!
This appliance has been designed and manufactured in compliance
with international safety standards. The following warnings are
provided for safety reasons and must be read carefully.
General safety
• These instructions are only valid for the countries whose symbols
appear in the manual and on the serial number plate located on the
appliance.
• 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.
• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet 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
outlined 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 liable
for any damage resulting from improper, incorrect and
unreasonable use of the appliance.
• The instruction booklet accompanies a class 1 (insulated) or class 2 -
subclass 1 (recessed between 2 cupboards) 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 openings used for the ventilation and dispersion of heat must
never be covered.
• Do not use unstable or misshapen pans on the 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.
• Always use oven gloves when placing cookware in the oven or when
removing it.
• Do not use flammable liquids (alcohol, petrol, etc...) near the
appliance while it is in use.
• Do not place flammable material in the lower storage compartment or
in the oven itself. If the appliance is switched on accidentally, it could
catch fire.
• Always make sure the knobs are in the • 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.
• Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work without having
disconnected the appliance from the electricity mains.
• If the appliance breaks down, under no circumstances should you
attempt to perform the repairs yourself. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons may cause injury or further malfunctioning of
the appliance. Contact Assistance.
• Do not rest heavy objects on the open oven door.
• The internal surfaces of the compartment (where present) may
become hot.
• The glass ceramic hob is resistant to mechanical shocks, but it may
crack (or even break) if hit with a sharp object such as a tool. If
this happens, disconnect the appliance from the electricity mains
immediately and contact a Service Centre.
• If the surface of the hob is cracked, switch off the appliance to
prevent electric shocks from occurring.
• Remember that the cooking zones remain relatively hot for at least
thirty minutes after they have been switched off.
• Keep any object which could melt away from the hob, for
example plastic and aluminium objects, or products with a high
sugar content. Be especially careful when using plastic film and
aluminium foil or packaging: if placed on surfaces that are still
hot, they may cause serious damage to the hob.
• Do not place metal objects (knives, spoons, pan lids, etc.) on the
hob as they may become hot.
• 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 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.
• Do not let children play with the appliance.
Disposal
• When disposing of packaging material: observe local legislation
so that the packaging may be reused.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household
appliances should not be disposed of using the normal solid
urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected
separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling
the materials inside the machine, while preventing potential
damage to the atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-
out dustbin is marked on all products to remind the owner of
their obligations regarding separated waste collection.
For further information relating to the correct disposal of
exhausted household appliances, owners may contact the
public service provided or their local dealer.
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. The cooking mode
programming options, and particularly the “delayed cooking”
mode (
see Cooking modes
), make this possible.
• Always keep the oven door closed when using the SPIT ROAST,
BARBECUE and ROASTING modes. this will achieve improved
results while saving energy (approximately 10%).
• Check the door seals regularly and wipe them clean to ensure
they are free of debris so that they adhere properly to the door,
thus avoiding the dispersal of heat.
• This product complies with the requirements of the latest
European Directive on the limitation of power consumption of
the standby mode.
If no operations are carried out for a period of 2 minutes, the
appliance automatically switches to the standby mode.
The standby mode is visualised by the high luminosity
„Watch Icon”.
As soon as interaction with the machine resumes, the
system’s operating mode is restored.
