for ventilation and dispersion of heat must
never be covered.
• Always grip the oven door handle in the centre: the ends may be
hot.
• Always use oven gloves to place cookware in the oven or when
removing it.
• Do not use aluminium foil to line the bottom of the oven.
• Do not place flammable materials in the oven: if the appliance is
switched on by mistake, it could catch fire.
• Always make sure the knobs are in the “l”/“ ¡ ” 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 carry out any cleaning or maintenance work without having
unplugged the plug from the mains.
• In the case of a malfunction, under no circumstances should you
attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons may cause injury or further malfunctioning
of the appliance. Contact a Service Centre (see 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.
• Do not let children play with the appliance.
Disposal
• Observe local environmental standards when disposing packaging
material for recycling purposes. Observe existing legislation when
disposing of the old appliance.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household
electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal
unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be
collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and
recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on
human health and the environment. The crossed out “wheeled
bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that
when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately
collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for
information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.
Respecting and conserving the
environment
• By using the appliance in the hours between late afternoon and
early morning, you can help reduce the work load placed on
electrical companies.
• Always keep the oven door closed when using the GRILL and
GRATIN mode to attain best results and to save energy
(approximately 10%).
• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are
free of debris so that they stick properly to the door and do not
allow heat to disperse.
