• 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 “
O
” 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 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.

•
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.
• Always keep the oven door closed when using the GRILL
modes: This will achieve improved results while saving
energy (approximately 10%).
• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure
they are free of debris so that they stick properly to the
door and do not allow heat to disperse.
