2 Preventing material damage
2.1 General
ATTENTION!
When the cooking compartment is hot, any water in-
side it will create steam. The change in temperature
may cause damage.
▶
Never pour water into the cooking compartment
when it is still hot.
The prolonged presence of moisture in the cooking
compartment leads to corrosion.
▶
Always wipe away the condensation after cooking.
▶
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.
Leaving the appliance to cool down with the door open
will damage the front of neighbouring kitchen units over
time.
▶
Always allow the cooking compartment to cool
down with the door closed after cooking at high
temperatures.
▶
Take care not to trap anything in the appliance
door.
▶
Only leave the cooking compartment to dry with the
door open if a lot of moisture was produced during
operation.
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.
Sitting or placing objects on the appliance door may
damage it.
▶
Do not place, hang or support objects on the appli-
ance door.
▶
Do not place cookware or accessories on the appli-
ance door.
With certain models, accessories may scratch the door
pane when closing the appliance door.
▶
Always push accessories fully into the cooking com-
partment.
2.2 Microwave
Follow these instructions when using the microwave.
ATTENTION!
Metal touching the wall of the cooking compartment
will cause sparks, which may damage the appliance or
the inner door pane.
▶
Metal (e.g. a spoon in a glass) must be kept at least
2 cm from the cooking compartment walls and the
inside of the door.
Placing aluminium containers in the appliance may
cause sparks, which will damage the appliance.
▶
Do not use aluminium containers in the appliance.
Operating the appliance without food in the cooking
compartment may lead to overloading.
▶
Do not switch on the microwave unless there is food
inside. The only exception to this rule is when per-
forming a short cookware test.
If you prepare several bags of microwave popcorn in
immediate succession at a microwave power level that
is too high, the cooking compartment may be dam-
aged.
▶
Leave the appliance to cool down for several
minutes between each use.
▶
Never set a microwave power level that is too high.
▶
Use a maximum microwave output of 600 watts.
▶
Always place the popcorn bag on a glass plate.
Using unsuitable cookware may result in damage.
▶
When using the grill or the microwave combined op-
eration, only use cookware that can withstand high
temperatures.
2.3 Steam
Follow these instructions when using the steam func-
tion.
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.
Hot water in the water tank may damage the steam
system.
▶
Only fill the water tank with cold water.
If there is water on the cooking compartment floor
when operating the appliance at temperatures above
120 °C, this will damage the enamel.
▶
Do not use the appliance if there is water on the
cooking compartment floor.
▶
Wipe away any water on the cooking compartment
floor before operation.
