A. Safety recommendations Food cannot be heated directly in a bottle or tin as the bottle or tin could break and contents could scald the user Take care during and immediately after use. The metal parts and glass window of the door become extremely hot during use. Take care not to touch them when opening and closing the door. Oven surfaces may be hot when in use Always use the handle when inserting or removing the tray. Touching the tray may cause severe burns. When hot, do not apply water to the glass window. It may cause the glass to break. When unplugging the oven, always take hold of the plug itself. Never pull on the cord. This could break the wires inside the cord. Do not position the oven near a gas burner or any other heat source, and do not direct an electric fan, etc, at the unit during use. Doing so could affect the temperature control. Do not touch the power cable or unit with wet hands. Always unplug the cord after use and whenever the unit is left unattended. A malfunction while the plug is inserted into the mains could cause a fire. When cooking fat-spitting dishes such as roast chicken, it is recommended to use 2 sheets of aluminium foil in order to reduce fat spitting. Place one sheet on the tray and the other over the food. The oil will drip in to the gap between the sheets of foil. B. Technical data Model no.
