of heat must never be covered.
• 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 and
that the gas tap is closed when the appliance is not

necessary precautions to prevent the same from
sliding off the pedestal itself.
• Do not let children play with the appliance.
• The appliance must be used by adults only for
the preparation of food, in accordance with the

necessary precautions to prevent the cooker from
sliding off the pedestal itself.
! The internal surfaces of the compartment (where
present) may become hot.
Disposal
• When disposing of packaging material: observe local
legislation so that the packaging may be reused.
• The European Directive 2002/96/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.

environment
• Whenever possible, avoid pre-heating the oven
and always try to fill it. Open the oven door as little
as possible because heat is lost every time it is
opened. To save a substantial amount of energy,
simply switch off the oven 5 to 10 minutes before the
end of your planned cooking time and use the heat
the oven continues to generate.
• Keep gaskets clean and tidy to prevent any door
energy losses
• If you have a timed tariff electricity contract, the “delay
cooking” option will make it easier to save money by
moving operation to cheaper time periods.
• The base of your pot or pan should cover the hot plate.
If it is smaller, precious energy will be wasted and
pots that boil over leave encrusted remains that can
be difficult to remove.
