NOTICE
Risk of damage!
For cleaning purposes, do not use
■
any harsh, abrasive cleaning agents
or scouring agents, steel wool, metal
scrapers, oven sprays, steam cleaners
or high-pressure cleaners! They can
damage the surface and destroy the
glass.
High-pressure cleaners can cause a
short circuit.
For example, do not allow objects
■
such as salt and pepper shakers to fall
onto the hob from cabinets above.
Even if small objects just make slight
contact with the hob, they can dam-
age the glass ceramic surface.
Do not push heavy pans across the
■
hob; this may scratch the glass ce-
ramic.
Wipe the glass ceramic and the bot-
■
tom of the pots prior to use in order
to remove any dirt which may cause
scratches.
Only use the hob as a work surface or
■
to place objects on once it has com-
pletely cooled off. Materials which
are sensitive to heat such as plastic
dishes could become damaged if this
is the case.
Do not use aluminium foil or plastic
■
containers for cooking purposes; they
could melt.
Although fi reproof glass dishes are
■
suitable for glass ceramic hobs, they
are poor heat conductors. Larger
glass containers may also cause ther-
mal stress leading to breakage.
Safety
Do not place baking trays or alumini-
■
um foil directly on the bottom of the
cooking compartment. It may cause
heat to build up inside and damage
the oven's enamel. If you wish to
place dishes directly on the bottom of
the cooking compartment, the oven
temperature must not exceed 50°C.
Be careful when handling cookware
– the enamel can be easily scratched.
The oven door is heavy and has a
■
glass front. Do not allow the door to
fall open when taking it off its hinges!
If a trolley is used to move the appli-
■
ance, the appliance must be lifted as
shown on the packaging.
Do not use the oven door handle to
■
lift the entire oven! The handle is not
designed to carry the whole weight of
the oven.
