Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Before connecting the appliance to
the mains supply make sure that
the voltage and frequency correspond
to the rating on the data plate.
This data must correspond in order to
avoid the risk of damage to the
appliance. Consult a qualified
electrician if in any doubt.
This appliance may be connected
via a plug and fused socket. If you
wish to connect it to an isolator switch,
or if the appliance is supplied without a
plug, it must be installed and
connected by a suitably qualified and
competent person in strict accordance
with local and national safety
regulations. The manufacturer cannot
be held liable for damage caused by
incorrect installation or connection.
The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national safety regulations. It is most
important that this basic safety
requirement is tested regularly, and if
there is any doubt, the electrical wiring
in the home should be inspected by a
qualified electrician. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for the
consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electrical supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
Never open the casing of the
appliance.
Tampering with electrical connections
or components is highly dangerous to
the user and can cause operational
faults.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct usage
To avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the appliance, you
should read these operating
instructions carefully before using it for
the first time. They contain important
notes on the installation, safety,
operation and care of the appliance.
Built-in appliances must not be
used until after they have been
correctly installed. This is necessary to
ensure that all electrical components
are shielded.
This appliance is intended for
domestic use only and is not to be
used for commercial purposes.
Do not operate the appliance
without food in it (except: when
heating up for the first time and when
running the descaling programme).
This appliance must only be used
as described in these instructions.
Any other usage is at the owner’s risk
and could be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
damage caused by incorrect or
improper use of the appliance.
For reasons of hygiene and to
prevent the build-up of moisture in
the appliance, the water container
should be emptied after each use.
The drip channels should be wiped
dry with a soft cloth after each
programme.
After use, leave the door open until
the cooking compartment is
completely dry.
If the appliance is not going to be
used for a longer period of time,
e.g. whilst on holiday, it should be
thoroughly cleaned beforehand to
prevent the build up of odours etc.
Refer to "Cleaning and heating up for
the first time" and carry out the
procedure as described. Leave the
door open afterwards.
Do not immerse the water
container in water, or clean it in a
dishwasher. Connecting the water
container into the appliance when wet
could cause an electric shock.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
Safety with children
The appliance must be installed at
such a height that small children
cannot reach the appliance door, which
gets hot during use.
Use the safety lock to prevent
children operating the appliance or
altering the settings.
The appliance is only intended for
use by adults who have read these
operating instructions. Keep children
well away. They will not understand the
potential danger of touching the
appliance. It is therefore important to
supervise children at all times.
This appliance is not a toy. To avoid
the risk of injury do not allow
children to play with the appliance or its
controls. Supervise its use by the
elderly or infirm.
The appliance gets hot when in
use and remains hot for quite a
while after being switched off. To
safeguard against burning, keep
children well away from the appliance
until it has cooled down.
Warning: Take care in the area
around the hinges. Danger of
injury. Keep children well away.
Keep young children away from the
appliance at all times, and do not
let them swing on the door.
Packaging (e.g. cling film,
polystyrene) and plastic wrappings
must be kept out of the reach of babies
and young children. Danger of
suffocation. Dispose of all packaging
safely as soon as possible.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
Protecting the appliance from
damage
Do not use the appliance to heat
up food in sealed jars and tins.
Pressure will build up inside them and
they can explode causing damage to
the appliance, as well as the risk of
injury and scalding.
Do not store cooked food in the
oven. The moisture in the food can
lead to corrosion in the appliance.
Do not use metallic containers or
utensils in the oven which are likely
to rust. This can cause corrosion.
Only use proprietary citric acid
based descaling agents or
descaling tablets to descale the
appliance (available from the Spare
Parts Dept). Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions on the packaging. Do not
use vinegar or descaling agents
containing vinegar, as these can cause
corrosion in the appliance.
Do not use a steam cleaner to
clean this appliance. The steam
could reach electrical components and
cause a short circuit. Pressurised
steam could also cause permanent
damage to the surface and to other
components, for which the
manufacturer cannot accept liability.
The appliance is designed in such
a way that there will always be a
little residual water left in the water
container after use. If there is no
residual water in the container there is
something wrong. Call the Service
Department.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
Protection from burning
The appliance, especially the
inside of the door and the area
around the ventilation outlet, becomes
extremely hot during use, and remains
hot for some time after switching off.
If the oven is still hot, steam will
escape when the door is opened.
Stand back from the appliance and wait
until the steam has dissipated.
Take care when opening the door
not to spill any hot water that has
collected in the drip channel.
To avoid burning yourself, use oven
gloves. However, do not let oven
gloves get damp or wet, as this causes
heat to transfer through the material
more quickly with the risk of scalding or
burning yourself.
When putting cooking containers
or the condensate tray into the
oven or taking them out, take care not
to spill the contents. Avoid contact with
hot steam, and do not touch the hot
oven interior walls. Danger of burning
and scalding.
Take care not to tip the water
container when taking it out of the
oven. Hot water can scald.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
Appliance faults
If there is any damage to the
appliance, the appliance must be
switched off and disconnected from the
mains supply immediately. It should not
be used again until it has been
repaired. If the appliance has not yet
been fully installed, the electricity cable
must be disconnected from the supply
point. If connected via a plug and
socket, switch off at the socket and
withdraw the plug. Contact the Service
Department.
Do not reconnect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply until after it has
been repaired.
Repairs should only be carried out
by a suitably qualified and trained
person in accordance with local and
national safety regulations. Repairs and
other work by unqualified persons
could be very dangerous and could
damage the appliance. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work. Never open the
housing of the appliance.
While the appliance is under
guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service engineer
authorised by the manufacturer.
Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.
Further safety notes
Always ensure that food is
sufficiently cooked or reheated.
Many factors will affect the overall
cooking time, including the size and
amount of food and its temperature.
Some foods, e.g. poultry may contain
micro-organisms which are only
destroyed by thorough cooking at a
sufficiently high temperature for long
enough. If in doubt, select a longer
cooking or reheating time.
When the door is open be careful
not to hurt yourself on edges and
corners, and especially on the door
catches.
If using plastic cooking containers,
make sure that they are heat- and
steam-resistant to 100 °C. Otherwise
they may melt, distort or break.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any
damage caused by cockroaches or
other vermin will not be covered by the
guarantee.
13
Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation.
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure that they
are recycled.
Disposal of your old appliance
Old appliances contain materials which
can be reclaimed or recycled. Please
contact your dealer, your local waste
collection centre or scrap merchant
about available recycling schemes.
Ensure that the appliance presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
Before discarding an old appliance,
switch off and disconnect it from the
power supply. Cut off and render
any plug useless. Cut off the cable
directly behind the appliance to
prevent misuse. This should be done
by a competent person.
14
Before using for the first time
General notes
You will hear noises similar to those of a
kettle boiling whilst steam is being
generated.
When the appliance is switched on the
fan which expels steam from the oven
can also be heard. The fan will continue
to run for a while after the oven has
been switched off. If you want to
reduce the run-on time, you can do so
by switching the appliance off and
removing the water container.
Please stick the extra data plate for the
appliance supplied with this
documentation in the space provided in
the "After Sales service" section of this
booklet.
Keep these instructions in a safe place
for reference, and pass them on to any
future user.
