Notes on disposal

❑ Old appliances still have some residual

value. An environment-friendly method
of disposal will ensure that valuable raw
materials can be recovered and used
again.
Before you dispose of your old
appliance, make sure that it has been
rendered inoperable.

❑ Your new appliance was protected by

suitable packaging while it was on its
way to you. All materials used for this
purpose are environment-friendly and
suitable for recycling. Please make a
contribution to protecting the
environment by disposing of the
packaging appropriately.

Up-to-date information concerning
options for disposing of your old
appliance and the packaging from the
new one can be obtained from your
retailer or local government office.

Before connecting your new
appliance

read these Instructions for use carefully.
They contain important information
concerning your personal safety as well
as on use and care of the appliance.

❑ The Instructions for Use apply to several

versions of this appliance. Accordingly,
you may find descriptions of individual
features that do not apply to your

❑ Please keep the operating and

this important documentation may also
be of use to a possible subsequent
owner.

❑ Do not use the appliance if it is

damaged in any way.

❑ Installation and connection of the

appliance should be performed
according to the instructions and
connection diagram provided, and
should be entrusted to a competent

Important Information

Appliance safety
considerations

❑ The appliance should only be used for

the preparation of food.

❑ The surfaces of heating and cooking

appliances get hot during operation.
The interior oven walls and the heating
elements get extremely hot. Always
keep children away from the appliance.

❑ Never leave the appliance unattended

when cooking with fat or oil. They can
catch fire if overheated.

❑ Clean the oven regularly.

Fatty or oily remants could ignite when
the oven is switched on.

❑ Make sure that the power cord does not

get caught in the hot oven door. The
plastic insulation could melt.

❑ In the case of a defect, switch off at the

mains.

❑ Do not store combustible items in the

oven. They could ignite if the oven is
switched on accidentally.

❑ Do not clean the oven with steam or

high-pressure cleaners.

❑ If using hot air, do not place greaseproof

paper loosely in the oven (e.g. when
heating the oven).
The hot-air fan could draw in the paper
which may damage the heater and fan.

❑ Do not insert a baking sheet at the

bottom of the oven, or cover it with
aluminium foil, because a heat build-up
would result. Roasting and baking times
would change, and the enamel would
be damaged.

❑ Never pour water directly into the hot

oven. Damage to the enamel could
result.

❑ Dripping juices may leave spots on the

oven lining. Always place a baking tray
below to prevent this form happening.

❑ Never stand or sit on the open oven

door.

❑ The oven door must close properly.

Keep the door sealing surfaces clean.
