1.3 Appliance-specific safety
precautions
▪READ THE IMPORTANT
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAREFULLY AND RETAIN
FOR FUTURE USE.
▪WARNING: The appliance
and its accessible parts get
hot during use. Be careful not
to touch the heating ele-
ments. Children under 8
years of age must be kept
away from the appliance un-
less they are constantly su-
pervised.

▪A heatable appliance drawer
and its contents get hot.
▪Do not use aggressive or ab-
rasive cleaning agents or
sharp metal scrapers for
cleaning the glass in the oven
door as they could scratch
the surface. This can destroy
the glass.
▪For appliances with pyrolytic
self-cleaning: Excessive soil-

ous to leave the hob unatten-
ded when cooking with fat or
oil, as this can lead to fires.
NEVER attempt to extinguish
a fire with water. Instead,
switch the appliance off and
then carefully smother the
flames with, for example, a lid
or a fire blanket.
▪WARNING: Never store ob-
jects on the hob due to the
risk of fire.
1.4 Instructions for use

1 Safety precautions
8
▪Ensure there are no foreign bodies or
pets in the cooking space before clos-
ing the appliance door.
▪Objects that could pose a danger if the
appliance were accidentally switched
on should not be stored in the cooking
space or the heatable appliance
drawer. Do not store food or any tem-
perature-sensitive or inflammable mater-
ials, e.g. cleaning agents, oven sprays,
etc., in the cooking space or the heat-
able appliance drawer.
▪For appliances with grill: Leave the ap-
pliance door closed when grilling. The
heat could otherwise damage the oper-
ating and display elements or the fitted
units above.
Caution: Risk of burns!
▪The appliance gets very hot when in
use. The appliance door also gets hot.
▪Steam and/or hot air may escape from
the cooking space when the appliance
door is opened.
▪The appliance will remain hot for some
time after it is switched off and will only
cool down slowly to room temperature.
Allow sufficient time for the appliance to
cool down before, for instance, cleaning
it.
▪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 attempt to extinguish
burning oil or fat with water. Danger of
explosion! Smother the flames with a
fire blanket. Keep doors and windows
closed.
▪Do not pour spirits (brandy, whisky,
schnapps, etc.) over hot food. Danger
of explosion!
▪Do not leave the appliance unattended
when drying herbs, bread, mushrooms,
etc. If the foodstuff dries out too much,
it can pose a fire hazard.
▪If you notice smoke possibly coming
from the appliance itself or from inside
the cooking space, keep the appliance
door closed. Disconnect the appliance
from the power supply.
▪Accessories get hot in the cooking
space. Use protective gloves or oven
cloths.
Caution: Risk of injury!
▪Be careful not to put fingers in the door
hinges, there is otherwise a risk of in-
jury if the appliance door is moved. Par-
ticular care should be taken when chil-
dren are around.
▪Only leave the appliance door open in
the at-rest position. An open appliance
door poses a danger of tripping or in-
jury! Do not sit or rest on the appliance
door or use it as a storage surface.
▪For hobs: A hob guard can be fitted to
protect small children. Hob guards are
available from specialist retailers.
Caution: Risk to life!
▪Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging
material, e.g. plastic film and poly-
styrene, away from children. Packaging
material can be dangerous for children.
How to avoid damaging the appliance
▪Close the appliance door carefully.
▪For appliances with visible bottom heat-
ing element: Do not place any objects
directly on the bottom heating element.
▪Do not use protective aluminium inserts
with appliances with no visible bottom
heating element.
▪Do not use objects that can rust in the
cooking space.
▪Using knives or cutting wheels on the
baking tray will visibly damage the sur-
face.
▪To prevent corrosion, leave the appli-
ance door open in the at-rest position
until the cooking space has cooled
down.
▪When cleaning the appliance, make
sure no water gets inside it. Use a mod-
erately damp cloth. Do not spray the
outside or the inside of the appliance
with water. If water gets inside the appli-
ance, it will cause damage.
