2.1 Preventing oven cavity damage
NOTICE:
The presence of objects on the oven cavity bottom will
cause heat to build up. The baking and roasting times will
no longer be correct and the enamel will be damaged.
▶ Do not cover the oven cavity bottom with any sort of foil
or greaseproof paper.
▶ Do not place accessories on the oven cavity bottom.
Do not allow aluminum foil in the oven cavity to come into
contact with the door glass, it could cause permanent
discoloration.
Never pour water into the oven cavity when it is still hot.
Never place cookware containing water on the oven cavity
bottom.
The prolonged presence of moisture in the oven cavity
leads to corrosion.
▶ Allow the oven cavity to dry after use.
▶ Do not keep moist food in the oven cavity for a long
time with the door closed.
▶ Do not store food in the oven cavity.
Leaving the appliance to cool down with the door open will
damage the front of neighboring kitchen units over time.
▶ Always allow the oven cavity to cool down with the door
closed after cooking at high temperatures. Only leave
the oven cavity to dry with the door open if a lot of
moisture was produced during operation.
▶ Take care not to trap anything in the appliance door.
Fruit juice dripping from the baking tray leaves stains that
cannot be removed.
▶ When baking very juicy fruit pies, do not pack too much
on the baking tray.
If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will not close
properly when the appliance is in operation. This may
damage the front of adjacent kitchen units.
▶ Keep the seal clean at all times.
▶ Never operate the appliance if the seal is damaged or
missing.
Sitting or placing objects on the appliance door may
damage it.
▶ Do not place or hang objects on the appliance door.
▶ Do not place cookware or accessories on the appliance
door.
With certain models, accessories may scratch the door
glass when closing the appliance door.
▶ Always push accessories fully into the oven cavity.
Carrying the appliance by the door handle could break it.
The door handle cannot support the weight of the
appliance.
▶ Do not carry or hold the appliance by the door handle.
2.2 Preventing cooktop damage
NOTICE:
OPERATIONAL FAULT.
▶ Always turn the control knob to the OFF position when
the appliance is not being used.
Overheating can damage the cookware.
▶ Do not heat empty pots or pans.
A build-up of heat may damage the appliance.
▶ Never cover the cooktop, for example with aluminum foil
or oven protectors.
▶ Do not place roasters, frying pans or grill stones on
more than one burner at a time.

the burners are still hot.
Heat may cause damage to adjacent appliances or
furniture. If the appliance is in operation for an extended
period, heat and moisture will be generated. Additional
ventilation is required.
▶ Open the window or switch on an extractor hood that
discharges the extracted air and moisture outside the
building.

3.1 Disposal of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible
and can be recycled.
▶ Sort the individual components by type and dispose of
them separately.
3.2 Saving energy when using the oven
If you follow these tips, your appliance consumes less
energy.
Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the
recommended settings tell you to do so.
a
Not preheating the appliance can reduce the energy
used.
Use dark-colored, black-coated or enameled baking pans.
a
These types of baking pans absorb the heat particularly
well.
Open the appliance door as little as possible during
operation.
a
This will maintain the temperature in the oven cavity
and eliminate the need for the appliance to reheat.
When baking multiple dishes, do so in succession or at
the same time.
a
The oven cavity is heated after baking the first dish.
This reduces the baking time for the second dish.
If the cooking time is relatively long, you can switch the
appliance off 10minutes before the cooking time ends.
a
There will be enough residual heat to finish cooking the
dish.
