General instructions

1. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

This manual is an integral part of the appliance. It must be kept in its entirety and in an accessible place for the whole working life of the appliance. We recommend reading this manual and all information it contains carefully before using the appliance. Installation must be carried out by qualified personnel in accordance with the standards in force. This appliance is intended for domestic use and conforms to the EC directives currently in force. The appliance has been built to carry out the following functions: cooking and heating up food; all other uses are considered unsuitable.

These instructions are valid only for the destination countries whose identifying symbols are included on the cover of this manual.

Never obstruct the openings and slots provided for ventilation and heat dispersal; this may cause malfunctions.

Do not use this appliance for heating rooms.

The identification plate with technical data, serial number and brand name is located in an exposed position either in the drawer (where present) or on the back of the appliance. A copy of the identification plate is included in the booklet. It should be applied to an adjacent surface. Do not remove this plate for any reason.

Before the appliance is put into operation, all labels and protective films applied on external surfaces must be removed.

Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers: they will damage the surfaces. Use normal non-abrasive products and a wooden or plastic tool if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry using a soft cloth. Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set inside the oven. If left to set for too long, they might damage the enamel lining of the oven.

Do not use plastic kitchenware or containers. The high temperatures inside the oven could melt the plastic, damaging the appliance.

Always check that the control knobs are in the “zero” (off) position when you finish using the appliance.

Do not use sealed tins or containers in the appliance. Overpressure may occur inside the containers during cooking, creating a danger of explosion.

Do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil sheets during cooking and do not place pans or trays on it to avoid damage to the enamelled surface.

Never place saucepans with bases which are not perfectly flat and smooth on the hob. Unstable cookware can lead to scalding.

Do not rest any weight or sit on the open door of the appliance. Excessive weight may jeopardise its stability.

The appliance becomes very hot during use. Suitable heat-proof gloves should be worn for all operations.

General instructions

Do not use the hob if pyrolysis (where present) is taking place inside the oven.

If you intend to go away for a prolonged period of time, close the mains gas tap or the gas cylinder tap.

Take care that no objects are stuck in the door of the oven.

Do not open the storage compartment (where present) when the oven is on and still hot. The temperatures inside it may be very high.

If the surfaces are still very hot during cooking, do not pour water directly onto the trays. The steam could cause severe burns and damage enamelled surfaces.

All cooking operations must take place with the door closed. The dissipation of heat may cause hazards.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage to persons or things caused by nonobservance of the above prescriptions or by interference with any part of the appliance or by the use of non-original spare parts.
