Never add water to food on a hot
baking tray or grill pan or directly
onto food in a hot oven. The steam cre
-
ated could cause serious burns or
scalding and the sudden change in
temperature can damage the enamel.
Never line the floor of the oven with
aluminium foil when using Conven
-
tional top and bottom heat A. Do not
place a dish, tin, baking tray or grill pan
on the floor of the oven.
If using a grill pan made by a different
manufacturer make sure that there is a
gap of at least 6 cm between the bot-
tom of the pan and the floor of the oven.
If these instructions are not observed
the bottom heat will be blocked. This
can cause permanent damage to the
floor of the oven.
Protective aluminium foil panels are
available in retail outlets which are
supposed to protect the oven cavity
from soiling and reduce the need for
cleaning. If used, cooking and baking
times will increase considerably.
They can also cause damage to the ap
-
pliance (e.g. by blocking the heat).
Ceramic hobs
When switched on the cooking ar
-
eas heat up. A residual heat indi
-
cator shows whether a cooking zone is
hot.
Do not cover the hob display field
by a hot pan. This could cause
damage to the residual heat indicators.
In the event of any breakages or
cracks occurring in the ceramic
hob it must be switched off immediately
and disconnected from the electricity
supply.
Contact the Service Department.
Do not use the hob until the damaged
ceramic plate has been replaced.
Continued use would be dangerous as
liquids etc. boiling over could penetrate
to the electrical components through
any crack and cause a short circuit.
Do not use the hob as a resting
place for any other objects. This
could lead to a danger of the article
catching fire or melting if there is any
residual heat or the hob is switched on
inadvertently.
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil
containers. These melt at high tem-
peratures. Additionally, they could dam-
age a ceramic hob as they melt.
Do not allow either solid or liquid
sugar or pieces of plastic or
alumium foil to get on to the cooking
zones when they are hot. Switch the
cooking zones off and while the hob is
still warm, scrape all the sugar, plastic
or aluminium remains from the hob with
a shielded blade scraper taking care
not to burn yourself.
If this is allowed to cool before the hob
has been cleaned, the ceramic surface
will be susceptible to pitting or even
cracking.
Do not drop anything on the ce
-
ramic hob.
Even a light object such as an egg cup,
could cause damage in certain circum
-
stances.
