Fum es e xha ust Oven • Never stand or sit on the oven open door. Never hang any weight at the handle of the oven door when open. • Use oven gloves to remove baking trays and accessories when the oven is hot. • Do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium foil. • Do not place inflammable material in the oven - risk of fire if the oven is inadvertently switched on. 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. • To avoid permanently damaging the glass-ceramic top, do not use: - pots with bottoms that are not perfectly flat, - metal pots with enamelled bottom. • 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 glass-ceramic 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 clothes on the hot cooking zones. • Do not drag pans across the glass-ceramic surface - risk of scratches. • If the cooktop is fitted with halogen lamps, do not stare at them when they are switched on. • Avoid spilling sugar and similar substances on the cooktop. Should this happen, clean the cooktop carefully following the care and maintenance instructions in this handbook. 23 3gb54361. fm5 Page 24 Thursday, May 9, 2002 6:01 PM ENERGY SAVING TIPS • Use pots and pans whose bottom diameter is equal to that of the cooking zone or slightly larger. • Only use flat-bottomed pots and pans. On completion of pre-heating, a brief acoustic signal is emitted to inform the user that the oven has reached a suitable temperature for food to be introduced. To optimize energy consumption, if the oven is already hot, the preheating phase is automatically set. The duration of the pre-heating phase depends on the initial oven temperature and whether the cooktop is switched on or not. N. B. : It is best not to place food in the oven during the pre-heating phase, as the temperature is not sufficient for cooking. [. . . ] Cleaning the hotplates Clean the hotplates when they are warm (not hot!). Use a cloth dampened with water and salt. Dry and clean with a cloth moistened with cooking oil. CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE GLASS-CERAMIC COOKTOP Clean the cooktop, when it is cool, after each use. This will prevent the build-up of dirt and make cleaning easier. [. . . ]
