Take care not to trap anything in the appliance
▶
door.
Only leave the cooking compartment to dry with the
▶
door open if a lot of moisture was produced during
operation.
Fruit juice dripping from the baking tray leaves stains
that cannot be removed.
When baking very juicy fruit flans, do not pack too
▶
much on the baking tray.
If possible, use the deeper universal pan.
▶
Using oven cleaner in a hot cooking compartment
damages the enamel.
Never use oven cleaner in the cooking compartment
▶
when it is still warm.
Remove all food remnants from the cooking com-
▶
partment and the appliance door before you next
heat up the appliance.
If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no
longer close properly during operation. This may dam-
age 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 appli-
▶
ance door.
With certain models, accessories may scratch the door
pane when closing the appliance door.
Always push accessories fully into the cooking com-
▶
partment.
If you carry or move the appliance by the handle on the
cover or move, the handle may break off and cause
damage to the hinges. The handle of the cover is not
designed for the weight of the appliance.
Do not carry or move the appliance by the handle
▶
on the cover.
3 Environmental protection and saving energy
3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compat-
ible and can be recycled.
Sort the individual components by type and dispose
▶
of them separately.
3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less power.
Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the recom-
mended settings tell you to do so.
¡ Not preheating the appliance can reduce the en-
ergy used by up to 20%.
Use dark-coloured, black-coated or enamelled baking
tins.
¡ These types of baking tin absorb the heat particu-
larly well.
Environmental protection and saving energy en
When grilling, due to high temperatures, the baking tray
or universal pan may become deformed and damage
the enamel coating when they are removed.
When grilling, do not insert the baking tray or univer-
▶
sal pan higher than level 3.
Above shelf position 3, only grill directly on the wire
▶
insert.
2.2 Electric hob
Follow the corresponding instructions when using the
appliance.
ATTENTION!
Food may spill.
Remove spills immediately.
▶
Use deep pots for dishes with a lot of liquid.
▶
This prevents overflowing.
▶
The base of the pot or pan may be damaged.
Cookware that is used on the hotplate must be se-
▶
curely in place.
Only use pots and pans with an even base.
▶
Do not heat up empty pots or pans.
▶
A build-up of heat on the electric hotplate may cause
damage.
Ensure that the electric hotplate is never switched
▶
on when the hob cover is on, e.g. by children play-
ing.
Salt water or hot pot bases may cause damage to the
electric hotplate.
Keep the electric hotplate dry.
▶
The heat of the electric hotplate can not be discharged
sufficiently and the electric hotplate may overheat.
Never operate the electric hotplate without a pot.
▶
Do not use pots with an uneven base.
▶
Open the appliance door as little as possible during
operation.
¡ This maintains the temperature in the cooking com-
partment and eliminates the need for the appliance
to reheat.
When baking multiple dishes, do so in succession or
in parallel.
¡ The cooking compartment is heated after baking
the first dish. This reduces the baking time for the
second cake.
If the cooking time is relatively long, you can switch
the appliance off 10 minutes before the cooking time
ends.
¡ There will be enough residual heat to finish cooking
the dish.
Remove any accessories that are not being used from
the cooking compartment.
¡ Accessories that are not being used do not need to
be heated.
Allow frozen food to defrost before cooking.
¡ This saves the energy that would otherwise be re-
quired to defrost it.
