
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
keeping the oven door closed.

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.

Grilling food for excessively long cooking durations can cause it to
dry out with the risk of catching fire. Do not exceed the
recommended cooking durations.

Some foods dry out very quickly and can be ignited by high
grilling temperatures.
Do not use grilling functions for crisping rolls or bread or to dry
flowers or herbs. Instead use Fan Plus  or Conventional Heat .

To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the oven door if there is
smoke inside the steam oven. Interrupt the programme by switching
the steam oven off and disconnect it from the mains electricity
supply. Do not open the door until the smoke has dispersed.

If using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that high
temperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporise and even to ignite on
the hot heating elements.

Never line the floor of the oven compartment with aluminium foil
or oven liners. Do not place any crockery or any pans, pots or baking
trays directly on the floor of the oven compartment.
If you want to use the floor of the oven compartment as an extra
surface, place the rack on the floor of the oven compartment with
the rack surface facing up and the cooking container on top. In
doing so, ensure that the filter in the floor of the oven is not moved.

The oven compartment floor can become damaged by the rack
being pushed around on it.
Do not push the rack around on the oven compartment floor.
