always use the purpose provided handles recessed
into the sides of the oven to prevent harming
people or damaging the appliance itself.
•
This appliance is designed for non-professional, house-

and some parts of the oven door become extremely
hot. Make sure you don’t touch them and keep chil-
dren well away.
The following items are potentially dangerous, and
therefore appropriate measures must be taken to
prevent children and the disabled from coming into
contact with them:
-
Controls and the appliance in general;
-
Packaging (bags, polystyrene, nails, etc.);
-
The appliance itself, immediately after use of the oven
or grill due to the heat generated;
-
The appliance itself, when no longer in use (potentially
dangerous parts must be made safe).
