Causes of damage
Hob
Caution!
■Ensure that the top cover is not closed when the oven is
started up.
■Only use the burners when cookware has been placed on
top. Do not heat up empty pots or pans. The saucepan base
will be damaged.
■Clear up spills immediately. Use deep pots for dishes with a
lot of liquid. This will prevent the food from boiling over.
■Ensure that the hotplate/burner is never switched on when
the hob cover is on, e.g. by children playing.
■Keep the hotplate dry. Salt water or wet saucepan bases will
damage the hotplate.
■Never operate the hotplate without a pot on it. Never use pots
with an uneven base. Not enough heat will be drawn from the
hotplate. It may glow red.
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.

manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid a hazard.
For the installer
■An all-pole isolating switch with a contact gap of at least
3 mm must be present in the installation circuit. This is not
necessary if the appliance is connected by a plug that is
accessible to the user.

grill setting.
The small light above the temperature selector is lit when the
oven is heating. If heating is interrupted, it goes out. It does not
light up for certain settings.
The cooking compartment
The oven light is located in the cooking compartment. A cooling
fan protects the oven from overheating.
Oven light
During operation, the oven light in the cooking compartment is
on.
Cooling fan
The cooling fan switches on and off as required. The hot air
escapes above the door.
So that the cooking compartment cools down more quickly
after operation, the cooling fan continues to run for a certain
period afterwards.
Caution!
do not cover the ventilation slots. Otherwise the oven will
overheat.
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 the accessories
The accessories can be inserted in the oven at 5 different
levels. Always slide the accessories fully in to avoid them
coming into contact with the oven's glass door.
The accessories can be pulled out approximately halfway
without tipping. This allows meals to be taken out easily.
When placing the accessories into the oven, check that the
indentation is at the back. They can only lock correctly in place
in this position.
Note: Heat may cause the accessories to deform. As soon as
the accessories cool down, they regain their original shape.
Their function is not adversely affected.
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.
