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 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.

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

 

GB

(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.

 

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 relevant public service 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 the

dispersal of heat.

!This product complies with the requirements of the latest European Directive on the limitation of power consumption of the standby mode.
