BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCES
� � � To make the most of your new appliances, read the users instructions carefully and keep them on hand for consultation in the future. Remove the cardboard protections and the protective plastic film. Remove the accessories from the oven and heat it 200° C for about an hour to eliminate the smell of protective grease and insulating materials. Keep the window open during this procedure. N.B: The cooling fan runs continuously at two different speeds according to the temperature value of the components when the appliances are in use. Full speed: for high temperature of the components. Half speed pulsing: for low temperature of the components. The pulsing speed has to be considered a normal appliance condition at half speed. The fan may continue to run for the time necessary to ensure sufficient cooling of the components and adjacent kitchen units after the appliance has been switched off.

PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Before any maintenance on the appliances disconnect them from the electrical power supply. � Keep children away from the appliances when they are in use. � The appliances must be repaired or adjusted exclusively by a qualified technician. � Make sure that the electrical wires of other electrical appliances near the cooktop or the oven do not come into contact with hot parts and do not become trapped in the oven door. � The oven is equipped with air cooling system to prevent excessive temperatures of the oven front and furniture housing. Following cooking times greater than one hour at temperatures of 200° C or more, it is recommended that residual heat from the oven and housing be removed by use of a cool down period. At completion of cooking, leave the oven on, in any cooking function but grill with the �temperature knob� on �0� position, for about 15 minutes. The oven door must remain closed during the cool down period. Oven � Never stand or sit on the oven open door. Never hang any weight at the handle of the oven open door. � Use oven gloves to remove baking trays and accessories when the oven is hot. � Do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium foil. �

fumes to be vented from the oven cavity. For reasons of safety and aesthetics, we have determined that an opening at the bottom of the door is the optimum solution. Consequently, vapour may be seen to be coming from this area on occasions (see picture). This is a normal occurrence and the bottom trim can be cleaned after removal of the door as described on �Cleaning the oven and accessories�. Heavy weights must not be placed on the open door as this may result in damage to the cavity and hinges. Max weight: 7 kg (15lbs). 55
