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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not place unstable or misshapen pans on the electric
hotplates; this will help to avoid spills. Position them on the
hob with the handles turned towards the centre of the
appliance.
• 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.
• Do not place flammable material in the lower storage
compartment or in the oven itself. If the appliance is
switched on accidentally, it could catch fire.
• 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 repair the appliance 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 internal surfaces of the compartment (where present)
may become hot.
• 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.
• 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.
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.
Exhausted appliances may be collected by the public
waste collection service, taken to suitable collection areas
in the area or, if permitted by current national legislation,
they may be returned to the dealers as part of an exchange
deal for a new equivalent product.
All major manufacturers of household appliances
participate in the creation and organisation of systems for
the collection and disposal of old and disused appliances.
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.
• 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.
