Warning and Safety instructions

General notes

Do not leave the appliance unat- tended when cooking with oils and

fats as these can be a fire hazard if allowed to overheat.

Do not use the oven to heat up the room. Due to the high tempera-

tures radiated, objects left near the oven or hob could catch fire.

Always ensure that food is suffi- ciently cooked or reheated. Many

factors will affect the overall cooking time, including the size and amount of food, its temperature, changes to the recipe and the shape and size of cook- ing container. Some foods may contain micro organisms which are only de- stroyed by thorough cooking at tem- peratures over 70º C for a minimum of 10 minutes. Therefore when cooking or reheating foods, e.g. poultry, it is par- ticularly important that food is fully cooked through. If in doubt select a longer cooking or reheating time.

It is important that the heat is allowed to spread evenly throughout the food being cooked. This can be achieved by stirring and/or turning the food, and by observing a sufficiently long stand- ing time which should be added to the time needed for cooking, reheating or defrosting.

When using kitchen appliances connected to sockets near the

oven, ensure that the cable cannot come into contact with hot cooking zones or get trapped in a hot oven door, which could melt the cable insula- tion and be dangerous. Danger of elec- tric shock.

Under no circumstances use a steam cleaner to clean this ap- pliance. The steam could attack the electrical components and cause a

short circuit.

Using alcohol in your recipes: Often alcoholic drinks such as

rum, cognac, wine, etc are used when preparing dishes and oven-cooking them.

The high temperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporise.

Please take note that under adverse cir- cumstances the alcohol can catch light on the hot heating elements.

In countries which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or

other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surround- ings in a clean condition at all times.

Any damage which might be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.

Disposal of your old machine

Before discarding an old machine switch off and disconnect it from

the power supply. This should be done by a competent person. Cut off and ren- der any plug useless.

Cut off the cable directly behind the machine to prevent misuse.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non- compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.
