Operating Instructions

1 Safety

Electrical Safety

• This appliance must be connected by a qualified electrician or com- petent person.

• In the event of a fault or damage to the appliance: disconnect from the mains supply.

• For safety reasons, do not clean the appliance with steam jet or high- pressure cleaning equipment.

• Repairs to the appliance must be carried out by a trained service engineer only. Considerable danger may result from improper repairs.

If repairs become necessary, please contact your local Service Force Centre.

Child Safety

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

Safety during Operation

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

• Be careful if connecting electrical appliances to sockets near this appliance. Electrical leads should not be allowed to come near the hotplates or to become caught under the hot oven door.

• Warning: Danger of burns! When in use, the oven interior surfaces become very hot.

• Warning: When cooking with the Vigorous Steam function, do not under any circumstances open the oven door. The escaping

steam can cause moisture damage to furniture and cabinets. Avoid any direct contact with escaping steam as it could cause scalding.

• If you use alcohol in your cooking, a slightly flammable alcohol/air mixture 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.

How to avoid damage to the appliance

• Do not line the oven with aluminium foil and do not place baking trays, ovenware, 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 the all-purpose tray.

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

• Never pour water directly into the hot oven. This could cause electri-

cal faults or damage to the enamel.

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

• Do not store any inflammable 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.

2 Disposal

function. A buzzing sound is heard when the water has been used up. When more water is added, the buzzing sound is switched off again.

3 To prevent limescale forming, use decalcified water only, for example,

from a water filter.
