
Oil and fat can ignite if overheated. Never leave the steam oven
unattended when cooking with oil and fat.
If it does ignite do not put the flames out with water. Switch the
steam oven off immediately and then suffocate the flames by keep-
ing the oven door closed.

Smother the fire or flames, or use a dry chemical extinguishing
agent or foam fire extinguisher.

Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the steam
oven when it is in use could catch fire.
Do not use the steam oven to heat up the room.

Broiling food for an excessively long time can cause it to dry out
with the risk of catching fire.
Do not exceed recommended broiling times.

Some foods dry out very quickly and can be ignited by high broil-
ing temperatures. Do not use broiling functions for crisping rolls or
bread or to dry flowers or herbs. Instead use the Convection
Plus  or Surround  functions.

To avoid fueling any flames, do not open the appliance door if you
see smoke coming from the food in the oven interior. Interrupt the
current process by turning off the appliance and disconnecting it
from the power. Do not open the door until the smoke has dissi-
pated.

Use caution when using alcohol in your recipes. Alcohol evapo-
rates at high temperatures but may, in rare circumstances, combust
on the hot heating elements.

Never cover the floor of the oven with aluminum foil, or place oven
dishes, pans, saucepans or trays directly onto the floor of the oven.

Never use the steam oven without a drain filter as large food
residues may block the drain and the pump.

To prevent the risk of damage, do not leave the roast probe in the
oven cavity when it is not being used.
