ENERGY LABELLING/ECODESIGN
• Commission delegated regulation (EU) No 65/2014 (supplementing Directive 2010/30/EU
of the European Parliament and of the Council).
• Commission regulation (EU) No 66/2014 (implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the
European Parliament and of the Council).
Reference to the measurement and calculation methods used to establish compliance with
the above requirements:
• Standard EN 60350-1 (electric ovens).
• Standard EN30-2-1 (hobs: gas red burners).
USE OF THE APPLIANCE, ENERGY SAVING TIPS
OVEN
• Check the oven door always closes properly and the door gasket is clean and in order.
During use, open the oven door only when strictly necessary to avoid heat losses (for
some functions it may be necessary to use the oven with the door half-closed, check
the oven operating instructions).
• Turn off the oven 5-10 minutes before the end of the theoretical cooking time to
recuperate the stored heat.
• We recommend using oven proof dishes and adjusting the oven temperature during
cooking if necessary.
HOB
GAS FIRED BURNERS
• It is important that the diameter of the pot be suitable to the size of the burner so as
not to compromise the high output of the burners and therefore energy waste. A small
pot on a large burner does not give you a boiling point in a shorter amount of time
since the capacity of heat absorption of a liquid mass depends on the volume and the
surface of the pot.
• Avoid keeping a burner on without something on it (without pot).

Notes:
• The electric ignition is incorporated in the knobs.
• The appliance has a safety valve system tted, the ow of gas will be stopped if and
when the ame should accidentally go out.
CAUTION:
If the burner is accidentally extinguished, turn the gas off at the control knob and wait at
least 1 minute before attempting to relight.
CAUTION:
Gas hobs produce heat and humidity in the environment in which they are installed.
Ensure that the cooking area is well ventilated by opening the natural ventilation grilles or
by installing an extractor hood connected to an outlet duct that vents to the outside.
CAUTION:
If the hob is used for a prolonged time it may be necessary to provide further ventilation
by opening a window or by increasing the suction power of the extractor hood if tted and
vented to the outside.

Please note: This appliance incorporates a safety cooling fan which you will hear operating
whenever the oven or grill is being used.
The cooling fan may even run on after the appliance has been switched off.
The duration of this time is dependent on several factors, including previous cooking
temperature, duration and ambient temperature. Times in excess of 30 minutes are not
uncommon.
