■
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

to accumulate. The baking and roasting times will no longer
be correct and the enamel will be damaged.

■
the cooking compartment when it is hot. This will cause
steam. The temperature change can cause damage to the
enamel.

■
compartment when it is closed for prolonged periods This will
damage the enamel.

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.

■
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.

■
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.
