is closed.
:
Hot oven interior
Risk of burns.!
Never touch the oven's inner surfaces or heater elements
■
when they are hot. Always carefully open the oven door. The
oven may let out steam. Keep children away from the oven.
Do not pour water into a hot oven. This can produce
■
extremely hot water vapour.
Do not use the oven to prepare dishes with large quantities of
■
strong alcoholic liquor. Alcohol vapour can ignite inside the
oven. Only use strong alcoholic liquors in small doses and
take care opening the oven door.
:
Risk of fire!!
Never put flammable objects into the oven. Never open the
■
door if smoke is coming from the appliance. Turn it off.
Remove the plug from the mains or disconnect the fuse/
circuit breaker in the fuse box.
Ensure that the greaseproof paper is securely fixed to the
■
accessories when pre-heating the appliance. An air current
occurs when the appliance door is opened. The greaseproof
paper could touch the heating elements and burn. Always
secure the greaseproof paper with a pan or baking tin. Only
cover the required surface with greaseproof paper. The
greaseproof paper must fit the accessory perfectly.
:
Danger of short-circuits!
Never put the electric cables of electric appliances around the
door of the oven. The cable insulation could be damaged.
:
Hot accessories and pans/dishes
Risk of burns.!
Never remove accessories or hot dishes from the oven without
using grippers.
:
Inappropriate repairs
Risk of electrical discharge and the resulting shock.!
Incorrect repairs can be dangerous. Repairs can only be
carried out by qualified personnel from the Technical
Assistance Service. If the appliance is faulty, unplug from the
mains or remove the fuse/turn off the trip switch of the fuse
box. Notify the Technical Assistance Service.
:
Self-cleaning
Risk of fire!!
The remains of food and grease as well as roasting juices
■
can catch fire during self-cleaning. Before self-cleaning,
remove grease and dirt from inside the oven.
Do not place flammable objects, such as dishcloths, on the
■
door handle. The outside of the appliance heats up
considerably during self-cleaning. Keep children away.
:
Significant health risks!
Trays and baking tins with a non-stick surface must not be
cleaned using the self-cleaning function. The intense heat
removes the non-stick surface and creates toxic gases.
