Precautions and tips
! The appliance was 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 handling 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
moist hands and feet.
The appliance must be used to cook food by adults only
and according to the instructions in this manual.
When the appliance is in use, the heating
elements and some parts of the oven door
become extremely hot. Make sure you don't
tou
ch them and keep children well away.
Ensure that the power supply cable of other electrical
appliances does not come into contact with the hot
parts of the oven.
The openings used for 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 to place 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 by mistake, it 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 carry out any cleaning or maintenance work
without having unplugged the plug from the mains.
In the case of a malfunction, 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 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
Observe local environmental standards when disposing
packaging material for recycling purposes. Observe
existing legislation when disposing of the old appliance.
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
By using the appliance in the hours between late
afternoon and early morning, you can help reduce the
work load placed on electrical companies.
Always keep the oven door closed when using the
GRILL and GRATIN modes: to attain best results and
to save 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.
Recycling & Disposal
Information
As part of Hotpoint's continued commitment to helping the
environment, Hotpoint reserves the right to use quality
recycled components to keep down customer costs and
minimise material wastage.
Please dispose of packaging and old appliances carefully.
To minimise risk of injury to children, remove the door, plug

of these parts separately to ensure that the appliance can
no longer be plugged into a mains socket, and the door
cannot be locked shut.
