Causes of damage

Hob
Caution!

  • 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.

  • Do not use roasting dishes if they must be heated using two burners. This will cause heat accumulation. The appliance could be damaged.

  • Cooking on gas burners releases extra heat and moisture. Adjacent units may become damaged over time. For long cooking times, switch on the cooker hood or ventilate the room.

  • Observe the manufacturer’s instructions when using special ovenware.Aluminium foil and plastic containers can melt and stick on hot burners.

  • Place the pot or pan centrally over the burner. This will optimize transfer of the heat from the burner flame to the pot or ban base. The handle does not become damaged, and greater energy savings are guaranteed.

  • Ensure that the gas burners are clean and dry. The burner cup and burner cap must be positioned exactly.

  • Ensure that the hotplate/burner is never switched on when the hob cover is on, e.g. by children playing.

Oven
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. This will cause heat accumulation. The baking and
    roasting times will no longer be correct and the enamel will be damaged.

  • Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance model, 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.

  • 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.

  • Heavily soiled oven seal: if the oven seal is heavily soiled, the oven door will no longer close properly when the oven is in operation. The fronts of adjacent units could be damaged. Always keep the oven seal clean.

  • Oven door as a bearing surface: do not stand or place objects on the oven door when it is open. Do not hang objects on the oven door.

  • Carrying the appliance: do not carry or hold the appliance by the door handle. The door handle cannot support the weight of the appliance and could break.

  • Heavy accessories: do not pull out heavily laden accessories too far without first unloading them sufficiently. Heavy accessories will tip when pulled out. This causes pressure to be exerted on the shelf supports in the cooking compartment, which can damage the enamel. Relieve the strain on the accessories when they are pulled out by raising them slightly with one hand. Caution: always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when handling hot accessories.

Environmental protection

Your new appliance is particularly energy-efficient.
Here you can find tips on how to save even more energy when using the appliance, and how to dispose of your appliance properly.

Saving energy with your oven

  • Only preheat the oven if this is specified in the recipe or in the operating instruction tables.
  • Use dark, black lacquered or enamelled baking tins. They absorb the heat particularly well.
  • Open the oven door as infrequently as possible while cooking, baking or roasting.
  • It is best to bake more than one cake, one after the other. The oven is still warm. This reduces the baking time for the second cake. You can also place two loaf tins next to each other.
  • For longer cooking times, you can switch the oven off 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time and use the residual heat to finish cooking.

Saving energy with the hob

  • Always use a saucepan which is the correct size for your food. A larger, less full saucepan requires a lot of energy.
  • Always place a suitable lid on the saucepan.
  • Switch to a lower heat setting in good time.
  • The gas flame must always be in contact with the base of the saucepan.

Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic equipment – WEEE).

Notes

  • Slight differences in color on the front of the appliance are caused by the use of different materials, such as glass, plastic and metal.
  • Shadows on the door panels, which look like streaks, are caused by reflections made by the interior lighting.
  • Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures. This can cause some slight color variation. This is normal and does not affect operation.
    The edges of thin trays cannot be completely enameled. As a result, these edges can be rough.
    This does not impair the anti-corrosion protection.

Surfaces in the cooking compartment
The back wall and side parts in the cooking compartment are self-cleaning. You can tell this from the rough surface.
The cooking compartment floor and ceiling are enamelled and have smooth surfaces.
Cleaning enamel surfaces
Clean the smooth enamel surfaces with a dish cloth and hot soapy water or a vinegar solution. Then dry them with a soft cloth.
Soften baked-on food remnants with a damp cloth and soapy water. Use stainless steel wire wool or oven cleaner to remove stubborn dirt.
Caution!
Never use oven cleaner in the cooking compartment when it is still warm. This may damage the enamel.
Remove all food remnants from the cooking compartment and the appliance door before you next heat up the appliance.
Leave the cooking compartment open to dry after cleaning it.
Note : Food residues can cause white deposits to form.
These are harmless and do not affect how the appliance works. You can remove these residues using lemon juice if required.
Cleaning self-cleaning surfaces
The self-cleaning surfaces are coated with a porous, matte ceramic layer. This coating absorbs and dispels splashes from baking and roasting while the appliance is in operation.
If the self-cleaning surfaces no longer clean themselves sufficiently and dark stains appear, they can be cleaned using the cleaning function. To do this, refer to the information in the relevant section.
Caution!
Do not use oven cleaner on self-cleaning surfaces. This will damage the surfaces. If oven cleaner does get onto these surfaces, dab it off immediately using water and a sponge cloth. Do not rub the surface and do not use abrasive cleaning aids.

Keeping the appliance clean
Always keep the appliance clean and remove dirt immediately so that stubborn deposits of dirt do not build up.
Warning – Risk of fire!
Loose food remnants, fat and meat juices may catch fire. Before using the appliance, remove the worst of the food remnants from the cooking compartment, heating elements and accessories.
Tips

  • Clean the cooking compartment after each use. This will ensure that dirt cannot be baked on.

Tested for you in our cooking studio

Here, you can find a selection of dishes and the ideal settings for them. We will show you which type of heating and temperature are best suited to your dish.
You will get information on suitable cooking accessories and the height at which they should be placed in the oven. You will also get tips about cookware and preparation methods.
Note : A lot of steam can build up in the cooking compartment when cooking food.
Your appliance is very energy-efficient and radiates very little heat to its surroundings during operation. Due to the high difference in temperature between the appliance interior and the external parts of the appliance, condensation may build up on the door, control panel or adjacent kitchen cabinet panels. This is a normal physical phenomenon. Condensation can be reduced by preheating the oven or opening the door carefully.

Tips for using your appliance

Here you will find a selection of tips on ovenware and preparation methods.
Notes

  • Use the accessories provided. Additional accessories may be obtained as special accessories from specialist retailers or from the after-sales service.
    Before using the oven, remove any unnecessary accessories and ovenware from the cooking compartment.

  • Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when taking accessories or cookware out of the cooking compartment.

Baking tips

You want to find out whether the cake is completely cooked in the middle.| Push a cocktail stick into the highest point on the cake. If the cocktail stick comes out clean with no dough residue, the cake is ready.
---|---
The cake collapses.| Next time, use less liquid. Alternatively, set the temperature to be 10 °C lower and extend the baking time. Adhere to the specified ingredients and preparation instructions in the recipe.
The cake has risen in the middle but is lower around the edge.| Only grease the base of the springform cake tin. After baking, loosen the cake carefully with a knife.
The fruit juice overflows.| Next time, use the universal pan.
Small baked items stick to one another during baking.| There should be a gap of approx. 2 cm around each item. This gives enough space for the baked items to expand well and brown on all sides.
The cake is too dry.| Set the temperature 10 °C higher and shorten the baking time.
The cake is generally too light in col- our.| If the shelf position and the cookware are correct, then you should increase the temperature if necessary or extend the baking fime.
The cake is too light on top, and too dark underneath.| Bake the cake one level higher in the oven the next time.
The cake is too dark on top, and too light underneath.| Bake the cake one level lower in the oven the next time. Select a lower temperature and extend the baking time.
Cakes baked in a tray or tin are too brown at the back.| Place the baking tray in the middle of the accessories, not directly against the back wall.
The whole cake is too dark.| Select a lower temperature next time and extend the baking time if necessary.
The cake is unevenly browned.| Select a slightly lower temperature.
Protruding greaseproof paper can affect the air circulation. Always cut greaseproof paper to size.
Ensure that the baking fin does not stand directly in front of the openings in the cooking compartment back wall.
When baking small items, you should use similar sizes and thicknesses wherever possible.
You were baking on several levels. The items on the top baking tray are darker than those on the lower baking tray.| Always select hot air when baking on several levels. Baked items that are placed into the oven on trays or in baking tins/dishes at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.
The cake looks good, but is not cooked properly in the middle.| Use a lower temperature and bake slightly longer; if necessary, add slighfly less liquid. For cakes with a moist topping, bake the base first. Sprinkle it with almonds or breadcrumbs and then place the topping on top.
The cake cannot be turned out of the dish when it is turned upside down.| Allow the cake to cool down for 5 to 10 minutes after baking. If it still sticks, carefully loosen the cake around the edges again using a knife. Turn the cake tin upside down again and cover it several times with a cold, wet cloth. Next time, grease the baking tin/dish and sprinkle with bread crumbs.

Tips for Roasting and Braising

The roast is too dark and the crackling is burned in places, and/or the roast is too dry.| Check the shelf position and temperature. Select a lower temperature the next time and reduce the roasting
time if necessary.
---|---
The crackling is too thin.| Increase the temperature or switch on the grill briefly at the end of the roasting time.
The roast looks good but the juices are burnt.| Next time, use a smaller roasting dish and add more liquid if necessary.
The roast looks good but the juices are too clear and watery.| Next time, use a larger roasting dish and add less liquid if necessary.
The meat gets burned during braising.| The roasting dish and lid must fit together well and close properly.
Reduce the temperature and add more liquid when braising if necessary.

ATTENTION!
Acidic food may damage the grid

  • Do not place acidic food, such as fruit or food with an acidic marinade directly on the pan support.

Information for those allergic to nickel
In rare cases, small amounts of nickel may pass into the food.
Acrylamide in foodstuffs
Acrylamide is mainly produced in grain and potato products prepared at high temperatures, such as potato crisps, chips, sliced bread, bread rolls, bread or fine baked goods  (biscuits, gingerbread, spiced biscuit).

Tips for keeping acrylamide to a minimum

General| ■ Keep cooking times as short as possible.
■ Cook food until it is golden brown, but not too dark.
■ Large, thick pieces of food contain less acrylamide.
---|---
Baking| With top/bottom heating at max. 200 °C.
With hot air at max. 180 °C.
Biscuits| With top/bottom heating at max. 190 °C.
With hot air at max. 170 °C.
Egg or egg yolk reduces the production of acrylamide.
Oven chips| Spread out a single layer evenly on the baking tray. Cook at least 400 g at once on a baking tray so that the chips do not dry out.
