	General safety
	•	This is a class 3 built-in appliance.
	•	Gas appliances require regular air exchange to
		maintain efficient operation. When installing the
		hob, follow the instructions provided in the
		paragraph on “Positioning” the appliance.
	•	These instructions are only valid for the countries
		whose symbols appear in the manual and on the
		serial number plate.
	•	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.
	•	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 outlined 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 liable for any
		damage resulting from improper, incorrect and
		unreasonable use of 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 ventilation and dispersion of
		heat must never be covered.
	•	Always make sure the knobs are in the “”/“”
		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 detached the plug from the mains.

		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).

•Remove any liquid from the lid before opening it.

•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.

•The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote- control system.

Disposal

•When disposing of packaging material: observe local legislation so that the packaging may be reused.

•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 may take their old appliance to public waste collection areas, other communal collection areas, or if national legislation allows return it to a retailer when purchasing a similar new product.

All major household appliance manufacturers are active in the creation of systems to manage the collection and disposal of old appliances.

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 and cut mains cable off flush with the appliance. Dispose 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.
