must be carried out by qualified personnel in accordance with the standards in force. This
appliance is intended for domestic use and conforms to the EC directives currently in
force. The appliance has been built to carry out the following functions: cooking and
heating up food; all other uses are considered unsuitable.
These instructions are valid only for the destination countries whose identifying symbols

Never obstruct the openings and slots provided for ventilation and heat dispersal; this may
cause malfunctions.
Do not use this appliance for heating rooms.
This appliance is marked according to European directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
This directive defines the standards for the collection and recycling of waste electrical and
electronic equipment applicable throughout the European union.
The identification plate with technical data, serial number and brand name is located in an
exposed position either in the drawer (where present) or on the back of the appliance. A
copy of the identification plate is included in the booklet. It should be applied to the
appropriate space on the back of the cover. Do not remove this plate for any reason.
Before the appliance is put into operation, all labels and protective films applied on

2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Consult the installation instructions for safety standards on electrical or gas appliances
and for ventilation functions. In your interests and for your safety the law requires that the
installation and servicing of all electrical and gas appliances be carried out by qualified
personnel in accordance with the standards in force. Our approved installers guarantee a
satisfactory job.
Gas or electrical appliances must always be uninstalled by suitably skilled people.
Before connecting the appliance to the power grid, check the data on the plate against the
data for the grid itself.
If the appliance is installed on a raised platform, secure it using suitable fastening
systems.
Before carrying out installation/maintenance work, make sure that the appliance is
disconnected from the power grid.
If cooking appliances are installed in motor vehicles (for example, camper vans, caravans
etc.), they must only be used when the vehicle is stationary.
Install the appliance so that when opening the drawers or doors of units positioned at the
level of the hob there is no possibility of making contact with pans positioned on top of it.
The plug to be connected to the power supply cable and its socket must be of the same
type and conform to the standards in force. The socket must be accessible after the
appliance has been installed.
Never disconnect the plug by pulling on the cable.
If the power supply cable is damaged, contact the technical assistance centre immediately
and they will replace it.
The appliance must be connected to earth in compliance with electrical system safety
standards.
During use the appliance and its accessible parts become very hot. Take care never to
touch the heating elements. Keep children younger than 8 away from the appliance,

3. ENVIRONMENTAL CARE
3.1 Our environmental care
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 working 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 selective 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. Illicit disposal of the product by the user will lead to 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 care
Our product's packaging is made of non-polluting materials, 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.
