!
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
•
This is a class 3 built-in appliance.
•
Gas appliances require regular air exchange to
maintain efficient operation. When installing
the cooker, follow the instructions provided in
the paragraph on “Positioning” the appliance.
• 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 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.
•
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 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 to place cookware in the
oven or to remove 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 by mistake, 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 carry out any cleaning or maintenance work
without having unplugged the plug from the
mains.
• In case of malfunction, under no circumstances
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
).
• Do not place heavy objects on the open oven
door.
• 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.
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 should contact their local authority or
retailer for information concerning the correct
disposal of their old appliance.
Respecting and conserving the
environment
• By using the appliance in the hours between late
afternoon and early morning, you can help reduce
the workload placed on electrical companies.
• Always keep the oven door closed when using the
GRILL mode in order to attain the best results and
to save energy (approximately 10%).
• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to
ensure they are free of debris so that they stick
properly to the door and do not allow heat to
disperse.
