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.
• Should the door seal and the door seal surfaces be damaged, the appliance must not be
operated until they are repaired.
•Repairs to the appliance must only be carried out by qualified service engi-
neers . Considerable danger may result from improper repairs. If repairs become neces-
sary, please contact our Customer Care Department or your dealer.
Children's safety
• Small children must be kept away from the appliance. Make sure that children do not
touch the appliance when playing.
• Always heat baby food in jars or bottles with the lid or top off. After heating, stir or shake
well, so that the heat is equally distributed. Before you give the baby food to the child,
please be sure to test the temperature.
• When operating the grill (alone or in combination with the microwave) the viewing
window becomes hot. Therefore keep small children away from the door of the appliance.
• 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.
• 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.
Microwave
• Only switch the appliance on when there is food inside it. With no food init, the appliance
could be overloaded.
•Only use microwave safe cookware (see section Uses, Tables and Tips: Suitable cookware
and materials).
• To protect the interior or the door of the appliance from corrosion through escaping
steam (condensed water), please dry the appliance thoroughly with a cloth after each
use.
Safety information 3

• Do not leave the appliance unattended, if food is being heated or cooked in disposable
containers made of plastic, paper or other flammable materials.
• If smoke appears, keep the appliance closed. Switch off the appliance and disconnect
from the power supply. Do not use the appliance under any circumstances, if it is no
longer working correctly.
• When heating liquids always put a coffee
spoon or a glass rod in the container to
avoid boiling delay. With boiling delay the
boiling temperature is reached without the
typical steam bubbles rising.
If the container is shaken even slightly the
liquid can suddenly boil over or spray vio-
lently. Risk of burns!
• Prick food with "skin" or "peel", such as po-
tatoes, tomatoes, sausages, with a fork sev-
eral times before cooking so that the food
does not burst.
• Ensure that a minimum temperature of
70°C is reached when cooking/heating
food. For this please refer to the power and
time data in the tables. Never use mercury
or liquid thermometers to measure the tem-
perature of the food.
• Foods heated with microwaves give off heat
to the cookware. Use oven gloves or
something similar!
• Do not overcook the dishes by using powers
and times that are too high. The food can
dry out, burn or set itself alight in certain
places.
• The interior of the oven, the grill heating element and the accessories become hot when
the appliance is operating. Please be careful when handling them and use oven gloves
or similar for this reason. Risk of burns!
• Metal objects must be at least 2 cm from the walls of the oven interior and the oven
door. Otherwise spark discharges may be caused and the appliance can be damaged
• If not advised otherwise, do not use aluminium foil.
• Do not get anything caught between the door and the door frame.
• Always keep the door seal, the door seal surfaces and the interior clean. Lack of cleanliness
in the appliance can lead to dangerous situations.
• Do not store any flammable materials inside the oven. These could ignite when the oven
is switched on.
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.

4Safety information

• 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.
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.
Do not use the appliance
... for cooking eggs in their shells (with fried eggs,
pierce the yolks first) and snails, as otherwise
these burst.
Cooking oil (fondue, deep frying) and drinks with
high alcohol content: Spontaneous ignition!
Risk of explosion!
... for heating tightly closed containers, e. g. tins,
bottles, screw top jars.
... for drying animals, textiles, grain pillows and
gel cushions and other flammable materials: Risk
of fire!
... for cookware made of porcelain, ceramic or
earthenware that has small holes, e. g. on handles
or unglazed bottoms. Moisture penetrating holes
can cause the cookware to crack when it is heat-
ed.
