Electrical safety
•This appliance must only be connected by a qualified installation engineer .
• In the event of a fault or damage to the appliance: Take the fuses out or switch off.
•Repairs to the appliance must only be carried out by qualified service engineers .
Considerable danger may result from improper repairs. If repairs become necessary,
please contact our Customer Care Department or your dealer.
Children's safety
• Never leave children unsupervised while the appliance is operating.
• This appliance is fitted with a child safety device.
Safety during use
• This appliance should be used only for normal domestic cooking, roasting and baking of
food.
• Be careful if connecting electrical appliances to sockets near to this appliance. Electrical
leads must not be caught under the hot oven door.
•Warning: Risk of burns! The interior surfaces of the oven become very hot during use.
•Warning: Do not under any circumstances open the oven door during steam
cooking. The escaping steam can cause moisture damage to units. Avoid any direct
contact with the escaping steam.
• If you use ingredients containing alcohol in the oven, a slightly flammable mixture of
alcohol and air may ensue. In this case, be careful when opening the door. Do not handle
any sources of heat, sparks or naked flames when doing so.
• People (including children), who, because of their physical, sensory or mental capabilities
or their inexperience or ignorance, are not able to use the appliance safely, should not
use this appliance without supervision by or instruction from a responsible person.
Information on acrylamides
According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of food, especially in
products containing starch, can constitute a health risk due to acrylamides. Therefore we
recommend cooking at the lowest possible temperatures and not browning foods too much.
How to avoid damage to the appliance
• Do not line the oven with aluminium foil and do not place a baking tray or saucepan
etc. on the floor, as otherwise the oven enamel will be damaged by the heat build-up.
• Fruit juices dripping from the baking tray will leave stains, which you will not be able to
remove. For very moist cakes, use a deep tray.
• Do not put any strain on the oven door when open.
• Never pour water directly into the oven when it is hot. This could cause damage to and
discoloration of the enamel.
• Rough handling, especially around the edges of the front panel, can cause the glass to
break.
• Do not store any flammable materials inside the oven. These could ignite when the oven
is switched on.
• Do not store any moist foods inside the oven. This could cause damage to the enamel.
• Do not leave dishes uncovered in the oven after switching off the cooling fan. Moisture
may form inside the oven or on the glass door and also get onto the units.
Safety information 3

Information on the oven enamel
Changes to the colour of the oven's enamel surface as a result of use do not affect the
appliance's suitability for normal and correct use. They therefore do not constitute a defect
in terms of warranty law.
