Causes Of Damage - Midea 310503 Installation Instructions & User Manual

Causes of Damage

1. Accessories, foil, greaseproof paper or ovenware on the cavity floor: do not place
accessories on the cavity floor. Do not cover the cavity floor with any sort of foil or
greaseproof paper. Do not place ovenware on the cavity floor if a temperature of
over 50 ºC has been set. This will cause heat to accumulate. The enamel will be
damaged.
2. Aluminum foil: Aluminum foil in the cavity must not come into contact with the door
glass. This could cause permanent discoloration of the door glass.
3. Silicone pans: Do not use any silicone pans, or any mats, covers or accessories that
contain silicone. The oven sensor may be damaged.
4. Water in a hot cooking compartment: do not pour water into the cavity when it is
hot. This will cause steam. The temperature change can cause damage to the enamel.
5. Moisture in the cavity: Over an extended period of time, moisture in the cavity may
lead to corrosion. Allow the appliance to dry after use. Do not keep moist food in the
closed cavity for extended periods of time. Do not store food in the cavity.
6. Cooling with the appliance door open: Following operation at high temperatures, only
allow the appliance 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 appliance to dry with the door open
if a lot of moisture was produced while the oven was operating.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Appliance door as a seat, shelf or worktop: Do not sit on the appliance door or place
or hang anything on it. Do not place any cookware or accessories on the appliance
door.
10. Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance model, accessories can scratch the
door panel when closing the appliance door. Always insert the accessories into the
cavity as far as they will go.
11. Carrying the appliance: do not carry or hold the appliance by the door handle. The
door handle cannot support the weight of the appliance and could break.
12. If you use the residual heat of the switched off oven to keep food warm, a high
moisture content inside the cavity can occur. This may lead to condensation and can
cause corrosion damage of your high quality appliance as well as harm your kitchen.
Avoid condensation by opening the door or use "Defrost" mode.
