PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL ADVICE
• The appliance is designed solely for domestic
use for cooking food. No other use is allowed.
The Manufacturer declines all liability for
inappropriate use or incorrect setting of the
controls.
• Any repairs or adjustments must be carried out
exclusively by a qualified technician.
• Never expose the oven to atmospheric agents.
• Do not place heavy objects on the door as they
could damage the oven compartment and
hinges. Do not cling to the door.
• Do not hang anything heavy on the oven door
handle.
• Do not cover the oven floor with aluminium
foil or other objects.
• The oven door must close properly. The door
seals must be kept clean.
• Do not pour water directly inside a hot oven. The
enamel coating could become damaged.
• Fruit juice dripping from the baking tray may
leave permanent stains. It is advisable to clean
the appliance before reusing it.
• To prevent the oven coating from being
scratched, do not drag pots and pans across
the bottom of the oven.
• The accessible parts of the appliance may
become very hot during use. Keep children
away.
• Never use abrasive materials or substances to
clean the GLASS, as they could damage it.
• The unit becomes very hot during use. Do not
touch the heating elements in the oven.
• Residual condensation after cooking could
eventually damage the oven and surrounding
kitchen units. We recommend that you:
-
set the lowest temperature;
-
cover food;
-
remove food from the oven;
-
dry wet parts when the oven is cool.
• Caution: The front panel and oven door
handle become hot when the appliance is
used for a long time at high temperatures.
• Do not touch the appliance with wet parts of
the body or use it when barefoot.
• Do not pull the appliance or the power cable to
unplug it.
• Do not allow children to touch:
-
the controls and the appliance in general,
especially during and immediately after
use: risk of injury;
-
packing (bags, polystyrene, metal parts,
etc.);
-
any appliance to be scrapped.
• The appliance is not intended for use by
children or persons with limited physical,
sensory or mental abilities or without
experience and knowledge of it, unless they
are under the supervision of or instructed in its
use by a person responsible for their safety.
• Make sure the electrical cables of any other
appliances used near the oven do not touch
hot parts or get caught in the oven door.
• Do not place flammable materials in the oven
or nearby, due to the risk of fire if the oven is
inadvertently switched on.
• Use oven gloves to remove pans and
accessories when the oven is hot.
• If alcoholic beverages (e.g. rum, cognac, wine,
etc.) are added when roasting or baking cakes,
etc., remember that alcohol evaporates at high
temperatures. Vapours released by the alcohol
may catch fire on coming into contact with the
electrical heating element.
• Do not heat or cook foods in closed containers.
The pressure created inside could cause them
to explode, damaging the oven.
• Do not use containers made of synthetic
material for cooking (except for packages
specifically designed for this purpose; see the
manufacturer's instructions). They could melt
at high temperatures.
• Always pay attention when cooking with oil
and grease. Oil and fat can overheat and catch
fire!
• Never pull out fully loaded shelves. Use
extreme caution.
