  • Page 12 Warning and Safety instructions  If the steam oven is installed behind a furniture front (e.g. a door), do not close the furniture front while the steam oven is in use. Heat and moisture can build up behind the furniture front when closed. This can result in damage to the steam oven, the housing unit and the floor.
  • Page 13 Warning and Safety instructions Correct use  Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces and steam. The steam oven gets hot during operation. You could burn yourself on the oven com- partment, side runners, accessories, food or steam. Wear oven gloves when placing hot food in the oven or removing it and when adjusting oven shelves, for example, in a hot oven com- partment.
  • Page 14 Warning and Safety instructions  The door can support a maximum weight of 8 kg. Do not sit on or lean against an open door, and do not place heavy objects on it. Also make sure that nothing can get trapped between the door and the oven cavity.
  • Page 15 Warning and Safety instructions  Risk of injury caused by hot food. When heating food up, the heat is created directly in the food itself. For this reason the crockery will remain cooler than the food (except when using oven-proof stone- ware).
  • Page 16 Warning and Safety instructions  Eggs can be cooked without their shells using microwave power only if the yolk membrane has been punctured several times first. The pressure could otherwise cause the egg yolk to explode.  Eggs in their shells will explode if cooked with microwave power, even after taking them out of the oven.
