IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
4

Installation
~Before installation, make sure that
the voltage and frequency listed on the
data plate correspond with the
household electrical supply. This data
must correspond to prevent injury and
machine damage. Consult a qualified
electrician if in doubt.
~Be certain your appliance is
properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician.
To guarantee the electrical safety of this
appliance, continuity must exist
between the appliance and an effective
grounding system. It is imperative that
this basic safety requirement be met. If
there is any doubt, have the electrical
system of the house checked by a
qualified electrician.
~The oven is not to be operated until
it has been properly installed within
cabinetry.
~Installation, maintenance and repair
work should be performed by an
authorized service technician. Work by
unqualified persons could be
dangerous and may void the warranty.
~Before installation or service,
disconnect the power supply to the
work area by removing the fuse,
"tripping" the circuit breaker, or shutting
off the power main.
Oven use
,WARNING: Ovens can produce
high temperatures that can cause
burns.
~Prevent children from touching the
appliance while in use.
~Use heat-resistant potholders when
placing items in the oven, turning them,
or removing them from the oven. The
upper heating element and oven racks
can become very hot and cause burns.
~To prevent burns, always place
oven racks at their desired height while
the oven is cool.
~Open the door carefully to allow hot
air or steam to escape before placing
or removing food.
~To prevent burns, allow the heating
element to cool before cleaning by
hand.
~During the self cleaning function the
oven will become very warm. Prevent
children from coming in contact with
the oven.
~Remove all accessories from the
oven before starting the self cleaning
function. The high temperatures
needed for this program will damage
the accessories.
~The door gasket is essential for a
good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or move the gasket.
~Only clean parts listed in this
manual.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

~Caution: Heating elements may be
hot even though they are not glowing.
During and after use, do not let clothing
or other flammable materials come in
contact with heating elements or interior
surfaces of the oven until they have had
sufficient time to cool. External parts of
the oven such as the door glass, vents,
and the control panel can become hot.
~Do not block any vent
openings.
~Aluminum foil should not be used to
line the oven floor. To avoid damage,
do not place pots, pans or baking
sheets directly on the oven floor.
~Do not let metal objects (aluminum
foil, pans) come in contact with the
heating element.
~Do not slide pots or pans on the
oven floor. This could scratch and
damage the surface.
~Do not lean, sit, or place heavy
items on the open oven door.
~Do not heat unopened containers of
food in the oven, pressure may build up
and cause them to explode.
~Never add water to food on a hot
tray or pan or directly onto food in a hot
oven. The steam created could cause
serious burns or scalds.
~This oven must only be used for
cooking. Do not use it as a dryer, kiln,
dehumidifier, etc. Fumes or vapors
given off by glues, plastics or
flammable liquids and materials could
be hazardous.
~Never store flammable liquids and
materials in, above or under an oven, or
near cooking surfaces.
~When baking frozen pizzas or pies,
place them on the rack lined with
parchment paper. Do not use the
baking tray or the roasting pan for
frozen foods with a large surface area.
The tray or pan could become warped
and difficult to remove from the oven
when hot. Frozen food like french fries,
fish sticks, chicken fingers etc. can be
baked on the baking tray.
~Always check that food is sufficiently
heated. The time required varies
depending on a number of factors,
such as initial temperature, quantity,
type and consistency of the food, and
changes in the recipe. Germs present
in the food are killed off only at a
sufficiently high temperature (> 158° F /
70 °C) and after a sufficiently long time
(> 10 Min.). Select a longer cook time if
you are unsure if food is thoroughly
heated. To ensure temperature is
distributed evenly, stir and rotate food
occasionally before serving.

General notes
~Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the oven. Steam could penetrate
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
~Children should not be left alone or
unattended in an area where an oven is
in use. Never allow children to sit or
stand on any part of the oven.
Caution: Do not store items of interest
to children in cabinets above an oven.
Children climbing on the oven to reach
these items could be injured.
~Do not leave the oven unattended
when cooking with oils or fats, they are
a fire hazard if overheated.
~Do not use water on grease fires!
Smother the fire with a properly rated
dry chemical or foam fire extinguisher.
~Be aware of loose fitting or hanging
garments while operating the cooktop,
they present a fire hazard.
~Do not use the oven to heat the
room.
~Make certain that the power cords of
small appliances do not come in
contact with or get caught in the oven
door.
~Use only dry, heat resistant
potholders. Moist or damp potholders
used on hot surfaces may result in
steam burns. Do not let potholders
come in contact with oils. Do not
substitute towels or other bulky items
for potholders.
~It is recommended to cover all
cooked food that is left in the oven to
be kept warm. This will prevent
moisture from condensing on the
interior of the oven.
~Be careful when using alcoholic
beverages like rum, whiskey, wine etc.
for baking or roasting. The alcohol
evaporates at high temperatures but
may in rare circumstances combust on
the hot heating elements.
