1.3 About use
–
The appliance
is intended solely for use in the
household and must not be put to any other uses.
– Use the appliance to prepare meals only. It must
not be used to heat up the room
in which it is
installed.
–
Caution!
You will risk injuring yourself, should
you close the door improperly. You might jam and
crush your fingers and hands.
–
Do not store
any combustible objects in your
oven and, when operating the oven, never leave
any items inside the oven compartment other
than the ones needed.
–
Make sure
that the bottom of the oven
compartment is never covered up during
operation or lined with aluminium foil.
–
Never pour water directly
into the hot oven.
This could damage the enamel.
–
Always preheat your oven in the mode
in
which you intend to bake or roast.
Tip:
you have a possibility of heating up the
appliance very quickly. To do this, use the
hot
air and bottom heat program.
–
In the control panel
a red pilot lamp lights up as
long as the appliance is heating up. The light
goes off as soon as the set temperature has been
reached or when the appliance has stopped
heating up.
–
Note!
Fruit acids such as the juice of lemons or
plums etc. should be removed after every baking
operation, thus making sure that they will not
cause spots on the oven’s enamel.
–
After baking/roasting, open the door comple-
tely or close it. The oven door must not be
left half open as otherwise the control panel
and kitchen furniture may be damaged.
–
Caution: risk of burns.
The inside of the door
gets very hot during operation; observe appro-
priate caution when opening the appliance. Make
sure that the open door does not swing back
when you are standing in front of the appliance.
–
Built-in temperature
protection prevents
overheating of the appliance and of kitchen
furniture.
–
Return the
“Temperature" knob to “0" after
baking.
–
If malfunctions
should occur, first check the
fuses in your household. If there is no fault in the
power supply, consult your dealer or the nearest
authorised Gaggenau service centre.
–
All heating elements
and the fan are switched
off when you open the door.
After completion
of
baking or roasting, the cooling fan will continue to
run for a time and will then switch off automatically.
–
The appliance is not suitable
for warming up
foodstuffs in aluminium foil or in plastic vessels.
Use of aluminium kitchenware
or stainless
steel kitchenware with aluminium bases may
produce mother of pearl-coloured stains on your
cooker. These will not have a detrimental effect
on functioning of the cooking surface, though.
–
Do not use
the cooking surface as space to store
items.
– The glass-ceramic cooker additionally features
an
individual residual heat display
.
–
Place a cooking vessel
on the corresponding
hotplate before operating it. Do not remove
the cooking vessel until you have switched off
the hotplate. The size of pots and pans should
correspond to the size of the hotplate. This will
save you energy and time.
–
Operation of the appliance
must be dis-
continued immediately if improper use produces
cracks, breaks or flaws on the cooking surface,
with the result that live parts can come into
contact directly or indirectly with seeping liquid
or if there is a risk of injury. Remove the mains
plug or actuate the corresponding mains fuse.
Inform after-sales service!
