General notes
Do not leave the appliance unat-
tended when cooking with oils and
fats as these can be a fire hazard if
allowed to overheat.
Do not use the oven to heat up the
room. Due to the high tempera-
tures radiated, objects left near the
oven or hob could catch fire.
Always ensure that food is suffi-
ciently cooked or reheated. Many
factors will affect the overall cooking
time, including the size and amount of
food, its temperature, changes to the
recipe and the shape and size of cook-
ing container. Some foods may contain
micro organisms which are only de-
stroyed by thorough cooking at tem-
peratures over 70º C for a minimum of
10 minutes. Therefore when cooking or
reheating foods, e.g. poultry, it is par-
ticularly important that food is fully
cooked through. If in doubt select a
longer cooking or reheating time.
It is important that the heat is allowed
to spread evenly throughout the food
being cooked. This can be achieved
by stirring and/or turning the food, and
by observing a sufficiently long stand-
ing time which should be added to the
time needed for cooking, reheating or
defrosting.
When using kitchen appliances
connected to sockets near the
oven, ensure that the cable cannot
come into contact with hot cooking
zones or get trapped in a hot oven
door, which could melt the cable insula-
tion and be dangerous. Danger of elec-
tric shock.
Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaner to clean this ap-
pliance. The steam could attack the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
Using alcohol in your recipes:
Often alcoholic drinks such as
rum, cognac, wine, etc are used when
preparing dishes and oven-cooking
them.
The high temperatures can cause the
alcohol to vaporise.
Please take note that under adverse cir-
cumstances the alcohol can catch light
on the hot heating elements.
In countries which may be subject
to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to
keeping the appliance and its surround-
ings in a clean condition at all times.
Any damage which might be caused
by cockroaches or other vermin will not
be covered by the appliance guarantee.
Disposal of your old machine
Before discarding an old machine
switch off and disconnect it from
the power supply. This should be done
by a competent person. Cut off and ren-
der any plug useless.
Cut off the cable directly behind the
machine to prevent misuse.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by non-
compliance with these Warning and
Safety instructions.
