Reasons for
damage
Baking tray, aluminium foil Do not place the baking tray on the oven floor.
or dishes on the oven floor Do not cover it with aluminium foil.
Do not place dishes on the oven floor.
This will cause heat accumulation. The baking and
roasting times will no longer be correct and the
enamel will be damaged.
Baking paper If using circotherm, do not place greaseproof paper
loosely in the oven (e.g. when heating the oven).
The hot-air fan could draw in the paper which may
damage the heater and fan.
Water in the oven Never pour water directly into a hot oven.
This could damage the enamel.
Fruit juice When baking very moist fruit cakes, do not put too
much on the baking sheet. Fruit juice dripping from
the baking sheet leaves stains that cannot be
removed.
It is recommended that you use the deeper universal
pan.
Cooling with the oven door Only leave the oven to cool with the door closed. Do
not allow anything to become trapped in the oven
door. Even if you only leave the oven door open
slightly, the fronts of adjacent units may become
damaged over time.
Very dirty oven seal If the oven seal is very dirty, the oven door will no
longer close properly when the oven is in use.
The fronts of adjacent units could be damaged.
Keep the oven seal clean.

Description of Oven Features
Main oven
Circotherm A fan system located in the rear oven wall circulates
the circotherm in the oven, achieving an especially
effective heat transfer to the food being baked or
roasted.
Advantages:
– Simultaneous baking and roasting possible on up
to 3 levels
– low soiling of oven inferior
– shorter preheating times
– low oven temperatures
– gentle defrosting
Surface grilling The food being prepared is exposed to heat radiation
from the heating element at the top of the oven
cavity.
– Particularly effective with flat, small cuts of meat,
i.e., steaks, sausages, fish, vegetables and toast.
Large area grill Advantages:
– the entire grilling surface heats up
– especially useful with large amounts of food
Small area grill Advantages:
– only the centre area of the grilling surface heats
up
– especially useful with small amounts of food
– energy-saving operation
Circo-roasting With circo-roasting, the air circulating fan and the
grilling radiators are activated in alternation.
The heat generated by the grilling radiator is evenly
distributed in the oven cavity.
Advantage:
– Particularly effective with poultry and larger cuts
of meal.
