[. . . ] All ovens require this steam and other fumes to be vented from the oven cavity. For reasons of safety and aesthetics, we have determined that an opening at the bottom of the door is the optimum solution. Consequently, vapour may be seen to be coming from this area on occasions (see picture). This is a normal occurrence and the bottom trim can be cleaned after removal of the door as described on “Cleaning the oven and accessories”. Heavy weights must not be placed on the open door as this may result in damage to the cavity and hinges. Max weight: 7 kg (15lbs). 19 PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS Conventional electric/glass-ceramic cooktop • • Do not switch on the hotplates/cooking zones when there is no pan in position. The cooktop features different size hotplates/ cooking zones. Use pans whose base diameter is the same as or slightly larger than the diameter of the hotplate/cooking zone. The use of pans with concave or convex bottoms may damage the cooktop. Do not use the cooktop as a worksurface or a support surface. Do not leave the appliance unattended when frying food - risk of fire. Specific recommendations for glassceramic cooktops • With the fast boiling function, only use stainless steel pans with double layer bottoms. If the glass ceramic surface should break or crack due to violent impact (falling objects, etc. ) do not use it and call After Sales Service immediately. Do not place food wrapped in aluminium foil, plastic containers or cloths on the hot cooking zones. Do not drag pans across the glass-ceramic surface - risk of scratches. If your hob is provided with halogen lamps, we recommend that you do not stare at them during the operation. Avoid spilling sugar and similar substances on the cooktop.
