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.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

Child Safety

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.

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

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

State of California Proposition 65 Warnings

WARNING

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

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

Use of a wrong core temperature probe can damage the insulation. Use only the core temperature probe intended for this appliance.

Causes of damage

Protecting the environment

NOTICES:

▯ 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.
