Causes of damage

Hob
Caution!
Only use the burners when cookware has been placed on
top. Do not heat up empty pots or pans. The saucepan base will be damaged.
Only use pots and pans with an even base.
Place the pot or pan centrally over the burner. This will
optimise transfer of the heat from the burner flame to the pot or ban base. The handle does not become damaged, and greater energy savings are guaranteed.
Ensure that the gas burners are clean and dry. The burner
cup and ¶burner cap must be positioned exactly.
Ensure that the top cover is not closed when the oven is
started up.
Damage to the oven
Caution!
Accessories, foil, greaseproof paper or ovenware on 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.
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.
Very dirty door seal: If the door seal is very dirty, the
appliance door will no longer close properly when the appliance is in use. The fronts of adjacent units could be damaged.Always keep the door seal clean.
