Before using for the first time
䡲The appliance must be installed and connected up to the electricity supply in ac-
cordance with the separate installation instructions. The necessary work should be
done by a qualified fitter or electrician.
䡲Dispose of the packaging material in accordance with local regulations.
䡲Before using the newly installed appliance for the first time, please follow the tips
in the 'Using for the first time' section.
䡲Make the desired user settings.
The appliance corresponds to recognised technology stand
ards and the relevant safety regulations. Proper use of the

dents. Please therefore follow the precautions given in these
operating instructions.

…Safety precautions
6
Correct use
䡲The appliance is designed for use in the home for preparing food. No liability is
assumed for any damage caused by improper or incorrect use.
䡲Not to be used as a room heater or humidifier.
䡲Any repairs, modifications or manipulations to the appliance, especially any elec-
trical parts, should only be carried out by the manufacturer, its Customer Services
or similarly qualified persons. Repairs if carried out incorrectly may cause serious
injury, damage to the appliance and fittings, as well as affect the functioning of
the appliance. If the appliance is not working properly or in case of a repair order,
follow the instructions given in the 'Repair service' section. Please contact Customer
Services if necessary.
䡲Use original spare parts only.
䡲Retain these operating instructions for future reference. If you sell or pass the appli-
ance on to a third party, please ensure these operating instructions accompany the
appliance, together with the instructions on installation. In this way, the new owner
can inform themselves about how to use the appliance correctly and read the per-
tinent safety precautions.
Children in the home
䡲Packaging material (e.g. plastic, polystyrene) can be dangerous for children. Dan-
ger of suffocation! Please keep packaging material away from children.
䡲The appliance is designed for use by adults who are familiar with these operating
instructions. Children are often unable to recognise the danger of electrical appli-
ances. Ensure proper supervision and do not allow children to play with the appli-
ance – there is a danger that children can hurt themselves.
䡲Use the childproof locking facility.

…Safety precautions
7
Use
䡲If the appliance is visibly damaged, do not use it. Contact our Customer Services.
䡲If the appliance is not operating properly, disconnect it from the electricity supply
immediately.
䡲Ensure the mains cables of other electrical appliances do not get caught in the door
of the appliance, as the electrical cable insulation could get damaged.
䡲If the mains cable is damaged, it must be replaced by Customer Services.
䡲Ensure there are no foreign bodies or pets in the cooking space before closing the

䡲Objects that could pose a danger if the appliance were accidentally switched on
should not be stored in the cooking space. Do not store temperature-sensitive or
inflammable materials, e.g. cleaning agents, oven sprays, etc., in the cooking
space.
䡲Keep the appliance door closed when grilling. The heat could damage the oper-
ating and display elements or the fitted units above.

…Safety precautions
8
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.
䡲Do not pour spirits (e.g. brandy, whisky, schnapps, etc.) over hot food – danger
of explosion!
䡲Accessories such as wire shelves and trays, etc. get hot in the cooking space.
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
only slowly to room temperature. Allow sufficient time for the appliance to cool
down before, for instance, cleaning it.

…Safety precautions

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Using knives or cutting wheels on the original baking tray will visibly damage the
surface.
䡲To prevent corrosion, allow the cooking space to dry out thoroughly after use by
leaving 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 outside of the appliance with water. Do not
use a steam cleaner. If water gets inside the appliance, it can cause damage.
