Caution!

Accessories, foil, greaseproof paper or ovenware on

■

the cooking compartment floor: do not place

accessories on the cooking compartment floor. Do

not cover the cooking compartment floor with any

sort of foil or greaseproof paper. Do not place

ovenware on the cooking compartment floor if a

temperature of over 50 ºC has been set. This will

cause heat to accumulate. The baking and roasting

times will no longer be correct and the enamel will

be damaged.

Aluminium foil: Aluminium foil in the cooking

■

compartment must not come into contact with the

door glass. This could cause permanent

discolouration of the door glass.

Water in a hot cooking compartment: do not pour

■

water into the cooking compartment when it is hot.

This will cause steam. The temperature change can

cause damage to the enamel.

Moisture in the cooking compartment: Over an

■

extended period of time, moisture in the cooking

compartment may lead to corrosion. Allow the

cooking compartment to dry after use. Do not keep

moist food in the closed cooking compartment for

extended periods of time. Do not store food in the

cooking compartment.

Cooling with the appliance door open: Following

■

operation at high temperatures, only allow the

cooking compartment to cool down with the door

closed. Do not trap anything in the appliance door.

Even if the door is only left open a crack, the front of

nearby furniture may become damaged over time.

Only leave the cooking compartment to dry with the

door open if a lot of moisture was produced whilst

the oven was operating.

Fruit juice: when baking particularly juicy fruit pies,

■

do not pack the baking tray too generously. Fruit

juice dripping from the baking tray leaves stains that

cannot be removed. If possible, use the deeper

universal pan.

Extremely dirty seal: If the seal is very dirty, the

■

appliance door will no longer close properly during

operation. The fronts of adjacent units could be

damaged. Always keep the seal clean. Never

operate the appliance if the seal is damaged or

missing. ~ "Cleaning" on page 18

model, accessories can scratch the door panel

when closing the appliance door. Always insert the

appliance by the door handle. The door handle

cannot support the weight of the appliance and
