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