Oven door - Additional safety precautions
During long cooking times, the oven door may become very
hot.
If you have small children, extra supervision is required during
oven operation.
In addition, there is a protective device (protective grid) which
prevents direct contact with the oven door. You can purchase
this optional accessory (469088) from the after-sales service.
Upper glass cover
Caution: The glass cover may crack due to heat. Before
closing the cover, turn off all burners. Wait until the oven has
cooled down before closing the glass cover.
Causes of damage
Hob
Caution!
■
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.
■
Only use pots and pans with an even base.
■
Place the pot or pan centrally over the burner. This will
optimise transfer of the heat from the burner flame to the pot
or ban base. The handle does not become damaged, and
greater energy savings are guaranteed.
■
Ensure that the gas burners are clean and dry. The burner
cup and ¶burner cap must be positioned exactly.
■
Ensure that the top cover is not closed when the oven is
started up.
Damage to the oven
Caution!
■
Do not push baking trays onto the oven floor. Do not line the
oven floor with aluminium foil. Do not place any food
containers on the oven floor, as this could cause heat to
accumulate. The baking and roasting times will no longer be
correct and the enamel will be damaged.
■
Do not pour water directly into a hot oven. This could damage
the enamel.
■
Do not use too much fruit when baking a very liquid fruit
cake. Fruit juice, which drips from the baking tray, may cause
stains that cannot be removed.
■
Do not use the open oven door as a seat or footstool.
Damage to the plinth drawer
Caution!
Do not place hot objects in the plinth drawer. It could be
damaged.
Damage to the fronts of adjacent units
Caution!
■
Only allow the oven to cool down with the oven door closed.
Even if the door is only open slightly open, the fronts of
adjacent units could be damaged over time.
■
If the oven seal is very dirty, the oven door will not close
properly during operation. The fronts of adjacent units will
become damaged over time. Always keep the door seal
clean.
