General safety

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

provided in this booklet.
• The instruction booklet accompanies a class 1 (insulated)

• When the appliance is in use, the heating elements and
some parts of the oven door become extremely hot.
Make sure you don't touch them and keep children
well away.
• 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 place unstable or misshapen pans on the electric
hotplates; this will help to avoid spills. Position them on
the hob with the handles turned towards the centre of the

• 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.

• 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.
• The internal surfaces of the compartment (where present)
may become hot.
• 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.
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
• 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.
• Always keep the oven door closed when using the
BARBECUE and GRATIN modes: to attain best results
and to save 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 heat dispersion.
