all-pole 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.

(only for models with induction function).
EN81
- 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

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.

- 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.

number that follows the letter “ ”.
EN84
AFTER-SALES SERVICE
Before calling the After-Sales Service:
1. See if you can solve the problem yourself with the help of the suggestions given in the “Troubleshooting guide“.
2. Switch the appliance off and back on again it to see if the fault persists.
If after the above checks the fault still occurs, get in touch with the nearest After-sales Service.
Always specify:
• a brief description of the fault;
• the type and exact model of the oven;
• the service number (number after the word Service on the rating plate), located on the right hand edge of the oven cavity
(visible when the oven door is open). The service number is also indicated on the guarantee booklet;
• your full address;
• your telephone number.

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 cloth.
• Clean the surfaces with a damp 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.
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
• Next, leave the appliance to cool down before removing any food residue with a sponge.
Cleaning cycle of ovens with pyrolysis function (if present):
WARNING
This function burns off spatters produced inside the oven during cooking at a temperature of approx. 500°C. At this high
temperature, the deposits turn into a light ash which can be easily wiped away with a damp cloth, when the oven is cool. Do not
select the pyrolysis function after every use, only when the oven is very dirty or produces smoke or fumes while preheating or
cooking.
• If the oven is installed below a hob, make sure that all burners or electric hotplates are switched off during the selfcleaning (pyrolysis) function.
- Do not touch the oven during the pyrolysis cycle.
- Keep children away from the oven during the pyrolysis cycle.
