Significant health risks!
Trays and baking tins with a non-stick surface must not be
cleaned using the self-cleaning function. The intense heat
removes the non-stick surface and creates toxic gases.
Items that may damage the appliance
Caution!
■
Accessories, pans, film, greaseproof paper or aluminium foil
on the oven floor: Do not place any accessory on the oven
floor. Do not cover the oven floor with any type of film or
paper. Do not place any cookware on the oven floor if the
temperature is set at more than 50 ºC. It will get too hot.
Oven and cooking times will be inaccurate and the enamel
will be damaged.
■
Water in a hot oven Do not pour hot water into a hot oven.
Steam will be produced. The resulting changes in
temperature may damage the enamel and/or accessories.
■
Liquid foods: Do not keep liquid foods for too long inside the
oven with the door closed. This would damage the enamel.
■
Fruit juices: Do not overfill the tray when baking pies
containing juicy fruits. Fruit juice spilling from the tray will
cause stains that will be impossible to remove. Use the deep
enamel tray whenever possible.
■
Leaving the door open when the oven is cooling down The
oven must only be left to cool with the door closed. Even if
the oven door is left only slightly open, the fronts of nearby
kitchen units may be damaged over time.
■
Dirty oven seal A very dirty oven seal will prevent the oven
door from remaining properly closed during operation. The
fronts of nearby kitchen units may be damaged. Keep the
oven door seal clean at all times.
■
The oven door as a support surface: Do not rest or sit on the
oven door when it is open. Do not place any cookware or
accessory on the oven door.
■
Transporting the appliance: Do not use the door handle to
move or secure the appliance. The handle cannot take the
weight of the appliance and may break. The glass panel of
the oven door might move, causing misalignment between
the front panel and the glass panel.
■
Grilling: When grilling, do not place the universal deep tray or
the flat oven tray at a height of more than 3. Due to the
extreme heat, it could be deformed and cause damage to the
enamel when it is removed. Use level 4 and 5 only for direct
grilling.
