Warning and safety instructions

￿Do not line the floor of the oven with aluminium foil when using "Conventional ￿"/"Bottom

heat ￿"/"Intensive bake ￿"/"Rapid heat-up ￿".

This would cause a build-up of heat which could cause damage to the floor of the oven.

For this reason do not place a dish, tin or baking tray directly on the oven floor.

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

￿Never add cold water to food on a hot universal tray or baking tray 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.

￿Always ensure that food is suitably cooked or reheated.

Some foods may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking at temperatures over 70 °C for a minimum of 10 minutes. Therefore when cooking or reheating foods, e.g. poultry, it is particularly 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 during cooking.

￿If using plastic containers for cooking, these must be declared by the manufacturer as being suitable for use in an oven. Other types of plastic containers melt at high temperatures, and could damage the oven.

￿Do not heat up unopened tins or jars of food in the oven. Pressure can build up and they may explode, resulting in injury or damage.

￿Do not push pots and pans around on the oven floor, as this could damage the surface.

￿Do not lean or sit on an open oven door, or place heavy items on it. Make sure that nothing gets trapped between the door and the oven compartment. This could damage the oven.

The oven door can support a maximum load of 15 kg.

￿Do not use the appliance to heat up the room. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects near the appliance could catch fire.
