IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
If using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that high
temperatures can cause the alcohol to evaporate. The vapor can
catch fire on hot heating elements.
When using residual heat to keep food warm, corrosion from high air
humidity and condensation can occur in the oven. This can cause
damage to the control panel, countertop, and cabinet carcase. Keep
the oven on and select the lowest temperature available for the selected
operating mode. The cooling fan will then continue to run automatically.
Food which is stored in the oven compartment 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 buildup of heat can cause the floor of the oven to crack or flake off.
Never line the floor of the oven with aluminum foil or oven liners.
If you wish to place dishware on the floor of the oven during the
cooking process, or place dishware on the floor of the oven to heat it
up, you can do so, but only with the Convection Bake
operating
mode.
The oven floor can become damaged by items being pushed
around on it. When placing pots, pans, or dishware on the oven floor,
do not push them around.
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.
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.
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 suitable for use in an oven.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
