1 This appliance is intended for non-professional use
within the home.
2 Before use your cooker, read the instructions in this
owner’s manual carefully since you will find all the
instruction you require to ensure safe installation,
use and maintenance. Always keep this owner’s
manual close to hand since you may need to refer
to it in the future.
3 When you have removed the packing, check that the
appliance is not damaged. If you have any doubts, do
not use the appliance, contact your nearest Service
Centre. Never leave the packing components (plastic
bags, foamed polystyrene, nails, etc.) within the reach
of children since they are a source of potential danger.
4 The appliance must be installed only by a qualified
technician in compliance with the instructions provided.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for improper
installation which may harm persons and animals and
damage property.
5 The electrical safety of this appliance can only be
guaranteed if the cooker is correctly and efficiently
earthed, in compliance with regulations on electrical
safety. Always ensure that the earthing is efficient; if you
have any doubts call in a qualified technician to check
the system. The manufacturer declines all responsibility
for damage resulting from a system which has not been
earthed.
6 Before plugging the appliance into the mains, check that
the specifications indicated on the date plate correspond
to those of the electrical and gas mains system of your
home.
7 Check that the electrical capacity of the system and
sockets will support the maximum power of the cooker,
as indicated on the data plate. If you have any doubts,
call in a qualified technician.
8 An omnipolar switch with a contact opening of at least 3
mm or more, is required for the installation.
9 If the socket and cooker plug are not compatible, have
the socket replaced with a suitable model by a qualified
technician who should also check that the cross-section
of the socket cable is suited to the power absorbed by
the appliance. The use of adaptors, multiple sockets and/
or extensions, is not recommended.
10 Do not leave the appliance plugged in if it is not in use.
Switch off the main switch and gas supply when you are
not using the cooker.
11 The openings and slots used for ventilation and
dispersion of heat on the rear and below the control panel
must never be closed or plugged.
12 The user must not replace the supply cable of this
appliance. Always call an after-sales servicing centre
authorised by the manufacturer in the case of cable
damage or replacement.
13 This appliance must be used for the purpose for which it
was expressly designed. Any other use (e.g. heating
rooms) is considered to be improper and consequently
dangerous. The manufacturer declines all responsibility
for damage resulting from improper and irresponsible
use.
14 A number of fundamental rules must be followed when
using electrical appliances. The following are of particular
importance:
•
do not touch the appliance when your hands or feet
are wet
•
do not use the appliance barefooted
•
do not use extensions, but if these are necessary
caution must be exercised.
•
never pull the power supply cable or the appliance to
unplug the appliance plug from the mains.
•
never leave the appliance exposed to atmospheric
agents (rain, sun etc.)
•
do not allow children or persons who are not familiar
with the appliance to use it, without supervision.
15 Always unplug the cooker from the mains or switch off
the main switch before cleaning or carrying out
maintenance operations.
16 In the case of faults and/or faulty operation, switch off
the appliance, close the gas cock and do not tamper
with the cooker. For repairs call only an authorised after-
sales servicing centre and request the use of original
spare parts only. Failure to comply with the above may
compromise the safety of the appliance.
17 If you are no longer using an appliance of this type,
remember to make it unserviceable by unplugging the
appliance from the mains and cutting the supply cable.
Also make all potentially dangerous parts of the
appliance, safe, above all for children who could play
with the appliance.
18 One of the commonest types of accident involving
cooking appliances is burns to babies and young children.
These can occur by:
a) Touching hot parts
b) Being splashed with hot liquids
c) By pulling projecting pan handles and tipping hot
liquids over themselves
19 Please remember that a small child’s skin is far more
sensitive and therefore more easily burnt than an adult.
You are, therefore, strongly advised to keep babies and
young children well clear of this appliance during use
and whilst it is cooling down after use.
20 Unstable or out of shape pans should not be used on
the hob in case they cause spillage of hot liquids.
21 Pans must only be placed in the centre of electric rings
and of grids on gas burners. Placing pans off centre or
to one side may cause spillage.
22 Special care should be taken when using chip pans etc.
in order to avoid splashing or spillage of hot oil. They
should not be used unattended since overheated oil may
boil over and ignite on the hot heating element or gas
flame.
23 Parts of this appliance, particularly hob hot plates, retain
heat for considerable periods after switching off. Care
should, therefore, be taken when touching these areas
before they have completely cooled down.
24 Petrol and other inflammable solvents should not be used
in the vicinity of the appliance whilst it is in use.
25 When you are using the grill or the oven, some parts
of the door can become very hot. Keep children away
from these.
26 To avoid accidental spillage do not use cookware with
uneven or deformed bottoms on the electric plates.
27 Make sure the knobs are in the “•”/”o” position when the
appliance is not in use.
28 Before opening the cover, make sure to remove any
liquids that might be on it.
