Your accessories

The accessories supplied with your appliance are suitable for making many meals. Ensure that you always insert the accessories into the cooking compartment the right way round.

There is also a selection of optional accessories, with which you can improve on some of your favourite dishes, or simply to make working with your oven more convenient.

Wire rack

For ovenware, cake tins, roasts, grilling and frozen meals.

Slide the wire rack into the oven with the open side facing the oven door and the curvature pointing

downwards ¾.

Enamel baking tray

For cakes and biscuits.

Push the baking tray into the oven with the sloping edge facing towards the oven door.

Inserting accessories

You can insert the accessories into the cooking compartment at 5 different levels. Always insert them as far as they will go so that the accessories do not touch the door panel.

When sliding the accessories into the cooking compartment, ensure that the indentation is at the back. They can only lock in place from this position.

Note: The accessories may deform when they become hot. Once they cool down again, they regain their original shape. This does not affect their operation.

Hold the baking tray securely on the sides with both hands and push it parallel into the frame. Avoid movements to the right or left when pushing the baking tray in. Otherwise, it will be difficult to push the tray in and the enamelled surfaces could be damaged.

You can buy accessories from the after-sales service, from specialist retailers or online. Please specify the HEZ number.

The accessories can be pulled out approximately halfway until they lock in place. This allows dishes to be removed easily.

Optional accessories

You can buy optional accessories from your after-sales service or from specialist retailers. You will find a variety of suitable products for your oven in our brochures and on the Internet. The availability of optional accessories and the options for ordering them on the internet vary depending on the country. Information on purchasing accessories can be found in the sales documents.

Not every optional accessory is suitable for every appliance. When making a purchase, always quote the full name (E no.) of your appliance.

		used.

		bread rolls and pizzas which require a crispy base. The baking
		stone must always be preheated to the recommended temper-
		ature.
