compliance with international safety standards.
The following warnings are provided for safety reasons and must
be read carefully.

General safety

• These instructions are only valid for the countries whose
symbols appear in the manual and on the serial number
plate located on the appliance.
• 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.
• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet 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 outlined 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 liable for any damage resulting from
improper, incorrect and unreasonable use of the
appliance.
• The instruction booklet accompanies a class 1 (insulated)
or class 2 - subclass 1 (recessed between 2 cupboards)
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 openings used for the ventilation and dispersion of
heat must never be covered.
• Do not use unstable or misshapen pans on the cooking
zones; this will help to avoid accidental spills. Make sure
pan handles are turned towards the centre of the hob in
order to avoid accidental burns.
• Always use oven gloves when placing cookware in the
oven or when removing it.
• Do not use flammable liquids (alcohol, petrol, etc...) near
the appliance while it is in use.
• Do not place flammable material in the lower storage
compartment or in the oven itself. If the appliance is
switched on accidentally, it could catch fire.
• Always make sure the knobs are in the • position when the
appliance is not in use.
• When unplugging the appliance, always pull the plug from
the mains socket; do not pull on the cable.
• Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work without
having disconnected the appliance from the electricity
mains.
• If the appliance breaks down, under no circumstances
should you attempt to perform the repairs yourself.

Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause
injury or further malfunctioning of the appliance. Contact
Assistance.
• Do not rest heavy objects on the open oven door.
• The internal surfaces of the compartment (where present)
may become hot.
• The glass ceramic hob is resistant to mechanical shocks,
but it may crack (or even break) if hit with a sharp object
such as a tool. If this happens, disconnect the appliance
from the electricity mains immediately and contact a
Service Centre.
• If the surface of the hob is cracked, switch off the
appliance to prevent electric shocks from occurring.
• Remember that the cooking zones remain relatively hot for
at least thirty minutes after they have been switched off.
• Keep any object which could melt away from the hob, for
example plastic and aluminium objects, or products with
a high sugar content. Be especially careful when using
plastic film and aluminium foil or packaging: if placed on
surfaces that are still hot, they may cause serious damage
to the hob.
• Do not place metal objects (knives, spoons, pan lids, etc.)
on the hob as they may become hot.
• 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.
• Do not let children play with the appliance.
Disposal
• When disposing of packaging material: observe local
legislation so that the packaging may be reused.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that
household appliances should not be disposed of using
the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances
should be collected separately in order to optimise
the cost of re-using and recycling the materials inside
the machine, while preventing potential damage to the
atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-out dustbin
is marked on all products to remind the owner of their
obligations regarding separated waste collection.
For further information relating to the correct disposal of
exhausted household appliances, owners may contact the
public service provided or their local dealer.

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.
