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
• 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
• 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.
• 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.
• The internal surfaces of the compartment (where present) may
become hot.
• Always make sure the knobs are in the
•
position and that the
gas tap is closed 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 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
• When disposing of packaging material: observe local legislation so
that the packaging may be reused.
• 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
• 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.
