2 Preventing material damage
2.1 General

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

1.6 Steam
Follow these instructions when using a steam
function.
WARNING ‒ Risk of scalding!
The water in the water tank may become very
hot if you operate the appliance for long peri-
ods.
▶ Always empty the water tank after using the
steam function.
Hot steam is generated in the cooking com-
partment.
▶ Do not reach into the cooking compartment
when using steam.
Hot liquid may spill over the sides of the ac-
cessory when it is removed from the cooking
compartment.
▶ Remove hot accessories with care and al-
ways wear oven gloves.
WARNING ‒ Risk of fire!
Due to the hot surfaces, vapours from flam-
mable liquids may catch fire in the cooking
compartment (explosion). The appliance door
may spring open. Hot steam and jets of flame
may escape.
▶ Do not pour flammable liquids (e.g. alco-
holic drinks) into the water tank.
▶ Only fill the water tank with water or with
the descaling solution we have recommen-
ded.
1.7 Meat probe
WARNING ‒ Risk of electric shock!
Using the wrong meat probe could damage
the insulation.
▶ Only use the meat probe for this specific
appliance.
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.
