Breville® Recommends Safety First

At Breville®, safety is paramount. Breville designs and manufactures consumer products with customer safety in mind. Users are advised to exercise care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE AND SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

• Remove and discard all packaging materials safely before use.
• Ensure the product is properly assembled before first use and fully unwind the power cord before operating.
• To eliminate a choking hazard for young children, safely dispose of the protective cover fitted on the power plug.
• Before first use, ensure your electricity supply matches the rating label on the appliance's underside. Contact your local electricity company if you have concerns.
• The appliance must be used with a properly grounded outlet. Consult an electrician if unsure about grounding.
• Do not modify the power plug or use an adapter.
• Consult a qualified electrician if grounding instructions are unclear.
• It is recommended to operate the oven on a dedicated circuit separated from other appliances. Consult a licensed and qualified electrician if unsure.
• The appliance enters standby mode when plugged in or after operation.
• Installation of a residual current safety switch (rated not more than 30mA) is recommended for additional safety. Consult an electrician.
• The appliance is not intended for operation by external timers or separate remote-control systems.
• Regularly inspect the power cord, plug, and appliance for damage. Cease use and return to an authorized Breville Service Center if damaged.
• Do not let the power cord hang over edges or touch hot surfaces. Do not let it become knotted.
• If leaving unattended, cleaning, moving, or storing, switch off, unplug, and allow to cool completely.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended when in use. Do not move it while in operation.
• Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
• Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or near children.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless supervised or instructed by a responsible person.
• Cleaning and user maintenance should not be done by children unless they are older than 8 and supervised. Keep the appliance and cord out of reach of children.
• Position the appliance on a clean, stable, heat-resistant, level, dry surface away from heat sources.
• A fire may occur if the oven is covered or touches flammable material (curtains, draperies, walls) during operation.
• The oven is not suitable for use in small appliance enclosures. Ensure adequate space (minimum 4 inches / 10 cm on sides, 6 inches / 15 cm above).
• The outer housing may be hot during and after cooking. Do not touch hot surfaces. Keep children away to avoid burns and scalds. Keep power cords clear from the oven housing.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and knobs. Use extreme caution when removing hot pans, dishes, or accessories containing hot oil or liquids.
• Do not place cooking utensils, roasting pans, or dishes on the glass door.
• The oven glass door is specially treated but not unbreakable. Hard impacts may cause it to break or shatter.
• Do not leave the door standing open for extended periods.
• Do not store items on top of the oven during operation.
• Do not place cardboard, plastic, paper, or other flammable materials in the oven.
• Do not cover the crumb tray or any part of the oven with metal foil, as this causes overheating.
• Use caution with pans/dishes not made of metal; ensure they are oven-safe.
• Use caution with lids in the oven, as pressure build-up can cause hot ingredients to expel or the dish to crack. Do not place sealed or airtight containers in the oven.
• Oversized food and metal utensils must not be inserted as they may create fire or risk of electric shock.
• Exercise caution when cooking foods with high oil content (e.g., pine nuts, walnuts). Broiling or cooking at high temperatures may cause fire. If a fire occurs, keep the door closed, turn off and unplug the oven; the flame will usually self-extinguish. Do not leave unattended until the fire is out and the oven has cooled.
• Always use the oven as directed. Do not cook foods that may melt and drip onto the wire rack (e.g., cheese), as this can contact heating elements and cause a fire risk.
• Do not use attachments not provided or recommended by Breville, as they may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
• This appliance is for household use only. Do not use for unintended purposes, in moving vehicles, boats, or outdoors. Misuse may cause injury.
• Consumer can perform cleaning and general maintenance. Service, damage, and repair should be done by an authorized Breville Service Center.
• Improper use or unprofessional repair voids the warranty.
• Do not clean with metal scouring pads; pieces can break off and touch electrical parts, causing electric shock.
• Do not use a steam cleaner.
• Do not use rough, abrasive cleaning tools or sharp metal objects on the oven door glass, as this may cause scratches and breakage.
• Regularly clean the crumb tray. To clean: Turn OFF the oven, allow to cool, unplug, remove and clean with warm soapy water, dry thoroughly. Reinsert securely.
