General safety
This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction
concerning the use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
Connect the appliance to an earthed outlet/line
protected by a fuse of suitable capacity. Have the
earth installation made by a qualified electrician.
Our company shall not be liable for any
problems arising due to the appliance not being
earthed in accordance with the local regulations.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similar qualified persons in order to avoid a
hazard.
Do not operate the appliance if it is defective or
has any visible damage.
Do not carry out any repairs or modifications on
the appliance.
Never wash down the appliance with water!
There is the risk of electric shock!
Never use the appliance when your judgment or
coordination is impaired by the use of alcohol
and/or drugs.
The appliance must be disconnected from the
mains during installation, maintenance, cleaning
and repair procedures.
Be careful when using alcoholic drinks in your
dishes. Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures
and may cause a fire since it can ignite when it
comes into contact with hot surfaces.
Do not heat closed tins and glass jars in the oven.
The pressure that would build up in the tin/jar
may cause it to burst.
Do not place baking trays, dishes or aluminium
foil directly onto the bottom of the oven. The
heat accumulation might damage the bottom of
the oven.
Keep all ventilation slots clear of obstructions.
The appliance may be hot when it is in use.
Never touch the hot burners, inner sections of
the oven or heaters etc.
Always use heat resistant oven gloves when
putting in or removing dishes from the hot oven.
Do not use the appliance with the front door
glass removed or cracked.
The rear surface of the oven gets hot when it is
in use. Make sure that the electrical connection
does not come into contact with the rear surface
as connections may get damaged.
Do not trap the mains cable between the oven
door and frame and do not route it over hot
surfaces as the cable insulation may melt and
cause a fire as a result of a short circuit.
Make sure that the function knobs are switched
off after every use.
When using gas, ensure that the room is well
ventilated.
Always keep children and infirm persons away
from the appliance when it is in use.
Only use the appliance for preparing food.
Use a deep pan, large enough to cover the
appropriate burner.
Always dry food thoroughly before placing it in
hot oil or fat. Frozen food in particular will spit
and splatter if added too quickly.
Never fill the pan more than one third full of fat
or oil.
Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan.
Do not fry too much food at once. This lowers
the temperature of the oil or fat and results in
fatty foods.
Do not leave hot fat or oil unattended. If
overheating occurs, these could catch fire.
Do not store flammable items in the oven.
Always keep the oven door gasket clean.
