Children's safety

• Never leave small children unattended while the appliance is in operation.

• To protect against unauthorised use the appliance is equipped with a switch-on lock.

Safety during use

• Persons (including children) who, due to their physical, sensory or mental capacity or
their inexperience or lack of knowledge are unable to use the appliance safely should
not operate this appliance without the supervision or instruction of a responsible person.

• This appliance should be used only for normal domestic cooking, roasting and baking of
food.

• Be careful if connecting electrical appliances to sockets near to this appliance. Electrical
leads must not be caught under the hot oven door.

WARNING!

WARNING: Risk of burns! The oven interior becomes hot when in use.

• If you use ingredients containing alcohol in the oven, a slightly flammable mixture of
alcohol and air may ensue. In this case, be careful when opening the door. Do not handle
any sources of heat, sparks or naked flames when doing so.

How to avoid damage to the appliance

• Do not line the oven with aluminium foil and do not place baking trays, pots, etc. on the
oven floor, as the heat that builds up will damage the oven enamel.

• Fruit juices dripping from the baking tray will leave stains, which you will not be able to
remove. For very moist cakes, use a deep tray.

• Do not put any strain on the oven door when open.

• Never pour water directly into the oven when it is hot. This could cause damage to and
discoloration of the enamel.

• Rough handling, especially around the edges of the front panel, can cause the glass to
break.

• Do not store any flammable materials inside the oven. These could ignite when the oven
is switched on.

• Do not store any moist foods inside the oven. These could damage the oven enamel.

• Do not leave dishes uncovered in the oven after switching off the cooling fan. Moisture
may form inside the oven or on the glass door and also get onto the units.

Note: Enamel coating

Changes in the colour of the oven's enamel surface as a result of use do not affect the
oven's suitability for normal and correct use. They therefore do not constitute a defect in
terms of warranty law.

Principle

With Auto Cooking , the oven calculates the cooked time needed.
Unlike conventional cooking, you do not need to set a type of heat or cooking time. Instead,
you simply select the desired food type from the category menu.

" You can use Auto Cooking on one oven level only.
Only use the fat filter when roasting! Otherwise the oven cannot calculate an optimal
cooking time.
To attain optimum results, you should use the recommended cookware and/or accessories.
You can find further information in the section Tips, Charts and Advice.

Operation

Before using for the first time

Before using the oven, the language, then the display contrast, brightness and the current
time must be set first.

When turning the oven on for the first time, " SET LANGUAGE" will appear on the display
after a few seconds.

2. Then press the OK button to confirm your selection.

Calibration Adjusting to suit the environment

For optimal results using "Auto-Kochen" the oven must be adjusted to suit the surroundings.
This process is called Kalibrierung and takes approximately 4 hours.

The oven does not need to be calibrated if you only want to use it for conventional cooking.

Please take note of the following points prior to Kalibrierung

•

The Kalibrierung must take place at a room temperature below 35°C.

•

For Kalibrierung, install the oven into its final location.

• For the Kalibrierung, connect the oven to the mains supply that will always be used.

• The grease filter must be removed before Kalibrierung.

• The supplied shelf runners must be mounted. (see instructions in the chapter "Cleaning
and Care")

• If the oven location, electrical connection or other above mentioned aspect is changed,
the oven must always be recalibrated so that the function "Auto-Kochen" delivers op­timal results.

You will find calibration in the "Einstellungen", "Kalibrierung" menu.
After calibration, the appliance is ready for use as soon as it has cooled down.
