IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ~ Do not leave the appliance unattended when cooking with oil or grease. These items may ignite if overheated. Danger of burns. ~ Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires - Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. ~ Do not use the oven to heat the room. ~ Keep the oven vent ducts open. ~ Excessive cooking times result in the drying out and possibly spontaneous combustion of the food. Maintain the recommended cooking times. ~ Some foods dry out quickly and can ignite due to the high grill temperatures. Never use broil modes for baking rolls or bread and for drying flowers or herbs. Use the "Convection Bake" or "Surround" modes. ~ Leave the oven door closed when food in the oven interior starts to smoke so as to smother any flames. Cancel the operation by turning the Combi Steam Oven off and unplugging the power cord. Open the door only after the smoke has dissipated. ~ Be careful when using alcoholic beverages like rum, whiskey, wine etc. for baking or roasting. The alcohol evaporates at high temperatures but may in rare circumstances combust on the hot heating elements. ~ Always place oven racks and pans in desired location while the oven is cool. If they must be removed while the oven is hot, do not let the potholders contact hot heating elements in the oven. ~ When handling cooking pans take care not to let the contents spill, and that you do not come into contact with either hot steam or the hot oven walls. Danger of scalding and burns. ~ Pans must be heat resistant up to 212°F (100°C). Otherwise they may melt at high temperatures in the oven. Follow the cookware manufacturers instructions. ~ Do not leave cooked foods in the cooking compartment. Do not use items in the steam oven which may rust. This could lead to the corrosion of the appliance. ~ Do not use silicone baking pans in the Combi Steam/Convection Bake, they are not steam-resistant. ~ Do not place pots, pans, baking sheets or cooking pans directly on the oven floor. ~ Never line the oven floor with aluminum foil and do not use protective foil coverings available in retail stores to protect the oven from soiling. They affect the cooking and baking performance significantly and block the steam inlet. 9
