Causes of damage
en
9
■
Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance
model, accessories can scratch the door panel
when closing the appliance door. Always insert the
accessories into the cooking compartment as far as
they will go.
■
Carrying the appliance: do not carry or hold the
appliance by the door handle. The door handle
cannot support the weight of the appliance and
could break.
Microwave
Caution!
■
Creation of sparks: Metal – e.g. a spoon in a glass –
must be kept at least 2 cm from the cooking
compartment walls and the inside of the door.
Sparks can irreparably damage the glass on the
inside of the door.
■
Combining accessories: Do not combine the wire
rack with the universal pan. Sparks may be created if
they are inserted directly on top of one another. Only
insert them into their own shelf level.
■
Microwave only: The universal pan and baking tray
are unsuitable when using the microwave only. If you
use either of these, this may create sparks, which
may damage the cooking compartment. Place
cookware on the wire rack provided, or place it in
the microwave and set a type of heating.
■
Foil containers: Do not use foil containers in the
appliance. They damage the appliance by producing
sparks.
■
Operating the microwave without food: Operating the
appliance without food in the cooking compartment
may lead to overloading. Never switch on the
microwave unless there is food inside. The short
crockery test is the exception to this rule.
■
Microwave popcorn: Never set the microwave output
too high. Use a maximum microwave output of 600
watts. Always place the popcorn bag on a glass
plate. The door panels may jump if overloaded.
Steam
Caution!
■
Baking tins: Ovenware must be heat and steam
resistant. Silicone baking tins are not suitable for
combined operation with steam.
■
Ovenware with areas of rust: Do not use any
ovenware which displays areas of rust. Even the
smallest spots of rust can lead to corrosion in the
cooking compartment.
■
Dripping liquids: When steaming with a perforated
cooking container, always insert the baking tray, the
universal pan or the solid cooking container
underneath. Dripping liquid is caught.
■
Hot water in the water tank: Hot water can damage
the pump. Only fill the water tank with cold water.
■
Enamel damage: Do not start any operations when
there is water on the cooking compartment floor.
Before operation, wipe away the water from the
cooking compartment floor.
■
Descaling solution: Do not allow any descaling
solution to come into contact with the control panel
or other surfaces on the appliance. This damages
the surfaces. If this does happen, remove the
descaling solution immediately with water.
■
Cleaning the water tank: Do not clean the water tank
in the dishwasher. Otherwise, the water tank will be
damaged. Clean the water tank with a soft cloth and
standard washing-up liquid.
