]Causes of damage
Cau s e s of damage
General information
Caution!
■ Accessories, foil, greaseproof paper or ovenware on
the cooking compartment floor: do not place
accessories on the cooking compartment floor. Do
not cover the cooking compartment floor with any
sort of foil or greaseproof paper. Do not place
ovenware on the cooking compartment floor if a
temperature of over 50 ºC has been set. This will
cause heat to accumulate. The baking and roasting
times will no longer be correct and the enamel will
be damaged.
■ Aluminium foil: Aluminium foil in the cooking
compartment must not come into contact with the
door glass. This could cause permanent
discolouration of the door glass.
■ Water in a hot cooking compartment: do not pour
water into the cooking compartment when it is hot.
This will cause steam. The temperature change can
cause damage to the enamel.
■ Moisture in the cooking compartment: Over an
extended period of time, moisture in the cooking
compartment may lead to corrosion. Allow the
cooking compartment to dry after use. Do not keep
moist food in the closed cooking compartment for
extended periods of time. Do not store food in the
cooking compartment.
■ Cooling with the appliance door open: Following
operation at high temperatures, only allow the
cooking compartment to cool down with the door
closed. Do not trap anything in the appliance door.
Even if the door is only left open a crack, the front of
nearby furniture may become damaged over time.
Only leave the cooking compartment to dry with the
door open if a lot of moisture was produced whilst
the oven was operating.
■ Fruit juice: when baking particularly juicy fruit pies,
do not pack the baking tray too generously. Fruit
juice dripping from the baking tray leaves stains that
cannot be removed. If possible, use the deeper
universal pan.
■ Extremely dirty seal: If the seal is very dirty, the
appliance door will no longer close properly during
operation. The fronts of adjacent units could be
damaged. Always keep the seal clean.
~ "Cleaning" on page 13
■ Appliance door as a seat, shelf or worktop: Do not
sit on the appliance door, or place or hang anything
on it. Do not place any cookware or accessories on
the appliance door.
■ Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance
model, accessories can scratch the door panel
when closing the appliance door. Always insert the
accessories into the cooking compartment as far as
they will go.
■ Carrying the appliance: do not carry or hold the
appliance by the door handle. The door handle
cannot support the weight of the appliance and
could break.

7Environmental protection
Envi r onment al prot ect i on
Your new appliance is particularly energy-efficient.
Here you can find tips on how to save even more
energy when using the appliance, and how to dispose
of your appliance properly.
Saving energy
■ Only preheat the appliance if this is specified in the
recipe or in the tables in the operating instructions.
■ Leave frozen food to defrost before placing it in the
cooking compartment.
■ 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.
■ Use baking tins that are dark-coloured, painted black
or have an enamel coating. These absorb the heat
particularly well.
■ Remove any unnecessary accessories from 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
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly
manner.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with
European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning
used electrical and electronic appliances

Note: Due to thermal inertia, the temperature displayed
may be slightly different to the actual temperature inside
the oven.
Cooking compartment functions
Some functions make your appliance easier to use.
This, for example, enables the cooking compartment to
be well lit and a cooling fan to prevent the appliance
from overheating.

In most operating modes, the interior lighting will switch
on as soon as the program is started. Once the
program has finished, the lighting switches off.
To switch on the interior lighting when the appliance is
not in operation, turn the function selector to any
function except 8. Make sure that the temperature
selector is set to the "Off" position.
Cooling fan
The cooling fan switches on and off as required. The

Notes
■ Slight differences in colour on the front of the
appliance are caused by the use of different
materials, such as glass, plastic and metal.
■ Shadows on the door panels, which look like
streaks, are caused by reflections made by the
interior lighting.
■ Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures.This
can cause some slight colour variation. This is
normal and does not affect operation.
The edges of thin trays cannot be completely
enamelled. As a result, these edges can be rough.
This does not impair the anti-corrosion protection.
Surfaces in the cooking compartment
The back wall and side parts in the cooking
compartment are self-cleaning. You can tell this from
the rough surface.
The cooking compartment floor and ceiling are
enamelled and have smooth surfaces.
Cleaning enamel surfaces
Clean the smooth enamel surfaces with a dish cloth
and hot soapy water or a vinegar solution. Then dry
them with a soft cloth.
Soften baked-on food remnants with a damp cloth and
soapy water. Use stainless steel wire wool or oven
cleaner to remove stubborn dirt.
Caution!
Never use oven cleaner in the cooking compartment
when it is still warm. This may damage the enamel.
Remove all food remnants from the cooking
compartment and the appliance door before you next
heat up the appliance.
Leave the cooking compartment open to dry after
cleaning it.
Note: Food residues can cause white deposits to form.
These are harmless and do not affect how the
appliance works. You can remove these residues using
lemon juice if required.
Self-cleaning surfaces
The self-cleaning surfaces are coated with a porous,
matte ceramic layer. This coating absorbs and dispels
splashes from baking and roasting while the appliance
is in operation.
Caution!
Do not use oven cleaner on the self-cleaning surfaces.
This will damage the surfaces.If oven cleaner does get
onto these surfaces, dab it off immediately using water
and a sponge cloth. Do not rub the surfaces or use
abrasive cleaning aids.

:Warning – Risk of fire!
Loose food remnants, fat and meat juices may catch
fire. Before using the appliance, remove the worst of the
food remnants from the cooking compartment, heating
elements and accessories.
Tips
■ Clean the cooking compartment after each use. This
will ensure that dirt cannot be baked on.
■ Always remove flecks of limescale, grease, starch
and albumin (e.g. egg white) immediately.
■ Use the universal pan for baking very moist cakes.
■ Use suitable ovenware for roasting, e.g. a roasting
dish.

Here, you can find a selection of dishes and the ideal
settings for them. We will show you which type of
heating and temperature are best suited to your dish.
You will get information on suitable cooking
accessories and the height at which they should be
placed in the oven. You will also get tips about
cookware and preparation methods.
Note: . A lot of steam can build up in the cooking
compartment when cooking food.
Your appliance is very energy-efficient and radiates very
little heat to its surroundings during operation. Due to
the high difference in temperature between the
appliance interior and the external parts of the
appliance, condensation may build up on the door,
control panel or adjacent kitchen cabinet panels. This is
a normal physical phenomenon. Condensation can be
reduced by preheating the oven or opening the door
carefully.

You want to find out whether the cake
is completely cooked in the middle.
Push a cocktail stick into the highest point on the cake. If the cocktail stick comes out clean with no dough residue, the cake is ready.
The cake collapses. Next time, use less liquid. Alternatively, set the temperature to be 10 °C lower and extend the baking time.

The fruit juice overflows. Next time, use the universal pan.
Small baked items stick to one
another during baking.
There should be a gap of approx. 2 cm around each item. This gives enough space for the baked items to

tray.
The cake looks good, but is not
cooked properly in the middle.
The cake cannot be turned out of the
dish when it is turned upside down.
Use a lower temperature and bake slightly longer; if necessary, add slightly less liquid. For cakes with a moist
topping, bake the base first. Sprinkle it with almonds or breadcrumbs and then place the topping on top.
Allow the cake to cool down for 5 to 10 minutes after baking. If it still sticks, carefully loosen the cake around
the edges again using a knife. Turn the cake tin upside down again and cover it several times with a cold, wet
cloth. Next time, grease the baking tin/dish and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.

Acrylamide in foodstuffs
Acrylamide is mainly produced in grain and potato
products prepared at high temperatures, such as potato
crisps, chips, sliced bread, bread rolls, bread or fine
baked goods (biscuits, gingerbread, spiced biscuit).
Tips for keeping acrylamide to a minimum
General ■ Keep cooking times as short as possible.
■ Cook food until it is golden brown, but not too dark.
■ Large, thick pieces of food contain less acrylamide.
Baking With top/bottom heating at max. 200 °C.
With hot air at max. 180 °C.
Biscuits With top/bottom heating at max. 190 °C.
With hot air at max. 170 °C.
Egg or egg yolk reduces the production of acrylamide.
Oven chips Spread out a single layer evenly on the baking tray. Cook at least 400 g at once on a baking tray so that
the chips do not dry out.
