Warning and Safety instructions
13
Correct use

Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces and steam. The steam oven
gets hot during operation. You could burn yourself on the heating
elements, oven compartment, shelf runners, accessories, food or
steam.
Wear oven gloves when placing food in the oven or removing it, and
when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven.

Risk of injury caused by hot food.
Food may spill or splash around when placing it into the oven or
removing it. The food can cause burns.
When placing cooking containers in the oven or removing them,
make sure that the hot food does not spill.

Do not use the steam oven to heat up or bottle food in sealed tins.
Pressure will build up inside them and they can explode causing
damage to the appliance, as well as the risk of injury and scalding.

Plastic containers which are not heat-resistant will melt, and may
ignite, at high temperatures and can damage the steam oven.
Use only heat-resistant plastic containers. Please follow the
container manufacturer's instructions. If you want to use plastic
containers in your steam oven, make sure they can resist high
temperatures and steam. Other plastic containers may melt, distort
or break.

Food which is left in the oven compartment can dry out and the
moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in the steam oven.
Do not leave food in the oven compartment and do not use any
cooking containers which are susceptible to corrosion.

Risk of injury from the open door. You could bang into the open
door or trip over it. Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.

The door can support a maximum load of 10 kg. Do not sit on or
lean against an open door, and do not place heavy objects on it.
Also make sure that nothing can get trapped between the door and
the oven compartment. The steam oven could get damaged.
