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 when 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 outlined 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 liable for any
damage resulting from 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 it and do not touch the
hot parts yourself.
• 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.

without having disconnected the appliance from the

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.
For further information relating to the correct disposal
of exhausted household appliances, owners may
contact the relevant public service or their local
dealer.

electricity supply network companies by using the
oven in the hours between late afternoon and the
