Notes
¡ Enamel burns at very high temperatures, causing minor discol-
ouration. The functionality of your appliance is not affected by
this.
¡ The edges of thin baking trays cannot be completely enamelled
and may be rough. This does not impair corrosion protection.
¡ Food residues will leave a white coating on the enamel surfaces.
The coating does not pose a health risk. The functionality of your
appliance is not affected by this. Remove residues with lemon
juice.
