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.
• 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.
• Do not let children play with the appliance.
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by
means of an external timer or separate remote-
control system.
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.
