Causes of damage
NOTICES:
▯
Metal ­ e.g. a spoon in a glass ­ must be kept at least
1" (2 cm) from the oven walls and the inside of the
door. Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on
the inside of the door.
▯
Water in the hot oven interior: Never pour water into
the hot oven interior. Steam is produced. Damage to
the enamel can arise due to the temperature change.
▯
Do not leave moist groceries in a closed oven for an
extended period of time. It can lead to corrosion inside
the oven.
▯
Fruit juice can leave stains in the oven. Always remove
fruit juice immediately and wipe up first with a damp
and then a dry cloth.
▯
Cooling with the appliance door open: only allow the
oven cavity to cool when it is closed. Even if the
appliance door is only open a little, front panels of
adjacent units could be damaged over time.
▯
Highly soiled door seal: the appliance door will no
longer close properly during operation if the door seal
is highly soiled. Adjoining furniture fronts may be
damaged. Always keep the door seal clean.
▯
Appliance door as a seat or storage surface: do not
stand, sit or hang on the appliance door. Do not place
any cookware or accessories on the appliance door.
▯
Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance
type, accessories can scratch the door pane when
closing the appliance door. Always slide accessories
fully into the oven interior.
▯
Do not hold or carry the appliance by the door handle.
The door handle cannot carry the weight of the device
and could break off, or the hinges can be damaged.
▯
Operating the microwave without food in the oven
cavity may lead to overloading. Never run the
microwave unless there is food in the oven cavity. An
exception to this rule is a short ovenware test (see the
section "Microwave, suitable ovenware"), or an
AutoChef mode that needs pre-heating.
▯
Always set the microwave power as recommended for
the food. High power settings can overheat foods very
quickly. The turntable may jump if overloaded.
Protecting the environment
Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in
line with environmental requirements.
Tips for saving energy
▯
Open the appliance door as little as possible while
cooking, baking or roasting.
▯
Use dark, black-painted or enameled baking forms.
These absorb the heat particularly well.
▯
It is best to bake several cakes in succession. The
oven is still warm. This shortens the baking time for the
second cake. You can also slide in two loaf tins next to
each other.
