2.1 Preventing oven cavity damage
NOTICE:
When the oven cavity is hot, any water inside it will create
steam. The change in temperature may cause damage.
▶
Never pour water into the oven cavity when it is still hot.
▶
Never place cookware containing water on the oven
cavity bottom.
The prolonged presence of moisture in the oven cavity
leads to corrosion.
▶
Allow the oven cavity to dry after use.
▶
Do not keep moist food in the oven cavity for a long
time with the door closed.
▶
Do not store food in the oven cavity.
Leaving the appliance to cool down with the door open will
damage the front of neighboring kitchen units over time.
▶
Always allow the oven cavity to cool down with the door
closed after cooking at high temperatures. Only leave
the oven cavity to dry with the door open if a lot of mois-
ture was produced during operation.
▶
Take care not to trap anything in the appliance door.
Fruit juice dripping from the baking tray leaves stains that
cannot be removed.
▶
When baking very juicy fruit pies, do not pack too much
on the baking tray.
Sitting or placing objects on the appliance door may dam-
age it.
▶
Do not place or hang objects on the appliance door.
▶
Do not place cookware or accessories on the appliance
door.
Carrying the appliance by the door handle could break it.
The door handle cannot support the weight of the appli-
ance.
▶
Do not carry or hold the appliance by the door handle.
2.2 Preventing cooktop damage
NOTICE:
OPERATIONAL FAULT.
▶
Always turn the control knob to the OFF position when
the appliance is not being used.
Overheating can damage the cookware.
▶
Do not heat empty pots or pans.
A build-up of heat may damage the appliance.
▶
Never cover the cooktop, for example with aluminum foil
or oven protectors.
▶
Do not place roasters, frying pans or grill stones on
more than one burner at a time.
▶
Only use the accessories specified.
Acidic liquids such as lemon juice or vinegar may damage
the surface finish of the appliance.
▶
Remove spilled liquids immediately. Use caution while
the burners are still hot.
Heat may cause damage to adjacent appliances or furni-
ture. If the appliance is in operation for an extended pe-
riod, heat and moisture will be generated. Additional venti-
lation is required.
▶
Open the window or switch on an extractor hood that
discharges the extracted air and moisture outside the
building.

3.1 Disposal of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible
and can be recycled.
▶
Sort the individual components by type and dispose of
them separately.
3.2 Saving energy when using the oven
If you follow these tips, your appliance consumes less en-
ergy.
Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the recom-
mended settings tell you to do so.
a
Not preheating the appliance can reduce the energy
used.
Use dark-colored, black-coated or enameled baking pans.
a
These types of baking pans absorb the heat particularly
well.
Open the appliance door as little as possible during opera-
tion.
a
This will maintain the temperature in the oven cavity
and eliminate the need for the appliance to reheat.
When baking multiple dishes, do so in succession or in
parallel.
a
The oven cavity is heated after baking the first dish.
This reduces the baking time for the second dish.
If the cooking time is relatively long, you can switch the
appliance off 10 minutes before the cooking time ends.
a
There will be enough residual heat to finish cooking the
dish.
Remove any accessories that are not being used from the
oven cavity.
a
Accessories that are not being used do not need to be
heated.
Allow frozen food to defrost before cooking.
a
This will save the energy that would otherwise be re-
quired to defrost it.
3.3 Saving energy when using the cooktop
If you follow these tips, your appliance consumes less en-
ergy.
Tip: Cookware manufacturers usually state the top diame-
ter of the cookware. The diameter of the cookware base is
usually smaller.
a
The energy is targeted at the cookware.
If you use cookware that is too small, energy is wasted.
If the cookware is too large, much energy is used to
heat up the cookware.
Close cookware with a fitting lid.
a
Cooking without a lid consumes more energy.
