Environmental protection

en

■Open the appliance door as infrequently as possible when the appliance is in use.

■It is best to bake several cakes one after the other. The cooking compartment stays warm. This reduces the baking time for the second cake. You can place two cake tins next to each other in the cooking compartment.

■For longer cooking times, you can switch the appliance off 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time and use the residual heat to finish cooking.

Environmentally-friendly disposal

Other functions

Your new oven has yet more functions; see below for a brief description of these.

Function		Use
ó	Main oven
F	Rapid heating	Preheats the cooking compartment rapidly without accessories inside it.

Temperature

Use the temperature selector to set the temperature in the cooking compartment. You can also use it to select the settings for other functions.

When cooking at very high temperatures, the appliance lowers the temperature slightly after an extended period.

Position		Meaning
Ú	"Off" position	The appliance is not heating.

		Setting 1	= low
		Setting 2	= medium
		Setting 3	= high

Temperature indicator

The heating-up indicator remains lit while the appliance is heating.

When you are preheating the appliance, the optimal time to place your food in the cooking compartment is when the heating-up indicator first goes out.

Note: Due to thermal inertia, the actual temperature inside the cooking compartment may differ slightly from the temperature that is displayed.

Cooking compartment

Various functions in the cooking compartment make your appliance easier to use. For example, the cooking compartment is well lit and a cooling fan prevents the appliance from overheating.

Opening the appliance door

If you open the appliance door when the appliance is in operation, the appliance will continue to operate as before.

Interior lighting

With most heating functions and other functions, the interior lighting in the cooking compartment will remain lit while the oven is in operation. When the function selector is turned to bring operation to an end, the lighting will go out.

By turning the function selector to the interior lighting setting, you can switch on the lighting without heating the oven. This makes it easier to clean your appliance, for example.

Cooling fan

The cooling fan switches on and off as required. The hot air escapes above the door.

Caution!

Do not cover the ventilation slots. Otherwise, the appliance may overheat.

So that the cooking compartment cools down more quickly after operation, the cooling fan continues to run for a certain period afterwards.
