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.

from the appliance itself or from inside
the cooking space, keep the appliance
door closed. Disconnect the appliance
from the power supply.

hinges, there is otherwise a risk of in-
jury if the appliance door is moved.

How to avoid damaging the appliance

▪

Close the appliance door carefully.

▪

For appliances with visible bottom
heating element: Do not place any ob-
jects directly on the bottom heating ele-
ment.

▪

Do not use protective aluminium in-
serts 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
moderately damp cloth. Do not spray
the outside or the inside of the appli-
ance with water. If water gets inside the
appliance, it will cause damage.
