This appliance conforms with the following EU Directives:

– 73/23/EEC dated 19.02.1973 Low Voltage Directive

– 89/336/EEC dated 03.05.1989 EMC Directive inclusive of Amending

Directive 92/31/EEC

– 93/68/EEC dated 22.07.1993 CE Marking Directive

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 serv-

ice engineers. Considerable danger may result from improper repairs.

If repairs become necessary, please contact our Customer Services or

your dealer.

Child Safety

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

Safety whilst Using

• 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 be-

neath the hot oven door.

• Warning: Risk of burns! The interior of the oven becomes hot dur-

ing use.

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

hol-air mixture that is easily ignited. In this case, open the door care-

fully. 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, especially in products containing starch, can constitute a health

risk due to acrylamides. Therefore we recommend cooking at the lowest

possible temperatures and not browning foods too much.

6

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 dam-

age 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 damage 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 ig-

nite when the oven is switched on.

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

oven enamel.

3 Note on enamel coating

Changes in the colour of the oven’s enamel coating as a result of use do

not affect the appliance’s suitability for normal and correct use. They

therefore do not constitute a defect in the sense of the warranty law.
