WIRE GUIDES

The wire guides allow preparation of the food on 5 levels
(please note that the levels/guides are counted from the
bottom up).
Guides 4 and 5 are intended for grilling.

The DEEP BAKING TRAY is used for roasting meat and
baking moist pastry. It can also be used as a drip tray.

TELESCOPIC GUIDES

Telescopic pull-out guides may be fi tted for the 2nd, 3rd,
and 4th level.
There are several diff erent designs of the pull-out guides
(depending on the model):
three partially extendible, one fully and two partially
extendible, and three fully extendible guides.

The switches deactivate oven heating and the fan when
the oven door is opened during the cooking process.
When the door is closed, the switches turn the heaters
back on.

housing and the appliance control panel.

EXTENDED OPERATION OF THE COOLING FAN

After the oven is switched off , the cooling fan continues
to operate for a short while in order to cool the oven. (Ex­tended cooling fan operation depends on the temperature
in the center of the oven).

Never place the deep baking tray in the fi rst guide during
the cooking process, except when grilling food or using the
roasting spit and you are only using the deep tray as a drip
tray.

The grid or the tray should always be inserted into the
groove between the two wire profi les.

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.
