Important safety warnings
1 This owner's manual is for a class 1 appliance (installed
independently) or class 2 - sub-class 1 appliances (installed
between two cabinets).
2 Before using the appliance, read the instructions in this
owner’s manual carefully since you should find all the
instruction you require to ensure safe installation, use and
maintenance.
Always keep this owner’s manual close to hand since you
may need to refer to it in the future.
3 When you have removed the packing, check that the appliance
is not damaged. If you have any doubts, do not use the appliance,
contact your nearest Ariston Service Centre. Never leave the
packing components (plastic bags, foamed polystyrene, nails,
etc.) within the reach of children since they are a source of
potential danger.
4 The appliance must be installed only by a qualified person in
compliance with the instructions provided. The manufacturer
declines all responsibility for improper installation which may
harm persons and animals and damage property.
5 The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed if
the cooker is correctly and efficiently earthed, in compliance
with current regulations on electrical safety. Always ensure that
the earthing is efficient; if you have any doubts call in a qualified
electrician to check the system. The manufacturer declines all
responsibility for damage resulting from a system which has
not been earthed.
6 Before connecting the appliance to the mains, check that the
specifications indicated on the rating plate correspond to those
of the electrical mains system of your home.
7 The cooker must be connected to the mains electrical supply
via a earthed 13 or 15 amp. socket outlet, meeting the electrical
current requirements detailed under “electrical Connection” in
the installation section later in this book.
8 The openings and slots used for ventilation and dispersion of
heat on the rear and below the control panel must never be
covered.
9 This appliance must be used for the purpose for which it was
expressly designed. Any other use (e.g. heating rooms) is
considered to be improper and consequently dangerous. The
manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage resulting
from improper and irresponsible use.
10 A number of fundamental rules must be followed when using
electrical appliances. The following are of particular importance:
•
do not touch the appliance when your hands or feet are wet
•
do not use the appliance barefooted
•
never allow the Mains Cable to be stretched, pulled or
damaged if the Cooker is moved for cleaning etc. Do not
use the cooker if the Mains Cable is damaged, consult a
qualified electrician.
•
do not allow the cooker to be used unsupervised by children
or persons unfamiliar with it.
11 Always switch off the electrical supply to the cooker and allow it
to cool down before carrying out any cleaning operations etc.
12 In the case of faults and/or faulty operation, switch off the
electricity supply to the cooker and do not tamper with it. For
repairs call only an authorised after-sales servicing centre and
request the use of original spare parts only. Failure to comply
with the above may compromise the safety of the appliance.
13 Remember if you are discarding any domestic appliance with
which children etc. may play, make it safe by removing the Mains
Cable from it, after first disconnecting the electricity supply.
Remove glass parts where possible, and consider sharp edges
etc. which may now be exposed.
14 Oven gloves or similar protection should be used when moving
containers in or out of hot ovens and care should be be taken to
avoid contact with hot surfaces by exposed skin on wrists or
arms.
15 One of the commonest types of accident involving cooking
appliances is burns to babies and young children. These can
occur by:
a) Touching hot parts
b) Being splashed with hot liquids
c) By pulling projecting pan handles and tipping hot liquids
over themselves
16 Please remember that a small child’s skin is far more sensitive
and therefore easily burnt. You are, therefore, strongly advised
to keep babies and young children well clear of this appliance
during use and whilst it is cooling down after use.
17 Unstable or out of shape pans should not be used on the hob in
case they cause spillage of hot liquids by tipping over.
18 Pans must only be placed in the centre of the burners. Placing
pans off centre may cause cooking irregularites.
19 Special care should be taken when using chip pans etc. in order
to avoid splashing or spillage of hot oil. They should not be used
unattended since overheated oil may boil over and could also
ignite.
20 Parts of this appliance, cooking surfaces, retain heat for
considerable periods after switching off. Care should, therefore,
be taken when touching these areas before they have completely
cooled down.
21 Remember to keep children away from the appliance when
you use the grill or oven, since these parts become very
hot.
22 Never use flammable liquids such as alcohol or gasoline, etc.
near the appliance when it is in use.
23 Wear oven gloves when placing coockware in the oven or
removing it.
24 Never use the oven as place to store flammable material.
25 When using small electric appliances near the hob, keep the
supply cord away from the hot parts.
26 Make sure the knobs are in the “•”/”
O
” position when the appliance
is not in use.
27 Warning: open the door with care since if you are not careful
you may hurt yourself in the hinge area.
28 Gas units need a regular air replacement for a correct
functioning. Make sure that the requirements requested in
the “Positioning” paragraph are all observed in the owner’s
manual.
29 If the cooker is placed on a pedestal, take the necessary
precautions to prevent the same from sliding off the pedestal
itself.
To maintain the EFFICIENCY and SAFETY of this appliance, we recommend:
•
use only the MANUFACTURER Service
•
use only ORIGINAL Spare Parts
