Operating Instructions
1 Safety instructions
Electrical safety
• This appliance must be only connected by a registered electrician.
• In the event of a fault or damage to the appliance: Take the fuses out or switch off.
• Repairs to the appliance must only be carried out by qualified service engineers.
Considerable danger may result from improper repairs. If repairs become necessary,
please contact our Customer Services or your dealer.
Child Safety
• Never leave children unsupervised when the appliance is in use.
Safety whilst using
• People (including children) who, because of their physical, sensory or mental capabilities or their inexperience or ignorance are not able to use the device safely, should not
use this device without supervision or instruction by a responsible person.
• This appliance is intended to be used for cooking, roasting and baking food in the
home.
• Take care when connecting electric appliances to sockets nearby. Do not allow con-
necting leads to come into contact with or to catch beneath the hot oven door.
• Warning: Risk of burns! The interior of the oven becomes hot during use.
• Using ingredients containing alcohol in the oven may create an alcohol-air mixture
that is easily ignited. In this case, open the door carefully. Do not have embers, sparks
or naked flames in the vicinity when opening the door.
3 Information on acrylamides
According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of food, especially in
products containing starch, can constitute a health risk due to acrylamides. Therefore we
recommend cooking at the lowest possible temperatures and not browning foods too
much.
How to avoid damage to the appliance
• Do not line the oven with aluminium foil and do not place baking trays, pots, etc. on
the oven floor, as the heat that builds up will damage the oven enamel.
• Fruit juices dripping from the baking tray will leave stains, which you will not be able
to remove. For very moist cakes, use a deep tray.
• Do not put any strain on the oven door when open.
• Never pour water directly into the oven when it is hot. This could cause damage to or
discolouration of the enamel.
• Rough handling, especially around the edges of the front panel, can cause the glass to
break.
• Do not store any flammable materials inside the oven. These could ignite when the
oven is switched on.
Description of the Appliance4
• Do not store any moist foods inside the oven. This could damage the oven enamel.
• After switching off the cooling fan, do not keep uncovered dishes in the oven. Mois-
ture may condense in the oven interior or on the glass doors and may get into the
units.
3 Note on enamel coating
Changes in the colour of the oven’s enamel coating as a result of use do not affect the
appliance’s suitability for normal and correct use. They therefore do not constitute a defect in the sense of the warranty law.

13Using the Oven
Inserting the oven shelf:
Insert the oven shelf so that the feet point
downwards.
Insert the oven shelf on the telescopic runners
of the selected oven level.
3 The high rim around the oven shelf is an addi-
tional device to prevent cookware from slipping.
Inserting the oven shelf and roasting pan
together:
Lay the oven shelf on the roasting pan.
Insert the oven shelf and the roasting pan on
the telescopic runners of the selected oven level so that the two holes of the roasting pan engage on the front retaining pins on the
telescopic runners.
3 To make it easier to insert the insertable component when runners are extended to dif-
ferent extents, lay the insertable component onto the runners at the back, push it in as
far as the stop and then lower it onto the retaining pins at the front.
Synchronised oven shelf runners
3 To make it easier to pull out the oven shelf runners, the individual telescopic bars can be
connected using a clamp.
Fitting the synchronised oven shelf runners
1 When fitting the retaining clips, ensure that the
support brackets for the connecting clamp
point towards the rear!
To fit the left-hand and right-hand retaining
clips, affix to the appropriate telescopic bars to
ensure that the upper groove fits securely into
the rear retaining pins.
Push in retaining clips firmly until they engage.
Using the Oven14
Insert the connecting clamp into the rear support brackets of the retaining clips on the leftand right-hand telescopic bars (1.).
Press the connecting clamp into the locks of
the two retaining clips by turning upwards simultaneously(2.).
The telescopic bars can now be pulled out simultaneously.
Removing the synchronised oven shelf runners
To remove, follow the above steps in reverse.
Inserting/Removing the Fat Filter
Only use the fat filter when roasting to protect the rear heating elements from fat splashes.
Inserting the fat filter
Hold the fat filter by the grip and insert
the two mounts downwards into the
opening on the rear wall of the oven
(fan opening).
Taking out the fat filter
Hold the fat filter by the grip and unhook it.
15Using the Oven
Meatprobe
For switching off the oven when the temperature at the centre of a roast reaches a set
temperature.
There are two temperatures to consider:
– The oven temperature: see Roasting Table
– The core temperature: see Meatprobe Table
1 Important!: Only the meat probe supplied may be used. If replacing, please use only
genuine spare parts.
1. Switch on the appliance using the On/Off button.
2. Push the tip of the meat probe right into the
meat so that the tip is in the centre of the
meat.
3. Insert the meat probe plug into the socket on
the side wall of the oven as far as it will go.
4. Using the or button set the desired core
temperature.
The display changes to the current core temperature.
If the current core temperature has already
been displayed, before the desired core temperature is set, then press the Selection button
repeatedly, until the function Meatprobe
flashes and then carry out the setting.
3 The core temperature is displayed from 30°C.
5. Select oven function and oven temperature.
Using the Oven16
As soon as the core temperature set is reached,
a signal sounds and the oven switches itself off
automatically.
6. Press any key to switch off the signal.
3 A provisional end time will be calculated depending on the quantity of food and the se-
lected oven temperature (at least 120°C) and operating mode. This procedure can
amount to approx. 30 minutes and is updated in the display during the cooking process.
For the system to work it is essential that the meat probe is in the meat and in the socket at the start of the cooking process and that it is not removed during the cooking
process.
The time display and core temperature displays a “flashing rectangle” during the calculation phase.
