• Make sure 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.

• Do not use unstable or misshapen pans on the cooking zones; this

will help to avoid accidental spills. Make sure pan handles are turned
towards the centre of the hob in order to avoid accidental burns.

• Always use oven gloves when placing cookware in the oven or when

removing it.

• Do not use flammable liquids (alcohol, petrol, etc...) near the

appliance while it is in use.

• Do not place flammable material in the lower storage compartment or

in the oven itself. If the appliance is switched on accidentally, it could
catch fire.

• 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 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 Assistance.

• Do not rest heavy objects on the open oven door.
• The internal surfaces of the compartment (where present) may

become hot.

• The glass ceramic hob is resistant to mechanical shocks, but it may

crack (or even break) if hit with a sharp object such as a tool. If this
happens, disconnect the appliance from the electricity mains

immediately and contact a Service Centre.

• If the surface of the hob is cracked, switch off the appliance to

prevent electric shocks from occurring.

• Remember that the cooking zones remain relatively hot for at least

thirty minutes after they have been switched off.

• Keep any object which could melt away from the hob, for example

plastic and aluminium objects, or products with a high sugar content.
Be especially careful when using plastic film and aluminium foil or
packaging: if placed on surfaces that are still hot, they may cause
serious damage to the hob.

• Do not place metal objects (knives, spoons, pan lids, etc.) on the hob

as they may become hot.

• 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.

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, and particularly the “delayed cooking” mode (

see Cooking

modes), make this possible.

• Always keep the oven door closed when using the SPIT ROAST and

ROASTING 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.

If no operations are carried out for a period of 2 minutes, the

appliance automatically switches to the standby mode.

The standby mode is visualised by the high luminosity "Watch

Icon".

As soon as interaction with the machine resumes, the system's

operating mode is restored.

• Do not let children play with the appliance.
