Appliance safety
considerations
The appliance should only be used for
the preparation of food.
The surfaces of heating and cooking
appliances get hot during operation.
The interior oven walls and the heating
elements get extremely hot. Always
keep children away from the appliance.
Never leave the appliance unattended
when cooking with fat or oil. They can
catch fire if overheated.
Clean the oven regularly.
Fatty or oily remants could ignite when
the oven is switched on.
Make sure that the power cord never
comes into contact with the hotplates,
and does not get caught in the hot oven
door. The plastic insulation could melt.
In the case of a defect, switch off (or
remove) the mains fuse in the building
electrical system.
Do not store combustible items in the
oven. They could ignite if the oven is
switched on accidentally. Do not place
any objects on the hob which might
catch fire.
Do not clean the oven with steam or
high-pressure cleaners.
Before Using Your Appliance for the First Time
Preliminary cleaning:
1. Clean the appliance exterior with a soft
moistened cloth.
2. Clean the oven and the accessories with
a hot detergent solution.

Important Information
Initial burn-in
1. Heat the empty oven for approx.
Do not insert a baking sheet at the
bottom of the oven, or cover it with
aluminium foil, because a heat build-up
would result. Roasting and baking times
would change, and the enamel would
be damaged.
Never pour water directly into the hot
oven. Damage to the enamel could
result.
Fruit juices dripping from the baking
sheet leave spots that cannot be
removed later. For baking, use the
deeper universal baking pan.
Never stand or sit on the open oven
door.
The oven door must close properly.
Keep the door sealing surfaces clean.
30 minutes.
Select top and bottom heat at a setting
of 240° C.
During the initial burn-in phase, please
open the kitchen windows to dissipate
unpleasant odours.
