IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

IMPORTANT: This appliance is designed and manufactured 

solely for the cooking of domestic (household) food and is 

not suitable for any non domestic application and therefore 

should not be used in a commercial environment.

The appliance guarantee will be void if the appliance is used 

within a non domestic environment i.e. a semi commercial, 

commercial or communal environment.

Read the instructions carefully before installing and using 

the appliance.

• 

After having unpacked the appliance, check to ensure that it is not 

damaged and that the oven door closes correctly .

 

In case of doubt, do not use it and consult your supplier or a 

professionally qualified technician.

• 

Packing elements (i .e . plastic bags, polystyrene foam, nails, 

packing straps, etc .) should not be left around within easy reach of 

children, as these may cause serious injuries .

• 

Some appliances are supplied with a protective film on steel and 

aluminium parts . 

This film must be removed before using the 

appliance.

• 

IMPORTANT: The use of suitable protective clothing/gloves is 

recommended when handling or cleaning this appliance .

• 

Do not attempt to modify the technical characteristics of the 

appliance as this may become dangerous to use . The manufacturer 

declines all responsibility for any inconvenience resulting from the 

inobservance of this condition .

• 

Do not operate your appliance by means of an external timer or 

separate remote-control system .

• 

Do not carry out cleaning or maintenance operations on the 

appliance without having previously disconnected it from the 

electric power supply .

• 

WARNING: Ensure that the appliance is switched off before 

replacing the oven lamp to avoid the possibility of electric shock .

• 

Do not use a steam cleaner because the moisture can get into the 

appliance thus make it unsafe .

• 

Do not touch the appliance with wet or damp hands (or feet) .

• 

Do not use the appliance whilst in barefoot .

• 

If you should decide not to use this appliance any longer (or 

decide to substitute another model), before disposing of it, it is 

recommended that it be made inoperative in an appropriate manner
