1 Safety precautions
▪ Always open sealed food containers before placing them in the cooking
space. Danger of explosion due to excess pressure!
Caution: Risk of burns!
▪ The appliance gets very hot when in use. The appliance door also gets hot.
▪ Steam and/or hot air may escape from the cooking space when the appli-
ance door is opened.
▪ The appliance will remain hot for some time after it is switched off and will
only cool down slowly to room temperature. Allow sufficient time for the ap-
pliance to cool down before, for instance, cleaning it.
▪ Overheated fat and oil can easily catch fire. Heating oil in the cooking
space to sear meat is dangerous and should not be done. Never attempt to
extinguish burning oil or fat with water. Danger of explosion! Smother the
flames with a fire blanket. Keep doors and windows closed.
▪ Do not pour spirits (brandy, whisky, schnapps, etc.) over hot food. Danger
of explosion!
▪ Do not leave the appliance unattended when drying herbs, bread, mush-
rooms, etc. If the foodstuff dries out too much, it can pose a fire hazard.
▪ If you notice smoke possibly coming from the appliance itself or from inside
the cooking space, keep the appliance door closed. Disconnect the appli-
ance from the power supply.
▪ Accessories get hot in the cooking space. Use protective gloves or oven
cloths.
▪ Do not heat up alcoholic beverages!
▪ When heating liquids in a microwave, place a teaspoon in the vessel to pre-
vent delayed boiling. When delayed boiling occurs, the boiling temperature
is reached without the usual steam bubbles rising. Disturbing a vessel, even
slightly, can cause the liquid to erupt if the container is open. Do not use
vessels with a narrow lip.
Caution: Risk of injury!
▪ Be careful not to put fingers in the door hinges, there is otherwise a risk of
injury if the appliance door is moved. Particular care should be taken when
children are around.
▪ Only leave the appliance door open in the at-rest position. An open appli-
ance door poses a danger of tripping or injury! Do not sit or rest on the ap-
pliance door or use it as a storage surface.
▪ For hobs: A hob guard can be fitted to protect small children. Hob guards
are available from specialist retailers.
