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.

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/reheating of food, in accordance with the instructions provided in this booklet.

Ensure that the power supply cables of other electrical appliances do not come into contact with the hot parts of the compartment.

Always use oven gloves when removing cookware from the compartment.

Do not place flammable materials in the compartment: if the appliance is switched on accidentally, these materials could catch fire.

The internal surfaces of the compartment may become hot.

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).

Disposal

GB

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.

Exhausted appliances may be collected by the public waste collection service, taken to suitable collection areas in the area or, if permitted by current national legislation, they may be returned to the dealers as part of an exchange deal for a new equivalent product.

All major manufacturers of household appliances participate in the creation and organisation of systems for the collection and disposal of old and disused appliances.
