With telescopic extendible guides, ﬁ rst pull out the guides of one level and place the grid or the baking tray onto them. Then, push them in with your hand as far as they will go.

Before pyrolytic cleaning, remove all accessories, from the oven!

GLASS BAKING DISH is used for cooking with all oven systems. It can also be used as a serving tray.

The GRID is used for grilling or as support for a pan, baking tray or baking dish with the food.

There is a safety latch on the grid. Therefore, lift the grid

slightly at the front when pulling it out from the oven.

The SHALLOW BAKING SHEET is used for baking pastry and cakes.
