If you wish to leave food in the
oven after cooking, e.g. to take
advantage of the residual heat, do not
turn the oven off. Simply select the
lowest temperature and leave the
function at the position set.
Do not switch the appliance off until the
food has been removed.
Otherwise, 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.
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.
Never add water to food on a hot
baking tray or grill pan or directly
onto food in a hot oven. The steam
created 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
Conventional top and bottom heat,
Bottom heat or Intensive bake. Do not
place a dish, tin, baking tray or grill pan
on the floor of the oven.
If using a grill pan or baking tray made
by a different manufacturer make sure
that there is a gap of at least 6 cm
between the bottom 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
appliance (e.g. by blocking the heat).
General notes
Never leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with oils
and fats as these are a fire hazard if
allowed to overheat.
Do not use the oven to heat up the
room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects left near the oven or
hob could catch fire.
