2 Avoiding material damage
ATTENTION!
Silicone bakeware is not suitable for combined opera-
tion with steam.
▶
Cookware must be heat- and steam-resistant.
Using cookware with rust spots may cause corrosion in
the cooking compartment. Even the smallest spots of
rust can cause corrosion.
▶
Do not use cookware with rust spots.
Dripping liquids make the cooking compartment floor
dirty.
▶
When steaming with a perforated cooking container,
always place the baking tray, the universal pan or
the unperforated cooking container underneath. This
will catch any liquid that drips down.
If descaling solution comes into contact with the control
panel or other delicate surfaces, it will damage them.
▶
Remove descaling solution immediately with water.
Cleaning the water tank in the dishwasher will damage
it.
▶

damage it.
▶
Do not place or hang objects on the appliance door.
▶
Do not place cookware or accessories on the appli-
ance door.
If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no
longer close properly during operation. This may dam-
age the front of adjacent kitchen units.
▶
Keep the seal clean at all times.
▶
Never operate the appliance if the seal is damaged
or missing.
The prolonged presence of moisture in the cooking
compartment leads to corrosion.

Allow the cooking compartment to dry after use.
▶
Do not keep moist food in the cooking compartment
for a long time with the door closed.
▶
Do not store food in the cooking compartment.
If aluminium foil comes into contact with the door pane,
it could cause permanent discolouration.
▶
Do not allow aluminium foil in the cooking compart-
ment to come into contact with the door pane.
Improper care may lead to corrosion in the cooking
compartment.
▶
Observe the care and cleaning instructions.
▶
Once the appliance has cooled down, remove any
dirt from the cooking compartment.
Carrying the appliance by the door handle could break
it. The door handle cannot support the weight of the
appliance.
▶
Do not carry or hold the appliance by the door
handle.
A build-up of heat damages the appliance.
▶
Never place accessories, foil, greaseproof paper or
ovenware on the cooking compartment floor.

Never cover the cooking compartment floor with any
type of foil.
▶
Keep the cooking compartment floor and the evap-
orator tray clear.

3 Environmental protection and saving energy
3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compat-
ible and can be recycled.
▶
Sort the individual components by type and dispose
of them separately.
3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less power.
Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the recom-
mended settings
¡
Not preheating the appliance can reduce the en-
ergy used by up to 20%.
Open the appliance door as little as possible during
operation.
¡
This will maintain the temperature in the cooking
compartment and eliminate the need for the appli-
ance to reheat.
Cook food on multiple levels at the same time. Put the
food with the longest cooking time in first.
¡
If you are preparing the food at the same time,
shorten the operating time.
