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, processing and ecologically compatible
disposal contributes to avoiding possible negative effects on the environment
and on health, and promotes recycling of the appliance's constituent materials.
The illicit disposal of the product by the user results in the application of
administrative sanctions.
The product does not contain substances in quantities sufficient to be
considered hazardous to health and the environment, in accordance 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 household 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.

5.2 Using the rotisserie rod (on some models only)
When cooking with the rotisserie,
position the frame on the second runner
(see 6.2.1 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

7. USING THE OVEN
7.1 Before using the appliance
Remove any labels (apart from the technical data plate) from trays, dripping
pans and the cooking compartment.
Remove any protective film from the outside or inside of the appliance, 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”.
Before using the oven and the grill for the first time, pre-heat to maximum
temperature long enough to burn any manufacturing oily residues which could
give the food unpleasant odours.
WARNING: the gas oven must be lit with the oven door open. The oven is
equipped with a safety system that blocks ignition of the burner if the door is
closed. If you make a mistake in the lighting procedure, open the oven door and
wait a few moments before trying to light it again.
7.2 General Description
7.2.1 Oven runners
The oven features 4 runners for positioning
trays and racks at different heights. The insertion
heights are numbered from the bottom upwards
(see figure).
7.2.2 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.

7.2.3 Oven inside lights
The oven lights come on when the door is opened or on selecting function
using the relative knob.
If the oven light fails, replace it as described in “9.2 Replacing the light bulb”.
7.3 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.

Instructions for the user

7.4 Using the gas oven
7.4.1 Electronic spark ignition
Open the oven door fully, press the thermostat knob and turn it counterclockwise
between MIN and MAX; the electric spark ignition is activated automatically.
When the oven is lit, keep the knob pressed down for a few seconds to allow the
thermocouple to heat up. If the burner does not ignite after 15 seconds, stop
attempting to light it, open the oven door completely and do not try to light it
again for at least 1 minute.
7.4.2 Manual ignition
In the event of a power failure, the oven
can be ignited manually. Open the oven
door fully, press and turn the thermostat
knob anticlockwise to between MIN and
MAX; light a long match and put the
flame through the centre front slots on
the bottom of the oven (as indicated in
the figure). Alternatively use an electric
gas lighter with a long spout. After
lighting, keep the knob pressed down
for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up. If the burner does not
ignite after 15 seconds, stop attempting to light it, leave the oven door open and
do not try to light it again for at least 1 minute.
If the burner is extinguished accidentally, turn the knob to the off position (0) and
wait at least one minute before trying to light it again.
