The appliance was designed for domestic use
inside the home and is not intended for
commercial or industrial use.

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 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, the
materials could catch fire.
The internal surfaces of the compartment (where

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 perform the
repairs yourself. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons may cause injury or further
malfunctioning of the appliance. Contact Assistance.

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. For further information relating to
the correct disposal of exhausted household
appliances, owners may contact the public service
provided or their local dealer.
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. The cooking mode programming
options, the delayed cooking mode (see Cooking
modes) and delayed automatic cleaning mode (see
Care and Maintenance) in particular, enable the user
to organise their time efficiently.
Always keep the oven door closed when using the
BARBECUE and GRATIN modes: This will achieve
improved 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.
