• Remove any packaging material from inside

the oven.

• Packaging (plastic bags, polystyrene parts,

etc.) must be stored out of reach of children

as they are potentially hazardous.

The package is recyclable and is marked with

the recycling symbol .

• Place the appliance on a fully horizontal

surface in order to achieve easy and correct

cooking. The table top should be heat-proof

and the furniture in contact with the oven

must be heat-resistant (80°C).

• Do not obstruct any ventilation grid.

For sufficient ventilation there must be a

space of at least 750 mm above the oven and

100 mm on each side.

• For the connection of the oven you will need

a 230 V supply socket protected with a 16A

fuse, and provided with a suitable ground

contact.

• In case you should need an extension cable

it must be 3 x 2,5 mm² at least and the

continuity of its ground connector must be

checked. If the indication lamps show a slight

twinkling light when the switches are in

position “0” then inverse the plug in the

socket.

• Don’t cut the plug from the supply cord. This

cooker was not designed for a permanent

connection with the mains supply. For safety

reasons, we recommend you remove the

plug from the wall socket if the appliance

remains unused for a long time (e.g.:

holidays).

• The appliance is built with reusable

materials. When scrapping follow the local

environmental-protecting regulations.

Render the oven inoperative. Cut the power

cable off.

Prior to connecting, check that the voltage on

the rating plate corresponds to the voltage in

your home.

The earthing of this appliance is compulsory

by law. The manufacturer will accept no

responsibility for injury to persons or damage to

objects arising from the non-observance of this

requirement.

• Only use the mini cooker for domestic use

and for its cooking purposes.

• Do not use the mini cooker to dry paper, cloth

or other inflammable materials.

• Do not leave the oven unattended, especially

when using paper, plastic or other

combustible materials in the cooking

process.

• Never lean on the door or allow a child to

swing on it when the door is opened.

Injury could result.

• Containers used in mini cooker can become

very hot. Please use caution.

• If non cooking related smoke is observed,

keep the oven door closed, and switch the

oven off or disconnect the oven from the

power supply.

• For best performance clean the oven

regularly especially the base.

Warning

• Only allow children to use the oven without

supervision when adequate instructions have

been given so that the child is able to use the

oven in a safe way and understand the

hazards of improper use.

• Some touchable parts of the appliance can

get very hot during operation Keep children

away from it as long as it is hot.

Before using for the first time

1. Operate the oven at 200°C without any food

in it, in a ventilated place for 30 minutes, you

will notice a peculiar smell. This is caused by

the isolating material and will soon cease.

2. Let the heat plates operate on position 3

without any utensil on them for about

3 minutes. In this way the protective fat layer

on the heat plates will be burned off, which

will result in longer life of the plate.

Hotplates operation

The hotplates are controlled by means of the

corresponding knobs. The hotplate operation

control lamp (4) on top of the control panel warns

you that at least one of the hotplates is turned on.

Always use thick-based, flat utensils, which are

specially designed for electric hobs and have a

diameter at least equal to that of the hotplate.

Never use utensils with a concave or rounded

base.

To save energy always use lids.

Do not leave any wet or damp lids on the

hotplate.

Attention:

The hotplate diameter 145 mm (2) can

operate continuously only when the oven is

not operating. When the oven switches on this

hotplate automatically switches off even if the

hotplate operation control lamp (4) will be lit.

The hotplate will restart operating when the oven

reaches the set temperature, i.e. when the oven

control lamp goes out.
