Installation and connection
The appliance must be installed
and connected by a suitably
qualified and competent person in strict
accordance with local and national
electrical and plumbing safety
regulations. The manufacturer cannot
be held liable for damage caused by
incorrect installation or connection.
The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national safety regulations. It is most
important that this basic safety
requirement is tested regularly, and if
there is any doubt, the electrical wiring
in the home should be inspected by a
qualified electrician. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for the
consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
This equipment may only be used
in mobile installations such as
ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk
assessment of the installation has been
carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.
Warning and Safety instructions
9

Correct usage
To avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the appliance, you
should read these operating
instructions carefully before using it for
the first time. They contain important
notes on the installation, safety,
operation and care of the appliance.
For safety reasons the appliance
must only be used after it has been
built in. This is necessary to ensure that
all electrical components are shielded.
This appliance is intended for
domestic use only and is not to be
used for commercial purposes.
This appliance must only be used
as described in these instructions.
Any other usage is at the owner's risk
and could be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
damage caused by incorrect or
improper use of the appliance.
Do not use the appliance to heat
up the room. Due to the high
temperatures radiated, objects near the
appliance could catch fire. The life of
the appliance could also be reduced.
After use with steam, leave the
door open until all the moisture in
the cooking compartment has
dissipated and the interior is dry.
Make sure that the stopcock is
open before using the appliance.
After switching off the appliance
remember to close the stopcock to
avoid any risk of water damage.
Do not use the appliance without
the filter in the bottom of the oven
cavity in place; otherwise coarse soiling
could get into the drainage system and
pump, causing a blockage.
Descaling must only be carried out
on a cold appliance; otherwise
harmful vapours can form. See
"Descaling".
If the appliance is not going to be
used for a longer period of time,
e.g. whilst on holiday, it should be
thoroughly cleaned beforehand to
prevent the build up of odours etc.
Proceed as described under "Cleaning
and heating up for the first time". Leave
the door open afterwards.
Warning and Safety instructions
10

Safety with children
The appliance must be installed at
such a height that small children
cannot reach the appliance door, which
gets hot during use.
Use the safety lock to prevent
children operating the appliance or
altering the settings.
The appliance is only intended for
use by adults who have read these
operating instructions. Keep children
well away. They will not understand the
potential danger of touching the
appliance. It is therefore important to
supervise children at all times.
This appliance is not a toy. To avoid
the risk of injury, do not allow
children to play with the appliance or its
controls. Supervise its use by the
elderly or infirm.
The appliance gets hot when in
use and remains hot for quite a
while after being switched off. To
safeguard against burning, keep
children well away from the appliance
until it has cooled down.
Warning: Take care in the area
around the hinges. Danger of
injury. Keep children well away.
Do not allow children to lean
against the open oven door, nor to
sit on it or swing on it.
Packaging (e.g. cling film,
polystyrene) and plastic wrappings
must be kept out of the reach of babies
and young children. Danger of
suffocation. Dispose of all packaging
safely as soon as possible.
Warning and Safety instructions
11

Protecting the appliance from
damage
Do not store anything combustible
in the oven. This could be a fire
hazard if the appliance is switched on
by mistake.
When heating up or cooking larger
items of deep frozen food such as
pizza, place them directly on the rack.
Do not use the baking tray, or grill pan /
oven tray as these can distort with the
temperature fluctuations.
Do not use the appliance to heat
up food in sealed jars and tins.
Pressure will build up inside them and
they can explode causing damage to
the appliance, as well as the risk of
injury and scalding.
Do not store cooked food in the
oven. The moisture in the food can
lead to corrosion in the appliance.
Do not use metallic containers or
utensils in the oven which are likely
to rust. This can cause corrosion.
Do not use a steam cleaner to
clean this appliance. The steam
could reach electrical components and
cause a short circuit. Pressurised
steam could also cause permanent
damage to the surface and to other
components, for which the
manufacturer cannot accept liability.
Do not place heavy objects on the
open door. The door can support a
maximum weight of 10 kg.
Warning and Safety instructions
12

Protection from burning
The appliance, especially the
inside of the door and the outside
of the door at the top, becomes very
hot during use and remains hot for
some time after switching off.
To avoid burning yourself, use oven
gloves. However, do not let oven
gloves get damp or wet, as this causes
heat to transfer through the material
more quickly with the risk of scalding or
burning yourself. Do not touch hot
heater elements.
Do not touch hot steam. Danger of
scalding.
Never leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with oil
or fat. Oveheated oil can catch fire.
If, despite this, oil or fat does catch
fire, do not attempt to put out the
flames with water. Use a suitable fire
blanket or fire extinguisher.
Appliance faults
In the event of damage or a defect,
switch off the appliance immedi-
ately. Close the stopcock and
disconnect from the mains electricity
supply. It should not be used again until
it has been repaired. Contact the Ser-
vice Department.
Do not reconnect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply until after it has
been repaired.
Repairs must only be carried out
by a suitably qualified and trained
person in accordance with local and
national safety regulations. Repairs and
other work by unqualified persons
could be very dangerous and could
damage the appliance. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work. Never open the
housing of the appliance.
While the appliance is under
guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician
authorised by the manufacturer.
Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.
Warning and Safety instructions
13

Further safety notes
When using an electric socket near
the oven, care should be taken that
the cable of the appliance cannot get
trapped by the oven door. The
insulation on the cable could become
damaged, giving rise to an electric
shock hazard.
Always ensure that food is
sufficiently cooked or reheated.
Many factors will affect the overall
cooking time, including the size and
amount of food and its temperature.
Some foods, e.g. poultry may contain
micro-organisms which are only
destroyed by thorough cooking at a
sufficiently high temperature for long
enough. If in doubt, select a longer
cooking or reheating time.
If the appliance door is only
opened a little way it will close
again automatically.
When placing items into or removing
them from the oven, make sure that the
door has been opened fully and that it
is stable. Otherwise there is danger of
injury.
Do not use plastic containers.
These melt at high temperatures
Fire hazard.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any
damage caused by cockroaches or
other vermin will not be covered by the
guarantee.
Warning and Safety instructions
14

Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation.
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure that they
are recycled.
Disposal of your old appliance
Old appliances contain materials which
can be reclaimed or recycled. Please
contact your dealer, your local waste
collection centre or scrap merchant
about available recycling schemes.
Ensure that the appliance presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
Before discarding an old appliance,
switch off and disconnect it from the
power supply. Cut off and render
any plug useless. Cut off the cable
directly behind the appliance to
prevent misuse. This should be done
by a competent person.
