Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

￿The appliance, especially the door, becomes extremely hot during use, and remains hot for some time after switching off. Be careful only to touch the door button and door handle when the oven door is hot.

￿For added protection, it is advisable to use heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when using the appliance. Do not let them get damp or wet, as this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself.

￿When putting dishes into the oven or taking them out, take care not to spill the contents. Do not come into contact with hot steam. Danger of burning and scalding.

￿Do not attempt to force the door open during a programme. Danger of burning and scalding. The door may only be opened when:

- the cooling down phase is finished,

- the beep has stopped,

- the ￿ symbol is flashing in the time display.

Attempts to open the door before a programme has run its course will cause an alarm to sound, and the word door to appear in the time display.

￿If bottling, do not use temperatures higher than 95 °C (90 °C if the appliance is installed higher than 1000 m above sea level). Higher temperatures can cause the jars to shatter. Danger of inury.

￿When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food blender, near the steam oven, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance does not come into contact with the hot appliance. The insulation on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock hazard.

￿Do not use the appliance to heat up food in sealed jars and tins. Pressure will build up inside them and they can explode causing damage to the appliance, as well as the risk of injury and scalding.

￿Descaling must only be carried out on a cold appliance. Otherwise harmful vapours can form. See "Descaling".

￿Do not use the appliance without the filter in the bottom of the cooking compartment in place. Otherwise coarse soiling could get into the drainage system and pump, causing a blockage.

￿Do not use plastic containers. These melt at high temperatures and if used with any other function,

￿Always ensure that food is sufficiently cooked or reheated. Some foods may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking at a sufficiently high temperature for long enough. Therefore, when cooking or reheating food such as poultry, it is particularly important that the food is completely cooked through. If in doubt, select a longer cooking or reheating time.
