Important Safety Instructions

Before using the appliance, read these safety instructions carefully and keep them nearby for future reference. The manufacturer is not liable for any failure to observe these instructions, improper use, or incorrect setting of controls.

• General Safety: Always observe safety warnings. Keep children and animals away from the appliance, especially during and after pyrolytic cycles. Remove excess spillage, particularly fats and oils, from the oven cavity before initiating a pyrolytic cycle. Do not leave any accessories or materials inside the oven cavity during a pyrolytic cycle. If the oven is installed below a hob, ensure all burners or electric hotplates are switched off during the pyrolytic cycle to prevent burns.
• Child Safety: Very young children (0-3 years) should be kept away from the appliance. Children aged 3-8 years should be kept away unless continuously supervised. Children aged 8 years and above, and persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, can use the appliance only if supervised or instructed on safe use and understand the hazards involved. Children must not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children without supervision.
• Hot Surfaces: The appliance and its accessible parts become hot during use. Take care to avoid touching heating elements. Children under 8 years of age must be kept away unless continuously supervised.
• Probe Usage: If the appliance is suitable for probe usage, only use a temperature probe recommended for this oven to avoid fire risk.
• Unattended Operation: Never leave the appliance unattended during food drying.
• Flammable Materials: Keep clothes or other flammable materials away from the appliance until all components have cooled down completely to prevent fire risk.
• Cooking Hazards: Be vigilant when cooking foods rich in fat, oil, or when adding alcoholic beverages, as this can cause a fire risk. Use oven gloves to remove pans and accessories. When cooking is finished, open the door with caution, allowing hot air or steam to escape gradually before accessing the cavity to prevent burns. Do not obstruct hot air vents at the front of the oven to prevent fire risk. Exercise caution when the oven door is open or in the down position to avoid hitting the door. Food must not be left in or on the product for more than one hour before or after cooking.
• Permitted Use: The appliance is intended for cooking purposes only and not for other uses like room heating. It is designed for household and similar applications. It is not intended for professional use, nor for outdoor use. Do not store explosive or flammable substances (e.g., gasoline or aerosol cans) inside or near the appliance.

Installation

• Installation and handling must be performed by two or more persons to avoid injury. Use protective gloves during unpacking and installation to prevent cuts.
• Installation, water supply (if any), electrical connections, and repairs must be carried out by a qualified technician. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specified in the user manual. Keep children away from the installation site.
• After unpacking, check the appliance for any transport damage. Contact the dealer or nearest After-Sales Service if problems occur. Store packaging waste (plastic, Styrofoam parts, etc.) out of reach of children to prevent suffocation.
• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before any installation operation to avoid electrical shock. Ensure the power cable is not damaged during installation to prevent fire or electrical shock. Activate the appliance only after installation is complete.
• Carry out all cabinet cutting works before fitting the appliance into the furniture and remove all wood chips and sawdust.
• Do not remove the appliance from its polystyrene foam base until the time of installation.
• After installation, the bottom of the appliance must no longer be accessible to prevent burns.
• Do not install the appliance behind a decorative door to prevent fire risk.
• If the appliance is installed under a worktop, do not obstruct the minimum gap between the worktop and the upper edge of the oven to prevent burns.

Electrical Warnings

• The rating plate is located on the front edge of the oven (visible when the door is open).
• The appliance must be disconnectable from the power supply by unplugging the plug (if accessible) or by a multi-pole switch installed upstream of the socket, in accordance with wiring rules. The appliance must be earthed in conformity with national electrical safety standards.
• Do not use extension leads, multiple sockets, or adapters. Electrical components must not be accessible to the user after installation. Do not use the appliance when wet or barefoot. Do not operate if the power cable or plug is damaged, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons to avoid a hazard.
• If the power cable needs replacement, contact an authorized service center.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Ensure the appliance is switched off and disconnected from the power supply before performing any maintenance. Use protective gloves and safety shoes. Handle by two persons. Never use steam cleaning equipment. Non-professional repairs not authorized by the manufacturer can lead to health and safety risks.
• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or metal scrapers on the door glass, as they can scratch the surface and may result in shattering.
• Ensure the appliance has cooled down before cleaning or performing maintenance to prevent burns.
• Switch off the appliance before replacing the lamp to avoid electric shock.

Disposal of Packaging Materials and Household Appliances

• Packaging material is 100% recyclable and marked with the recycle symbol. Dispose of packaging responsibly according to local authority regulations.
• This appliance is manufactured with recyclable or reusable materials. Dispose of it in accordance with local waste disposal regulations. Contact your local authority, waste collection service, or retailer for information on treatment, recovery, and recycling.
• This appliance is marked in compliance with European Directive 2012/19/EU (WEEE) and related regulations. Correct disposal helps prevent negative consequences for the environment and human health. The symbol on the product or documentation indicates it should not be treated as domestic waste but taken to an appropriate collection center for recycling.

Energy Saving Tips

• Preheat the oven only if specified in the cooking table or recipe.
• Use dark lacquered or enamelled baking trays as they absorb heat better.
• Food requiring prolonged cooking will continue to cook even after the oven is switched off.
• Use the standard cycle (PYRO) for cleaning a very dirty oven. Use the energy-saving cycle (PYRO EXPRESS/ECO) if available (consumes approx. 25% less energy). Select it at regular intervals (after cooking meat 2-3 consecutive times).
• Ensure the oven door is closed completely when the appliance is on and keep it closed as much as possible during baking.
• Cut food into small, equally-sized pieces to reduce cooking time and save energy.
• For long cooking times (over 30 minutes), reduce the oven temperature to the lowest setting during the last phase (3-10 minutes), based on the overall cooking time. The residual heat inside the oven will continue cooking the food.
