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.
■
Observe the manufacturer's instructions when using
special ovenware.Aluminium foil and plastic
containers can melt and stick on hot burners.
■
Ensure that the gas burners are clean and dry. The
burner cup and burner cap must be positioned
exactly.
■
Clear up spills immediately. Use deep pots for
dishes with a lot of liquid. This will prevent the food
from boiling over.
■
Cooking on gas burners releases extra heat and
moisture. Adjacent units may become damaged over
time. For long cooking times, switch on the cooker
hood or ventilate the room.
■
Ensure that the top cover is not closed when the
oven is started up.
■
The area around the appliance must be clean and
dry.
Always keep the appliance and the area around it
clean and dry after cleaning.
Make sure that there are no cleaning materials,
cleaning products or water marks on any of the
appliance's surfaces.
Damage to the oven
Caution!
■
Accessories, foil, greaseproof paper or ovenware on
the cooking compartment floor: do not place
accessories on the cooking compartment floor. Do
not cover the cooking compartment floor with any
sort of foil or greaseproof paper. Do not place
ovenware on the cooking compartment floor if a
temperature of over 50 ºC has been set. This will
cause heat to accumulate. The baking and roasting
times will no longer be correct and the enamel will
be damaged.
■
Aluminium foil: Aluminium foil in the cooking
compartment must not come into contact with the
door glass. This could cause permanent
discolouration of the door glass.
■
Water in a hot cooking compartment: do not pour
water into the cooking compartment when it is hot.
This will cause steam. The temperature change can
cause damage to the enamel.
■
Moisture in the cooking compartment: Over an
extended period of time, moisture in the cooking
compartment may lead to corrosion. Allow the
cooking compartment to dry after use. Do not keep
moist food in the closed cooking compartment for
extended periods of time. Do not store food in the
cooking compartment.
