Correct use
~
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.
~
Never leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with oil or
fats, as these are a fire hazard if
allowed to overheat.
~
If oil or fat catches fire, do not
attempt to put out the flames with water.
Use a suitable fire blanket or fire
extinguisher.
~
Do not exceed the recommended
grilling times when using the Full grill,
Economy grill and Fan grill functions.
Excessively long grilling times can lead
to food drying out and burning, or could
even cause it to catch fire.
~
Do not use the Full grill, Economy
grill or Fan grill to finish baking
part-cooked rolls or bread or to dry
flowers or herbs. Fire hazard. Use Fan
plus or Conventional heat instead.
~
If using alcohol in your recipes, high
temperatures can cause the alcohol to
vaporise and even ignite on the hot
heating elements. Alcohol should be
burnt off before the dish is placed in the
oven to avoid this danger.
Warning and safety instructions
~
When putting cooking containers
into the steam combi oven or taking
them out, take care not to spill the
contents. Avoid contact with hot steam,
and do not touch the hot oven interior
walls. Danger of burning and scalding.
~
Do not store anything combustible in
the oven. This could be a fire hazard if
the appliance is switched on by
mistake.
~
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.
~
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.
~
If using plastic cooking containers,
make sure that they are heat- and
steam-resistant to 100 °C. Otherwise
they may melt, distort or break.
~
Do not use silicone bakeware with
the steam/fan plus combination mode
as silicone is not steam-resistant.
~
Never place a dish, tin, baking tray
or similar object on the oven floor. Do
not place the trays supplied directly
onto the oven floor.
