Please read these instructions before
installing and using your oven.
The oven has been designed for domestic
use only for cooking food. No asbestos has
been used in its construction.

Using for the first time

Before you use your oven for the first time,
leave it empty and, with the door closed,
turn it on to maximum temperature and let
it heat up for 30 minutes. This "runs the
oven in". During this time there may be
some smell from the mineral wool that
insulates the oven and there could be
some smoke. This is perfectly normal.

Normal use

- Always close the door properly. The oven
is fitted with a seal designed to work with a
closed door.

- Never lean or let anyone sit on the oven
door when it is open.

- The oven parts and accessories can
become hot when the door is left partially
open and the grill on. Always keep children
at a safe distance.

- When the oven is on it will get hot. Take
care not to touch the heating elements
inside the oven.

- Always protect your hands with oven
gloves or something similar when removing
food, accessories or containers from the
oven.

- Do not line your oven with kitchen foil.
The metal will increase the heat produced
and could ruin the food and damage the
enamel.

- Before carrying out the pyro-cleaning of
your oven, be sure to remove all oven
accessories and wipe away major spillage.

- Do not use a steam or high-pressure
cleaner.

- During the cleaning cycle accessible
surfaces become much hotter than during
normal cooking. Keep children at a
distance.

- Always check that the oven is off before
you clean the inside.

- For your safety your oven is equipped
with an AUTOMATIC STOP should you
inadvertently forget to turn off your oven.
After 10 hours' operation, the AS
(Automatic Stop) function is activated and
your oven stops heating. AS is displayed in
place of the time and a series of
2 successive pips is sounded for a certain
time.
