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 glass ceramic hob is resistant to temperature
fluctuations and shocks. It is, however, wise to remember
that blades or cooking utensils may ruin the surface of the
hob. If this happens, remove the plug of the cooker from
the electricity socket and contact an authorised Technical
Assistance Centre in order to request original spare parts.
Failure to comply with the above may compromise the
safety of the appliance.
• 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.
• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet 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 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
• The instruction booklet accompanies a class 1 (insulated)
or class 2 - subclass 1 (recessed between 2 cupboards)
appliance.
• Keep children away from the oven.
• Make sure that the power supply cables of other electrical
appliances do not come into contact with the hot parts of
the oven.
• The openings used for the ventilation and dispersion of
heat must never be covered.
• Always use oven gloves when placing cookware in the
oven or when removing it.
• Do not use flammable liquids (alcohol, petrol, etc...) near
the appliance while it is in use.
• Do not place flammable material in the lower storage
compartment or in the oven itself. If the appliance is
switched on accidentally, 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 perform any cleaning or maintenance work without
having disconnected the appliance from the electricity
mains.
• If the appliance breaks down, 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
Assistance.
• Do not rest heavy objects on the open oven door.
• Do not allow the cooker to be used unsupervised by
children or persons unfamiliar with it.
•
If the cooker is placed on a pedestal, take the
necessary precautions to prevent the cooker from
sliding off the pedestal itself.
Disposal
• When disposing of packaging material: observe local
legislation so that the packaging may be reused.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that
household appliances should not be disposed of using
the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances
should be collected separately in order to optimise
the cost of re-using and recycling the materials inside
the machine, while preventing potential damage to the
atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-out dustbin
is marked on all products to remind the owner of their
obligations regarding separated waste collection.
Exhausted appliances may be collected by the public
waste collection service, taken to suitable collection areas
in the area or, if permitted by current national legislation,
they may be returned to the dealers as part of an
exchange deal for a new equivalent product.
All major manufacturers of household appliances
participate in the creation and organisation of systems for
the collection and disposal of old and disused appliances.
Respecting and conserving the environment
• You can help to reduce the peak load of the electricity
supply network companies by using the oven in the hours
between late afternoon and the early hours of the morning.
• Always keep the oven door closed when using the GRILL
modes. This will achieve better results while saving energy
(approximately 10%).
• Check the door seals regularly and wipe them clean to
ensure they are free of debris so that they adhere properly
to the door, thus avoiding heat dispersion.
