•Be cautious as the oven surfaces become hot when the appliance is operated at a high temperature for an extended period of time.

•When cooking, use caution when opening the oven door as hot air and steam can escape rapidly.

•When cooking dishes that contain alcohol, the alcohol may evaporate due to the high temperatures and the vapor can catch fire if it comes into contact with a hot part of the oven.

•For your safety, do not use high-pressure water cleaners or steam jet cleaners on your oven.

•Frozen foods, such as pizza, should be cooked on the wire grill. If the baking tray is used, it may become warped due to the rapid change in temperature.

•Do not pour water into the oven when it is hot. This could cause damage to the interior enamel surface.

•The oven door must be closed while cooking.
