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, ie. a cupboard.

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.

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

General instructions

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 non-

observance of the above prescriptions or by interference with any part of the appliance or by the use of non-original spare parts.

General instructions

2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Consult the installation instructions for safety standards on electrical or gas appliances and for ventilation functions. In your interests and for your safety the law requires that the installation and servicing of all electrical and gas appliances be carried out by qualified personnel in accordance with the standards in force. Our approved installers guarantee a satisfactory job. Gas or electrical appliances must always be uninstalled by suitably skilled people.

Before connecting the appliance to the power grid, check the data on the plate against the data for the grid itself.

If the appliance is installed on a raised platform, secure it using suitable fastening systems.

Before carrying out installation/maintenance work, make sure that the appliance is disconnected from the power grid.

If cooking appliances are installed in motor vehicles (for example, camper vans, caravans etc.), they must only be used when the vehicle is stationary.

Where this appliance is installed in marine craft or in caravans, it shall not be used as a space heater.

Install the appliance so that when opening the drawers or doors of units positioned at the level of the hob there is no possibility of making contact with pans positioned on top of it.

Immediately after installation, carry out a quick test on the appliance following the instructions provided later in this manual. Should the appliance not function, disconnect it from the power supply and call the nearest technical assistance centre.

The plug to be connected to the power supply cable and its socket must be of the same type and conform to the standards in force. The socket must be accessible after the appliance has been installed.

Never disconnect the plug by pulling on the cable.

If the power supply cable is damaged, contact the technical assistance centre immediately and they will replace it.

The appliance must be connected to earth in compliance with electrical system safety standards.

During use the appliance and its accessible parts become very hot. Take care never to touch the heating elements. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Accessible parts will become hot when in use. To avoid burns and scalds, young children should be kept away.

Never put inflammable objects in the oven: they could be accidentally ignited and cause fires.

The appliance is intended for use by adults. Do not allow children to go near it or play with it.

This 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 supervised or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a responsible person for their safety.

Instructions for disposal

3. ENVIRONMENTAL CARE

3.1 Our environmental care

Adequate selective collection for the subsequent forwarding of the decommissioned product to recycling, treatment and ecologically compatible disposal contributes to avoiding possible negative effects on the environment and on health and promotes the recycling of the materials of which the appliance consists. Illicit disposal of the product by the user will lead to the application of administrative sanctions.

The appliance does not contain substances in quantities sufficient to be considered hazardous to health and the environment, in accordance with current European directives.

3.2 Your environmental care

Our appliances are packed in non-polluting materials, which are therefore compatible with the environment and recyclable. Please help by disposing of the packaging correctly. You can obtain the addresses of collection, recycling and disposal centres from your retailer or from the competent local organisations.

Do not discard the packaging or any part of it, or leave it unattended. It can constitute a suffocation hazard for children, especially the plastic bags.

Your old appliance also needs to be disposed of correctly. Important: hand over your appliance to the local agency authorised for the collection of electrical appliances no longer in use. Correct disposal enables intelligent recovery of valuable materials. Before disposing of your appliance it is important to remove doors and leave shelves in the same position as for use, to ensure that children cannot accidentally become trapped inside during play. It is also necessary to cut the connecting cable to the power supply network, removing it along with the plug.
