If the oven is positioned too close to a wall, this wall can be burned or discoloured. Ensure that curtains, etc. are not in contact with the oven.

Do not put anything between the base of the oven and the surface on which it is set. Any object placed under the oven may be burned. Do not put anything on the top of the oven when it is in use because the heat can deform, crack or otherwise damage the item. Do not heat food directly in the bottle or tin because the container may break and the content can burn the user.

Always use the handle when inserting or removing the tray. Touching the tray may cause severe burns.

Never pour water on the oven door when it is hot, the glass can shatter.

When unplugging the oven, always take hold of the plug itself. Never pull on the cord; this could break the wires inside the cord.

During the use, do not position the oven near a gas burner or any other heat source. Doing this 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 face spitting. Place one sheet on the tray and the other over the food. The oil will drip into the gap between the sheets of foil.
