Using the oven safely
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
Touching live parts may result in severe
injury or death.
■
Do not remove the covers from the in-
terior light.
■
Do not attempt to replace the interi-
or light.
CAUTION
Health hazard!
The water that melts during defrosting
can contain harmful bacteria, especial-
ly with meat and poultry.
■
Do not defrost meat, poultry and fish
in oven mode.
■
Pour defrost water away. Do not use
it for any other purpose.
■
Thoroughly clean the crockery you
have used.
Risk of burns!
The appliance and its accessible parts
become hot during use. You can burn
yourself on heating elements, the cook-
ing compartment, the cooked food and
accessories.
■
Particular care should be taken to
avoid touching heating elements.
■
Never operate the oven with the oven
door open. Make sure that the door
seal is tight and that the oven door
closes tightly.
■
When opening the oven door, stand
to the side of the oven and as far
away as possible.
■
Allow the oven to cool down com-
pletely before cleaning.
■
Never pour water directly into the hot
oven. The steam can cause scalding
and damage the enamel.
■
Allow hot water from the oven to cool
before pouring it out.
Fire hazard!
Insufficient air circulation can lead to
overheating.
■
Do not install the oven behind a dec-
orative door or a cabinet door.
■
Never cover or obstruct fan openings.
Objects in and near the oven when it is
switched on could start to burn due to
the high temperatures.
■
Do not cover cakes or roasts being
cooked in the oven with baking parch-
ment.
■
If you are preparing foods in oil, fat or
using alcohol, do not leave the oven
unattended. The food may spontane-
ously ignite.
■
Do not allow food, baking parchment
and aluminium foil to come into con-
tact with the heating elements.
■
Do not store temperature-sensitive,
combustible or flammable objects in
the oven. If the appliance is switched
on unintentionally they may deform
or ignite.
■
Do not use the oven for storage pur-
poses.
■
Never use the oven to heat rooms.
■
If a fire breaks out in the oven, keep
the oven door closed and switch off
the oven. Once the fire has been ex-
tinguished, have the oven checked by
our Service.
