1 Safety instructions

Electrical safety

• This appliance must be only connected by a registered electrician.

• In the event of a fault or damage to the appliance: Take the fuses out or

switch off.

• Repairs to the appliance must only be carried out by qualified service engi-

neers. Considerable danger may result from improper repairs. If repairs be-

come necessary, please contact our Customer Services or your dealer.

Child Safety

• Never leave children unsupervised when the appliance is in use.

Safety whilst Using

• People (including children) who, because of their physical, sensory or mental

capabilities or their inexperience or ignorance are not able to use the device

safely, should not use this device without supervision or instruction by a re-

sponsible person.

• This appliance is intended to be used for cooking, roasting and baking food in

the home.

• Take care when connecting electric appliances to sockets nearby. Do not allow

connecting leads to come into contact with or to catch beneath the hot oven

door.

• Warning: Risk of burns! The interior of the oven becomes hot during use.

• Using ingredients containing alcohol in the oven may create an alcohol-air

mixture that is easily ignited. In this case, open the door carefully. Do not have

embers, sparks or naked flames in the vicinity when opening the door.

3 Information on acrylamides

According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of food, espe-

cially in products containing starch, can constitute a health risk due to acryla-

mides. Therefore we recommend cooking at the lowest possible temperatures

and not browning foods too much.

Safety instructions6

How to avoid damage to the appliance

• Do not line the oven with aluminium foil and do not place baking trays, pots,

etc. on the oven floor, as the heat that builds up will damage the oven enamel.

• Fruit juices dripping from the baking tray will leave stains, which you will not

be able to remove. For very moist cakes, use a deep tray.

• Do not put any strain on the oven door when open.

• Never pour water directly into the oven when it is hot. This could cause dam-

age to or discoloration of the enamel.

• Rough handling, especially around the edges of the front panel, can cause the

glass to break.

• Do not store any flammable materials inside the oven. These could ignite

when the oven is switched on.

• Do not store any moist foods inside the oven. This could damage the oven

enamel.

• After switching off the cooling fan, do not keep uncovered dishes in the oven.

Moisture may condense in the oven interior or on the glass doors and may get

into the units.

3 Note on enamel coating

Changes in the colour of the oven’s enamel coating as a result of use do not af-

fect the appliance’s suitability for normal and correct use. They therefore do not

constitute a defect in the sense of the warranty law.
