Disposal instructions

2. DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS - OUR ENVIRONMENT POLICY

Our products are only packaged using non-pollutant, environment-friendly,
recyclable materials. We urge you to cooperate by disposing of the
packaging properly. Contact your local dealer or the competent local
organisations for the addresses of collection, recycling and disposal
facilities.
Never leave all or part of the packaging lying around. Packaging parts, and
especially plastic bags, may represent a suffocation hazard for children.

Your old appliance must also be disposed of properly.
Important: deliver the appliance to your local organisation authorised to
collect scrapped appliances. Proper disposal allows the intelligent
recovery of valuable materials.

Before scrapping your appliance it is important to remove doors and leave
shelves in position as for use, to ensure that children cannot accidentally
become trapped inside the oven during play. Also, cut the power supply
lead and remove it and the plug.

5. BEFORE INSTALLATION

Never leave packaging residues unattended in the home. Separate waste
packaging materials by type and consign them to the nearest separate
disposal centre.

The inside of the appliance should be cleaned to remove all manufacturing
residues. For further information, see "10. CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE".

When the oven and grill are used for the first time, they should be heated
to the maximum temperature for long enough to burn off any oily residues
left by the manufacturing process, which might contaminate foods with
unpleasant smells.

IMPORTANT (ON MODELS WITH INTEGRATED CONTROLS)

To access the control knobs they must first be
extracted; simply press them and they will spring
out into the operating position on their own (Fig.

oven is in operation as otherwise they may
overheat. To return them to the rest position, press
them right down until the catch engages. To open
the oven door the handle must first be extracted;
simply press it and it will spring out into the right
