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

The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even
in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave

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 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

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 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. Contact your Local Organisation in
charge of waste disposal.
Make the appliance unusable by cutting off the
electrical cable before disposal.
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. The
cooking mode programming options, and
particularly the delayed cooking mode (
see
Cooking modes
), make this possible.
Always keep the oven door closed when using the
BARBECUE or 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.
