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.
