Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

The appliance, especially the door,
becomes extremely hot during use, and
remains hot for some time after
switching off. Be careful only to touch
the door button and door handle when
the oven door is hot.
For added protection, it is advisable
to use heat-resistant pot holders or
gloves when using the appliance. Do
not let them get damp or wet, as this
causes heat to transfer through the
material more quickly with the risk of
scalding or burning yourself.
When putting dishes into the oven or
taking them out, take care not to spill
the contents. Do not come into contact
with hot steam. Danger of burning and
scalding.
Do not attempt to force the door
open during a programme. Danger of
burning and scalding. The door may
only be opened when:
- the cooling down phase is
finished,
- the beep has stopped,
the g symbol is flashing in the
-
time display.
Attempts to open the door before a
programme has run its course will
cause an alarm to sound, and the word
door to appear in the time display.
If bottling, do not use temperatures
higher than 95 °C (90 °C if the
appliance is installed higher than
1000 m above sea level). Higher
temperatures can cause the jars to
shatter. Danger of inury.
10
When using an electrical appliance,
e.g. a hand-held food blender, near the
steam oven, ensure that the cable of
the electrical appliance does not come
into contact with the hot appliance. The
insulation on the cable could become
damaged, giving rise to an electric
shock hazard.
Do not use the appliance to heat up
food in sealed jars and tins. Pressure
will build up inside them and they can
explode causing damage to the
appliance, as well as the risk of injury
and scalding.
Descaling must only be carried out
on a cold appliance. Otherwise harmful
vapours can form. See "Descaling".
Do not use the appliance without the
filter in the bottom of the cooking
compartment in place. Otherwise
coarse soiling could get into the
drainage system and pump, causing a
blockage.
Do not use plastic containers. These
melt at high temperatures and if used
with any other function,
Always ensure that food is
sufficiently cooked or reheated. Some
foods may contain micro-organisms
which are only destroyed by thorough
cooking at a sufficiently high
temperature for long enough.
Therefore, when cooking or reheating
food such as poultry, it is particularly
important that the food is completely
cooked through. If in doubt, select a
longer cooking or reheating time.
