Precautions and tips

GB

￿ 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 and 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, it could catch fire.

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.

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 BARBECUE and GRATIN 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.
