2 Preventing material damage
2.1 General
ATTENTION!
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 place any accessories, greaseproof paper or
foil of any kind on the cooking compartment floor.
▶
Only place cookware on the cooking compartment
floor if a temperature above 50°C has been set.
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.
4
▶
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.
Using oven cleaner in a hot cooking compartment
damages the enamel.
Environmental protection and saving energy en
▶
Never use oven cleaner in the cooking compartment
when it is still warm.
▶
Remove all food remnants from the cooking compartment and the appliance door before you next
heat up the appliance.
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 appliance door.
With certain models, accessories may scratch the door
pane when closing the appliance door.
▶
Always push accessories fully into the cooking compartment.
2.2 Steam
Follow these instructions when using the steam function.
ATTENTION!
Silicone bakeware is not suitable for combined operation with steam.
▶
Cookware must be heat- and steam-resistant.
Using cookware with rust spots may cause corrosion in
the cooking compartment. Even the smallest spots of
rust can cause corrosion.
▶
Do not use cookware with rust spots.
Hot water in the water tank may damage the steam
system.
▶
Only fill the water tank with cold water.
If there is water on the cooking compartment floor
when operating the appliance, this will damage the
enamel.
▶
Do not use the appliance if there is water on the
cooking compartment floor.
▶
Wipe away any water on the cooking compartment
floor before operation.
If descaling solution comes into contact with the control
panel or other delicate surfaces, it will damage them.
▶
Remove descaling solution immediately with water.
Cleaning the water tank in the dishwasher will damage
it.
▶
Do not clean the water tank in the dishwasher.
▶
Clean the water tank with a soft cloth and standard
washing-up liquid.
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.

4.4 Temperature and setting levels
There are different settings for the types of heating and
functions.
The settings appear in the display.
The temperature can be set in 1 degree increments up
to 100°C, and in 5 degree increments thereafter.
Note:For grill setting3, the appliance lowers the setting to grill setting1 after approx. 20minutes.
Heat-up indicator
The appliance indicates when it is heating up.
The line at the bottom of the display turns red from left
to right as the cooking compartment heats up.
When you are preheating the appliance, the optimal
time to place your food in the cooking compartment is
as soon as the entire line has turned red.
Residual heat indicator
If you switch off the appliance, the line on the display
shows the residual heat in the cooking compartment.
The lower the temperature in the cooking compartment,
the less the line is filled.
Notes
¡ The heat-up indicator will only show the temperature
increasing for types of heating for which a temperature is set. For grill settings, for example, the heat-up
indicator shows a full line from the beginning.
¡ If the temperature in the cooking compartment is
too high when the appliance is started, appears in
the display for some types of heating. Switch off the
appliance and allow it to cool down. Then restart operation of the appliance.
¡ 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", Page9
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", Page24

Accessories en
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 ", Page22
Lighting
The oven light lights up the cooking compartment.
With most types of heating and functions, the lighting
lights up during operation. The lighting goes off when
operation ends.
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.
You can switch on the lighting without heating the oven
using the Oven light button.
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.
The accessories supplied may differ depending on the
appliance model.
