2 Preventing material damage
2.1 General
ATTENTION!
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
will be damaged.
Do not place any accessories, greaseproof paper or
▶
foil of any kind on the cooking compartment floor.
Only place cookware on the cooking compartment
▶
floor if a temperature above 50 °C has been set.
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.
The prolonged presence of moisture in the cooking
compartment leads to corrosion.
Allow the cooking compartment to dry after use.
▶
Do not keep moist food in the cooking compartment
▶
for a long time with the door closed.
Do not store food in the cooking compartment.
▶
Leaving the appliance to cool down with the door open
will damage the front of neighbouring kitchen units over
time.
Always allow the cooking compartment to cool
▶
down with the door closed after cooking at high
temperatures.
Take care not to trap anything in the appliance
▶
door.
Only leave the cooking compartment to dry with the
▶
door open if a lot of moisture was produced during
operation.
Fruit juice dripping from the baking tray leaves stains
that cannot be removed.
When baking very juicy fruit flans, do not pack too
▶
much on the baking tray.
If possible, use the deeper universal pan.
▶
Using oven cleaner in a hot cooking compartment
damages the enamel.
Never use oven cleaner in the cooking compartment
▶
when it is still warm.
Remove all food remnants from the cooking com-
▶
partment and the appliance door before you next
heat up the appliance.
3 Environmental protection and saving energy
3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compat-
ible and can be recycled.
Sort the individual components by type and dispose
▶
of them separately.
Preventing material damage en
If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no
longer close properly during operation. This may dam-
age the front of adjacent kitchen units.
Keep the seal clean at all times.
▶
Never operate the appliance if the seal is damaged
▶
or missing.
Sitting or placing objects on the appliance door may
damage it.
Do not place or hang objects on the appliance door.
▶
Do not place cookware or accessories on the appli-
▶
ance door.
With certain models, accessories may scratch the door
pane when closing the appliance door.
Always push accessories fully into the cooking com-
▶
partment.
2.2 Steam
Follow these instructions when using the steam func-
tion.
ATTENTION!
Silicone bakeware is not suitable for combined opera-
tion with steam.
Cookware must be heat- and steam-resistant.
▶
Using cookware with rust spots may cause corrosion in
the cooking compartment. Even the smallest spots of
rust can cause corrosion.
Do not use cookware with rust spots.
▶
Hot water in the water tank may damage the steam
system.
Only fill the water tank with cold water.
▶
If there is water on the cooking compartment floor
when operating the appliance at temperatures above
120 °C, this will damage the enamel.
Do not use the appliance if there is water on the
▶
cooking compartment floor.
Wipe away any water on the cooking compartment
▶
floor before operation.
If descaling solution comes into contact with the control
panel or other delicate surfaces, it will damage them.
Remove descaling solution immediately with water.
▶
Cleaning the water tank in the dishwasher will damage
it.
Do not clean the water tank in the dishwasher.
▶
Clean the water tank with a soft cloth and standard
▶
washing-up liquid.
3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less power.
Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the recom-
mended settings tell you to do so.
¡ Not preheating the appliance can reduce the en-
ergy used by up to 20%.
