2 Preventing material damage
2.1 General
ATTENTION!
A build-up of heat may damage the appliance.
▶Do not place anything directly on the cooking com-
partment floor.
▶Do not line the cooking compartment floor with alu-
minium foil.
▶Always place cookware in a perforated cooking con-
tainer or on a wire rack.
Chlorinated tap water (>40mg/l) may damage the ap-
pliance.
▶Use low-chloride non-carbonated mineral water.
▶You can obtain information about your tap water
from your water supplier.
Chloride and acids may damage the stainless steel sur-
face.
▶Remove any residues of salt, hot sauces, e.g.
ketchup or mustard, salted food, e.g. salted roasts,
or other foods containing chloride or acid immedi-
ately.
Aluminium foil can cause permanent discolouration on
the door pane.
▶Ensure that the aluminium foil does not come into
contact with the door pane.
Fruit juice can cause permanent stains in the cooking
compartment.
▶Always remove fruit juice immediately.
▶Wipe with a damp cloth, followed by a dry cloth.
The prolonged presence of moisture in the cooking
compartment leads to corrosion.
▶Do not keep moist food in the cooking compartment
for a long time with the door closed.
▶Do not store food in the cooking compartment.
Rusting material may lead to corrosion in the cooking
compartment.
▶Only use original accessories in the cooking com-
partment.
▶Do not use any enamelled baking trays or grill trays.
▶Never use serving plates or cutlery that may rust.
Small parts that are not original may damage the appli-
ance.

▶If necessary, order small parts from our spare parts
service.
Heat can damage stainless steel cooking containers.
▶Only heat stainless steel cooking containers up to
230°C.
▶Do not use stainless steel cooking containers in the
oven.
Leaving the appliance to cool down with the door open
will damage the front of adjacent units over time.
▶Always allow the cooking compartment to cool
down with the door closed after cooking at high
temperatures.
▶Take care not to trap anything in the appliance
door.
If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no
longer close properly during operation. This may dam-
age the front of adjacent kitchen units.
▶Keep the seal clean at all times.

or missing.
Sitting or placing objects on the appliance door may
damage it.

a perforated cooking container, always insert the un-
perforated cooking container underneath.
Silicone bakeware is not suitable for combined opera-
tion with steam.
▶Cookware must be heat- and steam-resistant.
Using cookware with rust spots may cause corrosion in
the cooking compartment. Even the smallest spots of
rust can cause corrosion.

Hot water in the water tank may damage the steam
system.
▶Only fill the water tank with cold water.
