IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Proper use
Danger of burning. The steam oven becomes hot when in use.
You could burn yourself on the heating elements, oven interior,
cooked food, oven accessories or hot steam. Use pot holders when
placing food in the oven or removing it and when adjusting oven
shelves etc. in a hot oven. Take care when putting cooking pans into
the oven or removing them not to spill the contents.
Use only dry, heat-resistant potholders. Moist or damp potholders
used on hot surfaces may result in steam burns. Do not let pothold-
ers come in contact with oil or grease. Do not substitute dish towels
or other bulky items for potholders. Do not let potholders touch hot
heating elements.
Do not heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jars in
the steam oven, as pressure will build up in the container, causing it
to explode.
Plastic containers which are not suitable for use in an oven can
melt at high temperatures and can even damage the steam oven or
catch fire.
Only use plastic containers which are declared by the manufacturer
as being suitable for use in a steam oven. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions on use. If you want to use plastic containers for steam-
ing food make sure that they are temperature resistant to 210°F /
100°C and steam resistant. Any other plastic containers could melt,
become brittle or break when subjected to heat.
Food which is left in the oven to be kept hot can dry out and the
moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in the appliance. Do
not use the steam oven for keeping food warm and do not use uten-
sils in the appliance which could corrode.
Do not leave the appliance door open unnecessarily as someone
may trip over it or be injured by it.
