Improper repair work can cause serious accidents, damage the appliance and equipment as
well as impair proper operation.
In case of a failure in operation or an indispensable repair job, ask for the intervention of the
customer technical service centre.
If the oven shows visible signs of damage, do not use it.
Unplug it and contact the assistance service.
The oven must be unplugged as soon as an operating problem is discovered.
Make sure the power cord of the appliance is not crushed by the oven door as this may
damage the electrical insulation.
If the power cord has been damaged, it must be replaced by the technical service centre in
order to avoid the creation of hazardous situations.
Before closing the oven door, make sure there are no foreign bodies or pets inside the oven.
Do not place heat-sensitive or flammable materials in the oven such as detergents, oven
sprays, and so on.
The oven gets extremely hot during operation.
The oven remains hot for a long time, even after it has been turned off, and cools off very
slowly until reaching room temperature. Wait for a suitable period of time before carrying
out any work such as cleaning.
When opening the oven door, steam and water droplets may come out.
If the oven contains steam, it is not advisable to insert the hands.
Superheated grease and oil may easily catch fire.
Never use water in an attempt to extinguish burning grease or oil (there is the danger of
explosion). Suffocate the fire with wet cloths.
The rack, the plates and the cooking containers become extremely hot.
Use insulated glove or pot holders.
When using and maintaining the oven, be careful not to get fingers caught in the door hinges
to avoid crushing or other injuries.
This is specially important when children are around.
Leave the door open only in an ajar position.
If the door is open there is the hazard of tripping or crushing the fingers.
Do not sit or lean on the door and do not use it as a work surface.
