Congratulations on choosing an Ariston appliance, which you will find is dependable and easy to use. We recommend that
you read this manual for best performance and to extend the life of your appliance. Thank you.
1. This appliance has been designed for private, non-
professional use in normal dwellings.
2. Read the recommendations in this instruction
booklet carefully, as they give important advice
regarding safe installation, use and maintenance.
Keep this booklet in a safe place for further

3. Oven accessories which may come into contact with
food are made of materials which comply with the
contents of EEC Regulation 89/109 of 21.12.88 and
national regulations in force.
4. After having removed the packaging, check that the
appliance is intact. If in doubt, do not use the appliance

5. Some parts are covered with a removable scratch-proof
film. Before using the appliance the film should be
removed and the underlying part cleaned with a cloth
and a non-abrasive household cleaning product. When
switching on for the first time, it is advisable to heat the
empty oven at maximum temperature for about 30
minutes to eliminate any residue from manufacture.
6. All installation and adjustment operations should be
carried out by qualified technicians in accordance with
current regulations. Specific indications are given in
the “instructions for the installer” paragraph.
7. Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the
data on the rating plate (situated on the rear part of the
appliance and on the last page of the instruction
booklet) correspond to those of the mains electricity
and gas supplies.
8. During operation, the oven glass door and adjacent
parts of the appliance become hot. Make sure,
therefore, that children do not touch the appliance.
For greater safety, an additional child-safety device is
available from our Head Office and our Authorised
Service Centres (see enclosed list). When ordering this,
please give the code: BAB - followed by the appliance
model. The model is stamped on the plate which is
visible on the front part of the oven upon opening the
door.
9. Check that the capacity of the electrical system and
the power outlets are suitable for the maximum power
of the appliance, indicated on the rating plate. If in doubt,
consult a professionally qualified technician.
10. Periodically check the condition of the gas connection
pipe and have it replaced by a qualified technician as
soon as it shows any signs of wear or anomaly.
11. Under no circumstances should the user replace the
power supply cable or the gas connection pipe of this
appliance. In the event of damage or the necessity for
replacement, only contact an authorised service centre.
12. Do not leave the appliance plugged in if it is not in use.
Switch off the main switch and gas supply when you
are not using the cooker.
13. The burners and the cast-iron pan supports remain hot
for a long time after use. Take care not to touch them.
14. To avoid accidental spillage do not use cookware with
uneven or deformed bottoms on the burners.
15. Never use flammable liquids such as alcohol or
gasoline, etc. near the appliance when it is in use.
16. If the cooker is placed on a pedestal, take the necessary
precautions to prevent the same from sliding off the
pedestal itself.
