This is the danger symbol, pertaining to safety, which alerts users to potential risks to themselves and others.
- If the surface of the induction plate is cracked, do not use it and switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock (only for models with induction function). - Do not touch the appliance with any wet part of the body and do not operate it when barefoot. - This appliance is designed solely for use as a domestic appliance for cooking food. No other type of use is permitted (e.g.: heating rooms).
- Do not use containers made of synthetic materials. - Overheated oils and fats catch fire easily. Always remain vigilant when cooking foods rich in fat and oil. - Never leave the appliance unattended during food drying. - If alcoholic beverages are used when cooking foods (e.g. rum, cognac, wine), remember that alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. As a result, there is a risk that vapours released by the alcohol may catch fire upon coming into contact with the electrical heating element.

Remove the accessories from the oven and heat it at 200°C for about an hour to eliminate the smell and fumes from the insulating materials and protective grease.
