Important warnings

• The appliance may only be connected to the power mains by a service technician or other qualified expert.

• Unprofessional tampering and repairs may result in serious physical injury and damage to the appliance. The repairs may only be carried out by the service personnel or an authorized technician.

• Do not leave small children unattended when the appliance is in operation. Risk of burning and scalding!

• During operation, the oven interior gets hot. Danger of burning!

• When connecting electrical appliances to the outlets in the vicinity of the appliance, be careful not to squeeze the power cord with the oven door.

• Do not use steam cleaners or high-pressure cleaners to clean the appliance, as this may result in an electric shock.

• During operation, oven door heats up. To provide additional protection, a third and fourth glass pane are installed. As a result, the temperature on the surface of the outermost oven door glass is lower.

• Do not cover the oven interior in aluminum foil and do not place the baking trays and other containers on the oven bottom. Aluminum foil will prevent air circulation in the oven, thus impeding the cooking process, and damage the enamel coating.

• Before activating the automatic pyrolitic cleaning cycle, carefully read and observe the instructions in the section Cleaning and Maintenance, in which correct and safe use of this function is described!

• Before activating the automatic cleaning program, remove the grid, grease filter, spit roasting set, glass baking trays, meat probe, and any other cookware that is not a part of the oven equipment.

• Do not place anything directly on the bottom of the oven cavity!

• Pieces of food, grease, and juices from the roast may ignite during the self-cleaning process.

• Danger of fire! Remove major impurities before starting the self-cleaning cycle.

• During the self-cleaning process, the oven gets very hot, even on the outside. Danger of burns!

Do not allow the children near the oven!

• Never hang flammable objects, such as cloths, on the oven door handle. Danger of fire!

• Make sure no impurities block the door lock slot / hole, as this could prevent automatic locking of the door during the oven’s pyrolitic self-cleaning cycle.

• As a result of pyrolitic cleaning, the cavity surface and oven accessories appropriate for pyrolitic cleaning may be slightly discoloured and lose its lustre.

• The oven door seal is not removable. Therefore, the manufacturer shall not be responsible for any damage to the seal caused by its removal.

• While the oven is in operation, the meat probe socket plug (only with some models) should always be in place. If it is not, the oven will not heat up.

• If the inner oven door glass is broken, large sharp pieces of glass will form. Danger of cutting!

• Oven door hinges can be damaged when overloaded. Do not place heavy pans on the open door, and do not lean against them when cleaning the oven interior. Before cleaning, remove the oven door (see section Removing and replacing the oven door). Do not step on the open oven door or sit on them – this applies particularly for children.

Extended operation of the cooling fan

Oven self-cleaning function – PYROLYSIS

Automatic oven door lock

The switch will turn off the oven heating and the fan when door is opened during oven operation; when the door is closed again, the heating is resumed.

Whenever the oven door is open, the sign “door” will appear on the oven display. In this case, the oven will not heat up.

The appliance features a built-in cooling fan which cools the appliance housing and control panel.

During the pyrolitic self-cleaning program, the cooling level is automatically increased.

After the oven is switched off, the cooling fan continues to operate for a while in order to additionally cool down the appliance.

The PYROLYSIS program allows automatic cleaning of the oven interior by employing high temperature that causes the grease stains and other impurities to incinerate and thus reduces them to ashes. When the pyrolitic cleaning program is completed and the oven has cooled down, simply wipe the ashes from the oven cavity using a damp cloth.

Before activating the automatic pyrolitic cleaning cycle, carefully read and observe the instructions in the section Cleaning and Maintenance, in which correct and safe use of this function is described!

With average use of the oven, we recommend running the pyrolitic self-cleaning cycle once a month.

As a result of pyrolitic cleaning, the cavity surface and oven accessories appropriate for pyrolitic cleaning may be slightly discoloured and lose its lustre.

For your safety, the oven door is automatically locked several minutes into the oven self-cleaning cycle (when the temperature inside the oven reaches approx. 250°C). The door is unlocked approximately thirty minutes after the end of the program.

	Do not attempt to open the oven door while the self-
	cleaning cycle is in progress. The self-cleaning cycle
	may be interrupted. Danger of burning!
	Make sure no impurities block the door lock slot / hole,
	as this could prevent automatic locking of the door
	during the oven’s pyrolitic self-cleaning cycle.
	In case of a power failure during the pyrolitic self-
	cleaning cycle, the pyrolysis program is stopped and
	the door remains locked. The door lock is disengaged	422686
	thirty minutes after the resumption of power supply,

even if the appliance has cooled down in the meantime.

Control lamps	Yellow lamp
	The lamp is lit when any of the appliance functions are activated.
	Backlit knob dials

	The dial of an activated knob is lit when a function is selected.
	Appliances with this feature do not have the yellow control lamp.

The oven

Before using the oven	• Remove all accessories from the oven and clean them with
for the first time	warm water and a conventional detergent. Do not use abrasive
	cleaning aids.
	• When the oven is heated up for the first time, a specific odor of
	a “new appliance” will be discharged; therefore, ventilate the
	room thoroughly while the oven heats up.
Important warnings	• Use dark, black silicon coated or enamel coated baking trays,
	as these transmit the heat particularly well.
	• Only preheat the oven if specifically stated in the recipe or in
	the instruction tables herein.
	• Heating up an empty oven uses a lot of energy; therefore,
	a lot of power is saved if several types of pastry are cooked
	consecutively, as the oven is already heated up.
	• Approximately ten minutes before the anticipated end of the
	cooking process, the oven may be turned off. This way, you
	will save some power and make use of the accumulated heat.
	• Note: When cooking is completed, the cooling fan will stop
	operating. If you leave the dish in the oven, steam could
	evaporate from it and condense on the front panel and the
	oven door. In order to prevent condensation, set the program
	selector switch to the »light« position. Thus, the cooling fan
	will continue to operate and cool the oven, preventing the
	accumulation of condensate.

The oven may be operated in the following modes

Oven lighting

With some models, there are two interior lighting lamps: one on the upper part of the back wall, and the other, additional lamp on middle of the right side wall. Oven lighting can be selected independently, without selecting another function. With all other modes of operation, the oven lighting is turned on automatically when the operation mode is selected.

During the self-cleaning cycle, oven lighting is turned off.

Upper / lower heater

The heaters on the upper and lower side of the oven radiate heat uniformly and evenly into the oven interior. Pastry and meat can be cooked on one shelf level only.

Large grill

With this operation mode, the upper heater and the infra heater are activated simultaneously. The infra heater installed on the oven interior ceiling radiates heat directly. To boost the heating effect or to make optimal use of the entire area of the oven grid, the upper heater is also activated. This operation mode is appropriate for cooking smaller chunks of meat, such as steaks, roasts, chops, ribs, etc.

Grill

Only the infra heater is activated (which also operates, along with the upper heater, in the Large grill mode). This mode is appropriate for grilling smaller quantities of toasted sandwiches, grill sausages, or simply for toasting bread.

Grill & fan

With this operation mode, the infra heater and the fan are activated simultaneously. It is appropriate for grilling meat and large chunks of meat or poultry on one shelf level. Also appropriate for cooking food au gratin or browning.
