Notes
¡ Enamel burns at very high temperatures, causing minor discol-
ouration. The functionality of the appliance is not affected by this.
¡ The edges of thin baking trays cannot be completely enamelled
and may be rough. This does not impair the corrosion protection.
¡ Food residues leave a white coating on the enamelled surfaces.
The coating does not pose a health risk. The functionality of the
appliance is not affected by this. You can remove these residues
with lemon juice.
