2 Preventing material damage
2.1 General
ATTENTION!
Alcoholic vapours may catch fire in the hot cooking
compartment and cause permanent damage to the ap-
pliance. The appliance door may spring open due to
an explosion and it may fall off. The door panels may
shatter and fragment. Due to the resulting negative
pressure, the cooking compartment may become con-
siderably deformed inwards.
Do not heat spirits (≥ 15% vol.) when undiluted (e.g.
▶
for marinating or pouring over food).
If there is water on the cooking compartment floor
when operating the appliance at temperatures above
120 °C, this will damage the enamel.
Do not use the appliance if there is water on the
▶
cooking compartment floor.
Wipe away any water on the cooking compartment
▶
floor before operation.
Objects on the cooking compartment floor at over
50 °C will cause heat to build up. The baking and
roasting times will no longer be correct and the enamel
will be damaged.
Do not place any accessories, greaseproof paper or
▶
foil of any kind on the cooking compartment floor.
Only place cookware on the cooking compartment
▶
floor if a temperature above 50 °C has been set.
Using silicone moulds or any film, covers or accessor-
ies that contain silicone could damage the baking
sensor. Damage may occur even if the baking sensor
is not active.
Do not use silicone moulds or any film, covers or
▶
accessories that contain silicone.
Never place objects made of silicone in the cooking
▶
compartment.
When the cooking compartment is hot, any water in-
side it will create steam. The change in temperature
may cause damage.
Never pour water into the cooking compartment
▶
when it is still hot.
Never place cookware containing water on the
▶
cooking compartment floor.
3 Environmental protection and saving energy
3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compat-
ible and can be recycled.
Sort the individual components by type and dispose
▶
of them separately.
Preventing material damage en
The prolonged presence of moisture in the cooking
compartment leads to corrosion.
Allow the cooking compartment to dry after use.
▶
Do not keep moist food in the cooking compartment
▶
for a long time with the door closed.
Do not store food in the cooking compartment.
▶
Leaving the appliance to cool down with the door open
will damage the front of neighbouring kitchen units over
time.
Always allow the cooking compartment to cool
▶
down with the door closed after cooking at high
temperatures.
Take care not to trap anything in the appliance
▶
door.
Only leave the cooking compartment to dry with the
▶
door open if a lot of moisture was produced during
operation.
Fruit juice dripping from the baking tray leaves stains
that cannot be removed.
When baking very juicy fruit flans, do not pack too
▶
much on the baking tray.
If possible, use the deeper universal pan.
▶
Using oven cleaner in a hot cooking compartment
damages the enamel.
Never use oven cleaner in the cooking compartment
▶
when it is still warm.
Remove all food remnants from the cooking com-
▶
partment and the appliance door before you next
heat up the appliance.
If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no
longer close properly during operation. This may dam-
age the front of adjacent kitchen units.
Keep the seal clean at all times.
▶
Never operate the appliance if the seal is damaged
▶
or missing.
Sitting or placing objects on the appliance door may
damage it.
Do not place, hang or support objects on the appli-
▶
ance door.
Do not place cookware or accessories on the appli-
▶
ance door.
With certain models, accessories may scratch the door
pane when closing the appliance door.
Always push accessories fully into the cooking com-
▶
partment.
3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less power.
Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the recom-
mended settings tell you to do so.
¡ Not preheating the appliance can reduce the en-
ergy used by up to 20%.
Use dark-coloured, black-coated or enamelled baking
tins.
¡ These types of baking tin absorb the heat particu-
larly well.
