WARNING
RISK OF INJURY
NOTICES
▯
DO NOT place accessories or items such as foil,
greaseproof paper, oven liners or bakeware on the
oven cavity floor. This will cause heat to accumulate.
The baking and roasting times will no longer be
correct and the enamel will be damaged.
▯
Aluminum foil in the cooking compartment must not
come into contact with the door glass. This could
cause permanent discoloration of the door glass.
▯
Aluminum foil and plastic will melt in hot cooking
areas. Stove protective film is not suitable for your
cooktop.
▯
Do not cook on a broken cooktop. Cleaning solutions
and spillovers may create risk of electric shock.
▯
Cookware with rough bottoms will scratch the glass
ceramic surface.
▯
Salt, sugar and grains of sand will scratch the glass
ceramic surface. Never use the cooktop as a working
surface or for setting things down.
▯
Avoid heating pots or pans that are empty.
▯
Hard or sharp objects falling off the cooktop may
damage it.
▯
Sugar and products containing sugar may damage the
cooktop. Immediately eliminate spills of these
products with a glass scraper once the cooktop has
had sufficient time to cool.
▯
Never set down hot pans and pots on the control
panel or frame. This may cause damage.
▯
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambéing food (i.e. Crepe Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
▯
When baking particularly juicy fruit pies, do not pack
the baking tray too generously. Fruit juice dripping
from the baking tray leaves stains that cannot be
removed. If possible, use the deeper universal pan.
▯
If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no
longer close properly during operation. The fronts of
adjacent units could be damaged. Always keep the
seal clean.
▯
Shimmering metallic discolorations on the glass
ceramic surface result from the use of inappropriate
cleaning agents and abrasion from cookware.
▯
Do not use the appliance door as a seat, shelf or
worktop. Do not place any cookware or accessories
on the appliance door.
▯
Depending on the appliance type, accessories can
scratch the door glass when closing the door. Always
slide accessories into the cooking compartment as far
as they will go.
▯
Do not carry or hold the appliance by the door handle.
The door handle cannot support the weight of the
appliance and could break.
Exercise caution when opening the appliance.
Standing to the side, open the door (or drawer)
slowly and slightly to let hot air and/or steam
escape. Keep your face clear of the opening and
make sure there are no children or pets near the
unit. After the release of hot air and/or steam, pro-
ceed with your cooking. Keep doors shut unless
necessary for cooking or cleaning purposes. Do not
leave open doors unattended.
