Safety information	3

Read carefully and keep for future use!

Electrical safety

•This appliance must only be connected by a qualified installation engineer .

•In the event of a fault or damage to the appliance: Take the fuses out or switch off.

•Should the door seal and the door seal surfaces be damaged, the appliance must not be operated until they are repaired.

• Repairs to the appliance must only be carried out by qualified service engineers . Considerable danger may result from improper repairs. If repairs become necessary, please contact our Customer Care Department or your dealer.

Children's safety

•Small children must be kept away from the appliance. Make sure that children do not touch the appliance when playing.

•Always heat baby food in jars or bottles with the lid or top off. After heating, stir or shake well, so that the heat is equally distributed. Before you give the baby food to the child, please be sure to test the temperature.

•When operating the grill (alone or in combination with the microwave) the viewing window becomes hot. Therefore keep small children away from the door of the appliance.

•Never leave children unsupervised while the appliance is operating.

•This appliance is fitted with a child safety device.

Safety during use

•This appliance should be used only for normal domestic cooking, roasting and baking of food.

•Be careful if connecting electrical appliances to sockets near to this appliance. Electrical leads must not be caught under the hot oven door.

•Warning: Risk of burns! The interior surfaces of the oven become very hot during use.

•If you use ingredients containing alcohol in the oven, a slightly flammable mixture of alcohol and air may ensue. In this case, be careful when opening the door. Do not handle any sources of heat, sparks or naked flames when doing so.

•People (including children), who, because of their physical, sensory or mental capabilities or their inexperience or ignorance, are not able to use the appliance safely, should not use this appliance without supervision by or instruction from a responsible person.

Information on acrylamides

According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of food, especially in products containing starch, can constitute a health risk due to acrylamides. Therefore we recommend cooking at the lowest possible temperatures and not browning foods too much.

Microwave

•Only switch the appliance on when there is food inside it. With no food in it, the appliance could be overloaded.

•Only use microwave safe cookware (see section Uses, Tables and Tips: Suitable cookware and materials).

•To protect the interior or the door of the appliance from corrosion through escaping steam (condensed water), please dry the appliance thoroughly with a cloth after each use.

4Safety information

•Do not leave the appliance unattended, if food is being heated or cooked in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other flammable materials.

•If smoke appears, keep the appliance closed. Switch off the appliance and disconnect from the power supply. Do not use the appliance under any circumstances, if it is no

longer working correctly.

•When heating liquids always put a coffee spoon or a glass rod in the container to avoid boiling delay. With boiling delay the boiling temperature is reached without the typical steam bubbles rising.

If the container is shaken even slightly the liquid can suddenly boil over or spray violently. Risk of burns!

•Prick food with "skin" or "peel", such as potatoes, tomatoes, sausages, with a fork several times before cooking so that the food does not burst.

•Ensure that a minimum temperature of 70°C is reached when cooking/heating food. For this please refer to the power and time data in the tables. Never use mercury or liquid thermometers to measure the temperature of the food.

•Foods heated with microwaves give off heat to the cookware. Use oven gloves or something similar!

•Do not overcook the dishes by using powers and times that are too high. The food can dry out, burn or set itself alight in certain places.

How to avoid damage to the appliance

•Do not line the oven with aluminium foil and do not place a baking tray or saucepan etc. on the floor, as otherwise the oven enamel will be damaged by the heat build-up.

•Do not leave dishes uncovered in the oven after switching off the cooling fan. Moisture may form inside the oven or on the glass door and also get onto the units.

Information on the oven enamel

Changes to the colour of the oven's enamel surface as a result of use do not affect the appliance's suitability for normal and correct use. They therefore do not constitute a defect in terms of warranty law.

Do not use the appliance

... for cooking eggs in their shells (with fried eggs, pierce the yolks first) and snails, as otherwise these burst.

Cooking oil (fondue, deep frying) and drinks with high alcohol content: Spontaneous ignition!
