PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL SUGGESTIONS
� Before any operation, switch off the electricity to the oven. � Keep children away from the oven when it is in use and when its has just been switched off. � Any repair or operation on the oven must only be performed by a qualified engineer. � 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. � Do not lean or sit on the open oven door. Do not hang anything heavy on the handle of the open oven door. � Use oven gloves to remove pans and accessories, when the oven is hot. � Do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium foil. � Do not leave any flammable material in the oven. If the appliance is switched on by mistake, it could catch fire. � During the cooking process water evaporates as steam from the food. All ovens require this steam, and other fumes, to be vented from the oven cavity. For reasons of safety and appearance, it was determined that the bottom of the door is the optimum position. Consequently vapour may be seen coming from this area on occasion (see picture). This is a normal occurrence and the bottom trim can be cleaned. � Do not rest heavy weights on the door because these could damage the oven cavity and the hinges. Maximum weight: 7 Kg.
