Causes of damage
1.
Accessories, foil, oven paper or ovenware on the cooking chamber floor: Do not place any
accessories on the cooking chamber floor. Do not cover the cooking chamber floor with any
kind of foil or oven paper. Do not place any ovenware on the cooking chamber floor if the
temperature is set above 50 ºC. This will result in heat accumulation. This will damage the
enamel.
2.
Aluminium foil: Aluminium foil in the cooking chamber must not come into contact with the door
glass. This could lead to a permanent discolouration of the door glass.
3.
Silicone pans: Do not use pans, mats, covers or accessories containing silicone. This could
damage the oven sensor.
4.
Water in the hot cooking chamber: Do not pour water into the cooking chamber when it is hot.
This will produce steam. The change in temperature may damage the enamel.
5.
Moisture in the cooking chamber: Over a long period of time, moisture in the cooking chamber
can lead to corrosion. Allow the appliance to dry after use. Do not keep moist foods in the
closed cooking chamber for long periods of time. Do not store food in the cooking chamber.
6.
Cooling with the appliance door open: After using the appliance at high temperatures, only
allow it to cool down with the door closed. Do not allow anything to become jammed in the
appliance door. Even if the door is left open only a crack, the fronts of adjacent appliances may
be damaged over time. Only allow the appliance to dry with the door open if a lot of moisture
has been produced while operating the oven.
7.
Fruit juice: When baking particularly juicy fruit cakes, do not cover the baking tray too
generously. Fruit juice dripping from the baking tray leaves stains that cannot be removed. If
possible, use a deep universal baking tray.
8.
Heavily soiled seal: If the seal is heavily soiled, the appliance door will not close properly. This
could damage the fronts of adjacent appliances. Always keep the seal clean.
9.
Using the appliance door as a seat, shelf or worktop: Do not sit on the appliance door, do not
place anything on it, and do not hang anything from it. Do not place cookware or accessories
on the appliance door.
10. Inserting accessories: Depending on the appliance model, accessories may scratch the door
panel when the appliance door is closed. Always insert the accessory into the cooking chamber
as far as it will go.
11. Carrying the device: Do not carry or hold the device by the door handle. The door handle
cannot support the weight of the appliance and may break off.
12. If you use the residual heat of the switched-off oven to keep food warm, a great deal of
moisture can build up in the cooking chamber. This can lead to the formation of condensation
water and cause corrosion damage to your appliance as well as damaging your kitchen. Avoid
the formation of condensation water by opening the door or using "Defrost" mode.
