drawer should ignite, keep door closed.
Turn off the appliance and disconnect the
circuit at the circuit breaker box.
9WARNING
Use this appliance only for its
intended use as described in this
manual. NEVER use this appliance
as a space heater to heat or warm
the room. Doing so may result in
overheating the appliance. Never use

near the kitchen.
In the event that personal clothing or hair
catches fire, drop and roll immediately to
extinguish flames.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher
available, nearby, highly visible and easily
accessible near the appliance.
Smother flames from food fires other than
grease fires with baking soda. Never use
water on cooking fires.
9WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY
TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A
GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
1. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-
fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal
tray, then turn off the burner. BE
CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS.
If the flames do not go out
immediately, EVACUATE AND
CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN
– You may be burned.
3. DO NOT USE WATER, including
wet dishcloths or towels – a

– You know you have a Class ABC
extinguisher, and you already
know how to operate it.
– The fire is small and contained
in the area where it started.
– The fire department is being
called.
– You can fight the fire with your
back to an exit.

Burn Prevention
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS
OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN -
Heating elements may be hot even though
they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of
an oven become hot enough to cause
burns. During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing, potholders, or other
flammable materials contact heating
elements or interior surfaces of oven until
they have had sufficient time to cool.
Other surfaces of the appliance may
become hot enough to cause burns.
Among these surfaces are oven vent
openings, surfaces near these openings
and oven doors.
Exercise caution when opening the
appliance. Standing to the side, open the
door (or drawer) slowly and slightly to let
hot air and/or steam escape. Keep your
face clear of the opening and make sure
there are no children or pets near the
unit. After the release of hot air and/or
steam, proceed with your cooking. Keep
doors shut unless necessary for cooking
or cleaning purposes. Do not leave open
doors unattended.
9WARNING
Risk of burns!
The inside of the appliance door
becomes very hot during operation.
Always open the appliance door as
far as it will go. Ensure that the
appliance door does not swing back.
Avoid contact with the inside of the
appliance door.
Do not heat or warm unopened food
containers. Build-up of pressure may
cause the container to burst and cause
injury.
Use caution when cooking foods with
high alcohol content (e.g. rum, brandy,
bourbon) in the oven. Alcohol evaporates
at high temperatures. There is a risk of
burning as the alcohol vapors may catch
fire in the oven. Use only small quantities
of alcohol in foods, and open the oven
door carefully.
Always place oven racks in desired
location while oven is cool. Always use
oven mitts, when the oven is warm. If a
rack must be moved while oven is hot, do
not let potholder contact the heating
elements.
9CAUTION
To avoid possible injury or damage
to the appliance, ensure rack is
installed exactly per installation
instructions and not backwards or
upside down.
Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let potholder
touch hot heating elements. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth.
Secure all loose garments, etc. before
beginning. Tie long hair so that it does
not hang loose, and do not wear loose
fitting clothing or hanging garments, such
as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling
sleeves.

Cleaning Safety
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The
California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances
known to the state to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of
potential exposure to such substances.
The burning of gas cooking fuel and the
elimination of soil during self-cleaning
can generate some by-products which are
on the list. To minimize exposure to these
substances, always operate this unit
according to the instructions contained in
this booklet and provide good ventilation.
When self-cleaning, confirm that the door
locks and will not open. If the door does
not lock, do not run Self-Clean. Contact
service.
Wipe out excessive spillage before self-
cleaning the oven.
Birds have very sensitive respiratory
systems. Keep pet birds out of the
kitchen or other rooms where kitchen
fumes could reach them. During self-
clean, fumes are released that may be
harmful to birds. Other kitchen fumes
such as overheating margarines and
cooking oils may also be harmful.
Keep oven free from grease build up.
Cookware Safety
NOTICE
Do not place food directly on oven
bottom.
Follow the manufacturer’s directions
when using cooking or roasting bags.

Causes of damage en-us
] Causes of damage
Causesofdamage NOTICES:
▯Accessories, foil, baking paper or cookware on the
bottom of the oven interior: do not place any
accessories on the bottom of the oven interior. Do not
line the bottom of the oven interior with any type of foil
or baking paper. Do not place cookware on the bottom
of the oven interior when a temperature above 122°F
(50 °C) is set. This produces a build-up of heat.
Baking and roasting times are no longer correct and
the enamel is damaged.
▯Water in the hot oven interior: Never pour water into
the hot oven interior. Steam is produced. Damage to
the enamel can arise due to the temperature change.
▯Do not leave moist groceries in a closed oven for an
extended period of time. It can lead to corrosion
inside the oven.
▯Fruit juice can leave stains in the oven. Always remove
fruit juice immediately when safe to touch, and wipe
up first with a damp and then a dry cloth.
▯Cooling with the appliance door open: only allow the
oven cavity to cool when it is closed. Even if the
appliance door is only open a little, front panels of
adjacent units could be damaged over time.
▯Highly soiled door seal: the appliance door will no
longer close properly during operation if the door seal
is highly soiled. Adjoining furniture fronts may be
damaged. Always keep the door seal clean.
▯Appliance door as a seat or storage surface: do not
stand, sit or hang on the appliance door. Do not place
any cookware or accessories on the appliance door.
▯Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance
type, accessories can scratch the door pane when
closing the appliance door. Always slide accessories
fully into the oven interior.
▯Do not hold or carry the appliance by the door handle.
The door handle cannot carry the weight of the device
and could break off.
7 Environmental protection
Environmentalprotection Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in
an environmentally friendly manner.
Tips for saving energy
▯Open the appliance door as little as possible while
cooking, baking or roasting.
▯Use dark, black-painted or enameled baking forms.
These absorb the heat particularly well.
▯It is best to bake several cakes in succession. The
oven is still warm. This shortens the baking time for
the second cake. You can also slide in two loaf tins
next to each other.
▯In the hot air mode, you can bake simultaneously on
several levels.
▯For longer cooking times, you can switch off the oven
10 minutes before the end of the cooking time and you
can use the residual heat to finish cooking.
