Do not use plastic containers.
These melt at high temperatures
and could damage the appliance.
Do not heat up unopened tins or
jars of food in the oven. Pressure
can build up and they may explode.
This could result in injury or damage.
Do not push pots and pans around
on the oven floor as this could
damage the surface.
Do not lean or sit on an open oven
door, or place heavy items on it.
This could damage the appliance. The
oven door can support a maximum load
of 15 kg.
Make sure that nothing gets
trapped between the door and the
oven.
Cover any food which is left in the
oven to be kept hot. Any moisture
in the food could lead to corrosion
damage in the oven. This also prevents
the food from drying out.
If food is left in the oven after
cooking, e.g. to take advantage of
the residual heat, turn the temperature
selector to the lowest setting. Leave the
function selector at the position set.
Do not switch the appliance off until the
food has been removed.
Moisture in the oven could lead to
condensation forming on the control
panel and surrounding kitchen furniture
and drops of moisture collecting under
the worktop.
Condensation can:
- damage the housing unit / worktop.
- lead to moisture damage in the oven.
On models fitted with a catalyser it
could also result in deposits remaining
in the catalyser, causing an unpleasant
smell to arise the next time the
appliance is switched on.
Bake larger deep-frozen items
such as pizzas on baking paper on
the rack itself or in the pizza pan (see
"Extra accessories"). Placing them on
the baking tray or in the grill pan can
cause the metal to distort. This
distortion would increase with
subsequent use.
Deep frozen foods such as oven chips
or potato croquettes can be cooked on
the baking tray or grill pan.
