9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Fire Safety

WARNING

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the
oven. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat,
causing a fire hazard.

If materials inside an oven or warming drawer should
ignite, keep door closed. Turn off the appliance and
disconnect the circuit at the circuit breaker box.

WARNING

Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual. NEVER use this appliance
as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so
may result in overheating the appliance. Never use the
appliance for storage.

Always have a working smoke detector near the
kitchen.

In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,
drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.

Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available,
nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the
appliance.

Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires
with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN
THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid,

cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the
burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If
the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE
AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be

burned.

c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths

or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.

d) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

‒ You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher,

and you already know how to operate it.

‒ The fire is small and contained in the area

where it started.

‒ The fire department is being called.
‒ You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

Burn Prevention

DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR
INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN - Heating elements
may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior
surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause
burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials
contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven
until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other
surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to
cause burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent
openings, surfaces near these openings and oven
doors.

Exercise caution when opening the appliance.
Standing to the side, open the door (or drawer) slowly
and slightly to let hot air and/or steam escape. Keep
your face clear of the opening and make sure there
are no children or pets near the unit. After the release
of hot air and/or steam, proceed with your cooking.
Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or
cleaning purposes. Do not leave open doors
unattended.

Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build­up of pressure may cause the container to burst and
cause injury.

Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol
content (e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven.

5

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. There is a
risk of burning as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in
the oven. Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods,
and open the oven door carefully.

Always place oven racks in desired location while
oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while oven is
hot, do not let potholder contact the heating elements.

CAUTION

To avoid possible injury or damage to the appliance,
ensure rack is installed exactly per installation
instructions and not backwards or upside down.

Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth.

Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie
long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not
wear loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such
as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.

Child Safety

Cleaning Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe
Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires
the Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm, and requires
businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to
such substances. The burning of gas cooking fuel and
the elimination of soil during self-cleaning can
generate some by-products which are on the list. To
minimize exposure to these substances, always
operate this unit according to the instructions
contained in this booklet and provide good ventilation.

When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks and
will not open. If the door does not lock, do not run
Self-Clean. Contact service.

Wipe out excessive spillage before self-cleaning the
oven.

Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems. Keep
pet birds out of the kitchen or other rooms where
kitchen fumes could reach them. During self-clean,
fumes are released that may be harmful to birds.
Other kitchen fumes such as overheating margarines
and cooking oils may also be harmful.

When children become old enough to use the
appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents
or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in
safe practices by qualified persons.

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang
on any part of an appliance, especially a door,
warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage
the appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially
causing severe injury.

Do not allow children to use this appliance unless
closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets
should not be left alone or unattended in the area
where the appliance is in use. They should never be
allowed to play in its vicinity, whether or not the
appliance is in use.

CAUTION

Items of interest to children should not be stored in an
appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the
backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to
reach items could be seriously injured.

Keep oven free from grease build up.

Cookware Safety

NOTICE: Do not place food directly on oven bottom.

Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using
cooking or roasting bags.

Do not clean parts or accessories in the self-clean
oven.

WARNING

Risk of electric shock

Warnings

WARNING

This product contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.

Causes of Damage

Protecting the environment

▯ Accessories, foil, baking paper or cookware on

the bottom of the oven interior: do not place any
accessories on the bottom of the oven interior. Do
not line the bottom of the oven interior with any
type of foil whatever or baking paper. Do not
place cookware on the bottom of the oven interior
when a temperature above 122°F (50 °C) is set.
This produces a build-up of heat. Baking and
roasting times are no longer correct and the
enamel is damaged.

▯ Water in the hot oven interior: Never pour water

into the hot oven interior. Steam is produced.
Damage to the enamel can arise due to the
temperature change.

▯ Do not leave moist groceries in a closed oven for

an extended period of time. It can lead to
corrosion inside the oven.

▯ Fruit juice can leave stains in the oven. Always

remove fruit juice immediately and wipe up first
with a damp and then a dry cloth.

▯ Cooling with the appliance door open: only allow

the oven cavity to cool when it is closed. Even if
the appliance door is only open a little, front
panels of adjacent units could be damaged over
time.

▯ Highly soiled door seal: the appliance door will no

longer close properly during operation if the door
seal is highly soiled. Adjoining furniture fronts
may be damaged. Always keep the door seal
clean.

▯ Appliance door as a seat or storage surface: do

not stand, sit or hang on the appliance door. Do
not place any cookware or accessories on the
appliance door.

▯ Inserting accessories: depending on the

appliance type, accessories can scratch the door
pane when closing the appliance door. Always
slide accessories fully into the oven interior.

▯ Do not hold or carry the appliance by the door

handle. The door handle cannot carry the weight
of the device and could break off.

Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in
line with environmental requirements.

Tips for saving energy

▯ Open the appliance door as little as possible

while cooking, baking or roasting.

▯ Use dark, black-painted or enameled baking

forms. These absorb the heat particularly well.

▯ It is best to bake several cakes in succession. The

oven is still warm. This shortens the baking time
for the second cake. You can also slide in two loaf
tins next to each other.

▯ In the hot air mode, you can bake simultaneously

on several levels.

▯ For longer cooking times, you can switch off the

oven 10 minutes before the end of the cooking
time and you can use the residual heat to finish
cooking.
