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.

• 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.
