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.

•  When moving or positioning the appliance, always use 

the handles provided on the sides of the oven.

•  Do not touch the appliance while barefoot 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. Any other 

use of the appliance (e.g. for heating the room) 

constitutes improper use and is dangerous. The 

manufacturer may not be held responsible for any 

damage caused as a result of improper, incorrect 

and unreasonable use of the appliance.

• 

Do not touch the heating elements or certain parts 

of the oven door when the appliance is in use; these 

parts become extremely hot. Keep children well away 

from the appliance.

•  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).

•  Do not rest objects on the open oven door.

•  Do not let children play with the appliance.

•  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.

•  The  appliance  is  not  intended  to  be  operated  by 

means  of  an  external  timer  or  separate  remote-

control system.

Disposal

•  When  disposing  of  packaging  material:  observe  local 

legislation so that the packaging may be reused.

•  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. 

Use  specialised  products  for  the  removal  of  stubborn 

stains. After cleaning, rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not 

use abrasive powders or corrosive substances.
