Warning and Safety instructions

~Ovenproof earthenware can retain a considerable amount of moisture. Eartherware and porcelain containers with hollow handles and lid knobs must only be used in this oven if they have vent holes which allow the moisture to escape. Without vent holes pressure can build up, causing the container to crack or shatter with the danger of injury.

~When grilling with or without the microwave function, the oven interior, grill element and door can get hot. Do not let small children touch the oven while it is in operation, as there is the danger of being burnt. Supervise its use by elderly or infirm people.

~Wear oven gloves when placing dishes in, and taking them out of the oven, or when handling dishes or food in the oven if the grill is on or has just been in operation. Danger of burning.

~The gourmet plate gets extremely hot when in use. Always use oven gloves when handling it to avoid burns. Place it on a suitable heat-resistant mat or pot rest.

The rack and glass tray get hot during grilling (with and without the microwave function).

Take care not to burn yourself on them.

~Never place the hot glass tray (or any other hot cooking containers) on a cold surface, such as a tiled or granite worktop. The glass tray or container could crack or shatter, and the worktop surface could get damaged. Use a suitable heat-resistant mat or pot rest.

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

~When using kitchen appliances connected to sockets near the appliance, ensure that the cable cannot get trapped in a hot oven door, which could melt the cable insulation and be dangerous.

~To check food temperature, first interrupt the cooking process. Only use a thermometer specifically approved for food use to measure the temperature of the food. Never use a thermometer containing mercury or liquid, as these are not suitable for use with very high temperatures and will break very easily.

~Do not use a steam-cleaning appliance to clean this appliance. Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

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