3. ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
3.1 Our environmental responsibility
Pursuant to Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and 2003/108/EC relating to
the reduction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic
appliances, as well as to the disposal of refuse. The crossed out bin symbol on
the appliance indicates that the product, at the end of its useful life, must be
collected separately from other refuse. Therefore, the user must consign the
product that has reached the end of its working life to the appropriate selective
collection centres for electrical and electronic refuse, or deliver it back to the
retailer when purchasing an equivalent product, on a one for one basis.
Adequate differentiated collection for the subsequent forwarding of the
decommissioned product to recycling, treatment and ecologically compatible
disposal contributes to avoiding possible negative effects on the environment
and on health and promotes the recycling of the materials of which the
appliance consists. The illicit disposal of the product by the user results in the
application of administrative sanctions.
The product does not contain substances in quantities that may be considered a
danger to health or the environment, in compliance with current European
directives.
3.2 Your environmental responsibility
Our product's packing is made of non-polluting materials, therefore compatible
with the environment and recyclable. Please help by disposing of the packing
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.

5.1 Using the rack
The racks are equipped with a
mechanical safety lock which prevents
them from being taken out accidentally.
To insert the rack correctly, check that
the lock is facing downwards (as shown
in the figure below).
To take it out, lift the front edge of the
rack slightly while sliding it out on the
side runners.
The mechanical lock (or the skirt where present) must always face the
back of the oven.
Insert racks and trays fully into the oven until they come to a stop.
5.2 Using the support rack
The support rack is inserted into the
tray (as shown in the figure).
Using this, foods can be cooked and
the fat can be collected separately from
the food which is being cooked.

Instructions for the user
65
5.3 Using the rotisserie rod (on some models only)
When cooking with the rotisserie, position the
frame on the third runner (see 8.2.1 Oven
runners). Once the frame is inserted, the
shaped part must sit facing outwards (as shown
in the figure).
Then prepare the rotisserie rod with the food,
using the clip forks provided.
So that you can handle the rod with the food on
it readily, screw on the handle provided.
Having prepared the rotisserie rod with the
food, position it on the guide frame as shown in
the figure.
Insert the rod into the hole (detail B) so that it
connects with the rotisserie motor.
Make sure that the pin is placed correctly on
the guide frame (detail A).

Instructions for the user
66
5.4 Using the pizza plate (on some models only)
With the oven cold, remove the circular
cover from the bottom (as shown in the
figure) and insert the pizza plate. Make
sure that the plate is inserted correctly in
the recess provided.
For cooking use the special pizza
function .
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.
5.5 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.
