General information
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.
■ Aluminium foil: Aluminium foil in the cooking 
compartment must not come into contact with the 
door glass. This could cause permanent 
discolouration of the door glass.
■ 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.
■ Moisture in the cooking compartment: Over an 
extended period of time, moisture in the cooking 
compartment may lead to corrosion. Allow the 
cooking compartment to dry after use. Do not keep 
moist food in the closed cooking compartment for 
extended periods of time. Do not store food in the 
cooking compartment.
■ Cooling with the appliance door open: Following 
operation at high temperatures, only allow the 
cooking compartment to cool down with the door 
closed. Do not trap anything in the appliance door. 
Even if the door is only left open a crack, the front of 
nearby furniture may become damaged over time.
Only leave the cooking compartment to dry with the 
door open if a lot of moisture was produced whilst 
the oven was operating.
■ 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.
■ Extremely dirty seal: If the seal is very dirty, the 
appliance door will no longer close properly during 
operation. The fronts of adjacent units could be 
damaged. Always keep the seal clean. Never 
operate the appliance if the seal is damaged or 
missing. 
■ Appliance door as a seat, shelf or worktop: Do not 
sit on the appliance door, or place or hang anything 
on it. Do not place any cookware or accessories on 
the appliance door.
■ 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.
■ 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.

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
■ Only preheat the appliance if this is specified in the 
recipe or in the tables in the operating instructions.
■ Leave frozen food to defrost before placing it in the 
cooking compartment.
■ Use baking tins that are dark-coloured, painted black 
or have an enamel coating. These absorb the heat 
particularly well.
■ Remove any unnecessary accessories from the 
cooking compartment.
