of power on the electrical line, to avoid overloads and fire risks. In general, the use of adapters
and/or extension leads is not recommended; if their use is unavoidable, they must comply
with current safety regulations and their current rating (amps) must be no lower than the
maximum current draw of the appliance.
• Before each use, check that the appliance is in good condition and ensure that the power
cord is not damaged and do not switch it on unless certain it is intact: if in doubt, call in
qualified staff.
• Place the appliance:
- well away from other heat sources (e.g. other ovens, gas hob, etc.), flammable materials
(upholstery, etc.), explosive materials (spray cans) and materials which may warp in heat
- on a firm, horizontal worktop with a heat-resistance, sufficiently strong surface, in a
position where it cannot be knocked, and far enough from the edge of the unit to ensure
that it cannot fall off
- well away from containers holding liquids, such as sinks, etc. If it accidentally gets wet or
is immersed in a liquid, first deactivate the power socket by turning off the switchboard
switch, and only then remove the plug from the power socket at once, leave it to cool, dry
it carefully and check that the electrical parts are not wet; if in doubt, call in qualified staff
- at a height of at least 85 cm, out of reach of children
•
Gaps of at least 35 cm above the appliance, 10 cm behind it and 20 cm at its sides must be
ensured.
•
Never place anything on top of the oven and do not obstruct the ventilation grilles:
obstructing the grilles may cause the appliance to overheat.
•
The oven is not made for storing food.
•
Make sure that the cable is correctly positioned and is not in contact with hot parts or sharp
edges, or wound around the appliance or twisted, and does not become entangled, to
prevent the appliance from falling. Check that no-one can trip over it, to avoid accidental
falls or injuries.
•
In case of a fault or malfunction, switch the appliance off and have it checked by qualified
staff.
