en Causes of damage
]Causes of damage
Cau s e s of damage
Hob
Caution!
■ Ensure that the top cover is not closed when the
oven is started up.
■ 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.
■ Clear up spills immediately. Use deep pots for
dishes with a lot of liquid. This will prevent the food
from boiling over.
■ Ensure that the hotplate/burner is never switched on
when the hob cover is on, e.g. by children playing.
■ Keep the hotplate dry. Salt water or wet saucepan
bases will damage the hotplate.
■ Never operate the hotplate without a pot on it. Never
use pots with an uneven base. Not enough heat will
be drawn from the hotplate. It may glow red.
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.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ Extremely dirty seal: If the seal is very dirty, the
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
missing. ~ "Cleaning" on page 15
■ Appliance door as a seat, shelf or worktop: Do not
sit on the appliance door, or place or hang anything
on it. Do not place any cookware or accessories on
the appliance door.
■ Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance
model, accessories can scratch the door panel
when closing the appliance door. Always insert the
accessories into the cooking compartment as far as
they will go.
■ Carrying the appliance: do not carry or hold the
appliance by the door handle. The door handle
cannot support the weight of the appliance and
could break.
■ Grilling: do not insert the baking tray or universal pan
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.

Environmental protection en
7Environmental protection
Env i r on ment al pr ot ect i on
Your new appliance is particularly energy-efficient.
Here you can find tips on how to save even more
energy when using the appliance, and how to dispose
of your appliance properly.
Saving energy
■ Only preheat the appliance if this is specified in the
recipe or in the tables in the operating instructions.
■ Leave frozen food to defrost before placing it in the
cooking compartment.
■ Open the appliance door as infrequently as possible
when the appliance is in use.
■ It is best to bake several cakes one after the other.
The cooking compartment stays warm. This reduces
the baking time for the second cake. You can place
two cake tins next to each other in the cooking
compartment.
■ Use baking tins that are dark-coloured, painted black
or have an enamel coating. These absorb the heat
particularly well.
■ Remove any unnecessary accessories from the
cooking compartment.
■ For longer cooking times, you can switch the
appliance off 10 minutes before the end of the
cooking time and use the residual heat to finish
cooking.
Saving energy with the hob
■ Use pots and pans with thick, even bases. Uneven
bases increase energy consumption.
■ The diameter of pan bases should be the same size
as the hotplate. In particular, small saucepans on the
hotplate cause energy losses. Note that cookware
manufacturers often indicate the upper diameter of
the saucepan. This is usually bigger than the
diameter of the base of the pan.
■ Use a small saucepan for small quantities. A larger,
less full saucepan requires a lot of energy.
■ Always place suitable lids on saucepans. When
cooking without a lid, four times the energy is
required.
■ Cook with only a little water. This will save energy.
Vitamins and minerals in vegetables are preserved.
■ Switch to a lower heat setting in good time.
■ Use the residual heat. For longer cooking times, you
can switch the hotplate off 5-10 minutes before the
end of the cooking time.
