Caution!
Risk of damaging the surface. Do not clean the appliance while

Notes
■
Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures during
manufacture. This can cause some slight colour variation.
This is normal and does not affect its function.
■
The edges of thin trays cannot be completely enamelled. As
a result, these edges may be rough. Anti-corrosion protection
is still guaranteed, however.

The inner door panel on the appliance door has a coating which reduces the tempera-
ture and reflects the heat. The view through the appliance door is not impaired by this.
When the appliance door is open, this coating can have the effect of a light-coloured
film. This is part of the design and is not due to any quality defect.
