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

This is a class 3 built-in appliance.

Gas appliances require regular air exchange to

maintain efficient operation. When installing the

cooker, follow the instructions provided in the

paragraph on “Positioning” the appliance.

• 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 moving or positioning the appliance, always use

the handles provided on the sides of the oven.

• Do not touch the appliance while barefoot 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. Any other

use of the appliance (e.g. for heating the room)

constitutes improper use and is dangerous. The

manufacturer may not be held responsible for any

damage caused as a result of 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 ventilation and heat dispersal openings must never

be obstructed.

• Always grip the oven door handle in the centre: the ends

may be hot.

• Always use oven gloves when placing 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 accidentally, the materials could

catch fire.

• 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.

• Do not perform any cleaning or maintenance work without

having disconnected the appliance from the electricity

mains.

• If the event of malfunctions, under no circumstances

should you attempt to perform the repairs yourself.

Contact an authorised Service Centre (see Assistance).

• Do not rest objects on the open oven door.

• Do not let children play with the appliance.

• 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.

• 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 2012/19/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. 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 GRILL

modes: This will achieve improved results while saving

energy (approximately 10%).

• 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.

Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off

Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before

carrying out any work on it.

Cleaning the appliance

• The stainless steel or enamel-coated external parts and

the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that

has been soaked in lukewarm water and neutral soap.

Use specialised products for the removal of stubborn

stains. After cleaning, rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not

use abrasive powders or corrosive substances.
