■
Never touch the oven's inner surfaces or heater elements
when they are hot. Always carefully open the oven door. The
oven may let out steam. Keep children away from the oven.
■
Do not pour water into a hot oven. This can produce
extremely hot water vapour.

strong alcoholic liquor. Alcohol vapour can ignite inside the
oven. Only use strong alcoholic liquors in small doses and
take care opening the oven door.

Never put flammable objects into the oven. Never open the
door if smoke is coming from the appliance. Turn it off.
Remove the plug from the mains or disconnect the fuse/
circuit breaker in the fuse box.
■
Ensure that the greaseproof paper is securely fixed to the
accessories when pre-heating the appliance. An air current
occurs when the appliance door is opened. The greaseproof
paper could touch the heating elements and burn. Always
secure the greaseproof paper with a pan or baking tin. Only
cover the required surface with greaseproof paper. The
greaseproof paper must fit the accessory perfectly.

mains or remove the fuse/turn off the trip switch of the fuse
box. Notify the Technical Assistance Service.
Self-cleaning
:
Risk of fire!!
■
The remains of food and grease as well as roasting juices
can catch fire during self-cleaning. Before self-cleaning,
remove grease and dirt from inside the oven.
■
Do not place flammable objects, such as dishcloths, on the
door handle. The outside of the appliance heats up
considerably during self-cleaning. Keep children away.
:
Significant health risks!
Trays and baking tins with a non-stick surface must not be
cleaned using the self-cleaning function. The intense heat
removes the non-stick surface and creates toxic gases.
Items that may damage the appliance
Caution!
■
Accessories, pans, film, greaseproof paper or aluminium foil
on the oven floor: Do not place any accessory on the oven
floor. Do not cover the oven floor with any type of film or
paper. Do not place any cookware on the oven floor if the
temperature is set at more than 50 ºC. It will get too hot.
Oven and cooking times will be inaccurate and the enamel
will be damaged.
■
Water in a hot oven Do not pour hot water into a hot oven.
Steam will be produced. The resulting changes in
temperature may damage the enamel and/or accessories.
■
Liquid foods: Do not keep liquid foods for too long inside the
oven with the door closed. This would damage the enamel.
■
Fruit juices: Do not overfill the tray when baking pies
containing juicy fruits. Fruit juice spilling from the tray will
cause stains that will be impossible to remove. Use the deep
enamel tray whenever possible.
■
Leaving the door open when the oven is cooling down The
oven must only be left to cool with the door closed. Even if
the oven door is left only slightly open, the fronts of nearby
kitchen units may be damaged over time.
■
Oven seal: the fibreglass seal around the oven's interior
forms the seal with the glass door. As far as possible, it is
recommended that you do not clean it because it is very
sensitive. Rubbing it might damage it. If the seal is worn, a
new one can be acquired from the Technical Assistance
Service.
■
The oven door as a support surface: Do not rest or sit on the
oven door when it is open. Do not place any cookware or
accessory on the oven door.
■
Transporting the appliance: Do not use the door handle to
move or secure the appliance. The handle cannot take the
weight of the appliance and may break. The glass panel of
the oven door might move, causing misalignment between
the front panel and the glass panel.
■
Heavy accessories: Do not pull out oven accessories too
much when they are fully loaded before removing items from
them. Loaded accessories will tilt when pulled out. This
creates considerable pressure on the sides of the oven and
could damage the enamel. Support the weight of accessories
when they are pulled out by lifting slightly with one hand.
Warning! Always use grippers when pulling out hot
accessories.
■
Grilling: When grilling, do not place the universal deep tray or
the flat oven tray at a height of more than 3. Due to the
extreme heat, it could be deformed and cause damage to the
enamel when it is removed. Use level 4 and 5 only for direct
grilling.
