General safety

•  The instruction booklet accompanies a class 1(insulated) or class 

2 - subclass 1 (recessed between2 cupboards) appliance.

•  These instructions are only valid for the countries whose symbols 

appear in the manual and on the serial number plate.

•  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 while 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 provided 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 

responsible for any damage caused as a result of 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 the appliance.

•  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.

•  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.

•  Do not perform any cleaning or maintenance work without having 

disconnected the appliance from the electricity mains.

•  If the event of malfunctions, under no circumstances should you attempt 

to perform the repairs yourself. Contact an authorised Service Centre (see 

Assistance).

•  Do not rest objects on the open oven door.

•  Do not let children play with the appliance.

•  If the cooker is placed on a pedestal, take the necessary precautions to 

prevent the cooker from sliding off the pedestal itself.

•  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

•  When disposing of packaging material: observe local legislation so that 

the packaging may be reused.

•  The  European  Directive  2012/19/EU  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

•  Whenever possible, avoid pre-heating the oven and always try to fill it. 

Open the oven door as little as possible because heat is lost every time it 

is opened. To save a substantial amount of energy, simply switch off the 

oven 5 to 10 minutes before the end of your planned cooking time and 

use the heat the oven continues to generate.

•  Automatic programmes are based on standard food product.

•  Keep gaskets clean and tidy to prevent any door energy losses 

•  If you have a timed tariff electricity contract, the “delay cooking” option 

will make it easier to save money by moving operation to cheaper time 

periods.

•  Make the most of your hot plate’s residual heat by switching off cast iron hot 

plates 10 minutes before the end of your cooking time and glass ceramic 

hot plates 5 minutes before the end of cooking time.

•  The base of your pot or pan should cover the hot plate. If it is smaller, 

precious energy will be wasted and pots that boil over leave encrusted 

remains that can be difficult to remove.

•  Cook your food in closed pots or pans with well-fitting lids and use as little 

water as possible. Cooking with the lid off will greatly increase energy 

consumption

•  Use purely flat pots and pans

•  If you are cooking something that takes a long time, it’s worth using a 

pressure cooker, which is twice as fast and saves a third of the energy.

!

 This product complies with the requirements of the latest European Directive 

on the limitation of power consumption of the standby mode.
