2. Other important safety warnings
The appliance is intended for household use. Do not use it for any other purpose, such as room heating,
drying of pets or other animals, paper, fabrics, herbs etc. As this may lead to injury or fire hazard.
Appliance must be connected to fixed wiring which has incorporated means of disconnection. Fixed
wiring must be made in accordance with the wiring rules.
We recommend that (due to appliance weight) at least two persons carry and install the appliance.
Do not lift the appliance by holding it by the door handle.
Oven door hinges may be damaged when under excessive load. Do not stand or sit on the open oven
door, and do not lean against it. Also, do not place any heavy objects onto the oven door.
If the power cords of other appliances located in the vicinity of the oven become entangled in the
oven door, they may get damaged, which may cause a short circuit. Therefore, make sure that the
power cords of other appliances are at a safe distance.
Make sure the vents are never covered or obstructed in any other way.
Do not line the oven walls with aluminium foil and do not place baking trays or other containers on
the bottom of the oven. This would reduce air circulation in the oven, obstruct and slow down the
baking process and destroy the enamel coating.
We recommend you avoid opening the oven door during baking, as this increases power consumption
and increases condensate accumulation.
At the end of the baking process, and during baking, be careful when opening the oven door, as there
is danger of scalding.
To prevent limescale accumulation, leave the oven door open after baking or using the oven, to allow
the oven cavity to cool down to room temperature.
Clean the oven when it has completely cooled down.
Eventual mismatches in colour shades between different appliances or components within a single
design line may occur due to various factors, such as different angles under which the appliances are
observed, different coloured backgrounds, materials, and room illumination.
Do not use the appliance if it is damaged. Unplug the appliance from the power mains and call an
authorized service centre.
The oven can be safely used with or without baking pan guides.
Do not store items in the oven, which could cause danger when the oven is switched on.
Before you activate automatic cleaning, carefully read and observe all instructions in the chapter
Cleaning and Maintenance, which describes correct and safe use of this function
Do not place anything on the oven bottom during the automatic cleaning process.
Risk of fire! During automatic cleaning, the appliance is heated to very high temperatures, which will
incinerate food residues in the appliance. Therefore, remove visible dirt from the inside of the oven
and from the utensils before each use. Smoke, irritating fumes and gases may also come from the
oven while the cleaning function is active. Therefore, make sure that the room is well-ventilated while
you carry out this procedure. Small animals or pets can be very sensitive to any fumes that might
come out from the oven. It is recommended to remove them from the room during operation and to
ventilate the room well after cleaning.
Do not open the oven door during cleaning.
