Introduction safety

INTRODUCTION

Before leaving the factory each oven is carefully checked.
It must, however, be installed and used correctly.

Despite all the steps taken to make the oven safe, the safety is dependent on the correct installation and the fact
the user understands how to use and maintain the oven.

The information in this section should be used as a reminder that the oven is safe and that anyone who uses it must
first read the instructions for use in order to be able to use the oven correctly and obtain best results.

SAFETY

To avoid injury to yourself and damage to the appliance always work to the following rules when servicing an oven.

Always disconnect the plug from the mains before starting work.

If there is no plug switch off the electric supply at the control box.

When you have finished servicing an oven before you reconnect it to the mains, make sure that:

- all the internal connections are correct

- the wires are insulated and not touching the door or the cabinet or anything sharp

- all the earth connections are electrically and mechanically sound

- do not modify or anyway interfere with the safety devices built-in to the oven

- make sure that each replacement part you use conforms to the manufacturer´s specifications

Do not start a repair if you have any doubt as to your ability to complete it.

Do not operate the oven if the following conditions exist:

- the door does not close firmly against the door support because of the door being warped or the hinges damaged.

- The door trims or seals are damaged.
