•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).

•The European Directive 2012/19/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
•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.
Maintenance and care
Switching the appliance off
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any work on it.
Cleaning the appliance
•Slight differences in colour on the front of the oven are due to the different materials used, i.e. glass, plastic or metal.
•Any shady areas resembling grooves on the oven door glass are caused by reflections from the oven light.
•The enamel is branded at very high temperatures. This process may cause colour variations. This is normal and will not affect appliance operation in any way. The thin edges of the sheet metal cannot be entirely enamelled and may therefore appear to be unfinished. This will not affect the rust protection.
•The stainless steel or enamel-coated external parts and the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water and neutral soap.
