Safety
Health hazard!
■
Do not defrost meat, poultry and fish
in the oven. Take the frozen food out
of the freezer ahead of time, cover
and let it defrost in the refrigerator.
The fluid from the frozen food must
be able to properly drain, otherwise
harmful microorganisms can form.
Acrylamide may be carcinogenic.
Acrylamide is produced when starch is
exposed to excessive heat, e.g. in pota-
toes (fries, chips), biscuits, toast, bread
etc.
■
Keep cooking times as short as pos-
sible.
■
Only brown the food slightly, do not
allow it to brown too much.
■
Cut larger-sized fries and then bake
at maximum of 180°C.
■
Brushing baked goods with egg
whites or egg yolks helps to reduce
the formation of acrylamide.
NOTICE
Risk of damage!
■
For cleaning purposes, do not use
any harsh, abrasive cleaning agents
or scouring agents, steel wool, metal
scrapers, 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.
■
Immediately remove sugar or starchy
food particles and residues of plastics
or aluminium foil. Otherwise this may
lead to permanent damage which
cannot be repaired.
■
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 push heavy pans across the
appliance; this may scratch the glass
ceramic.
■
Wipe the glass ceramic and the bot-
tom of the pots prior to use in order
to remove any dirt which may cause
scratches.
■
Only use the hob as a work surface or
to place objects on once it has com-
pletely cooled off. Materials which
are sensitive to heat such as plastic
dishes could become damaged if this
is the case.
■
Do not use any aluminium foil or
plastic containers when cooking on
the hob as they can melt.
■
Although fireproof glass dishes are
suitable for glass ceramic hobs, they
are poor heat conductors. Larger
glass containers may also cause ther-
mal stress leading to breakage.
■
Cooking zones may become dam-
aged if they are operated without
cookware or with empty cookware.
■
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.
