THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL LIABILITY FOR USES OTHER THAN
THOSE STATED ABOVE.

NEVER USE THIS APPLIANCE FOR HEATING ROOMS.

NEVER LEAVE PACKAGING RESIDUES UNATTENDED IN THE HOME.
SEPARATE THE VARIOUS PACKAGING MATERIALS BY TYPE AND CONSIGN
THEM TO THE NEAREST SEPARATE DISPOSAL CENTRE.

THIS APPLIANCE IS MARKED ACCORDING TO THE EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE

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.

MODELS ONLY)

SHELF AND TRAY RUNNERS

TEMPERATURE SENSOR

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 about cleaning, see point "11.
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.

7. USING THE OVEN

7.1 Precautions and General Advice

With the oven off (in standby status) the display will show the current time
with a dimmer light than that used when the oven is in operation.

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.

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

Oven accessories which may come into contact with foods are made from
materials compliant with directive 89/109/EEC of 21/12/88 and national
relevant regulations.

To avoid unpleasant contact with any steam inside
the oven, open the door in two stages: hold it half­open (about 5 cm) for 4-5 seconds, then open it
completely. If you have to carry out any procedures
on foods, leave the door open for as short a time as
possible to prevent a drop in the oven temperature
which will impair the cooking results.

36

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