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 if a
temperature of over 50 ºC has been set. This will
cause heat to accumulate. The baking and roasting
times will no longer be correct and the enamel will
be damaged.
Aluminium foil: Aluminium foil in the cooking
■
compartment must not come into contact with the
door glass. This could cause permanent
discolouration of the door glass.
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.
Moisture in the cooking compartment: Over an
■
extended period of time, moisture in the cooking
compartment may lead to corrosion. Allow the
cooking compartment to dry after use. Do not keep
moist food in the closed cooking compartment for
extended periods of time. Do not store food in the
cooking compartment.
Cooling with the appliance door open: Following
■
operation at high temperatures, only allow the
cooking compartment to cool down with the door
closed. Do not trap anything in the appliance door.
Even if the door is only left open a crack, the front of
nearby furniture may become damaged over time.
Only leave the cooking compartment to dry with the
door open if a lot of moisture was produced whilst
the oven was operating.
Hard or pointed objects dropped on the hob may
■
damage it.
Aluminium foil and plastic containers will melt if
■
placed on the hotplate while it is hot. The use of
laminated sheeting is not recommended on the hob.

appliance door will no longer close properly during
operation. The fronts of adjacent units could be
damaged. Always keep the seal clean. Never
operate the appliance if the seal is damaged or

■
model, accessories can scratch the door panel
when closing the appliance door. Always insert the

■
appliance by the door handle. The door handle
cannot support the weight of the appliance and
could break.

■
higher than level 3 when grilling. The high heat
distorts it and the enamel may be damaged when it
is removed. At level 4 and 5, only grill directly on the
wire rack.
