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 at the end of the useful life of the product, it must be
collected separately from other refuse. Therefore, at the end of the product's
working life, the user must deliver it to the appropriate differentiated collection
centres for electrical and electronic waste, 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. Illicit
disposal of the product by the user will lead to 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.

42

3.2 Your environmental responsibility

Our product's packing is made of 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 grid, removing it along with the plug.

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 at the side).
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 pizza plate (on some models only)

With the oven cold, remove the circular
cover from the bottom (as shown in the
figure) and insert the pizza plate.
Make sure that the plate is inserted
correctly in the recess provided.
For cooking use the special pizza

function .

Do not use the pizza plate other than as described, for example do not use it on
gas or glass ceramic hobs or in ovens which are not designed for this purpose.

If you wish to add oil to your pizza, it is best to add it after removing it from the
oven since oil stains on the pizza plate are unsightly and may reduce its
efficiency.

In models where it is provided, if the pizza plate is not in use, cover the bottom
of the oven with the cover provided.

45

Instructions for the user

5.3 Using the pizza spatula (on some models only)

Always grip the pizza spatula on the
wooden handle to put food in and take it
out of the oven.
You are advised to dust the steel surface
lightly with flour to make it easier to slide
fresh products on and off, as they could
stick to the steel due to their moisture
content.

6. FRONT PANEL

All the controls and indicator lights can be seen on the front panel. The tables
below describe the symbols used.

ELECTRIC OVEN THERMOSTAT KNOB

The cooking temperature is selected by turning the knob
clockwise to the desired setting, between 50 and 250°C.
When the transparent section displaying the set
temperature lights up, it means that the oven is heating up.
When it goes out, the preset heating temperature has been
reached.
When the light flashes regularly, it means that the
temperature inside the oven is kept steady on the set level.

TIMER KNOB

This knob enables manual cooking or the timer to be
selected; the timer switches off the oven automatically at
the end of cooking. For manual control of the cooking time,

turn the knob anti-clockwise to the symbol .

To set the cooking time, turn the knob clockwise. Time is
expressed in minutes (5 to 120). Adjustment is progressive
so that the time can also be set to any intermediate value
between these numbers. A bell inside the timer will sound
to indicate the end of programmed cooking periods.
