been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person respon-
sible for their safety. Children must always be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance or any parts of the appliance or the packaging.
Always keep the appliance where it is dry, frost-free, and clean, and where young children
cannot reach it. Do not leave the appliance or any part of it unattended, when in reach of
young children.
• Do not place the appliance or any part of it in a range, or on or near hot surfaces (e.g.
burner, heater or oven). Do not use the appliance or any parts of the appliance with any
other device or for any other purpose (e.g. drying of foodstuffs or other materials). Before
operation, always ensure that the appliance is assembled and connected
completely and correctly according to the instructions in this booklet. Do not
handle the appliance or any part of it with violence. Do not place any clothes or other objects
on or under the appliance during operation. The ventilation slits in the housing must be always
unobstructed.
• Do not hold your hands or any foreign objects (e.g. clothes, cooking utensils) in the heating
compartment or bread pan, with the appliance connected to the power supply. Do not use any
hard, sharp or edged objects (e.g. knives, forks, metal scraper) with the appliance.
• Close the lid securely before operation. You should avoid opening the lid during operation.
During operation and shortly thereafter, hot steam could escape from under the lid or from
the ventilation slits even with the lid securely closed. Do not hold any parts of your body or
any delicate objects over the appliance during operation. Also, when opening the lid, always
ensure not to get scalded by steam.
• Do not overfill the bread pan. Otherwise, liquids or dough could run out and cause hazards
due to overheating and electric shock. Do not fill in more than 750 g. Ensure that
the bread pan is completely clean and dry before placing it in the heating
compartment. Always wipe off spilled liquids immediately. If liquids run out or are spilled
on the housing, immediately unplug the appliance.
• During operation and shortly thereafter, hot steam could escape from under the lid
• Always unplug the appliance, and wait until the motor comes to a standstill, and leave the
appliance cool down, before moving, or cleaning the appliance, or when the appliance is not
in use. Always hold the housing at both sides near the bottom for moving the appliance. Do
not hold the appliance at the lid or power cord for moving the appliance. Do
not place any hard and/or heavy objects on or in the appliance or any part of it.
• Do not use any abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads (e.g. metal scouring pads), or any corro-
sive chemicals (e.g. bleach) for cleaning. This is especially because small parts of scouring
pads could get into the appliance, causing hazard and damage due to overheating, fire and
electric shock.
• Do not place the appliance or any part of the appliance or the power cord
in an automatic dishwasher.
• Do not leave any food dry on the appliance. Always clean the appliance after each use
to prevent an accumulation of baked-on foods (see ›Care and Cleaning‹). Always keep the
appliance and its parts, where it is clean.
