Causes of damage

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. 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.

– 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.

Causes of damage

Environmental protection

The sections below list a number of energy-saving tips

and provide information on disposing of your appliance.

Saving energy

▯ Use dark-coloured, black-coated or enamelled

baking tins. These absorb the heat particularly well.

▯ Open the appliance door as little as possible during

operation.

▯ If you are baking more than one cake, it is best to

bake them one after the other. The fact that the oven is still warm will reduce the baking time for the second cake. You can also place two loaf tins next to each other.

▯ In hot air mode, you can bake on more than one

level at a time.

▯ If the cooking time is relatively long, you can switch

the appliance off 10 minutes before the cooking time ends and use the residual heat to finish cooking.

Environmentally-friendly disposal

Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.

This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic equipment - WEEE). The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.
