IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Use

This appliance is intended for
residential use only.

Only use the appliance for its
intended purpose.

This appliance complies with current
safety requirements. Improper use
of the appliance can lead to
personal injury and material
damage.

Read all instructions before installing
or using the oven for the first time.

Keep these operating instructions in
a safe place and pass them on to
any future user.

The appliance is intended for

~

domestic use only: cooking, baking,
roasting, broiling, defrosting and
heating of food.
It is not designed for industrial or
laboratory use.

Do not use the appliance to store or

~

dehydrate flammable materials. This is
a fire hazard.

Persons who lack physical, sensory

~

or mental abilities, or experience with
the appliance should not use it without
supervision or instruction by a
responsible person.

Children

Children should not be left

~

unattended in an area where the
appliance is in use. Never allow
children to hang or lean on any part of
the appliance.

Children should not use the unit

~

without supervision unless its operation
has been sufficiently explained so they
can run it safely. Children must be able
to recognize potential hazards or
improper operation.

Do not allow children to touch or

~

play in, on or near the oven when it is in
operation. The oven gets hot at the
oven door glass, the vapor vent, the
handle and the operating controls.
Danger of burns.

4

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Installation

Before installation, make sure that

~

the voltage and frequency listed on the
data plate correspond with the
household electrical supply. This data
must correspond to prevent injury and
machine damage. Consult a qualified
electrician if in doubt.

Be certain your appliance is

~

properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician.

To guarantee the electrical safety of this
appliance, continuity must exist
between the appliance and an effective
grounding system. It is imperative that
this basic safety requirement be met. If
there is any doubt, have the electrical
system of the house checked by a
qualified electrician.

The oven is not to be operated until

~

it has been properly installed within
cabinetry.

Oven use

WARNING: Ovens can produce

,

high temperatures that can cause
burns.

Prevent children from touching the

~

appliance while in use.

Use heat-resistant potholders when

~

placing items in the oven, turning them,
or removing them from the oven. The
upper heating element and oven racks
can become very hot and cause burns.

To prevent burns, always place

~

oven racks at their desired height while
the oven is cool.

Open the door carefully to allow hot

~

air or steam to escape before placing
or removing food.

To prevent burns, allow the heating

~

element to cool before cleaning by
hand.

Installation, maintenance and repair

~

work should be performed by an
authorized service technician. Work by
unqualified persons could be
dangerous and may void the warranty.

Before installation or service,

~

disconnect the power supply to the
work area by removing the fuse,
"tripping" the circuit breaker, or shutting
off the power main.

The door gasket is essential for a

~

good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or move the gasket. The
door gasket should only be cleaned
with a solution of warm water and soap.

Only clean parts listed in this

~

manual.

5

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Caution: Heating elements may be

~

hot even though they are not glowing.
During and after use, do not let clothing
or other flammable materials come in
contact with heating elements or interior
surfaces of the oven until they have had
sufficient time to cool. External parts of
the oven such as the door glass, vents,
and the control panel can become hot.

Do not block any vent

~

openings.

Aluminum foil should not be used to

~

line the oven floor. To avoid damage,
do not place pots, pans or baking
sheets directly on the oven floor.

Do not let metal objects (aluminum

~

foil, pans) come in contact with the
heating element.

Do not slide pots or pans on the

~

oven floor. This could scratch and
damage the surface.

Do not lean, sit, or place heavy

~

items on the open oven door.

Do not heat unopened containers of

~

food in the oven, pressure may build up
and cause them to explode.

Never add water to food on a hot

~

tray or pan or directly onto food in a hot
oven. The steam created could cause
serious burns or scalds.

This oven must only be used for

~

cooking. Do not use it as a dryer, kiln,
dehumidifier, etc. Fumes or vapors
given off by glues, plastics or
flammable liquids and materials could
be hazardous.

Never store flammable liquids and

~

materials in, above or under an oven, or
near cooking surfaces.

When baking frozen pizzas or pies,

~

place them on the rack lined with
parchment paper. Do not use the
baking tray or the roasting pan for
frozen foods with a large surface area.
The tray or pan could become warped
and difficult to remove from the oven
when hot. Frozen food like french fries,
fish sticks, chicken fingers etc. can be
baked on the baking tray.

Always check that food is sufficiently

~

heated. The time required varies
depending on a number of factors,
such as initial temperature, quantity,
type and consistency of the food, and
changes in the recipe. Germs present
in the food are killed off only at a
sufficiently high temperature (> 158° F /
70 °C) and after a sufficiently long time
(> 10 Min.). Select a longer cook time if
you are unsure if food is thoroughly
heated. To ensure temperature is
distributed evenly, stir and rotate food
occasionally before serving.

6

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

General notes

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean

~

the oven. Steam could penetrate
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.

Children should not be left alone or

~

unattended in an area where an oven is
in use. Never allow children to sit or
stand on any part of the oven.
Caution: Do not store items of interest
to children in cabinets above an oven.
Children climbing on the oven to reach
these items could be injured.

Do not leave the oven unattended

~

when cooking with oils or fats, they are
a fire hazard if overheated.

Do not use water on grease fires!

~

Smother the fire with a properly rated
dry chemical or foam fire extinguisher.

Be aware of loose fitting or hanging

~

garments while operating the cooktop,
they present a fire hazard.

It is recommended to cover all

~

cooked food that is left in the oven to
be kept warm. This will prevent
moisture from condensing on the
interior of the oven.

Be careful when using alcoholic

~

beverages like rum, whiskey, wine etc.
for baking or roasting. The alcohol
evaporates at high temperatures but
may in rare circumstances combust on
the hot heating elements.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
AND REVIEW THEM
PERIODICALLY

Do not use the oven to heat the

~

room.

Make certain that the power cords of

~

small appliances do not come in
contact with or get caught in the oven
door.

Use only dry, heat resistant

~

potholders. Moist or damp potholders
used on hot surfaces may result in
steam burns. Do not let potholders
come in contact with oils. Do not
substitute towels or other bulky items
for potholders.

Oven accessories

Roasting pan, wire rack

The oven comes equipped with a
roasting pan and wire racks. These
pieces are to be slid into the runners on
either side of the oven.

The roasting pan is ideal for catching
drippings from meat or poultry roasted
or broiled directly on the rack.
It can also be used as a baking tray.

Roasting pan and wire racks are
coated with PerfectClean and can be
easily cleaned with a sponge and dish
soap.

Non-tip safety notches

Wire racks and roasting pan are
equipped with non-tip safety notches
(see arrows) which prevent them from
being pulled out completely while the
oven is in use.

When inserting a rack or pan always
check that the safety notches are at
the rear of the oven.

Once inserted into the oven these
pieces can only be removed by raising
the piece upwards and then pulling it
out.

Slide opener

The slide opener is used to remove the
light cover when changing a light bulb.

The flat end of the slide opener is
wedged beneath the light cover to pry it
off.

12

System lock

The oven is supplied with this setting
deactivated as standard.
To use it you first have to activate it.
