Caution: Danger of injury!
• Be careful that fingers do not get caught in the door hinges. Otherwise, if
the appliance door is moved, there is a risk of injury. Particular care should
be taken when children are around.
• An open appliance door poses danger of tripping or injury! Do not sit or
rest on the appliance door or use it as a storage surface.
Caution: Burns hazard!
• Accessible parts of the appliance can get hot when in use. Keep children
away!
• The appliance, the appliance door and especially the glass get very hot
when in use.
• Steam may escape from the cooking space when the appliance door is
opened. Do not put your hands into the cooking space if there is steam in
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 try to
extinguish burning oil or fat with water (danger of explosion)! Extinguish the
flames using a fire blanket and keep all doors and windows closed.
• Do not pour spirits (e.g. brandy, whisky, schnapps, etc.) over hot food –
danger of explosion!
• Accessories get hot in the cooking space. Always wear protective gloves
or use oven cloths.
• 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 supply.
• The appliance will remain hot for some time after it is switched off and cool
down only slowly to room temperature. Allow sufficient time for the
appliance to cool down before, for instance, cleaning it.
• 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.
