Precautions and tips
! The appliance was 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.
• 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 provided in this booklet (the instructions
apply to all countries listed at the beginning of the
booklet).
• The instruction booklet accompanies a class 1
(insulated) or class 2 - subclass 1 (recessed
between 2 cupboards) appliance.
• Keep children away from the oven.
• 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 close the glass hob cover (selected models
only) when the burners are alight or when they are
still hot.
• 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
and that the gas tap is closed 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 repair
the appliance 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.
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.
Exhausted appliances may be collected by the
public waste collection service, taken to suitable
collection areas in the area or, if permitted by
current national legislation, they may be returned to
the dealers as part of an exchange deal for a new
equivalent product.
All major manufacturers of household appliances
participate in the creation and organisation of
systems for the collection and disposal of old and
disused appliances.
Respecting and conserving the
environment
• Always keep the oven door closed when using the
GRILL and DOUBLE GRILL modes. This will achieve
better results while saving energy (approximately
10%).
If the cooker is placed on a pedestal, take the neces-
sary precautions to prevent the cooker from sliding
off the pedestal itself.
•
• Whenever possible, avoid pre-heating the oven
and always try to fill it. Open the oven door as little
as possible because heat is lost every time it is
opened. To save a substantial amount of energy,
simply switch off the oven 5 to 10 minutes before the
end of your planned cooking time and use the heat
the oven continues to generate.
• Keep gaskets clean and tidy to prevent any door
energy losses
• If you have a timed tariff electricity contract, the “delay
cooking” option will make it easier to save money by
moving operation to cheaper time periods.
