Recommendations
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the oven from the mains before carrying out any installation work
or servicing.
•Installation must be carried out by a qualified technician in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions and in compliance with local regulations.
•Unpack the oven and make sure that the oven has not been damaged during transport and that the
oven door closes properly. If you are not sure contact the dealer or the nearest service centre.
•After removing the oven from its packaging, leave it on the polystyrene base to prevent it from being
damaged.
•When installing the oven it is advisable to wear protective gloves.
•The oven is provided with two side handles (B) to facilitate installation (fig. 7).
Preparing the housing unit
•Kitchen units in contact with the oven must be heat resistant (80°C min).
•Cut the kitchen unit and worktop to fit before installing the oven. Carefully remove any shavings or
sawdust that could prevent the oven from running properly.
•The dimensions of the housing units in which the oven can be installed are shown in figures 1, 2 and 3.
The dimensions of the oven are shown in figure 4.
•To allow for proper ventilation, an opening should be left at the bottom of the housing unit. Pay
attention to the dimensions. The bottom of the oven must not be accessible after installation.
•During installation make sure that the sides of the oven do not touch the adjacent units.

89
•Residual condensation after cooking could damage
the oven and surrounding kitchen units in time.
We recommend that you:
- set the lowest temperature;
- cover food;
- remove food from the oven;
- dry the wet parts when the oven is cool.
•The front panel and the handle of the oven door
warm up when the appliance is switched on for a
long time at high temperatures.
•Never touch the oven with any wet part of the
body and do not operate it with bare feet.
•Do not pull the appliance or the power supply
cable to disconnect them from the electrical
supply.
•Do not allow children to touch:
- the oven and its controls, especially when in
operation and immediately afterwards to
avoid injury;
- packaging (bags, polystyrene, metal parts,
etc.);
- an oven to be scrapped.
•Make sure that the electrical cables of other
appliances used near the oven do not touch hot
parts and are not trapped in the oven door.
•Some oven models are equipped with an air
cooling system to prevent the front of the oven
and cabinet cavity from reaching excessively high
temperatures.
Attention: Steam and smoke are vented through
an opening located between the control panel and
the oven door. Do not obstruct the vent opening.
•Do not place inflammable material in the oven or
nearby: a fire may break out if the oven is
inadvertently switched on.
•Use oven gloves to remove pans and accessories,
when the oven is hot.
•If alcoholic beverages are added when roasting or
cooking cakes and sweets (e.g. rum, cognac,
wine, etc.) remember that alcohol evaporates at
high temperatures. It may happen that vapours
released by the alcohol can catch fire when they
are in contact with the electric heating element.
•Do not heat or cook sealed jars or containers in
the oven. The pressure that develops inside the
packaging might cause it to explode, damaging
the oven.
•Do not use containers made of synthetic material
for cooking (except for packages specifically
designed for this purpose; see the manufacturer's
instructions). They could melt at high
temperatures.
•Always keep a watch on pans when cooking with
oil and grease. Oil and fat can overheat and catch
fire!
•Never pull out fully loaded shelves. Use extreme
caution.

for the rating plate;
- cardboard protection and protective plastic
film from the front panel controls and other
parts of the oven;
