Risks when handling heat-
generating appliances
CAUTION
Risk of burns!
The appliance and its accessible parts
become hot during use. Care should be
taken to avoid touching heating ele-
ments.
■
Children less than 8 years of age shall
be kept away unless continuously su-
pervised.
■
Do not touch the parts of the hous-
ing!
■
Do not touch hot parts. Always pro-
tect hands with oven gloves or pot
holders when working on the hot
appliance. Only use dry oven gloves
or potholders. Wet textiles are bet-
ter heat conductors and can cause
steam burns.
■
Allow the appliance to cool complete-
ly before cleaning.
Fire hazard!
Improper handling of the appliance
may result in fi re and damage to prop-
erty.
■
To ensure suffi cient air circulation, it
is imperative that the instructions in
the “Start-up” chapter are followed.
■
Do not cover the appliance with blan-
kets, cloths or similar, as these objects
may become hot and catch fi re.
■
When heating food in plastic or pa-
per containers, keep an eye on the
oven due to the possibility of ignition.
■
The microwave oven is intended for
heating food and beverages. Dry-
ing of food or clothing and heating
of warming pads, slippers, sponges,
damp cloth and similar may lead to
risk of injury, ignition, or fi re.
■
Do not place any objects in the cook-
ing chamber (recipe book, oven
gloves, etc.). Accidentally switching
on the appliance can cause damage
or even ignition. Do not use the cook-
ing chamber for storage purposes.
■
Never heat fl ammable objects or
dishes containing alcohol.
■
Never deep-fry or heat oil! The oil
temperature cannot be monitored.
■
If smoke is emitted, switch off or un-
plug the appliance and keep the door
closed in order to stifl e any fl ames.
■
If a fi re starts, keep the cooking cham-
ber door closed, immediately pull the
plug out of the socket or switch off
the automatic circuit breakers and/or
unscrew the fuses.
■
Never extinguish burning oil or fat
with water. To extinguish the fi re, use
a suitable fi re extinguisher with the
designation “F” or a fi re blanket.
■
Once the fi re has been extinguished,
have the appliance checked by our
Service department (see “Service” on
page EN-39).
Opening the door of the appliance
creates a draught. Baking paper could
touch the heating elements and catch
fi re.
■
Never place loose baking paper on
the accessories. Always secure baking
paper with a piece of dishware or a
baking dish.
■
Only line the required area with bak-
ing paper. Baking paper must not
protrude over the accessory edges.
