Warning and Safety instructions Correct use For safety reasons, the appliance must only be used after it has been built in. This is necessary to ensure that all electrical components are shielded. This appliance is intended for domestic use only and is not to be used for commercial purposes. This appliance must only be used as described in these instructions. Any other usage is at the owner's risk and could be dangerous.
Warning and Safety instructions Safety with children To safeguard against burning, keep children well away from the appliance at all times. This is particularly important when the appliance is in operation as children might attempt to open the door. Use the safety features to prevent children operating the appliance or altering the settings. The appliance is only intended for use by adults who have read these instructions.
Warning and Safety instructions Protecting the appliance from damage Do not use the appliance to heat up food in sealed jars and tins. Pressure will build up inside them and they can explode causing damage to the appliance, as well as the risk of injury and scalding. Do not store cooked food in the oven. The moisture in the food can lead to corrosion in the appliance. Do not use metallic containers or utensils in the oven which are likely to rust. This can cause corrosion.
Warning and Safety instructions Protection from burning and scalding For added protection, it is advisable to use heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when using the appliance. Do not let them get damp or wet, as this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself. When putting cooking containers or the condensate tray into the oven or taking them out, take care not to spill the contents.
Warning and Safety instructions Futher safety notes When using an electric socket near the appliance, care should be taken that the cable of the appliance cannot get trapped by the appliance door. The insulation on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock hazard. Always ensure that food is sufficiently cooked or reheated. Some foods, e.g. poultry, may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking at a sufficiently high temperature for long enough.
Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing material The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled. Packaging, e.g. cling film, polystyrene and plastic wrappings, must be kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.

Practical tips Tips on steaming – In general, the cooking durations for cooking with steam are the same as for cooking food in a saucepan. – Steam prevents food from drying out so it remains moist, and juices are not lost. This applies to a wide variety of food, including dumplings, steam puddings, fish and meat dishes, as well as vegetables. – You can select any shelf level. You can also cook on several levels at the same time. This will not alter the cooking duration.
Practical tips – Grease perforated containers beforehand if using them to cook fish, and solid containers if using to cook dishes containing eggs. – When cooking fish or food with a distinctive colour (e.g. spinach) in a perforated container, place the container directly above the condensate tray to avoid any transfer of tastes or colour to other food. – The weight entry in the Automatic programmes refers to the weight per piece.
