]Causes of damage
Ca u s e s 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.
■Aluminium foil: Aluminium foil in the cooking
compartment must not come into contact with the
door glass. This could cause permanent
discolouration of the door glass.
■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.
■Moisture in the cooking compartment: Over an
extended period of time, moisture in the cooking
compartment may lead to corrosion. Allow the
cooking compartment to dry after use. Do not keep
moist food in the closed cooking compartment for
extended periods of time. Do not store food in the
cooking compartment.
■Cooling with the appliance door open: Following
operation at high temperatures, only allow the
cooking compartment to cool down with the door
closed. Do not trap anything in the appliance door.
Even if the door is only left open a crack, the front of
nearby furniture may become damaged over time.
Only leave the cooking compartment to dry with the
door open if a lot of moisture was produced whilst
the oven was operating.
■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.
■Extremely dirty seal: If the seal is very dirty, the
appliance door will no longer close properly during
operation. The fronts of adjacent units could be
damaged. Always keep the seal clean. Never
operate the appliance if the seal is damaged or
missing. ~"Cleaning" on page 20
■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.
Damage Cause Action
Stains Food spills Remove spills immediately with a glass scraper.
Unsuitable cleaning agents Only use cleaning agents which are suitable for ceramic
Scratches Salt, sugar and sand Do not use the hob as a work surface or storage space.
Rough pot and pan bases scratch the
ceramic.
Check your cookware.
Discolouration Unsuitable cleaning agents Only use cleaning agents which are suitable for ceramic
Pan abrasion (e.g. aluminium) Lift the pots and pans when moving them.
Blisters Sugar, food with a high sugar content Remove spills immediately with a glass scraper.

■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.
■Grilling: do not insert the baking tray or universal pan
higher than level 3 when grilling. The high heat
distorts it and the enamel may be damaged when it
is removed. At level 4 and 5, only grill directly on the
wire rack.
Damage to the plinth drawer
Caution!
Do not place hot objects in the plinth drawer. It could be
damaged.
7Environmental protection
En v i r o n ment al pr ot ect i on Your new appliance is particularly energy-efficient.
Here you can find tips on how to save even more
energy when using the appliance, and how to dispose
of your appliance properly.
Saving energy
■Only preheat the appliance if this is specified in the
recipe or in the tables in the operating instructions.
■Leave frozen food to defrost before placing it in the
cooking compartment.
■Use baking tins that are dark-coloured, painted black
or have an enamel coating. These absorb the heat
particularly well.
■Remove any unnecessary accessories from the
cooking compartment.
■Open the appliance door as infrequently as possible
when the appliance is in use.

en Environmental protection

■It is best to bake several cakes one after the other.
The cooking compartment stays warm. This reduces
the baking time for the second cake. You can place
two cake tins next to each other in the cooking
compartment.
■For longer cooking times, you can switch the
appliance off 10 minutes before the end of the
cooking time and use the residual heat to finish
cooking.
Saving energy with the hob
■Use pots and pans with thick, even bases. Uneven
bases increase energy consumption.
■The diameter of pan bases should be the same size
as the hotplate. In particular, small saucepans on the
hotplate cause energy losses. Note that cookware
manufacturers often indicate the upper diameter of
the saucepan. This is usually bigger than the
diameter of the base of the pan.
■Use a small saucepan for small quantities. A larger,
less full saucepan requires a lot of energy.
■Always place suitable lids on saucepans. When
cooking without a lid, four times the energy is
required.
■Cook with only a little water. This will save energy.
Vitamins and minerals in vegetables are preserved.
■Switch to a lower heat setting in good time.
■Use the residual heat. For longer cooking times, you
can switch the hotplate off 5-10 minutes before the
end of the cooking time.
Environmentally-friendly disposal

the cooking compartment. You can also use it to select
the settings for other functions.
For temperature settings above 250 °C, the appliance
reduces the temperature to approx. 240 °C after
approx. 10 minutes. If your appliance has the top/
bottom heating or bottom heating types, this reduction
does not take place.
--------
Temperature display
When the appliance is heating, the psymbol will be lit
on the display. It goes out during pauses in the heating.
When you are preheating the appliance, the optimal
time to place your food in the cooking compartment is
when the symbol first goes out.
Note: Due to thermal inertia, the temperature displayed
may be slightly different to the actual temperature inside
the oven.
Hotplate controls
You can use the four hotplate controls to control the
heat output provided by each hotplate.
When you switch on a hotplate, the indicator lamp lights
up.
Cooking compartment
Various functions in the cooking compartment make
your appliance easier to use. For example, the cooking
compartment is well lit and a cooling fan prevents the
appliance from overheating.
Opening the appliance door
If you open the appliance door when the appliance is in
operation, the appliance will continue to operate as
before.
Interior lighting
With most heating functions and other functions, the
interior lighting in the cooking compartment will remain
lit while the oven is in operation. When the function
selector is turned to bring operation to an end, the
lighting will go out.
Cooling fan
The cooling fan switches on and off as required. The
hot air escapes above the door.
Caution!
Do not cover the ventilation slots. Otherwise, the
appliance may overheat.
So that the cooking compartment cools down more
quickly after operation, the cooling fan continues to run
for a certain period afterwards.

_Accessories
Accessor i es Your appliance is accompanied by a range of
accessories. Here, you can find an overview of the
accessories included and information on how to use
them correctly.
Accessories included
Your appliance is equipped with the following
accessories:
--------
Only use genuine accessories. They are specially
adapted for your appliance.
You can buy accessories from the after-sales service,
from specialist retailers or online.
Note: The accessories may become deformed when
they become hot. This does not affect their function.
Once they cool down again, they regain their original
shape.
Inserting accessories
The cooking compartment has five shelf positions. The
shelf positions are counted from the bottom up.
In some appliances, the highest shelf position is
marked on the cooking compartment by the grill
symbol.
Always insert accessories between the two guide rods
for the shelf position.
Accessories can be pulled out approximately halfway
without tipping.
When sliding accessories into the cooking
compartment, ensure that the kink in the side rail is at
the back. Only then will they lock in place.
Notes
■Hold the baking tray securely at the sides with both
hands and slide it into the shelf supports, keeping it
parallel. Do not move the baking tray from side to
side as you slide it in, otherwise it will not go in easily
and the enamelled surfaces may be damaged.
■Make sure that you always insert the accessories
into the cooking compartment the right way round.
■Always insert the accessories fully into the cooking
compartment so that they do not touch the appliance
door.
■Take any accessories that you will not be using out
of the cooking compartment.
Optional accessories
You can buy optional accessories from our after-sales
service, from specialist retailers or online. You will find a
comprehensive range of products for your appliance in
our brochures and online.
