Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
 Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces and steam. The steam oven gets hot during operation. You could burn yourself on the heater ele- ments, oven compartment, side runners, accessories, food or steam. Use oven gloves when placing hot food in the appliance or removing it and when working in the hot oven compartment.
 Risk of injury caused by hot food.
Food may spill or splash around when placing it into the oven or re- moving it. The food can cause burns.
When placing cooking containers into the oven or removing them, make sure that the hot food does not spill.
 Do not use the steam oven to heat up or bottle 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.
 Plastic containers which are not suitable for use in an oven melt at high temperatures and can damage the steam oven or catch fire. Only use plastic containers which are declared by the manufacturer as being suitable for use in an oven. Follow the manufacturer's in- structions on use. If you want to use plastic containers for steaming food make sure that they are temperature resistant to 100 °C and steam resistant. Any other plastic containers could melt, become brittle or break when subjected to heat.
 Food which is stored in the oven compartment can dry out and the moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in the steam oven. Do not leave food in the oven compartment and do not use any cooking containers which are susceptible to corrosion.
 Risk of injury from the open door. You could bang into the open door or trip over it. Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.
