WARNING
Risks in handling household
electrical appliances
Risk of electric shock!
Touching live parts may result in severe
injury or death.
■ Only use the appliance indoors and
not in damp rooms.
■ Do not operate or continue to oper-
ate the appliance if
– it shows visible signs of damage,
for example, the connection cable
is defective;
– it starts smoking or there is a burn-
ing smell;
– it makes unusual sounds.
In such cases, switch off the circuit
breakers/unscrew fuses and contact
our Service Centre (see "Our service"
on page EN-35).
■ Do not kink or pinch the mains cord
or lay it over sharp edges.
■ If the mains cord of the appliance is
damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, through customer ser
-
vice or by a qualified specialist.
■ Only an authorised electrician who
is approved by the local power sup
-
ply company, for example, our tech-
nician (see "Our service" on page
EN-35), may connect the appliance to
the mains supply. Only then will you
benefit from our warranty and a suf
-
ficient level of safety. Unauthorised
persons may not connect the appli
-
ance to the mains supply. You can
endanger your life and that of subse
-
quent users! This also applies to dis-
connection from the power supply
and dismantling the old appliance.
■ As the appliance can not be discon-
nected from the mains via an acces-
sible disconnecting device, an all-pole
disconnecting device in accordance
with overvoltage category III must
be connected within the house in
-
stallation with at least 3 mm contact
clearance; this includes fuses, circuit
breakers and guards.
■ Do not change the mains connection.
■ Before connecting the device, switch
off the relevant electric circuit(s)
(switch off circuit breakers or unscrew
fuses).
■ Never open the housing.
■ Never try to repair a defective or sus-
pected defective appliance yourself.
You can put your own and future us
-
ers’ lives in danger. Only authorised
specialists are allowed to carry out
this repair work.
■ Do not operate the appliance with an
external timer or a separate remote
control system.
■ Do not put any objects in or through
the housing openings and also make
sure that children cannot insert any
objects through them.
■ To replace the cooking compartment
light, first switch off the oven, then
switch off the circuit breaker(s)/un
-
screw the fuse(s). Only replace the
light bulb when the oven is no longer
hot.
■ If there are cracks in the glass ceram-
ic hob, do not continue to cook on it.
Instead immediately disconnect the
hob from the mains supply (switch
off circuit breaker(s)/unscrew fuse[s])
and then contact our Service Centre
(see "Our service" on page EN-35).
