Causes of damage
Hob
Caution!
■Rough pot and pan bases scratch the ceramic.
■Avoid boiling pots dry. This may cause damage.
■Never place hot pots or pans on the control panel, the
display area or the surround. This may cause damage.
■Damage can occur if hard or pointed objects fall on the hob.
■Aluminium foil and plastic containers melt on hot hotplates.
Oven protective foil is not suitable for your hob.
Overview
The following table provides an overview of the most frequent
kinds of damage:
Damage to the oven
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.
Damage to the plinth drawer
Caution!
Do not place hot objects in the plinth drawer. It could be
damaged.
Damage Cause Action

You can save energy by using the residual heat to keep a small
dish warm, for example.

Your accessories
The accessories supplied with your appliance are suitable for
making many meals. Ensure that you always insert the
accessories into the cooking compartment the right way round.
There is also a selection of optional accessories, with which
you can improve on some of your favourite dishes, or simply to
make working with your oven more convenient.
Inserting accessories
You can insert the accessories into the cooking compartment
at 5 different levels. Always insert them as far as they will go so
that the accessories do not touch the door panel.
The accessories can be pulled out approximately halfway until
they lock in place. This allows dishes to be removed easily.
When sliding the accessories into the cooking compartment,
ensure that the indentation is at the back. They can only lock in
place from this position.
With the pull-out rails at levels 2 and 3, you can pull the
accessories out further.
Depending on the appliance equipment, the pull-out rails lock
into place when they are pulled out fully. This makes it easier
for you to place the accessories on top. To unlock, push the
pull-out rails back into the cooking compartment with a certain
amount of force.
Note: The accessories may deform when they become hot.
Once they cool down again, they regain their original shape.
This does not affect their operation.
Hold the baking tray securely on the sides with both hands and
push it parallel into the frame. Avoid movements to the right or
left when pushing the baking tray in. Otherwise, it will be difficult
to push the tray in and the enamelled surfaces could be
damaged.
You can buy accessories from the after-sales service, from
specialist retailers or online. Please specify the HEZ number.
Optional accessories
You can buy optional accessories from your after-sales service
or from specialist retailers. You will find a variety of suitable
products for your oven in our brochures and on the Internet.
The availability of optional accessories and the options for
ordering them on the internet vary depending on the country.
Information on purchasing accessories can be found in the
sales documents.
Not every optional accessory is suitable for every appliance.
When purchasing, always quote the complete identification
number (E no.) of your appliance.
