Caution: Burn hazard!
䡲The appliance gets very hot when in use.
䡲Heat is produced during baking and roasting. The appliance door, especially the
glass, can get hot. Burn hazard – do not touch. Keep children away!
䡲Overheated fat and oil can easily catch fire. Heating oil in the cooking space to
sear meat is dangerous and should not be done. Never try to extinguish burning
oil or fat with water – danger of explosion! Smother the flames with a damp cloth
and keep all doors and windows closed.

Always wear protective gloves or use oven cloths.
䡲Do not leave the appliance unsupervised when drying herbs, bread, mushrooms,
etc. If the foodstuff dries out too much, it can pose a fire hazard.
䡲If you notice smoke from a possible fire coming from the appliance or from inside
the cooking space, keep the appliance door closed. Switch off the appliance or
disconnect it from the mains supply.
䡲The appliance will remain hot for some time after it is switched off and cool down

down before, for instance, cleaning it.

Caution: Danger of injury!
䡲When using or cleaning the appliance be careful not to put fingers in the door
hinges, otherwise there is a risk of injury if the appliance door is moved.
Particular care should be taken when children are around.
䡲Only leave the appliance door open in the at-rest position. An open appliance
door poses danger of tripping or injury! Do not sit or rest on the appliance door
or use it as a storage surface.
How to avoid damaging the appliance
䡲Close the appliance door carefully.
䡲Do not place baking trays, glass dishes, wire shelves or other objects directly on
the bottom heat element.
䡲Using knives or cutting wheels on the original baking tray will visibly damage the
surface.
䡲To prevent corrosion, allow the appliance to dry thoroughly after use – leave the
appliance door open in the at-rest position.
䡲When cleaning the appliance make sure no water gets inside it. Use a moderately
damp cloth. Do not spray the inside or the outside of the appliance with water. Do
not use a steam cleaner. If water gets inside the appliance, it can cause damage.
Note on the hob
䡲Do not leave the hot plates switched on at a high power level without any cook-
ware for any length of time as this can damage them.
䡲In case of overheating, switch the hot plate off and allow it to cool down complete-
ly! Do not stand cookware on it. Under no circumstances use cold water to cool it
down.
䡲A hob guard can be fitted to protect small children. The Swiss Council for Accident
Prevention (bfu) in Berne can provide advice.
