Warning and Safety instructions

If you wish to leave food in the oven after cooking, e.g. to take advantage of the residual heat, do not

turn the oven off. Simply select the lowest temperature and leave the function at the position set.

Do not switch the appliance off until the food has been removed.

Otherwise, moisture in the oven could lead to condensation forming on the control panel and surrounding kitchen furniture and drops of moisture collecting under the worktop. Condensation can:

-damage the housing unit / worktop.

-lead to moisture damage in the oven.

It could also result in deposits remaining in the catalyser, causing an unpleasant smell to arise the next time the appliance is switched on.

Bake larger deep-frozen items such as pizzas on baking paper on

the rack itself or in the pizza pan (see "Extra accessories"). Placing them on the baking tray or in the grill pan can cause the metal to distort. This distortion would increase with subsequent use.

Deep frozen foods such as oven chips or potato croquettes can be cooked on the baking tray or grill pan.

Never add water to food on a hot baking tray or grill pan or directly

onto food in a hot oven. The steam created could cause serious burns or scalding and the sudden change in temperature can damage the enamel.

Never line the floor of the oven with aluminium foil when using

Conventional top and bottom heat, Bottom heat or Intensive bake. Do not place a dish, tin, baking tray or grill pan on the floor of the oven.

If using a grill pan or baking tray made by a different manufacturer make sure that there is a gap of at least 6 cm between the bottom of the pan and the floor of the oven.

If these instructions are not observed the bottom heat will be blocked. This can cause permanent damage to the floor of the oven.

Protective aluminium foil panels are available in retail outlets which are

supposed to protect the oven cavity from soiling and reduce the need for cleaning. If used, cooking and baking times will increase considerably. They can also cause damage to the appliance (e.g. by blocking the heat).

General notes

Never leave the appliance unattended when cooking with oils

and fats as these are a fire hazard if allowed to overheat.

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

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