SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT
Disposal of packaging materials

•
marked with the recycle symbol .
Packing materials should therefore not be
•
thrown away with household rubbish but
disposed of as directed by local authorities.
IMPORTANT NOTES
This oven is designed solely for use as a home
•
appliance for cooking food. Any other use is
forbidden. The manufacturer assumes no
responsibility for damage caused by improper or
incorrect use.
Any repairs or servicing must be carried out
•
exclusively by a qualified technician.
Never expose the oven to atmospheric agents.
•

•
handle.
• Do not cover the bottom of the oven with
aluminium foil or other objects.
The oven door must close properly. The door

seals must be kept clean.
Do not pour water directly into the inside of a
•
hot oven. The enamel coating could be
damaged.
Fruit juice drippings from the baking tray may
•
leave permanent stains. We recommend the oven
be cleaned before reusing it.
Never drag pots and pans across the bottom of
•
the oven to prevent the coating from being
scratched.
Disposal of old appliances
The appliances have been manufactured with
•
recyclable or reusable materials. Disposal must
be carried out in accordance with local
environmental regulations for waste disposal.
Before disposing of them make them unusable
by cutting off the supply cable.
Energy saving
Only pre-heat the oven if specified in the
•
cooking table of the Product Description Sheet
or in your recipe.
Use dark, black enamelled baking moulds as they
•
absorb heat very well.
Residual condensation after cooking could
•
damage the oven and surrounding kitchen units
in time. We recommend that you:
- set the lowest temperature;
- cover food;
- remove food from the oven;
- dry the wet parts when the oven is cool.
The front panel and the handle of the oven door
•
warm up when the appliance is switched on for
a long time at high temperatures.
Never touch the oven with any wet part of the
•
body and do not operate it with bare feet.
Do not pull the appliance or the power supply
•
cable to disconnect them from the electrical
supply.
• Keep children away from the following
elements as they are sources of danger:
- the oven and its controls, especially when in
operation and immediately afterwards to
avoid injury.
- packaging (bags, polystyrene, metal parts,
etc.)
- an oven to be scrapped.

• Make sure that the electrical cables of other
appliances used near the oven do not touch hot
parts and are not trapped in the oven door.
• Some oven models are equipped with an air
cooling system to prevent the front of the oven
and cabinet cavity from reaching excessively
high temperatures.
Attention: Steam and smoke are vented through
an opening located between the control panel and
the oven door. Do not obstruct the vent opening.
• Do not place inflammable material in the oven or
nearby: a fire may break out if the oven is
inadvertently switched on.
• Use oven gloves to remove pans and accessories,
when the oven is hot.
BEFORE USING THE OVEN
• Remove the accessories from the oven and heat
it 200°C for about an hour to eliminate the smell
of the protective grease and insulating
materials. Keep the window open during this
operation.
• If alcoholic beverages are added when roasting
or cooking cakes and sweets (for example, rum,
cognac, wine, etc.) remember that alcohol
evaporates at high temperatures. It may happen
that vapours released by the alcohol can catch
fire when they are in contact with the electric
heating element.
• Do not heat sealed containers in the oven
(except for packages specifically designed for
this purpose; see the manufacturer's
instructions). The pressure that develops inside
the packaging might cause it to explode,
damaging the oven.
• Do not use containers made of synthetic
material for cooking (except for packages
specifically designed for this purpose; see the
manufacturer's instructions). They could melt at
high temperatures.
• Keep an eye on the oven if you are using a lot of
fat or oil. Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire!
• Never pull out fully loaded s helves. Use extreme
caution.
• Before using the oven, remove:
- stickers on the front and oven door, except
for the rating plate;
- cardboard protection and protective plastic
film from the front panel controls and other
parts of the oven;
- any sticky labels from the accessories
(for example, under the drip tray).
