Ø IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
After having unpacked the range, check to ensure that it is not damaged and the oven door closes
correctly. In case of doubt, do not use it and consult your supplier or a professionally qualified
technician.
Packing elements (i.e. plastic bags, polystyrene foam, packing straps, etc.) should not be left around
within easy reach of children, as these may cause serious injuries.
The range has been thoroughly tested for safe and efficient operation. However, as with any
appliance, there are specific installation and safety precautions that must be followed to ensure safe
and satisfactory operation.
•
Do not attempt to modify the technical characteristics of the appliance as this may become
dangerous to use.
•
Do not carry out cleaning or maintenance operations on the appliance without having
previously disconnected it from the electric power supply.
•
After use, ensure that the knobs are in position or the “standby” position.
•
Never touch the appliance with wet hands or feet.
•
Do not operate the appliance barefooted.
•
Do not allow children or other incapable people to use the appliance without supervision.
•
During and after use of the range, certain parts will become very hot. Do not touch hot parts.
•
Keep children away from the range when it is in use.
• Fire Risk!
Do not store flammable materials in the oven or in the bottom drawer.
• Fire Risk!
Do not attempt to dry clothing or any other type of textile in the oven or in the
bottom drawer.
•
Make sure that electrical cables connecting other appliances in the proximity of the range
cannot come into contact with the hob or become entrapped in the oven door.
•
Do not line the oven walls with aluminum foil. Do not place shelves, pans, backing trays, broil
tray or other cooking utensils on the base of the oven chamber.
•
The manufacturer declines all liability for injury to persons or damage to property caused by
incorrect or improper use of the range.
•
To avoid any possible hazard, the appliance must be installed by qualified personnel only.
Any repairs by unqualified persons may result in electric shock or short circuit. In order to
avoid possible injuries to your body or to the range, do not attempt ant repairs by yourself.
Such work should be carried out by qualified service personnel only.
• Burn Hazard!
The oven and cooking accessories may become very hot during operation.
Make sure children are kept out of reach and warn them accordingly. To avoid burns use
clothes and gloves when handling hot parts or utensils.
•
Stand away from the range when operating oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can
cause burns to hands, face, and/or eyes.
•
Never clean the oven with any high-pressure steam cleaning devices, as it may provoke a
short circuit.
•
Do not leave anything on the top of oven vent. Never cover the oven vent opening with
aluminum foil or any other material.
•
This range is intended for household use. Never use the appliance for any other purpose.
•
If you should decide not to use the range any longer (or decide to substitute an older model),
before disposing of it, it is recommended that it be made inoperative in an appropriate manner
in accordance to health and environmental protection regulations, ensuring in particular that
all potentially hazardous parts be made harmless, especially in relation to children who could
play with old appliances. Remove the door before disposal to prevent entrapment.
