Electrical Safety
•The oven is supplied with a H05RR-F, H05SS-F or
H07RN-F supply cord for connection to the power supply.
• The oven should always have a good earth connection in
line with current regulations.
• Total disconnection from the mains installation must be
incorporated when installing the oven, as specified in the
installation regulations, (suitable for the heat intensity to be
withstood and with a minimum space between contacts of
3 mm) following category III conditions for surges, for
disconnection in case of emergency, for cleaning or for
changing the light bulb. Under no circumstances should the
earth wire pass through this switch.
• This switch may be replaced by a plug, provided it is
accessible for normal use.
•If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard. The connection
diagram is shown in figure 23.
• Any handling or repair to the appliance, including
replacement of the power cable, should be carried out by

Before First Use
There may be traces of grease and other sub-
stances in the oven as a result of its manufac-
turing process. These should be removed by
means of the following procedure:
• Remove all of the packaging from your oven,
including the protective plastic, if any.
• Turn the oven to setting , or else place it
on the defect settingt , at 200ºC, for 1
hour. Consult the Quick Start Guide accom-
panying this manual on how to do this.
• Cool the oven with the door open so that it
ventilates and no odours remain inside it.
• Once cold, clean the oven and accessories.
During this first operation, smoke and smells
will be produced. The kitchen should therefore
be well ventilated.
Environmentally Friendly
Packaging
The packaging is made from totally recyclable
materials which can be put to other uses.
Consult your local council regarding the neces-
sary procedures for disposing of these materi-
als.
CAUTION
The symbol on the product or packaging
indicates that this appliance cannot be dis-
posed of as normal household waste. It should
be taken to an electrical and electronic equip-
ment collection point for recycling. In this way,
any negative consequences for the environment
and public health from incorrect handling can
be avoided. Contact your local council, house-
hold waste disposal service or the establish-
ment you bought the product from for more
information on recycling the appliance.
• The oven must always be operated with the
door closed.
• The manufacturer takes no responsibility for
any use of the oven other than for the home
preparation of food.
• Do not store oil, fats or inflammable materials
inside the oven. This may be dangerous if the
oven is turned on.
• Do not lean or sit on the open oven door. You
could damage it, as well as endanger your
own safety.
• Do not cover the bottom of the oven with alu-
minium foil as this may affect cooking per-
formance and damage the enamel inside the
oven and the interior of your kitchen unit.
