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.
When moving or positioning the appliance, always
use the handles provided on the sides of the oven.
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 provided in this booklet.
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.
Ensure 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 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 l/
¡
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.
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 perform the
repairs yourself. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons may cause injury or further
malfunctioning of the appliance. Contact a Service
Centre (see 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 relating to
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
states that household appliances should not be
disposed of using the normal solid urban waste
cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected
separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using
and recycling the materials inside the machine,
while preventing potential damage to the
atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-out
dustbin is marked on all products to remind the
owner of their obligations regarding separated waste
collection. For further information relating to the
correct disposal of exhausted household
appliances, owners may contact the public service
provided or their local dealer.
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 and FAN GRILLING modes: This will
achieve improved results while saving energy
(approximately 10%).
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.
