compliance with international safety standards. The
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 handling the appliance, always use the
handles 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 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.
• 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 ""/""
position 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 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
20
further malfunctioning of the appliance. Contact a
Service Centre (see Assistance).
• Do not rest heavy objects on the open oven door.
• 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.
• Do not let children play with the appliance.
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by
means of an external timer or separate remote-
control system.

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.
