Before using the oven for the ﬁ rst time

Important warnings

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.

Yellow lamp

The lamp is lit when any of the appliance functions are activated.

Backlit knob dials

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

• Remove all accessories from the oven and clean them with warm water and a conventional detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaning aids.

• When the oven is heated up for the ﬁ rst time, a speciﬁ c odor of a “new appliance” will be discharged; therefore, ventilate the room thoroughly while the oven heats up.

• Use dark, black silicon coated or enamel coated baking trays, as these transmit the heat particularly well.

• Only preheat the oven if speciﬁ cally 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.
