Operating Instructions
1 Safety instructions
This appliance conforms with the following EU Directives:
5
– 73/23/EEC dated 19.02.1973 Low Voltage Directive
– 89/336/EEC dated 03.05.1989 EMC Directive inclusive of Amending
Directive 92/31/EEC
– 93/68/EEC dated 22.07.1993 CE Marking Directive
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 serv-
ice engineers. Considerable danger may result from improper repairs.
If repairs become necessary, please contact our Customer Services or
your dealer.
Child Safety
• Never leave children unsupervised when the appliance is in use.
Safety whilst Using
• 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 dur-
ing 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.
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.
5
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 or 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. This could damage the
oven enamel.
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.

3 Cooling fan
The fan switches on automatically in order to keep the appliance’s surfaces cool. When the oven is switched off, the fan continues to run to
cool the appliance down, then switches itself off automatically.
Gar Control
2 This function makes it possible to save energy by the deliberate use of
residual heat.
After the oven is switched off, the Gar Control indicator lights up. As
long as the indicator is lit, the temperature in the oven is high enough
to finish the cooking process.
After that the indicator goes out.
3 As a rule of thumb: With longer cooking times, the oven can be
switched off approx. 10 mins. before the end of the cooking time.
The Gar Control function can be used with the oven functions Fan-assisted circulation , Conventional and Rotitherm .
The Gar Control function can be usefully used if the oven has already
been on for at least 30 mins. at a minimum temperature of 160°C.

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.
Inserting the baking tray or
roasting pan
Push the baking tray or roasting pan
between the guide bars of the selected oven level.
Inserting the oven shelf:
Insert the oven shelf so that the
feet point downwards.
Push the oven shelf between the
guide bars of the selected oven level.
3 The high rim around the oven shelf
is an additional device to prevent
cookware from slipping.
Inserting the oven shelf and
roasting pan together
Lay the oven shelf on the roasting
pan.
Push the roasting pan between the
guide bars of the selected oven level.
17
Inserting/Removing the Grease Filter
Only use the grease filter when
roasting to protect the rear heating
elements from fat splashes.
Inserting the grease filter
Hold the grease filter by the
grip and insert the two mounts
downwards into the opening on
the rear wall of theoven (fan
opening).

3 We recommend when boiling or searing foods using the highest heat
setting at first and then letting foods requiring a longer cooking time
finish cooking on the desired heat setting.
1 Overheated fats and oils can ignite quickly. If you are cooking foods in
fat or oil (e.g. chips), remain nearby.

Baking
Oven function: Fan-assisted circulation , Fan cooking or
Conventional
Baking tins
• For Conventional , dark metal and non-stick tins are suitable.
• For Fan-assisted circulation or Fan cooking , bright metal tins
are also suitable.
Oven levels
• Baking with Conventional and Fan-assisted circulation is possi-
ble on one oven level.
• With Fan cooking you can bake on up to 3 baking trays at the
same time:
1 baking tray:
e.g. oven level 3
1 baking tin:
e.g. oven level 1
2 baking trays:
e. g. oven levels 1 and 3
3 baking trays:
oven levels 1, 3 and 5
21
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 cook-
ing. 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 necessary, 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, bak-
ing 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 set-
ting. Different rates of browning even out as baking progresses.
2 With longer baking times, you can switch the oven off about 10 min-
utes 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 Rotitherm
Insert the grease filter when roasting!
Roasting dishes
• Any heat-resistant ovenware is suitable to use for roasting (please
read the manufacturer'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 3560 minutes with 1 litre jars), switch the oven off or reduce the temperature to 100°C (see table).
