NOTICE
Risk of damage!
■
Use the hob as a work surface or some-
where to place objects only once the
cooking zone has completely cooled
off. Materials which are sensitive to
heat such as plastic dishes could be-
come damaged if this is the case.
■
Do not push heavy pans across the
hob; this may scratch the glass ce-
ramic.
■
Do not place any magnetisable ob-
jects (such as credit cards) near or on
the hob, as they may be damaged by
the electromagnetic fi eld.
■
Wipe the hob and the base of the
pots prior to use to wipe away any
dirt which may cause scratches.
■
Do not use any aluminium foil or plas-
tic containers to cook on the cooking
zones as they can melt.
■
Immediately remove sugar or starchy
food particles and residues of plastics
or aluminium foil. Otherwise, these
may cause permanent and irrepara-
ble damage to the hob.
■
Even if small objects just make slight
contact with the hob, they can dam-
age the glass ceramic surface. For ex-
ample, do not allow salt and pepper
shakes to fall onto the hob from cab-
inets above.
■
Do not place baking trays or alumini-
um foil directly on the bottom of the
cooking compartment. It may cause
heat to build up inside and damage
the oven’s enamel. If you wish to
place dishes directly on the bottom of
the cooking compartment, the oven
temperature must not exceed 50°C.
Be careful when handling cookware
– the enamel can be easily scratched.
■
Turn the temperature controller
clockwise to turn the oven on and an-
ticlockwise to turn it off. Never force
it past the fi nal position.
■
Cleaning: Do not use any harsh, abra-
sive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers
to clean the oven door glass, since
they can scratch the surface, which
may result in shattering of the glass.
■
When cleaning do not use steel
wool, oven sprays, steam cleaners
or high-pressure cleaners! They can
damage the surface and destroy the
glass.
High-pressure cleaners can cause a
short circuit.
■
Do not clean baking tray guides and
telescopic rails in the dishwasher.
■
The oven door is heavy and has a
glass front. Do not allow the door to
fall open when taking it off its hinges!
■
If a trolley is used to move the appli-
ance, the appliance must be lifted as
shown on the packaging.
■
Do not use the door handle to lift the
oven! The handle is not designed to
carry the whole weight of the appli-
ance.
■
When preserving, place only so many
jars in the dripping pan at the same
time that they do not touch. The jars
can burst.
