5 When you have removed the packing, check that the appli-
ance is not damaged. If you have any doubts, do not use
the appliance and contact your nearest Ariston Service
Centre. Never leave the packing components (plastic bags,
polystyrene foam, nails, etc.) within the reach of children
since they are a source of potential danger.
6 The appliance must be installed only by a qualified techni-
cian in compliance with the instructions provided. The manu-
facturer declines all liability for improper installation, which
may result in personal injury and damage to property.
7 The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaran-
teed if it is correctly and efficiently earthed, in compliance
with regulations on electrical safety. Always ensure that
the earthing is efficient. If you have any doubts, contact a
qualified technician to check the system. The manufacturer
declines all liability for damage resulting from a system
which has not been earthed.
8 Before plugging the appliance into the mains, check that
the specifications indicated on the date plate (on the appli-
ance and/or packaging) correspond with those of the
electrical and gas systems in your home.

ets will support the maximum power of the appliance, as
indicated on the data plate. If you have any doubts, contact
a qualified technician.
10 An omnipolar switch with a contact opening of at least 3
mm or more is required for installation.
11 If the socket and appliance plug are not compatible, have
the socket replaced with a suitable model by a qualified
technician, who should also check that the cross-section
of the socket cable is sufficient for the power absorbed by
the appliance. The use of adaptors, multiple sockets and/
or extensions, is not recommended. If their use cannot be
avoided, remember to use only single or multiple adapters
and extensions which comply with current safety regula-
tions. In these cases, never exceed the maximum current
capacity indicated on the individual adaptor or extension
and the maximum power indicated on the multiple adapter.

persion must never be covered.

ance. Always contact an after-sales service centre which
has been authorised by the manufacturer if the cable has

• Do not allow children or persons who are not familiar
with the appliance to use it, without supervision.
17 Always unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off
the main switch before cleaning or carrying out mainte-
nance.
18 If you are no longer using an appliance of this type, re-
member to make it unserviceable by unplugging the appli-
ance from the mains and cutting the supply cable. Also
make all potentially dangerous parts of the appliance safe,
above all for children who could play with the appliance.
19 To avoid accidental spillage do not use cookware with un-
even or deformed bottoms on the electric plates. Turn the
handles of pots and pans inwards to avoid knocking them
over accidentally.
20 Never use flammable liquids such as alcohol or gasoline,
etc. near the appliance when it is in use.
21 When using small electric appliances near the hob, keep
the supply cord away from the hot parts.
22 Make sure the knobs are in the “•”/”
¡
” position when the
appliance is not in use.
23 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.
24 If the cooker is placed on a pedestal, take the necessary
precautions to prevent the same from sliding off the
pedestal itself.
25 Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge and
a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry thoroughly with
a soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive material or sharp
metal scrapers as these could scratch the surface and cau-
se the glass to crack.
