■
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. This
will cause heat accumulation. The baking and
roasting times will no longer be correct and the
enamel will be damaged.
Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance
■
model, accessories can scratch the door panel
when closing the appliance door. Always insert the
accessories into the cooking compartment as far as
they will go.
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.
Moist food: do not store moist food in the cooking
■
compartment when it is closed for prolonged
periods This will damage the enamel.
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.
Cooling with the appliance door open: only allow the
■
cooking compartment to cool when it is closed. Even
if the appliance door is only open a little, front panels
of adjacent units could be damaged over time.
6

■
the display area or the surround. This may cause
damage.

■
the hob.

Heavily soiled oven seal: if the oven seal is heavily
■
soiled, the oven door will no longer close properly
when the oven is in operation. The fronts of adjacent
units could be damaged. Always keep the oven seal
clean.

■
place objects on the oven door when it is open. Do
not hang objects on the oven door.

■
appliance by the door handle. The door handle
cannot support the weight of the appliance and
could break.
Heavy accessories: do not pull out heavily laden
■
accessories too far without first unloading them
sufficiently. Heavy accessories will tip when pulled
out. This causes pressure to be exerted on the shelf
supports in the cooking compartment, which can
damage the enamel. Relieve the strain on the
accessories when they are pulled out by raising
them slightly with one hand. Caution: always use an
oven cloth or oven gloves when handling hot
accessories.
