Appliance purpose

The appliance is intended for conventional preparation of food in households and should not be used for any other purpose. Individual options of use are comprehensively described in this instruction manual.

Oven door switch

Cooling fan

Extended operation of the cooling fan

Oven self-cleaning function – PYROLYSIS

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.

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

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.

Automatic oven door lock

418669

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 thirty minutes after the resumption of power supply, even if the appliance has cooled down in the meantime.

Important warnings

Switching the appliance on

• Remove all accessories from the oven and clean them with warm water and regular detergent. Do not use any abrasive cleaners.

• When the oven heats up for the ﬁ rst time, the characteristic smell of “the new” will be emitted. Therefore, ventilate the room thoroughly during ﬁ rst operation.

• Use dark, black silicon-layered or enamel-coated baking sheets and trays as they conduct the heat very well.

• Only preheat the oven if required by the recipe of in the tables in these instructions.

• Heating an empty oven consumes a lot of energy. Hence, baking several types of pastry or several pizzas successively will save a lot of energy as the oven will already have been preheated.

• The oven can be switched off approximately 10 minutes before the end of the cooking process to save energy as you make use of the accumulated heat.

After the appliance is connected to the power mains for the ﬁ rst time, the display will light up. The CLOCK and LANGUAGE SELECTION menu will appear (see chapter Language Selection and Setting the Clock). Switch on the appliance by touching the ON/OFF sensor ( display to open the main menu.

system, temperature, duration, cooking end time, and preheating.

All cooking parameters and settings may be changed

during cooking as well.

The oven may operate in the following modes:

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.

Preset temperature 200°C.

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. Preset temperature 240°C.

418669

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. Preset temperature 240°C.

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. Preset temperature 170°C.

Hot air and lower heater

With this operation mode, the lower heater and the hot air fan operate simultaneously. This is particularly convenient for making pizza. Also ideal for moist or heavy pastry, fruit cakes made of leavened dough, short pastry, or cheesecakes. Preset temperature 200°C.

Hot air

With this operation mode, the round heater and the fan operate simultaneously. The fan at the oven back wall causes the hot air to circulate constantly around a roast of pastry. This operation mode is appropriate for roasting meat and making pastry on several shelves simultaneously. Cooking temperature should be set lower than with conventional operation modes. Preset temperature 160°C.

Lower heater and fan

With this operation mode, the lower heater and the fan operate simultaneously. Used for baking low leavened dough and preserving fruit and vegetables. Use the ﬁ rst shelf position from the bottom and shallow rather than deep baking trays to allow the warm air circulate around the upper side of the dish as well. Preset temperature 160°C.

418669

Lower heater / Aqua Clean

The heat is only radiated by the heater installed in the bottom of the oven. Select this operation mode when you wish to bake / cook the bottom side of the dish more thoroughly (e.g. for moist pastry with fruit ﬁ lling). The lower heater can be used for cleaning the oven. Details are given in the “Cleaning and maintenance” section.

Upper heater

The heat is radiated only by the heater installed in the upper wall of the oven. Use this operation mode only when the upper side of the dish should be cooker more thoroughly (e.g. for additional browning). Preset temperature 150°C.
