IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Risk of injury caused by steam. Pouring a cold liquid onto a hot
surface creates steam, which can cause severe scalding. The
sudden temperature change can also cause damage to hot surfaces.
Never pour cold liquids directly onto hot enameled surfaces.
Risk of injury caused by steam. During cooking processes with
moisture injection and during the residual moisture evaporation
process, steam is produced, which can lead to severe scalding.
Never open the door when bursts of steam are being injected.
It is important that the temperature in the food being cooked is
evenly distributed and sufficiently high. You can ensure this by
stirring or turning the food.
Canning food and heating it up in closed containers results in an
increase in pressure which can cause them to explode. Do not use
cans for canning or reheating food.
Risk of injury from the open door. You could bang into the open
door or trip over it. Do not leave the door open unnecessarily.
The door can support a maximum load of 33 lbs (15 kg). Do not
lean or sit on an open door, or place heavy items on it. Make sure
that nothing gets trapped between the door and the oven
compartment. This could damage the oven.
The flames could set the grease filters of a ventilation hood on fire.
Do not flambé under a ventilation hood.
Never heat empty cookware.
If the cooktop is covered, there is a risk that the material of the
cover will ignite, explode or melt if the cooktop is still hot or if turned
on inadvertently. Never cover the cooktop with a board, cloth or
protective sheet.
When using an electric appliance, e.g. a hand mixer, near the
cooktop, make sure that the power cable does not come into contact
with the hot cooktop. The cable's insulation could become damaged.
The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while
after being turned off. There is a potential hazard until the residual
heat indicator goes out.
