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 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.

■ 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.

■ 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.

■ Baking tins: Ovenware must be heat and steam resistant.

Silicone baking tins are not suitable for combined operation with steam.

■ Ovenware with areas of rust: Do not use any ovenware which

displays areas of rust. Even the smallest spots of rust can lead to corrosion in the cooking compartment.

■ Hot water in the water tank: Hot water can damage the pump.

Only fill the water tank with cold water.

■ Descaling solution: Do not allow descaling solution to come

into contact with the control panel or other sensitive surfaces. These will damage the surfaces. If this does happen, remove the descaling solution immediately with water.

■ Cleaning the water tank: Do not clean the water tank in the

dishwasher. Otherwise, the water tank will be damaged. Clean the water tank with a soft cloth and standard washingup liquid.

Energy and environment tips

Here you can find tips on how to save energy when baking and roasting and how to dispose of your appliance properly.

Note: For this appliance, an energy consumption value has been established that meets DIN EN 50304/DIN EN 60350.

This energy consumption value is 30% below that for energy efficiency class A.

Depending on the appliance equipment, the additional NeffLight® lighting was switched off while measuring (see section: Switching off NeffLight®).

Saving energy

Only preheat the oven if this is specified in the recipe or in the operating instruction tables.

Use dark, black lacquered or enamelled baking tins. They absorb the heat particularly well.

Open the appliance door as little as possible during cooking, baking or roasting.

It is best to bake several cakes one after the other. The cooking compartment is still warm. This may reduce the baking time for the second cake.

Your accessories

In this section, you will find information on

■ Your accessories

■ the correct way to insert the accessories into the cooking

compartment

■ the shelf positions

■ the optional accessories

Accessories

The following accessories are included with your appliance:

Wire rack for baking in baking tins, roasting in roasting dishes and grilling

When inserting the baking tray or the universal pan, check

■ that the lug (a) is in the rear part of the of the accessory

■ that the sloping edge of the accessory faces towards the

appliance door when it is inserted

Universal pan, enamelled for baking moist cakes, roasting, grilling and collecting drops of liquid during cooking

Insert grid for roasting and grilling

Note: The wire insert is always used together with the universal pan. In this combination, the wire insert is placed in the universal pan.

Note: The baking tray and universal pan may become distorted when the appliance is in operation. This is caused by the considerable temperature differences acting on the accessories. These differences may occur if only a part of the accessory is covered with food, or if frozen items such as pizza are placed on the accessory.

Inserting accessories

The accessories are equipped with a locking function. The locking function prevents the accessories from tilting when they are pulled out. The accessories must be inserted into the cooking compartment correctly for the tilt protection to work properly.

When inserting the wire rack, check

■ that the lug (a) is pointing downwards

■ that the lug (a) is in the rear part of the wire rack

Shelf positions

The cooking compartment has four shelf heights. The shelf heights are counted from the bottom up.

Note: Do not use shelf height 2 when baking and roasting with 3 CircoTherm®. This will adversely affect air circulation and your baking and roasting results will not be as good.

Optional accessories

You can purchase optional accessories from the after-sales service or specialist retailers. You will find a comprehensive range of products for your appliance in our brochures and on our website.
