when the burners are alight or when they are still hot.
• 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

• Do not rest 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 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.
Exhausted appliances may be collected by the public
waste collection service, taken to suitable collection areas
in the area or, if permitted by current national legislation,
they may be returned to the dealers as part of an
exchange deal for a new equivalent product.
All major manufacturers of household appliances
participate in the creation and organisation of systems for
the collection and disposal of old and disused appliances.
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.
• 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.
