Precautions and tips
!
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
• 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.
• 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.
• 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/EC 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. The cooking mode programming options,
the “delayed cooking” mode (see Cooking modes) and
“delayed automatic cleaning” mode (see Care and
Maintenance) in particular, enable the user to organise
their time efficiently.
• Always keep the oven door closed when using the GRILL
and FAN GRILLING 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.
Maintenance and care
Switching the appliance off
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before
carrying out any work on it.
Cleaning the appliance
• Slight differences in colour on the front of the oven are due
to the different materials used, i.e. glass, plastic or metal.
• Any shady areas resembling grooves on the oven door
glass are caused by reflections from the oven light.
• The enamel is branded at very high temperatures. This
process may cause colour variations. This is normal and
will not affect appliance operation in any way. The thin
edges of the sheet metal cannot be entirely enamelled
and may therefore appear to be unfinished. This will not
affect the rust protection.
• The stainless steel or enamel-coated external parts and
the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that
has been soaked in lukewarm water and neutral soap.
Use specialised products for the removal of stubborn
stains. After cleaning, rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not
use abrasive powders or corrosive substances.
