Electrical safety

• This appliance must be only con-

nected by a registered electrician.

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

• Repairs to the appliance must only
be carried out by qualified service
engineers. Considerable danger
may result from improper repairs. If

your dealer.

Child Safety

• Never leave children unsupervised

Safety whilst Using

• This appliance is intended to be
used for cooking, roasting and bak­ing food in the home.

• Take care when connecting electric
appliances to sockets nearby. Do
not allow connecting leads to come
into contact with or to catch beneath
the hot oven door.

safety instructions electrolux 5

• Warning: Risk of burns! The interi-

or of the oven becomes hot during
use.

• Using ingredients containing alcohol
in the oven may create an alcohol-air
mixture that is easily ignited. In this
case, open the door carefully. Do not
have embers, sparks or naked
flames in the vicinity when opening
the door.

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.

How to avoid damage to the
appliance

• Do not line the oven with aluminium
foil and do not place baking trays,
pots, etc. on the oven floor, as the
heat that builds up will damage the
oven enamel.

• Fruit juices dripping from the baking
tray will leave stains, which you will
not be able to remove. For very moist
cakes, use a deep tray.

• Do not put any strain on the oven
door when open.

• Never pour water directly into the
oven when it is hot. This could cause
damage to or discoloration of the
enamel.

• Rough handling, especially around
the edges of the front panel, can
cause the glass to break.

6 electrolux safety instructions

• Do not store any flammable materi­als inside the oven. These could ig­nite when the oven is switched on.

• Do not store any moist foods inside
the oven. This could damage the
oven enamel.

• After switching off the cooling fan, do
not keep uncovered dishes in the ov­en. Moisture may condense in the
oven interior or on the glass doors
and may get into the units.

Note on enamel coating

Changes in the colour of the oven’s
enamel coating 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 the sense of
the warranty law.

curved indentation at the bottom on
the right and left-hand edge.
Always insert insertable compo­nents so that this indentation is at
