Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

~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 cooking containers or the condensate tray into the oven or taking them out, take care not to spill the contents. Avoid contact with hot steam, and do not touch the hot oven interior walls. Danger of burning and scalding.

~If using plastic cooking containers, make sure that they are heat- and steam-resistant to 100 °C. Otherwise they may melt, distort or break.

~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.

~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.

~Do not leave cooked food in the oven and do not use any cooking containers which are susceptible to corrosion as this could lead to corrosion in the appliance.

~The appliance is designed in such a way that there will always be a little residual water left in the water container after use. If there is no residual water, there is something wrong. Call the Ser- vice Department.

~Do not immerse the water container in water, or clean it in a dishwasher. Connecting the water container into the appliance when wet could cause an electric shock.

~For reasons of hygiene and to prevent the build-up of moisture in the appliance, the water container should be emptied after each use.

~Take care not to tip the water container when taking it out of the appliance. Hot water can scald.
