Oven door switch

Cooling fan

Extended operation of the cooling fan

Control lamps

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.

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.

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.
