3. ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
Our product's packing is made of non-polluting materials, which are therefore
compatible with the environment and recyclable. Please help by disposing of the
packaging correctly. You can obtain the addresses of collection, recycling and
disposal centres from your retailer or from the competent local organisations.
Do not discard the packaging or any part of it, or leave it unattended. It can
constitute a suffocation hazard for children, especially the plastic bags.
Your old appliance also needs to be disposed of correctly.
Important: hand over your appliance to the local agency authorised for the
collection of electrical appliances no longer in use. Correct disposal enables
intelligent recovery of valuable materials.
Before disposing of your appliance it is important to remove doors and leave
shelves in the same position as for use, to ensure that children cannot
accidentally become trapped inside during play. It is also necessary to cut the
connecting cable to the power grid, removing it along with the plug.

them from being taken out accidentally. To insert the rack or tray correctly, check
that the lock is facing downwards (as shown in the illustration on the right).
To remove the rack or tray, lift the front slightly.
The mechanical lock must always face the back of the oven.

Ovens with frames Ovens with runners
Do not use the pizza plate other than as described, for example do not use it on
gas or glass-ceramic hobs or in ovens which are not designed for this purpose.
If you wish to add oil to your pizza, it is best to add it after removing it from the
oven since oil stains on the pizza plate are unsightly and may reduce its
efficiency.
In models where it is provided, if the pizza plate is not in use, cover the bottom
of the oven with the cover provided.

Instructions for the user

5.6 Using the pizza spatula (on some models only)
Always grip the pizza spatula on the wooden handle to put food in and take it out
of the oven.
You are advised to dust the steel surface lightly with flour to make it easier to
slide fresh products on and off, as they could stick to the steel due to their
moisture content.

including from accessories such as trays, dripping pans, the pizza plate or
the base cover.
• Before using the appliance for the first time, remove all accessories from the
oven compartment and wash them as indicated in “8. CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE”.

6.2.2 Cooling system
The appliance is equipped with a cooling system
which comes into operation as soon as a cooking
function starts. The fan causes a steady outflow of
air from above the door which may continue for a
brief period of time even after the oven has been
turned off.
6.2.3 Oven inside lights

6.3 Warnings and general advice for usage
All cooking operations must be carried out with the door closed.
During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil
and do not place pans or oven trays on it as this may damage the enamel
coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it will not interfere
with the hot air circulation inside the oven.
For the best cooking results, we recommend
placing cookware in the centre of the rack.
To prevent any steam in the oven from causing
problems, open the door in two stages: half
open (5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then
fully open. If you need to access the food,
always leave the door open for as short a time
as possible to prevent the temperature in the
oven from falling and ruining the food.
To prevent excessive amounts of condensation from forming on the internal
glass, hot food should not be left inside the oven for too long after cooking.
