Operating Instructions
1Safety instructions
5This appliance conforms with the following EU Directives:
–73/23/EEC dated 19.02.1973 Low Voltage Directive
–89/336/EEC dated 03.05.1989 EMC Directive inclusive of Amending Di-
rective 92/31/EEC

Electrical safety
•This appliance must be only connected by a registered electrician.
•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 re-
pairs become necessary, please contact our Customer Services or your
dealer.
Child Safety
•Never leave children unsupervised when the appliance is in use.
Safety whilst Using
•This appliance is intended to be used for cooking, roasting and baking
food in the home.
•Take care when connecting electric appliances to sockets nearby. Do not
allow connecting leads to come into contact with or to catch beneath the
hot oven door.
•Warning: Risk of burns! The interior of the oven becomes hot during use.
•Using ingredients containing alcohol in the oven may create an alcohol-air
mixture that is easily ignited. In this case, open the door carefully. Do not
have embers, sparks or naked flames in the vicinity when opening the
door.
3Information on acrylamides
According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of food, es-
pecially in products containing starch, can constitute a health risk due to
acrylamides. Therefore we recommend cooking at the lowest possible tem-
peratures and not browning foods too much.

6
How to avoid damage to the appliance
•Do not line the oven with aluminium foil and do not place baking trays,
pots, etc. on the oven floor, as the heat that builds up will damage the
oven enamel.
•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 or 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 damage the oven
enamel.
3Note on enamel coating
Changes in the colour of the oven’s enamel coating 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 the sense of the warranty law.
