Caution: Risk of injury!
• Be careful not to put fingers in the door hinges. There is otherwise a risk
of injury if the appliance door is moved. Particular care should be taken
when children are around.
• Only leave the appliance door open in the at-rest position. An open
appliance door poses a danger of tripping or injury! 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. These are
available from specialized retailers.
Caution: Risk to life!
• Packaging materials, e.g. plastic and polystyrene, can be dangerous for
children. Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging materials away from
children.
How to avoid damaging the appliance
• Close the appliance door carefully.
• 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 original baking tray will visibly
damage the surface.
• To prevent corrosion, leave the appliance door open in the at-rest position
until the cooking space has cooled down.
• When cleaning the appliance make sure no water can get into the inside
of the appliance. Use a moderately damp cloth. Under no circumstances
spray the inside or outside of the appliance with water. If water gets inside
the appliance, it will cause damage.
• Do not leave the hotplates switched on at a high power level for any length
of time without any cookware as this can damage them.
