Installation and connection
Warning and Safety instructions
The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it
and an effective earthing system which
complies with current local and national
safety regulations. It is most important
that this basic safety requirement is
present and tested regularly, and where
there is any doubt, the household
wiring system 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 electricity supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
This appliance may only be used in
mobile installations such as ships,
caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk
assessment of the installation has been
carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.
The top edge of the appliance door
should not be above eye level. If it
is too high, you will find it difficult to
access all levels safely when putting
dishes into the oven and taking them
out, and there is a danger of food
spillages and possible scalding.
The appliance must be installed
and connected by a suitably
qualified and competent person in strict
accordance with current local and
national electrical and plumbing safety
regulations. The manufacturer cannot
be held liable for damage caused by
incorrect installation or connection.

well away, and do not allow them to
play with it or use the controls. They will
not understand the potential dangers
posed by it. They should be supervised
whenever you are working in the
kitchen.
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
at all times.
Warning: Take care in the area
around the door hinge. Danger of
injury. Keep children well away.

11
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.
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.

appliance can only be opened when
the fault message is flashing in the
display. If the fault message is not
flashing, the appliance is still
processing the fault. See "Problem
solving guide" for further information.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
Protection from burning and
scalding
The appliance, especially the door,
becomes extremely hot during use,
and remains hot for some time after
switching off. Be careful only to touch
the door button and door handle when
the oven door is hot.
To protect your hands, use
heat-resistant pot holders or oven
gloves when using the appliance. Do
not let them get damp or wet, as this
causes heat to transfer through the
material more quickly with the risk of
scalding or burning yourself.
Pull out the shelf underneath the
appliance before opening the door.
You can place hot containers on the
shelf and it will also collect any drops of
hot water.
On no account attempt to force the
door open during a programme.
The door may only be opened when:
- the cooling down phase is finished,
- the beep has stopped,
- the g symbol is flashing in the time
display.
Otherwise there is a danger of burning
or scalding.
Attempts to open the door before a
programme has run its course will
cause an alarm to sound, and the word
door to appear in the time display.
When putting dishes into the oven
or taking them out, take care not to
spill the contents. Do not come into
contact with hot steam. Danger of
scalding.
If bottling, do not use temperatures
higher than 95 °C (90 °C if the
appliance is installed higher than
1000 m above sea level). Higher
temperatures can cause the jars to
shatter. Danger of injury.
13

Futher safety notes
When using an electric socket near
the appliance, care should be
taken that the cable of the appliance
cannot get trapped by the appliance
door. The insulation on the cable could
become damaged, giving rise to an
electric shock hazard.
Always ensure that food is

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.
Warning: Take care in the area
around the door hinge. Danger of
injury.
Do not use plastic containers.
These melt at high temperatures.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.
14
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.
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 or recycle all packaging
materials safely as soon as possible.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
