Surfaces might get damaged by
some detergents or cleaning
materials. Do not use

powders/creams or any sharp
objects during cleaning. Do not
use harsh abrasive cleaners or

Tips for saving energy
The following information will help you to use
your appliance in an ecological way, and to
save energy:
Use dark coloured or enamel coated
•
cookware in the oven since the heat
transmission will be better.
While cooking your dishes, perform a
•
preheating operation if it is advised in the
user manual or cooking instructions.
Do not open the door of the oven
•
frequently during cooking.
Try to cook more than one dish in the oven
•
at the same time whenever possible. You
can cook by placing two cooking vessels
onto the wire shelf.
Cook more than one dish one after
•
another. The oven will already be hot.
You can save energy by switching off your
•
oven a few minutes before the end of the
cooking time. Do not open the oven door.
Defrost frozen dishes before cooking
•
them.

Future Transportation

Keep the appliances original carton and
•
transport the appliance in it. Follow the
instructions on the carton. If you do not
have the original carton, pack the
appliance in bubble wrap or thick
cardboard and tape it securely.
To prevent the wire grill and tray inside the
•
oven from damaging the oven door, place
a strip of cardboard onto the inside of the
oven door that lines up with the position of
the trays. Tape the oven door to the side
walls.
Do not use the door or handle to lift or
•
move the appliance.
