Operating Instructions

1 Safety instructions

Electrical safety

• This appliance must be only connected by a registered electrician.

• In the event of a fault or damage to the appliance: Take the fuses out or

switch off.

• Repairs to the appliance must only be carried out by qualified service engi-
neers. Considerable danger may result from improper repairs. If repairs be-

come necessary, please contact our Customer Services or your dealer.

Child Safety

• Never leave children unsupervised when the appliance is in use.

Safety whilst Using

• People (including children) who, because of their physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or their inexperience or ignorance are not able to use the device
safely, should not use this device without supervision or instruction by a re­sponsible person.

• This appliance is intended to be used for cooking, roasting and baking food in
the home.

• Take care when connecting electric appliances to sockets nearby. Do not allow
connecting leads to come into contact with or to catch beneath the hot oven
door.

• Warning: Risk of burns! The interior of the oven becomes hot during use.

• Using ingredients containing alcohol in the oven may create an alcohol-air

mixture that is easily ignited. In this case, open the door carefully. Do not have
embers, sparks or naked flames in the vicinity when opening the door.

5Operating Instructions

3 Information on acrylamides

According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of food, espe­cially in products containing starch, can constitute a health risk due to acryla­mides. Therefore we recommend cooking at the lowest possible temperatures
and not browning foods too much.

Safety instructions6

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 dam-

age to or discolouration 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. This could damage the oven
enamel.

• After switching off the cooling fan, do not keep uncovered dishes in the oven.
Moisture may condense in the oven interior or on the glass doors and may get
into the units.

3 Note on enamel coating

Changes in the colour of the oven’s enamel coating as a result of use do not af­fect the appliance’s suitability for normal and correct use. They therefore do not
constitute a defect in the sense of the warranty law.

Inserting the Oven Shelf, Baking Tray and Roasting Pan

3 Shelf runner safety and anti-tip device

As a shelf runner safety device, all insertable components have a small curved
indentation at the bottom on the right and left-hand edge.
Always insert insertable components so that this indentation is at the back of
the oven interior. This indentation is also important for preventing the insertable
components from tipping.

Uses, Tables and Tips24

Uses, Tables and Tips

Baking

Oven function: Fan-assisted circulation or Conventional

Baking tins

• For Conventional , dark metal and non-stick tins are suitable.

• For Fan-assisted circulation bright metal tins are also suitable.

Oven levels

• Baking with Conventional is only possible on one level.

• With Fan-assisted circulation you can bake dry cakes and biscuits on

2 baking trays at the same time.

1 baking tray:
e.g. oven level 3

1 cake tin:
e.g. oven level 1

2 baking trays:
e. g. oven levels 1 and 3

25Uses, Tables and Tips

General Instructions

• Insert the tray with the bevel at the front.

• With Conventional or Fan-assisted circulation you can also bake with

two tins next to one another on the oven shelf at the same time. This does not
significantly increase baking time.

3 When frozen foods are used the trays inserted may distort during cooking. This

is due to the large difference in temperature between the freezing temperature
and the temperature in the oven. Once the trays have cooled the distortion will
disappear again.

How to use the Baking Tables

The tables give the required temperature settings, baking times and oven shelf
levels for a selection of typical dishes.

• Temperatures and baking times are for guidance only, as these will depend on

the consistency of pastry or mixture, the number and the type of cake tin.

• We recommend using the lower temperature the first time and then if neces-

sary, for example, if a deeper browning is required, or baking time is too long,
selecting a higher temperature.

• If you cannot find the settings for a particular recipe, look for the one that is

most similar.

• If baking cakes on baking trays or in tins on more than one level, baking time

can be extended by 10-15 minutes.

• Moist recipes (for example, pizzas, fruit flans, etc.) are baked on one level.

• Cakes and pastries at different heights may brown at an uneven rate at first. If

this occurs, please do not change the temperature setting. Different rates
of browning even out as baking progresses.

• Your new oven may bake or roast differently to your previous appliance. So

adapt your normal settings (temperature, cooking times) and oven shelf levels
to the recommendations in the following tables.

2 With longer baking times, you can switch the oven off about 10 minutes before

the end of the baking time, in order to utilise the residual heat.
Unless otherwise stated, the values given in the tables assume that cooking is
started with the oven cold.

Roasting

Oven function: Conventional or Rothitherm
Roasting dishes

• Any heat-resistant ovenware is suitable to use for roasting (please read the manufac-

turer's instructions).

• Large roasting joints can be roasted directly in the roasting tray or on the oven

shelf with the roasting tray placed below it.

• For all lean meats, we recommend roasting these in a roasting tin with a lid. This

will keep the meat more succulent.

• All types of meat, that can be browned or have crackling, can be roasted in the

roasting tin without the lid.

3 Tips on using the roasting chart

The information given in the following table is for guidance only.

• We recommend cooking meat and fish weighing 1 kg and above in the oven.

• To prevent escaping meat juices or fat from burning on to the pan, we recommend

placing some liquid in the roasting pan.

• If required, turn the roast (after 1/2 - 2/3 of the cooking time).

• Baste large roasts and poultry with their juices several times during roasting. This will

give better roasting results.

• You can switch the oven off about 10 minutes before the end of the roasting time, in

order to utilise the residual heat.

Making Preserves

Oven function: Bottom heat

• For preserving, use only commercially available preserve jars of the same size.

• Jars with twist-off or bayonet type lids and metal tins are not suitable.

• When making preserves, the first shelf position from the bottom is the one

most used.

• Use the shelf for making preserves. There is enough room on this for up to six

1-litre preserving jars.

• The jars should all be filled to the same level and clamped shut.

• Place the jars on the baking tray in such a way that they are not touching

each other.

• Pour approx. 1/2 litre of water into the baking tray so that sufficient moisture

is produced in the oven.

• As soon as the liquid starts to pearl in the first jars (after about 35-60 minutes

with 1 litre jars), switch the oven off or reduce the temperature to 100°C (see
table).

Warning: First switch off the appliance and let it cool down before carrying out
any cleaning.

Warning: For safety reasons, do not clean the appliance with steam blasters or
high-pressure cleaners.

Attention: Do not use any corrosive cleaning fluids, sharp objects or stain
removers.

Do not clean the glass oven door with abrasive fluids or metal scrapers, which
could scratch the surface. The glass could crack and shatter.
