Warning and Safety instructions
11
Food which is stored in the oven or left in it to be kept warm can
dry out and the moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in
the oven.
Always cover food that is left in the oven to keep warm.
A build-up of heat can cause the enamel on the floor of the oven
to crack or shatter.
Do not line the floor of the oven with anything, e.g. aluminium foil or
oven liners.
If you wish to place dishes on the floor of the oven during cooking,
or place crockery on the floor of the oven to heat it up, you can do
so, but only with the Fan Plus
or Gentle Bake
function.
The enamelling on the oven floor can become damaged by items
being pushed around on it.
If using the oven to store pots and pans, ensure that you avoid
pushing them around on the oven floor.
Never pour cold water onto hot surfaces in a hot oven.
The steam created could cause serious burns or scalding and the
sudden change in temperature can damage the enamel in the oven.
It is important that the heat is allowed to spread evenly throughout
the food being cooked.
This can be achieved by stirring or turning the food.
Plastic containers, which are not heat-resistant, melt and may
ignite at high temperatures and can damage the oven.
Use only plastic containers that are indicated by the manufacturer as
being suitable for use in ovens.
Do not use the appliance to heat up or bottle food in sealed jars
and 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.
Do not leave the oven door open unnecessarily as someone may
trip over it or be injured by it.
