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 instruction booklet accompanies a class
1(insulated) or class 2 - subclass 1 (recessed
between2 cupboards) appliance.
• These instructions are only valid for the countries
whose symbols appear in the manual and on the
serial number plate.
• 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.
• Always make sure the knobs are in the “0” 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.
• 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.
• If the cooker is placed on a pedestal, take the necessary
precautions to prevent the cooker from sliding off the
pedestal itself.
• 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 temperature of the cooking zones
remains relatively high for at least thirty minutes after
they have been switched off.
• Keep any object that could melt away from the hob, for
example plastic and aluminium objects, or products with
a high sugar content. Keep plastic or aluminium objects
away from the hob: if you forget them on surfaces that
are still hot, they may cause serious damage to the hob.
• 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.
• Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the
appliance.
• Do not let children play with 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/EEC 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.
