1. General Instructions
We thank you for choosing one of our products. For the
best results with your oven, you should read this
manual carefully and retain it for future reference.
Before installing the oven, take note of the serial
number so that you can give it to customer service staff
if any repairs are required. Having removed the oven
from its packaging, check that it has not been damaged
during transportation. If you have doubts, do not use
the oven and refer to a qualified technician for advice.
Keep all of the packaging material (plastic bags,
polystyrene, nails) out of the reach of children. When
the oven is switched on for the first time, strong
smelling smoke can develop, which is caused by the glue on the insulation panels surrounding the oven
heating for the first time.
This is absolutely normal and, if it occurs, you should wait for the smoke to
dissipate before putting food in the oven. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility in cases where
the instructions contained in this document are not observed.
NOTE: the oven functions, properties and accessories cited in this manual will vary, depending on the
model you have purchased.
1.1 Safety Indications
Only use the oven for its intended purpose, that is only for the cooking of foods; any other use, for
example as a heat source, is considered improper and therefore dangerous. The manufacturer cannot
be held responsible for any damage resulting from improper, incorrect or unreasonable usage.
The use of any electrical appliance implies the observance of some fundamental rules:
- do not pull on the power cable to disconnect the plug from the socket;
- do not touch the appliance with wet or damp hands or feet;
- in general the use of adaptors, multiple sockets and extension cables is not recommended;
- in case of malfunction and/or poor operation, switch off the appliance and do not tamper with it.
1.2 Electrical Safety
ENSURE THAT AN ELECTRICIAN OR QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN MAKES THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.
The power supply to which the oven is connected must conform with the laws in force in the country of
installation. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any damage caused by the failure to observe
these instructions. The oven must be connected to an electrical supply with an earthed wall outlet or a
disconnector with multiple poles, depending on the laws in force in the country of installation. The
electrical supply should be protected with suitable fuses and the cables used must have a transverse
section that can ensure correct supply to the oven.
CONNECTION
The oven is supplied with a power cable that should only be connected to an electrical supply with 220-
240 Vac 50 Hz power between the phases or between the phase and neutral. Before the oven is
connected to the electrical supply, it is important to check:
- power voltage indicated on the gauge;
- the setting of the disconnector.
The grounding wire connected to the oven's earth terminal must be connected to the earth terminal of
the power supply.
WARNING
Before connecting the oven to the power supply, ask a qualified electrician to check the continuity of the
power supply's earth terminal. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any accidents or other
problems caused by failure to connect the oven to the earth terminal or by an earth connection that has
defective continuity.
