BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCES

• To make the most of your new appliances, read the users instructions carefully and keep them on hand for consultation in the future.
- Remove the cardboard protections and the protective plastic film.

- Remove the accessories from the oven and heat it 200^ for about an hour to eliminate the smell of protective grease and insulating materials. Keep the window open during this procedure.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

1. Packing

• The packaging material can be 100% recycled, as confirmed by the recycling symbol ( ).

2. Products

- The appliances are built from recyclable materials. If you decide to scrap the appliances please observe local waste disposal by-laws. Cut off the power cords so that the appliances cannot be connected to the mains.

PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

• Before any maintenance on the appliances disconnect them from the electrical power supply.
• Keep children away from the oven when it is in use and when its has just been switched off.
• The appliances must be repaired or adjusted only by a qualified technician.
• Make sure that the electrical wires of other electrical appliances near the cooktop or the oven do not come into contact with hot parts and do not become entrapped in the oven door.
• The oven is equipped with air cooling system to prevent excessive temperatures of the oven front and furniture housing. Following cooking times greater than one hour at temperatures of 200°C or more, it is recommended that residual heat from the oven and housing be removed by use of a cool down period. At completion of cooking, leave the oven on, in any cooking function but grill with the “temperature knob” on “0” position, for about 15 minutes. The oven door must remain closed during the cool down period.

Oven

• Never stand or sit on the oven open door. Never hang any weight at the handle of the oven open door.
• Use oven gloves to remove baking trays and accessories when the oven is hot.
• Do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium foil.
• Do not place inflammable material in the oven - risk of fire if the oven is inadvertently switched on.
• During the cooking process, water evaporates from food. All ovens require this steam and other fumes to be vented from the oven cavity. For reasons of safety and aesthetics, we have determined that an opening at the bottom of the door is the optimum solution. Consequently, vapour may be seen to be coming from this area on occasions (see picture). This is a normal

occurrence and the bottom trim can be cleaned after removal of the door as described on "Cleaning the oven and accessories". Bear in mind there may be residual steam inside the oven. Accordingly, great care should be taken when opening the oven door.

- Heavy weights must not be placed on the open door as this may result in damage to the cavity and hinges. Max weight: 7 kg (15 lbs).

N.B: The cooling fan runs continuously at two different speeds according to the temperature value of the components when the appliances are in use.

Full speed: for high temperature of the components.

Half speed pulsing: for low temperature of the components.

The pulsing speed has to be considered a normal appliance condition at half speed. The fan may continue to run for the time necessary to ensure sufficient cooling of the components and adjacent kitchen units after the appliance has been switched off.

PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Conventional electric/glass-ceramic cooktop

• Do not switch on the hotplates/cooking zones when there is no pan in position.
• The cooktop features different size hotplates/cooking zones. Use pans whose base diameter is the same as or slightly larger than the diameter of the hotplate/cooking zone.
  • To avoid permanently damaging the glass-ceramic top, do not use:
• Pots with bottoms that are not perfectly flat.
• Metal pots with enamelled bottom.
• Do not use the cooktop as a worksurface or a support surface.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended when frying food - risk of fire.

Specific recommendations for glass-ceramic cooktops

• With the fast boiling function, only use stainless steel pans with double layer bottoms.
• If the glass ceramic surface should break or crack due to violent impact (falling objects, etc.) do not use it and call After Sales Service immediately.
• Do not place food wrapped in aluminium foil, plastic containers or cloths on the hot cooking zones.
• Do not drag pans across the glass-ceramic surface - risk of scratches.
• If your hob is provided with halogen lamps, we recommend that you do not stare at them during the operation.
• Avoid spilling sugar and similar substances on the cooktop. If necessary, clean the cooktop carefully following the care and maintenance instructions in this handbook.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

• Use pots and pans whose bottom diameter is equal to that of the cooking zone or slightly larger.
  • Only use flat-bottomed pots and pans.
  • If possible, keep the pot covered when cooking.
  • Cook vegetables, potatoes, etc. with little water in order to cut down cooking time.
• A pressure cooker allows you to save even more energy and time.

NO! OK!
