    The power supply to which the oven is connected must conform with the laws in force in the country of installation. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any damage caused by the failure to observe these instructions. The oven must be connected to an electrical supply with an earthed wall outlet or a disconnector with multiple poles, depending on the laws in force in the country of installation. The electrical supply should be protected with suitable fuses and the cables used must have a transverse section that can ensure correct supply to the oven.

  • CONNECTION.
    The oven is supplied with a power cable that should only be connected to an electrical supply with 220-240 Vac power between the phases or between the phase and the neutral. Before the oven is connected to the electrical supply, it is important to check power voltage indicated on the gauge and the setting of the disconnector. The grounding wire connected to the oven’s earth terminal must be connected to the earth terminal of the power supply.

  • WARNING. Before connecting the oven to the power supply, ask a qualified electrician to check the continuity of the power supply’s earth terminal. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any accidents or other problems caused by failure to connect the oven to the earth terminal or by an earth connection that has defective continuity.

  • NOTE: as the oven could require maintenance work, it is advisable to keep another wall socket available so that the oven can be connected to this if it is removed from the space in which it is installed. The power cable must only be substituted by technical service staff or by technicians with equivalent qualifications.

USE RECOMMENDATIONS/WARNINGS

  • During runing cooking modes, moisture may condense inside the oven cavity or on the glass of the door. This is a normal condition. To reduce this effect, wait 10-15 minutes after turning on the power before putting food inside the oven. In any case, the condensation disappears when the oven reaches the cooking temperature.
  • Cook the vegetables in a container with a lid instead of an open tray.
  • Avoid leaving food inside the oven after cooking for more than 15/20 minutes.
  • A long power supply failure during an occurring cooking phase may cause a malfunction of the monitor. In this case contact customer service.
  • When you place the shelf inside, make sure that the stop is directed upwards and in the back of the cavity. The shelf must be inserted completely into the cavity.

Environmental protection and disposal

SAVING AND RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
Where possible, avoid preheating the oven and always try to fill it. Open the oven door as infrequently as possible, because heat from the cavity disperses every time it is opened. For a significant energy saving, switch off the oven between 5 and 10 minutes before the planned end of the cooking time, and use the residual heat that the oven continues to generate. Keep the seals clean and in order, to avoid any heat dispersal outside of the cavity. If you have an electric contract with an hourly tariff, the “delayed cooking” programme makes energy saving more simple, moving the cooking process to start at the reduced tariff time slot.

WASTE MANAGEMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

  • This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU regarding electric and electronic appliances (WEEE). The WEEE contain both polluting substances (that can have a negative effect on the environment) and base elements (that can be reused).
  • It is important that the WEEE undergo specific treatments to correctly remove and dispose of the pollutants and recover all the materials. Individuals can play an important role in ensuring that the WEEE do not become an environmental problem; it is essential to follow a few basic rules:
    • The WEEE should not be treated as domestic waste;
    • The WEEE should be taken to dedicated collection areas managed by the town council or a registered company.
  • In many countries, domestic collections may be available for large WEEEs.
