Always ensure that food or a
browning dish has been placed in
the microwave, and that the turntable is
in place, before switching on.
Do not leave the oven unattended
when cooking with oils and fats as
these can be a fire hazard if allowed to
overheat.
Ovenproof earthenware can retain
a considerable amount of moisture.
Earthenware 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 there can
be a pressure build-up, causing the
container to crack or shatter, with the
danger of injury.
With all functions except micro-
wave solo mode the rack, oven in-
terior, grill element, side runners, door
and housing can get hot! Do not let
small children touch the oven while it is
in operation, there is the danger of be-
ing burnt. Supervise its use by the el
-
derly or infirm.
Wear oven gloves when taking
dishes in and out of the oven, or
when handling dishes or food in the
oven if the grill is on or has just been in
operation.
The rack, glass tray and baking
tray become hot when the oven is
in operation. Take care not to burn your
-
self on them!
Only use the baking tray with the
fan heat function. It must not be
used with the microwave function.
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 con
-
tainer could crack or shatter, and the
worktop surface could get damaged.
Use a heat-resistant mat or wire cooling
rack.
Do not use the oven to heat up the
room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects left near the oven
could catch fire.
Do not use the appliance as a rest
-
ing place for other items. The heat
from the top of the appliance could
cause some kinds of items to melt.
To check the temperature of the
food, first interrupt the cooking pro-
cess. Then use a thermometer specifi-
cally 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.
Never use a steam-cleaning appli
-
ance to clean this appliance. Pres
-
surised steam could reach the electri
-
cal components and cause a short cir
-
cuit.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the appli
-
ance and its surroundings in a clean
condition at all times. Any damage
which may be caused by cockroaches
or other vermin will not be covered by
the appliance guarantee.
