Note on use
• Use the childproof locking facility.
• If the appliance is visibly damaged, do not use it. Contact our Customer
Services.
• If the appliance is not operating property, disconnect it from the mains
power supply immediately.
• Ensure there are no foreign bodies or pets in the cooking space before
closing the appliance door.
• Do not store objects that could pose a danger if the appliance were
accidentally switched on in the cooking space or the warming drawer. Do
not store food or temperature-sensitive or inflammable materials, e.g.
cleaning agents, oven sprays, in the cooking space.
• For appliances with a grill, keep the appliance door closed while grilling.
The heat could otherwise damage the operating and display elements or
the fitted units above.
Caution: Risk of burns!
• The appliance gets very hot when in use. The appliance door also heats up.
• Steam may escape from the cooking space when the appliance door is
opened.
• The heated appliance remains hot for some time after being switched off
and cools down only slowly to room temperature. Allow sufficient time for
the appliance to cool down before, for example, 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 (e.g. brandy, whisky, schnapps) over heated food.
Danger of explosion!
• Do not leave the appliance unsupervised when drying herbs, bread,
mushrooms, etc. If the foodstuff dries out too much, this can pose a fire
hazard.
• If you notice smoke possibly coming from a fire in the appliance or inside
the cooking space, keep the appliance door closed and disconnect the
appliance from the mains power supply.
• Accessories get hot in the cooking space. Use protective gloves or oven
cloths.
