Ovenproof earthenware can retain
a considerable amount of moisture.
Earthenware and porcelain containers
with hollow handles and lid knobs must
only be used in this oven if they have
vent holes which allow the moisture to
escape. Without vent holes pressure
can build-up, causing the container to
crack or shatter, with the danger of
injury.
When grilling with or without the
microwave function, the oven
interior, grill element, side runners and
door can get hot. Do not let small
children touch the oven while it is in
operation, as there is the danger of
being burnt. Supervise its use by
elderly or infirm people.
Wear oven gloves when taking
dishes in and out of the oven, or
when handling dishes or food in the
oven if the grill is on or has just been in
operation. Danger of burning.
Wait until the grill element has
cooled down before lowering it for
cleaning. Danger of burning.
Do not use force to lower the
element as this can cause it to
break.
The gourmet plate gets extremely
hot when in use. Always use oven
gloves when handling it to avoid burns.
Place it on a heat-resistant mat.
The rack and glass tray get hot during
grilling (with and without the microwave
function).
Take care not to burn yourself on them.
Never place the hot glass tray (or
any other hot cooking containers)
on a cold surface, such as a tiled or
granite worktop. The glass tray or
container could crack or shatter, and
the worktop surface could get
damaged. Use a heat-resistant mat or
wire cooling rack.
Do not use the oven to heat up the
room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects left near the oven
could catch fire.
When using kitchen appliances
connected to sockets near the
microwave oven, ensure that the cable
cannot get trapped in a hot oven door,
which could melt the cable insulation
and be dangerous.
To check food temperature, first
interrupt the cooking process Only
use a thermometer specifically
approved for food use to measure the
temperature of the food. Never use a
thermometer containing mercury or
liquid, as these are not suitable for use
with very high temperatures and will
break very easily.
