Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could cause serious injury.

All safety warnings give specific details of the potential risk present and
indicate how to reduce risk of injury, damage and electric shock
resulting from improper use of the appliance. Carefully observe the
following instructions:

- The appliance must be disconnected from the power supply before
carrying out any installation work.

- Installation and maintenance must be carried out by a qualified
technician, in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions and
local safety regulations. Do not repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless specifically stated in the user manual.

- Power cable replacement must be carried out by a qualified
electrician. Contact an authorized service centre.

- Regulations require that the appliance is earthed.

- The power cable must be long enough for connecting the
appliance, once fitted in its housing, to the main power supply.

- For installation to comply with current safety regulations, an all­pole disconnect switch with minimum contact gap of 3 mm must
be utilized.

- Do not use multiple plug adaptors if the oven is fitted with a plug.

- Do not use extension leads.

- Do not pull the power supply cable.

- The electrical components must not be accessible to the user after
installation.

- If the surface of the induction plate is cracked, do not use it and
switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock
(only for models with induction function).

EN1

- Do not touch the appliance with any wet part of the body and do
not operate it when barefoot.

- This appliance is designed solely for use as a domestic appliance for
cooking food. No other type of use is permitted (e.g.: heating
rooms). The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for
inappropriate use or incorrect setting of the controls.

- This appliance can be used by children from 8 years and above and
persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or
lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe
way and understand hazards involved. Children shall not play with
the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made
by children without supervision.

- The accessible parts of the appliance may become very hot during
use. Young children should be kept away from the appliance and
supervised to ensure that they do not play with it.

- The appliance and its accessible parts become hot during use. Care
should be taken to avoid touching heating elements. Children less
than 8 years old shall be kept away, unless continuously supervised.

- During and after use, do not touch the heating elements or interior
surfaces of the appliance - risk of burns. Do not allow the appliance
to come into contact with cloths or other flammable materials until
all the components have cooled sufficiently.

- At the end of cooking, exercise caution when opening the
appliance door, letting the hot air or steam exit gradually before
accessing the oven. When the appliance door is shut, hot air is
vented from the aperture above the control panel. Do not obstruct
the vent apertures.

- Use oven gloves to remove pans and accessories, taking care not to
touch the heating elements.

- Do not place flammable materials in or near the appliance: a fire
may break out if the appliance is inadvertently switched on.

- Overheated oils and fats catch fire easily. Always remain vigilant
when cooking foods rich in fat and oil.

- Never leave the appliance unattended during food drying.

- If alcoholic beverages are used when cooking foods (e.g. rum,
cognac, wine), remember that alcohol evaporates at high
temperatures. As a result, there is a risk that vapours released by the
alcohol may catch fire upon coming into contact with the electrical
heating element.

- Never use steam cleaning equipment.

- Do not touch the oven during the pyrolysis cycle. Keep children
away from the oven during the pyrolysis cycle. Excess spillage must
be removed from the oven cavity before cleaning cycle (only for
ovens with Pyrolysis function).

the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may
result in shattering of the glass.

- Ensure that the appliance is switched off before replacing the lamp
to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

- Do not use aluminium foil to cover food in the cooking vessel
(only for ovens with cooking vessel supplied).

CLEANING

WARNING

- Never use steam cleaning equipment.

- Only clean the oven when it is cool to the touch.

- Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

Oven exterior

IMPORTANT: do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents. If any of these products accidentally comes into contact with
the appliance, clean immediately with a damp Microfibre cloth.

• Clean the surfaces with a damp Microfibre cloth. If it is very dirty, add a few drops of washing up detergent to the water.
Finish off with a dry cloth.

Oven interior

IMPORTANT: do not use abrasive sponges or metallic scrapers or scourers. Over time, these can ruin enamelled surfaces
and the oven door glass.

• After every use, allow the oven to cool then clean it preferably while it is still warm in order to remove built-up dirt and
stains caused by food residues (e.g. food with a high sugar content).

• Use proprietary oven detergents and follow the manufacturer’s instructions to the letter.

• Clean the door glass with a suitable liquid detergent. The oven door can be removed to facilitate cleaning (see MAINTENANCE).

• The top heating element of the grill (see MAINTENANCE) can be lowered (some models only) to clean the roof of the oven.

N.B.: during prolonged cooking of foods with a high water content (e.g. pizza, vegetables, etc.) condensation may form
on the inside of the door and around the seal. When the oven is cold, dry the inside of the door with a cloth or sponge.

Accessories:

• Soak the accessories in water with washing up detergent immediately after use, handling them with oven gloves if still hot.

• Food residues can be easily removed using a brush or sponge.

Induction Plate:

• When cool to the touch, use a sponge and suitable liquid detergent for ovens or hobs. Do not clean the induction plate in
a dishwasher.

Internal Electrical Socket:

• Remove the metallic plug cover; use a humidified sponge to clean the plug. Do not use metallic and/or sharp tools.

Cooking Vessel:

• Suitable for dishwashing. Alternatively, use soft sponge and suitable liquid detergent.

Cleaning the rear wall and catalytic side panels of the oven (if present):

IMPORTANT: do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents, coarse brushes, pot scourers or oven sprays which could
damage the catalytic surface and ruin its self-cleaning properties.

• Operate the oven empty with the fan-assisted function at 200°C for about one hour.
