Instructions for disposal

3. ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

3.1 Our environmental responsibility

Pursuant to Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and 2003/108/EC relating to the reduction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic appliances, as well as to the disposal of refuse, the crossed out bin symbol on the appliance indicates that the product, at the end of its useful life, must be collected separately from other refuse. Therefore, the user must consign the product that has reached the end of its working life to the appropriate selective collection centres for electrical and electronic refuse, or deliver it back to the retailer when purchasing an equivalent product, on a one for one basis. Adequate differentiated collection for the subsequent forwarding of the decommissioned product to recycling, processing and ecologically compatible disposal contributes to avoiding possible negative effects on the environment and on health, and promotes recycling of the appliance's constituent materials. The illicit disposal of the product by the user results in the application of administrative sanctions.

The product 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 responsibility

Our product's packing is made of non-polluting materials, therefore compatible with the environment and recyclable. Please help by disposing of the packing 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 household 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.

Some models are not provided with all accessories.

Instructions for the user

5.1 Using the rack or tray

The racks and trays are equipped with a mechanical safety lock which prevents them from being taken out accidentally. To insert the rack or tray correctly, check that the lock is facing downwards (as shown in the figure). To remove the rack or tray, lift the front slightly.

The mechanical lock must always face the back of the oven.

Insert racks and trays fully into the oven until they come to a stop.

5.2 Using the support rack

The support rack is inserted into the tray (as shown in the figure). Using this, foods can be cooked and the fat can be collected separately from the food which is being cooked.

Instructions for the user

6. USING THE OVEN

6.1 Before using the appliance

• Remove any labels (apart from the technical data plate) from trays, dripping pans and the cooking compartment.

• Remove any protective film from the outside or inside of the appliance, including from accessories such as trays, dripping pans, the pizza plate or the base cover.

• Before using the appliance for the first time, remove all accessories from the oven compartment and wash them as indicated in “8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE”.

Heat the empty appliance to the maximum temperature in order to remove any manufacturing residues which could affect the food with unpleasant odours.

6.2 General Description

6.2.1 Oven runners

Depending on the model the oven features 4 runners for positioning trays and racks at different

heights. The insertion heights are numbered from the bottom upwards (see figure).

6.2.2 Cooling system

The appliance is equipped with a cooling system which comes into operation as soon as a cooking function starts. The fan causes a steady outflow of air from above the door which may continue for a brief period of time even after the oven has been turned off.

6.2.3 Oven inside lights

The oven lights come on when the door is opened (depending on model) or any function is selected.

Instructions for the user

6.3 Warnings and general advice for usage

All cooking operations must be carried out with the door closed.

During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil and do not place pans or oven trays on it as this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.

For the best cooking results, we recommend placing cookware in the centre of the rack.

To prevent any steam in the oven from causing problems, open the door in two stages: half open (5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then fully open. If you need to access the food, always leave the door open for as short a time as possible to prevent the temperature in the oven from falling and ruining the food.

To prevent excessive amounts of condensation from forming on the internal glass, hot food should not be left inside the oven for too long after cooking.
