Causes of damage

Hob
Caution!

■

Ensure that the top cover is not closed when the oven is 

started up.

■

Only use the burners when cookware has been placed on 

top. Do not heat up empty pots or pans. The saucepan base 

will be damaged.

■

Clear up spills immediately. Use deep pots for dishes with a 

lot of liquid. This will prevent the food from boiling over.

■

Ensure that the hotplate/burner is never switched on when 

the hob cover is on, e.g. by children playing.

■

Keep the hotplate dry. Salt water or wet saucepan bases will 

damage the hotplate.

with an uneven base. Not enough heat will be drawn from the 

hotplate. It may glow red.

Caution!

■

Accessories, foil, greaseproof paper or ovenware on the 

cooking compartment floor: do not place accessories on the 

cooking compartment floor. Do not cover the cooking 

compartment floor with any sort of foil or greaseproof paper. 

Do not place ovenware on the cooking compartment floor if a 

temperature of over 50 ºC has been set. This will cause heat 

to accumulate. The baking and roasting times will no longer 

be correct and the enamel will be damaged.

■

Water in a hot cooking compartment: do not pour water into 

the cooking compartment when it is hot. This will cause 

steam. The temperature change can cause damage to the 

enamel.

Moist food: do not store moist food in the cooking 

compartment when it is closed for prolonged periods This will 

damage the enamel.

■

Fruit juice: when baking particularly juicy fruit pies, do not 

pack the baking tray too generously. Fruit juice dripping from 

the baking tray leaves stains that cannot be removed. If 

possible, use the deeper universal pan.

■

Cooling with the appliance door open: only allow the cooking 

compartment 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.

■

Very dirty door seal: If the door seal is very dirty, the 

appliance door will no longer close properly when the 

appliance is in use. The fronts of adjacent units could be 

damaged.Always keep the door seal clean.

appliance door, or place or hang anything on it. Do not place

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.
