Caution
In order to guarantee that your appliance operates in a safe and efficient manner:
•
seek help only from authorised technical assistance centres;
• always insist on the use of original spare parts.
1 This appliance was designed for domestic use inside the
home.
2 These instructions are only valid for the countries whose
symbols appear in the manual and on the serial number plate
located on the appliance.
3 This is a class 1 (insulated) or class 2 - subclass 1
(recessed between 2 cabinets) appliance.
4 Before using the appliance, please read this instruction
booklet carefully as it contains important information regarding
the safe installation, use and maintenance of the cooker. Keep
this booklet in a safe place so that, if necessary, it may be
consulted at a later date.
5 After the packaging has been removed, ensure that the
appliance is intact and not damaged in any way. If there is any
doubt, contact a professionally qualified technician and do
not use the appliance. All packaging (plastic bags, polystyrene
foam, staples, etc.) should be kept out of reach of children as
it is potentially dangerous.
6 The appliance must be installed by a qualified person in
compliance with the instructions provided. The manufacturer
shall not be held responsible for any harm caused to persons
or animals or for any damage to personal property resulting
from incorrect installation.
7 The electrical safety of this appliance is only guaranteed when
it has been correctly connected to an efficient earthed electricity
supply in compliance with current electrical safety regulations.
This is a fundamental safety requirement that must be checked
and, if there is any doubt, you should ask a professionally
qualified technician to carry out a thorough check of the supply
system. The manufacturer may not be held responsible for
any damage caused by a mains supply that has not been
earthed correctly.
8 Before connecting the appliance, make sure its rating (which
can be found on the appliance itself and/or on the packaging)
corresponds to the power supply.
9 Make sure that the mains supply and the electrical sockets
can withstand the maximum power of the appliance, which is
indicated on the serial number plate. If there is any doubt,
contact a professionally qualified technician.
10 The appliance must be connected to the mains by means of
an omnipolar switch with a minimum contact opening of 3
mm.
11 If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask a professionally
qualified technician to replace it with a suitable one. The
technician should also make sure that the power cables
attached to the socket can withstand the maximum power of
the appliance. In general, it is not advisable to use adaptors,
multiple sockets and/or extension cords. If this cannot be
avoided, only use single or multiple adaptors and extension
cords that comply with current safety regulations. Never exceed
the maximum current capacity indicated on the single adaptor
or extension cord, or the maximum power level indicated on
the multiple adaptor.
12 Do not leave the appliance plugged in if it is not in use. Shut
off the main switch for the appliance when it is not being used.
13 The openings used for ventilation and dispersion of heat must
never be covered.
14 Do not attempt to replace the power supply cable yourself. If
the cable is damaged or needs replacing, contact a technical
assistance centre that has been authorised by the
manufacturer.
15 This appliance should only be used for the purpose for which
it was designed. Any other purpose (for example, heating the
room) constitutes improper use of the oven 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.
16 All users of electrical appliances should observe several basic
rules. These include:
•
Do not touch the appliance with wet or damp hands or
feet.
• Do not use the appliance when barefoot.
• Do not use extension cords. If this cannot be avoided, be
especially careful.
• When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug from
the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.
• Do not leave the appliance exposed to atmospheric
agents (rain, sunlight, etc.)
• Do not allow children or disabled individuals to operate
the appliance without supervision.
17 Always disconnect the appliance from the mains supply (either
by unplugging it or by shutting off the switch) before cleaning
it or carrying out any maintenance work.
18 Before disposing of the appliance, make it unusable by
unplugging it and cutting off the power supply cable. It is also
advisable to remove any potentially hazardous parts,
especially with regard to children who may use the old
appliance as a toy.
19 Do not use unstable or misshapen pans on the electric cooking
zones; this will help to avoid accidental spills. Make sure pan
handles are turned towards the centre of the hob in order to
avoid accidental burns.
20 Do not use flammable liquids (alcohol, petrol, etc...) near the
appliance while it is in use.
21 If you are using small domestic appliances near the hob,
ensure that their power supply cables do not come into contact
with the hot parts of the surface.
22 Always make sure that the knobs are in the “<B>•”/“

position when the appliance is not in use.
23 The heating elements and certain parts of the oven door
become extremely hot when the appliance is in use. Do
not touch these parts yourself and keep children well away
from the appliance.
24 If the cooker is placed on a pedestal, take all necessary
precautions to ensure that the appliance does not slide off
this pedestal.
25 If the surface of the glass cracks, unplug the appliance
immediately. For any repairs, contact only an authorised after-
sales service centre and demand original spare parts. Failure
to comply with the above may compromise the safety appliace.
26 The glass ceramic hob is resistent to thermal and mechanical
shocks. However, it may break due to a shock caused by a
sharp object, such as tool for example. In this case, unplug
the appliance immediately and contact an authorised after-
sales service centre to have it repaired.
27 Rememer that the heating area stays hot for at least half
an hour after being turned off; please refrain from placing
any cookware or other items on the cooking zone while
still hot
