Causes of damage
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.
■ 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.
■ Very dirty door seal: If the door seal is very dirty, the
appliance door will no longer close properly when the
appliance is in use. The fronts of adjacent units could be
damaged.Always keep the door 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.
■ 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.
■ Baking tins: Ovenware must be heat and steam resistant.
Silicone baking tins are not suitable for combined operation
with steam.
■ 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.
■ Hot water in the water tank: Hot water can damage the pump.
Only fill the water tank with cold water.
■ Descaling solution: Do not allow descaling solution to come
into contact with the control panel or other sensitive surfaces.
These will damage the surfaces. If this does happen, remove
the descaling solution immediately with water.
■ Cleaning the water tank: Do not clean the water tank in the
dishwasher. Otherwise, the water tank will be damaged.
Clean the water tank with a soft cloth and standard washing-
up liquid.
Energy and environment tips
Here you can find tips on how to save energy when baking and
roasting and how to dispose of your appliance properly.
Note: For this appliance, an energy consumption value has
been established that meets DIN EN 50304/DIN EN 60350.
This energy consumption value is 30% below that for energy
efficiency class A.
Depending on the appliance equipment, the additional

(see section: Switching off NeffLight®).
Saving energy
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 appliance door as little as possible during cooking,
baking or roasting.
It is best to bake several cakes one after the other. The cooking
compartment is still warm. This may reduce the baking time for
the second cake.
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.
