For Your Safety; Things To Watch For; Before Use Of The Oven - Pelgrim OKW 953 Anleitung

Things to watch for

The appliance should only be connected by
a qualified fitter (see electrical connection).
Disconnect the appliance before starting
with cleaning or reparation. Preferably by
taking the plug out of the socket or by
turning off the mains switch.
The glass oven door can heat up (to a max.
of 100 °C) when using the oven at maximum
temperature for a long time (e.g. during
grilling). Act with care if children are
nearby.
Grease and oil are flammable when over-
heated. Stay near the cooker when
preparing dishes.
Cords to electrical appliances – e.g.
a mixer – can get caught between the door
of the convector oven or may accidentally
touch the cooking zones.
Always cool the oven with a closed oven
door.
Always grill with a closed oven door.

Before use of the oven

Prepare for use
Remove all accessories from the oven and
clean them thoroughly using a dish-
washing detergent. Switch on the closed,
empty oven at the maximum temperature
for about thirty minutes, after which the
grilling element should be switched on for
a period of fifteen minutes. Let the oven
cool off and clean it with warm water.
Please note:
When the oven is heated to a high
temperature for the first time, you will smell a
"new appliance" odour. This is to be
expected.
Do not use aluminium foil
Never cover the base of the oven with
aluminium foil and do not put baking tins on
the base of the oven. The foil will block the
heat, damaging the enamel, and the baking
result will therefore not be satisfactory.
Clean immediately
Spilled foods with sugar or fruit juices,
such as prune juice or rhubarb, may affect
the colour of the enamel. Spills of this type
should be cleaned immediately.
