Causes of damage

Caution!
– Overheating protection switches off the appliance:
Do not switch on the appliance when it is empty. Fill
the cooking basin with cold water or cooking liquid
at least up to the minimum mark or, as a maximum,
up to the ridge edge. Do not leave the cooking
basin to cook with nothing in it. Never heat oil in the
cooking basin.
– Damage to the glass lid: Never set the hot glass lid
on a cold worktop or cool it under cold running
water. The glass lid may crack.
Handle the glass lid with care and do not subject it
to any shocks. Mechanical load may lead to tension
in the glass. When it is subsequently heated, the
glass lid may crack.
If the glass lid is damaged, replace it immediately. If
the glass lid is damaged and glass splinters get into
the cooking basin, the food that is being prepared
there is no longer fit for consumption.
– Appliance damage caused by unsuitable
accessories: Only use the original accessories that
are supplied.
– Corrosion caused by salt or spices: Only add salt
and stock cubes to hot water. The cooking basin is
largely corrosion-resistant. However, in certain
cases, salt may corrode the material, for example.
