Do not use plastic containers.
These melt at high temperatures
and could damage the oven.
Do not heat up unopened tins or jars
of food in the oven, as pressure can
build up and they may explode. This
could result in injury or damage.
Do not push pots and pans around
on the oven floor as this could
damage the surface.
Do not lean or sit on the open oven
door, or place heavy items on it.
This could damage the appliance. Take
care in the region of the hinges. The
oven door can support a maximum
load of 10 kg.
When closing the oven door to pre-
vent the risk of damage hold the
handle firmly and do not let go of it until
it is shut. Make sure that nothing gets
trapped between the door and the
oven.
Cover any food which is left in the
oven to be kept hot. This avoids
the food drying out. It also prevents
steam condensing and possibly lead-
ing to moisture damage in the oven.
Bake any deep-frozen items such
as pizzas on baking paper on the
rack itself. Do not place them on the
baking tray or in the grill pan/oven tray.
This could cause the metal to distort to
such an extent that it might be im-
possible to remove the pan from the
oven whilst it is still hot. This distortion
would increase with subsequent use.
Deep frozen foods such as oven chips
or potato croquettes can be cooked on
the baking tray or grill pan/oven.
Never add water to food on a hot
baking tray or grill pan/oven tray or
directly onto food in a hot oven. The
steam created could cause serious
burns or scalding and the sudden
change in temperature can damage
the enamel.
Never line the floor of the oven with
aluminium foil when using Conven-
tional top and bottom heat A. Do not
place a dish, tin, baking tray or grill
pan/oven tray on the floor of the oven.
If using a grill pan/oven tray made by a
different manufacturer make sure that
there is a gap of at least 6 cm between
the bottom of the pan and the floor of
the oven.
If these instructions are not observed
the bottom heat will be blocked. This
can cause permanent damage to the
floor of the oven.
Protective aluminium foil panels
are available in retail outlets which
are supposed to protect the oven cav-
ity from soiling and reduce the need for
cleaning. If used, cooking and baking
times will increase considerably.
They can also cause damage to the ap-
pliance (e.g. by blocking the heat).
When switched on the cooking
areas heat up. A residual heat indi-
cator shows whether a cooking zone is
hot.
Do not cover the hob display field
by a hot pan. This could cause
damage to the residual heat indicators.
