Precautions and tips
! This appliance has been designed and manufactured 
in compliance with international safety standards. The 
following warnings are provided for safety reasons and 
must be read carefully.
General safety
•  The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the 
home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use.
•  The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in 
covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the 
appliance exposed to rain and storms.
•  When moving or positioning the appliance, always use 
the handles provided on the sides of the oven.
•  Do not touch the appliance while barefoot or with wet or 
damp hands and feet.
• 
The appliance must be used by adults only for 
the preparation of food, in accordance with the 
instructions provided in this booklet. Any other 
use of the appliance (e.g. for heating the room) 
constitutes improper use and is dangerous. The 
manufacturer may not be held responsible for any 
damage caused as a result of improper, incorrect 
and unreasonable use of the appliance.
• 
Do not touch the heating elements or certain parts 
of the oven door when the appliance is in use; these 
parts become extremely hot. Keep children well away 
from the appliance.
•  Make sure that the power supply cables of other electrical 
appliances do not come into contact with the hot parts of 
the oven.
•  The ventilation and heat dispersal openings must never 
be obstructed.
•  Always grip the oven door handle in the centre: the ends 
may be hot.
•  Always use oven gloves when placing cookware in the 
oven or when removing it.
•  Do not use aluminium foil to line the bottom of the oven.
•  Do  not  place  flammable  materials  in  the  oven:  if  the 
appliance is switched on accidentally, the materials could 
catch fire.
•  When unplugging the appliance, always pull the plug 
from the mains socket; do not pull on the cable.
•  Do not perform any cleaning or maintenance work without 
having disconnected the appliance from the electricity 
mains.
•  If the event of malfunctions, under no circumstances 
should you attempt to perform the repairs yourself. 
Contact an authorised Service Centre (see Assistance).
•  Do not rest objects on the open oven door.
•  Do not let children play with the appliance.
•  The appliance should not be operated by people (including 
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental 
capacities, by inexperienced individuals or by anyone 
who is not familiar with the product. These individuals 
should, at the very least, be supervised by someone who 
assumes responsibility for their safety or receive preliminary 
instructions relating to the operation of the appliance.
•  The appliance is not intended to be operated by 
means  of  an  external  timer  or  separate  remote-
control system.
Disposal
•  When disposing of packaging material: observe local 
legislation so that the packaging may be reused.
•  The European Directive 2012/19/EC on Waste 
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires 
that old household electrical appliances must not 
be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal 
waste stream. Old appliances must be collected 
separately in order to optimise the recovery and 
recycling of the materials they contain and reduce 
the impact on human health and the environment.  
The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product 
reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose 
of the appliance it must be separately collected. 
  Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer 
for information concerning the correct disposal of their 
old appliance.
Respecting and conserving the environment
•  You can help to reduce the peak load of the electricity 
supply network companies by using the oven in the 
hours between late afternoon and the early hours of 
the morning. The cooking mode programming options, 
the “delayed cooking” mode (see Cooking modes) and 
“delayed automatic cleaning” mode (see Care and 
Maintenance) in particular, enable the user to organise 
their time efficiently.
•  Always keep the oven door closed when using the GRILL 
and GRATIN modes: this will achieve improved results 
while saving energy (approximately 10%).
•  Check the door seals regularly and wipe them clean 
to ensure they are free of debris so that they adhere 
properly to the door, thus avoiding the dispersal of heat.
Maintenance and care
Switching the appliance off
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before 
carrying out any work on it.
Cleaning the appliance
•  Slight differences in colour on the front of the oven are due 
to the different materials used, i.e. glass, plastic or metal.
•  Any shady areas resembling grooves on the oven door 
glass are caused by reflections from the oven light.
•  The enamel is branded at very high temperatures. This 
process may cause colour variations. This is normal and 
will not affect appliance operation in any way. The thin 
edges of the sheet metal cannot be entirely enamelled 
and may therefore appear to be unfinished. This will not 
affect the rust protection.
•  The stainless steel or enamel-coated external parts and 
the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that 
has been soaked in lukewarm water and neutral soap. 
Use specialised products for the removal of stubborn 
stains. After cleaning, rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not 
use abrasive powders or corrosive substances.
•  The inside of the oven should ideally be cleaned after 
each use, while it is still lukewarm. Use hot water and 
detergent, then rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Do 
not use abrasive products.
