Operating Instructions

1 Safety instructions

5 This appliance conforms with the following EU Directives:

– 73/23/EEC dated 19.02.1973 Low Voltage Directive
– 89/336/EEC dated 03.05.1989 EMC Directive inclusive of Amending Di-

rective 92/31/EEC

– 93/68/EEC dated 22.07.1993 CE Marking Directive

Electrical safety

• This appliance must be only connected 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 re-

pairs become necessary, please contact our Customer Services or your
dealer.

Child Safety

• Never leave children unsupervised when the appliance is in use.

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.

• Warning: Risk of burns! The interior 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.

3 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.

7

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.

• 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.

3 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.
