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. The cooking 
compartment floor and the evaporator dish must 
always be kept clear. A build-up of heat may 
damage the appliance. Always place ovenware in a 
perforated cooking container or on a wire rack.
■ Aluminium foil in the cooking compartment must not 
come into contact with the door panel. This could 
cause permanent discolouration of the door panel.
■ Ovenware: Ovenware must be heat and steam 
resistant.
■ Ovenware with areas of rust: Do not use any 
ovenware which displays areas of rust. Even the 
smallest spots of rust can lead to corrosion in the 
cooking compartment.
■ Dripping liquids: When steaming with a perforated 
cooking container, always insert the baking tray, the 
universal pan or the solid cooking container 
underneath. Dripping liquid is caught.
■ 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.
■ 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.

■ 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.
■ Looking after the appliance: The cooking 
compartment on your appliance is made of high-
quality stainless steel. Improper care may lead to 
corrosion in the cooking compartment. Refer to the 
care and cleaning instructions in the instruction 
manual. Remove food residues from the cooking 
compartment as soon as the appliance has cooled.
■ Hot water in the water tank: Hot water can damage 
the pump. Only fill the water tank with cold water.
