Things to watch for
The appliance should only be connected by a
n
qualified fitter (see electrical connection).
Disconnect the appliance before starting with
n
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 when using
n
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-
n
heated. Stay near the cooker when preparing
dishes.
Cords to electrical appliances – e.g.
n
a mixer – can get caught between the door of
the convector oven or may accidentally touch
the cooking zones.
Always grill with a closed oven door.
n
Always cool the oven with a closed oven door.
n
Before use of the oven
Prepare for use
Remove all accessories from the oven and
n
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.
No aluminium foil on the oven base
Never cover the base of the oven with aluminium
n
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
n
prune juice or rhubarb, may affect the colour
of the enamel. Spills of this type should be
cleaned immediately.
