2 Preventing material damage
Follow these instructions to prevent material damage to
your appliance, accessories or other objects in your kitchen.
2.1 General
Follow these instructions when using the appliance.
ATTENTION!
The presence of objects on the cooking compartment
floor at over 50 °C will cause heat to build up. The
baking and roasting times will no longer be correct and
the enamel will be damaged.
▶
Do not cover the cooking compartment floor with
any sort of foil or greaseproof paper.
▶
Do not place accessories on the cooking compartment floor.
▶
Do not place cookware on the cooking compartment floor if a temperature above 50 °C has been
set.
If aluminium foil comes into contact with the door pane,
it could cause permanent discolouration.
▶
Do not allow aluminium foil in the cooking compartment to come into contact with the door pane.
When the cooking compartment is hot, any water inside it will create steam. The change in temperature
may cause damage.
▶
Never pour water into the cooking compartment
when it is still hot.
▶
Never place cookware containing water on the
cooking compartment floor.
The prolonged presence of moisture in the cooking
compartment leads to corrosion.
▶
Allow the cooking compartment to dry after use.
▶
Do not keep moist food in the cooking compartment
for a long time with the door closed.
▶
Do not store food in the cooking compartment.
Leaving the appliance to cool down with the door open
will damage the front of neighbouring kitchen units over
time.
▶
Always allow the cooking compartment to cool
down with the door closed after cooking at high
temperatures.
▶
Take care not to trap anything in the appliance
door.
▶
Only leave the cooking compartment to dry with the
door open if a lot of moisture was produced during
operation.
Fruit juice dripping from the baking tray leaves stains
that cannot be removed.
▶
When baking very juicy fruit flans, do not pack too
much on the baking tray.
▶
If possible, use the deeper universal pan.
4
Environmental protection and saving energy en
▶
If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no
longer close properly during operation. This may damage the front of adjacent kitchen units.
▶
Keep the seal clean at all times.
▶
Never operate the appliance if the seal is damaged
or missing.
Sitting or placing objects on the appliance door may
damage it.
▶
Do not place or hang objects on the appliance door.
Do not place cookware or accessories on the appli-
ance door.
With certain models, accessories may scratch the door
pane when closing the appliance door.
▶
Always push accessories fully into the cooking com-
partment.
Carrying the appliance by the door handle could break
it. The door handle cannot support the weight of the
appliance.
▶
Do not carry or hold the appliance by the door
handle.
3 Environmental protection and saving energy
Help protect the environment by using your appliance
in a way that conserves resources and by disposing of
reusable materials properly.
3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.
▶
Sort the individual components by type and dispose
of them separately.
Information about current disposal methods are
available from your specialist dealer or local authority.
3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less power.
Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the recommended settings tell you to do so.
Not preheating the appliance can reduce the en-
¡
ergy used by up to 20%.
Use dark-coloured, black-coated or enamelled baking
tins.
These types of baking tin absorb the heat particu-
¡
larly well.
Open the appliance door as little as possible during
operation.
This will maintain the temperature in the cooking
¡
compartment and eliminate the need for the appliance to reheat.
When baking multiple dishes, do so in succession or
in parallel.
The cooking compartment is heated after baking
¡
the first dish. This reduces the baking time for the
second cake.
If the cooking time is relatively long, you can switch
the appliance off 10minutes before the cooking time
ends.
There will be enough residual heat to finish cooking
¡
the dish.
Remove any accessories that are not being used from
the cooking compartment.
Accessories that are not being used do not need to
¡
be heated.
Allow frozen food to defrost before cooking.
This will save the energy that would otherwise be
¡
required to defrost it.

wall evenly around the cooking compartment. The food is cooked in phases using residual heat.
Select a temperature of between 120°C and 230°C.
Always keep the appliance door closed when cooking.
This type of heating is used to determine the energy consumption in air recirculation mode and the energy efficiency class.
Pizza setting Cook pizza or dishes that require a lot of heat from below.
The bottom heating element and the ring-shaped heating element in the back
wall heat the cooking compartment.
Bottom heating Final baking or cooking food in a bain marie.

en Accessories
Heat-up indicator
The appliance indicates when it is heating up.
The line at the bottom of the display turns red in three
increments, from left to right, as the cooking compartment heats up. When the appliance is in operation, one
of the red sections of the line goes out during the heating phases.
When you are preheating the appliance, the optimal
time to place your food in the cooking compartment is
as soon as all three sections of the line have turned
red.
Note:Due to thermal inertia, the temperature displayed
may differ slightly from the actual temperature inside
the cooking compartment.
4.5 Cooking compartment
The functions in the cooking compartment make your
appliance easier to use.
Shelf supports
The shelf supports in the cooking compartment enable
you to place accessories at different heights.
→"Accessories", Page8
Your appliance has five shelf positions. The shelf positions are numbered from bottom to top.
You can remove the shelf supports, e. g. for cleaning.
→"Shelf supports", Page18
Self-cleaning surfaces
The self-cleaning surfaces in the cooking compartment
are coated with a porous, matt ceramic layer and have
a rough surface. When the appliance is in operation,
the self-cleaning surfaces absorb splashes from roasting or grilling and break them down.
The following surfaces are self-cleaning:
¡ Back wall
¡ Ceiling
¡ Side walls
Use the cleaning function regularly to help retain the
cleaning ability of the self-cleaning surfaces and prevent damage.
→"EcoClean ", Page17
Lighting
The oven light lights up the cooking compartment.
With most types of heating and functions, the lighting
lights up during operation. When the function selector
is turned to bring operation to an end, the lighting goes
out.
The Oven light setting on the function selector can be
used to switch on the light without heating.
Cooling fan
The cooling fan switches on and off depending on the
appliance's temperature. The hot air escapes above
the door.
ATTENTION!
Do not cover the ventilation slot above the appliance
door. The appliance overheats.
▶
Ensure that the ventilation slots are unobstructed.
To ensure that the appliance cools down more quickly
after operation, the cooling fan continues to run for a
certain period afterwards.
Appliance door
If you open the appliance door during operation, the
operation continues.
5 Accessories
Use original accessories. These have been made especially for your appliance.
Note:Accessories may become deformed if they get
hot. Deformation has no effect on function. As the accessory cools down, it will regain its original shape.
