1.4 - WARNINGS
• Read all the instructions carefully before using the appliance.
• This oven has been designed to cook food. It must never be used for other purposes, modified or tampered with in
any way.
• Place the appliance on a horizontal surface at a height of at least 85 cm and out of reach of children.
• Wash all accessories thoroughly before use.
• Before plugging into the mains, make sure that:
- the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the rating plate;
- the mains socket has a minimum rating of 16A and an earth wire.
The manufacturer declines all liability in the event that this important accident-prevention rule is not respected.
• Before using the oven for the first time, remove any paper and other material inside the oven such as protective cardboard, booklets, plastic bags, etc.
• Before using for the first time, operate the oven empty with the thermostat at maximum for at least 15 minutes to eliminate the "new" smell and any smoke caused by the presence of protective substances applied to the elements before transport. During this operation, ventilate the room.
IMPORTANT: when you have unpacked the appliance, make sure the door is undamaged and working correctly.
The door is made from glass and is therefore fragile. If it is visibly chipped, scored or scratched, it should be
replaced. While using, cleaning or moving the appliance, avoid slamming or knocking the door violently. Do not
pour cold liquid onto the glass while the appliance is hot.
• When in operation, the door and accessible external surfaces could become very hot. Always use the knobs, handles
and buttons. Never touch metal parts or the glass. Use oven gloves if necessary.
• This electrical appliance operates at high temperatures which could cause burns.
• The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Do not move the appliance while in use.
• Do not use the appliance if…
- the power cable is faulty,
- the appliance has been dropped, is visibly damaged or malfunctions.
Should this occur, to avoid all risk take the appliance to your nearest authorised service centre.
• Do not let the power cable dangle and avoid touching hot parts of the oven. Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the
power cable.
• If you intend to use an extension, make sure it is in good condition, that the plug is earthed and that the cross section
of the wires is at least equal to that of the power cable provided with the appliance.
• To avoid all risk of electric shock, never immerse the power cable, plug or appliance itself in water.
• Never position the appliance near heat sources.
• Do not leave inflammable products near the oven or under the work surface where it is located.
• Bread may burn. Never leave the oven unattended during toasting or grilling. Never operate the appliance under a
wall cupboard or shelf or near inflammable materials such as curtains, blinds, etc.
• Do not use the appliance as a heat source.
• Never place paper, cardboard or plastic inside the oven and never rest anything on top of the appliance (utensils,
wire racks, other objects).
• Never insert anything into the ventilation openings. Make sure they are unobstructed.
• If food or other parts of the oven catch fire, never try and put out the flames with water. Close the door, unplug
from the mains and smother the flames with a damp cloth.
• This oven is not designed for built-in installation.
• When the door is open, remember:
- never exert excessive pressure with overly heavy objects or pull the handle downwards;
- never rest heavy containers or boiling saucepans just out of the oven on the open door.
• Given the differences in legislation in force, if the appliance is used in a country other than
that where it was bought, have it checked by an authorised service centre.
• For your personal safety, never take the appliance to pieces on your own. Always contact an
authorised service centre.
• This appliance is designed for domestic use only. Professional or inappropriate use, or failure to observe the instructions absolves the manufacturer from all responsibility and invalidates the guarantee.
• When not in use and before cleaning, always unplug the appliance.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the
surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
