order to prevent the hazard of an electric shock.
Never pour water directly on the bottom of the oven cavity.
Temperature differences could result in damage to the enamel
coating.
Other important safety warnings
The appliance is intended for household use. Do not use it for any other purpose, such as room heating,
drying of pets or other animals, paper, fabrics, herbs etc. As this may lead to injury or fire hazard.
Appliance must be connected to fixed wiring which has incorporated means of disconnection. Fixed
wiring must be made in accordance with the wiring rules.
We recommend that (due to appliance weight) at least two persons carry and install the appliance.
Do not lift the appliance by holding it by the door handle.
Oven door hinges may be damaged when under excessive load. Do not stand or sit on the open oven
door, and do not lean against it. Also, do not place any heavy objects onto the oven door.
5

If the power cords of other appliances placed near this appliance get entangled in the oven door, they
can be damaged, which in turn can result in a short circuit. Therefore, make sure the power cords of
other appliances are always at a safe distance.
Make sure the vents are never covered or obstructed in any other way.
Do not line the oven cavity with aluminium foil, and do not place any baking trays or other cookware
on the oven bottom. This would obstruct and reduce air circulation in the oven, slow down the baking
process, and destroy the enamel coating.
We recommend you avoid opening the oven door during baking, as this increases power consumption
and increases condensate accumulation.
At the end of the baking process, and during baking, be careful when opening the oven door, as there
is danger of scalding.
To prevent limescale accumulation, leave the oven door open after baking or using the oven, to allow
the oven cavity to cool down to room temperature.
Clean the oven when it has completely cooled down.
Eventual mismatches in colour shades between different appliances or components within a single
design line may occur due to various factors, such as different angles under which the appliances are
observed, different coloured backgrounds, materials, and room illumination.
Do not use the appliance if it is damaged. Unplug the appliance from the power mains and call an
authorized service centre.
The oven can be safely used with or without baking pan guides.
Do not store items in the oven, which could cause danger when the oven is switched on.
The deviation of the daily time display on the screen does not affect the functionality of the appliance
and may be due to fluctuations in the frequency of the electrical network.
Before connecting the appliance to the power mains, leave it at room temperature for some time to
allow all components to adapt to room temperature. If the oven was stored at a temperature close to
freezing point or below it, this could be hazardous to some components, particularly the pump.
Do not operate the appliance in an environment colder than 5 °C. If the appliance is switched on in
such conditions, the pump could be damaged.
Do not use distilled water, tap water with high chlorine content, or other similar liquids.
When baking with steam injection, always fully open the oven door when the baking process is
completed. If you do not do so, the steam rising from the oven cavity could affect the operation of
the control unit.
Only remove and replace the evaporating tray when the oven has completely cooled down.
WARNING!
Carefully read the instructions for use before connecting the appliance. Repair or any
warranty claim resulting from incorrect connection or use of the appliance shall not be
covered by the warranty.

Appliance equipment
Guides
•The guides allow cooking or baking on 5 rack levels.
•The height levels of guides into which the racks can be inserted shall be counted from bottom up.
•Guide levels 4 and 5 are intended for grilling/broiling.
•When inserting equipment, it should be correctly rotated.
Wire guides
In case of wire guides, always insert the wire
rack and the baking tray into the slot between
the upper and lower part of each guide level.
Fixed pull-out guides
(depending on the model)
Pull-out guides may be fitted for the 2nd and
4th level.
In case of fixed pull-out guides, place the rack
or baking tray onto the guide. You can place
the wire rack directly onto a baking tray (shallow
or deep all-purpose baking tray) and place both
onto the same guide; in this case, the baking
tray acts as a drip tray.
