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 never
comes into contact with the hotplates,
and does not get caught in the hot oven
door. The plastic insulation could melt.
❑ In the case of a defect, switch off (or
remove) the mains fuse in the building
electrical system.
❑ Do not store combustible items in the
oven. They could ignite if the oven is
switched on accidentally. Do not place
any objects on the hob which might
catch fire.
❑ Do not clean the oven or the hob with
steam or high-pressure cleaners.
❑ If using hot air v, 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.
❑ Fruit juices dripping from the baking
sheet leave spots that cannot be
removed later. For baking, use the
deeper universal baking pan.
❑ Never stand or sit on the open oven
door.
❑ The oven door must close properly.
Keep the door sealing surfaces clean.
❑ Keep an eye on pressure cookers during
the heat-up phase. As soon as the
proper cooking pressure is reached,
reduce the heat setting.
❑ Please observe the separate operating
instructions that came with your hob.
