Touching up damaged paint
Small areas of damaged paint finish can be touched
up with a spray can of special heat-resistant paint,
available from your supplier.
Touching up the enamelled sur-
face
Enamelling is a process carried out by traditional
methods, meaning that it is possible that small colour
differences and damage may occur. The appliances
undergo a visual inspection in the factory, that is to
say, the inspector looks at the surface for a period of
10 seconds from a distance of 1 metre.
Any damage that does not stand out is regarded as
OK. A special heat-resistant paint is supplied with the
appliance to touch up any minor damage caused
during transport.
Apply the heat-resistant paint in thin layers and leave
to dry well before using the appliance.
Some enamel colours are temperature-sensitive.
It can happen that the colour changes during use.
The original colour will return after the appliance
has cooled down.
If enamelled surfaces become very hot, hairline
cracks can occur. This is a normal phenomenon
and has no impact on the functioning of the stove.
Ensure that the stove is not overburdened. If it
does become overburdened then the surface
gets very hot, possibly resulting in lasting
damage to the enamel.
Checking the seal
Check whether the door sealing rope is still in
good condition and works well. The sealing rope
is subject to wear and will need to be replaced
over time.
Check the appliance for air leaks. Close any
chinks with stove sealant.
Allow the sealant to harden fully before
lighting the appliance, as any moisture in the
sealant will form bubbles, resulting in a new
air leak.
