Precautions and tips
!
This appliance has been designed and manufactured in 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 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
