Warning and Safety instructions
Do not use plastic containers.
They may melt at high temperatu-
res.
Do not push pots and pans around
on the oven floor as this could da-
mage the surface.
Do not lean or sit on the open oven
door, or place heavy items on it.
This could damage the appliance. Take
care in the region of the hinges. The
oven door can support a maximum
load of 10 kg.
Cover any food which is left in the
oven to be kept hot. This avoids
the food drying out. It also prevents
steam condensing and possibly lea-
ding to moisture damage in the oven.
If food is left in the oven after coo-
king, e.g. to take advantage of the
residual heat, select the lowest tempe-
rature available. Leave the function se-
lector switch at the position set.
Do not switch the appliance off until the
food has been removed. Otherwise the-
re may be a build-up of condensation
which could adversely affect the oven
interior, and externally the control pa-
nel, the worktop surface or surrounding
kitchen furniture.
Put any deep frozen products such
as pizza on baking paper on the
rack. Do not place them on the baking
tray or grill pan. This could cause the
metal to distort to such an extent that it
might be difficult to remove the
tray/pan from the oven. The distortion
would increase with subsequent use.
General notes
Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaner to clean this applian-
ce. Pressurised steam could give rise
to a short circuit, or cause permanent
damage to the surface and to compo-
nents, for which the manufacturer of
the oven cannot accept any responsibi-
lity.
Do not leave the appliance unatten-
ded when cooking with oils and
fats as these can be a fire hazard if allo-
wed to overheat.
Do not use the oven to heat up the
room. Due to the high temperatu-
res radiated, objects left near the oven
or hob could catch fire.
When using kitchen appliances
connected to sockets near the
oven, ensure that the cable cannot
come in contact with the hot cooking
zones or get trapped in a hot oven
door, which could melt the cable insula-
tion and be dangerous.
Always ensure that food is suf-
ficiently cooked or reheated. Many
factors will affect the overall cooking
time, including the size and amount of
food, its temperature, changes to the
recipe and the shape and size of coo-
king container. Some foods may con-
tain micro organisms which are only de-
stroyed by thorough cooking, therefore
when cooking or reheating foods, e.g.
poultry, it is particularly important that
food is fully cooked through. If in doubt
select a longer cooking or reheating
time.
