BEFORE USING THE OVEN
� � To make the most of your new oven, 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.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
1. Packing � The packaging material can be 100% recycled, as confirmed by the recycling symbol ( ). 2. Products � The appliances are built from recyclable materials. If you decide to scrap the appliances please observe local waste disposal by-laws. Cut off the power cords so that the appliances cannot be connected to the mains.

PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
� � Before any maintenance on the oven disconnect it from the electrical power supply. Keep children away from the oven when it is in use and when its has just been switched off. The oven must be repaired or adjusted exclusively by a qualified technician. Make sure that the electrical wires of other electrical appliances near the oven do not come into contact with hot parts and do not become entrapped in the oven 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. Do not place inflammable material in the oven - risk of fire if the oven is inadvertently switches on. 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. � During the cooking process, water evaporates from food. All ovens require this steam and other 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 oven door as described later in this chapter �Cleaning the oven and its accessories�. Bear in mind there may be residual steam inside the oven. Accordingly, great care should be taken when opening the oven door. 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 (15 lbs).
