provided on the sides of the oven.
• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet or
moist hands and feet.
• The appliance must be used to cook food by adults
only and according to the instructions in this manual.
• 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.
• Ensure that the power supply cable of other electrical
appliances does not come into contact with the hot
parts of the oven.
• The openings used for ventilation and dispersion of
heat must never be covered.
• Always grip the oven door handle in the centre: the
ends may be hot.
• Always use oven gloves to place 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 by mistake, it could catch
fire.
• Always make sure the knobs are in the “l”/“
position when the appliance is not in use.

• Never carry out any cleaning or maintenance work
without having unplugged the plug from the mains.
• In the case of a malfunction, 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 a Service Centre (see Assistance).
• Do not rest heavy objects on the open oven door.

Disposal

• Observe local environmental standards when
disposing packaging material for recycling purposes.
Observe existing legislation when disposing of the old
appliance.
• The European Directive 2002/96/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

• By using the appliance in the hours between late
afternoon and early morning, you can help reduce the
work load placed on electrical companies.
• Always keep the oven door closed when using the
GRILL and GRATIN mode to attain best results and to
save energy (approximately 10%).
• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to
ensure they are free of debris so that they stick
properly to the door and do not allow heat to disperse.
