6. Cooking guidelines
WARNING!
Be very careful when frying because oil and fat heat up
very fast especially when operating a high-power level. Extremely hot oil
and fat inflame spontaneously and represent a serious fire risk.
WARNING!
NEVER
try to extinguish a fire with water but switch off the
appliance and then cover flame e.g., with a lid or a fire blanket.
CAUTION!
The interior parts of the appliance become extremely hot.
Do not touch any parts inside the appliance if you handle your cookware.
RISK OF BURNS!
CAUTION!
Be careful if you open the door. Do not get in contact with
the hot parts of the oven or the steam, which will escape the oven. RISK
OF BURNS! RISK OF SCALDING!
CAUTION!
Cooking utensils may become hot because of the heat
transferred by the heated food. Potholders or oven gloves may be needed
to handle such utensils.
