Fan
The fan can be turned on and off as necessary. The hot air
escapes through the top of the door. Warning! Do not cover the
vent. The oven could overheat.
Your accessories
The accessories supplied with your appliance are suitable for
making many meals. Ensure that you always insert the
accessories into the cooking compartment the right way round.
There is also a selection of optional accessories, with which
you can improve on some of your favourite dishes, or simply to
make working with your oven more convenient.
inserting the accessories
The accessories can be placed inside the oven on 5 different
levels. Always insert them as far as possible so that the
accessories do not touch the door glass.
The accessories can be removed halfway until they are
secured. This makes it easy to remove food.
When inserting an accessory in the oven, make sure the
curvature is at the rear. This is the only way to ensure it fits
perfectly.
Depending on the equipment, if the appliance has guide rails,
these will interlock slightly when fully removed. This means the
accessory can be easily inserted. To unlock, reinsert the guide
rails in the oven exerting slight pressure.
Note: Accessories may deform as they heat up. This
deformation will disappear when they cool. This does not affect
the normal operation.
Your oven is supplied with only some of the following
accessories.
Accessories may be purchased from the Technical Assistance
Service, from specialist retailers or on the Internet. Enter the HZ
number.
Wire shelf

Before using the oven for the first time
In this section, you can find out what you must do before using
your oven to prepare food for the first time. First read the
section on Safety information.
Heating the oven
To remove the "new" smell, heat the oven empty with the door
closed. The most effective option is to heat the oven for one
hour with the top and bottom heating elements
240 ºC. Check that no packaging has been left inside the oven.
% set at
Setting the oven
There are various ways in which you can set your oven. Here
we will explain how you can select the desired type of heating
and temperature or grill setting.
Type of heating and temperature
Example in the picture: top and bottom heat % at 190 ºC.
1.Select the type of heating using the function control knob.
2.Select the temperature or grill power level with the
temperature control knob.
1.Select top and bottom heating % using the function control
knob.
2.Select 240 ºC with the temperature control knob.
Turn the oven off after one hour. To do this, turn the function
control knob to zero.
Cleaning the accessories
Before using the accessories for the first time, clean them
thoroughly using a cloth, hot water and a little soap.
Switching off the oven
Turn the function selector to the off position.
Changing the settings
The type of heating and temperature or grill setting can be
changed at any time using their respective selectors.
The oven will begin to heat up.
Care and cleaning
If cleaned and properly cared for, your oven will keep its bright
appearance and operating performance for many years to
come. Advice on how to care for and clean your oven is
provided below.
Notes
■ Different colours may be seen in your front panel due to the
various materials used in its manufacture, such as glass,
plastic and metal.
■ Dark patches in the door's glass panel may seem to be dirt
but they are in fact reflections from the oven light.
■ Enamel burns at very high temperatures. This may cause
slight discolouration. This is normal and does not affect the
oven's operation. The edges of thin baking trays may not be
completely enamelled. They may therefore feel slightly rough,
although their corrosive protection will be unaffected.
Cleaning products
Follow the indications provided in the table to avoid damaging
the various oven surfaces by using unsuitable cleaning
products. Do not use
■ abrasive or acidic cleaning products
■ strong products containing alcohol
■ scourers or hard sponges
■ high-pressure or steam cleaners
Wash new dishcloths thoroughly before use.

Energy and environment tips
Here you can find tips on how to save energy when baking and
roasting and how to dispose of your appliance properly.
Saving energy
■ Preheat the oven only if this is required by a recipe or is
indicated in the tables.
■ Use dark, lacquered or black enamel baking tins. These are
more efficient at absorbing heat.
■ Keep the oven door closed during cooking, baking and
roasting cycles.
■ When baking several cakes, these should be preferably
baked one after the other. The oven will still be hot, thereby
reducing the cooking time for the second cake. Two
rectangular baking tins can be placed side-by-side.
■ For long cooking times, the oven may be turned off
10 minutes prior to the specified time, allowing the item to
continue to cook but taking advantage of the oven's residual
heat.
Environmentally-friendly disposal of waste
Dispose of packaging with the environment in mind.
Tested for you in our cooking studio
Here you will find a selection of dishes and the ideal settings for
them. We will show you which type of heating and which
temperature are best suited for your dish. You can find
information about suitable accessories and the height at which
they should be inserted. There are also tips about cookware
and preparation methods.
Notes
■ The values in the table always apply to dishes placed into the
cooking compartment when it is cold and empty.
Only preheat the appliance if the table specifies that you
should do so. Do not line the accessories with greaseproof
paper until after they have been preheated.
■ The times specified in the tables are guidelines only. They will
depend on the quality and composition of the food.
■ Use the accessories supplied. Additional accessories may be
obtained as special accessories from specialist retailers or
from the after-sales service.
Before using the oven, remove any unnecessary accessories
and ovenware from the cooking compartment.
■ Always use oven gloves when taking hot accessories or
ovenware out of the cooking compartment.
Cakes and pastries
Baking tins
It is best to use dark-coloured metal baking tins.
Baking times are increased when light-coloured baking tins
made of thin metal or glass dishes are used, and cakes do not
brown so evenly.
If you wish to use silicone baking tins, use the information and
recipes provided by the manufacturer as a guide. Silicone
baking tins are often smaller than normal tins. The amount of
mixture and recipe instructions may differ.
Table s
The tables show the ideal type of heating for the various cakes
and pastries. The temperature and baking time depend on the
amount and composition of the mixture. This is why
temperature ranges are given in the tables. You should try the
lower temperature first, since a lower temperature results in
more even browning. You can increase the temperature next
time if necessary.
If you preheat the oven, the baking time is shortened by 5 to 10
minutes.
Additional information can be found in the Baking tips section
following the tables.

ovenware with approx. 1 - 2 cm of liquid.
The amount of liquid depends on the type of meat and the
material the ovenware is made of. If preparing meat in an
enamelled roasting dish, it will need a little more liquid than if
cooked in glass ovenware.
Roasting dishes made from stainless steel are not ideal. The
meat cooks more slowly and browns less fully. Use a higher
temperature and/or a longer cooking time.
Grilling
Always use the grill with the oven closed.
For grilling, preheat the oven for about 3 minutes before the
food is placed inside the oven.
Place the pieces directly on the wire shelf. If only one piece is
prepared, it is best if placed in the centre of the wire shelf.
Place the enamel tray at level 1. The tray will help keep the
oven clean by catching any meat juices.
Do not place the baking tray or universal tray at level 4 or 5.
Due to the extreme heat, it could be deformed and cause
damage to the oven interior when it is removed.
In so far as it is possible, use pieces of the same thickness.
This will help them brown evenly and remain juicy. Salt the
fillets after grilling.
Turn the pieces after
The grill resistance switches on and off automatically. This is
normal. The frequency depends on the chosen power level.
Meat
Turn pieces of meat halfway through the cooking time.
When the roast is ready, turn off the oven and allow it to rest for
an additional 10 minutes. This allows better distribution of the
meat juices.
After cooking, wrap sirloin in aluminium foil and leave it to rest
for 10 minutes in the oven.
For roast pork with a rind, score the rind in a crossways pattern,
then lay the roast in the dish with the rind at the bottom.

Jam making
For cooking, the jars and the elastic bands must be clean and
in perfect condition. Whenever possible, use jars of equal sizes.
The values in the tables are given for round 1-Litre jars.
Caution!
Do not use larger or taller jars. Their lids could explode.
Only use fruit and vegetables that are in good condition. Clean
them well.
The times given in tables are only given as an indication. These
can vary according to the outside temperature, number of jars,
quantity and temperature of the jar content. Before turning off
the appliance, ensure the jars have begun to bubble.
Preparation
1.Tip the fruit or vegetable into the jars but do not fill them to
the brim.
2.Clean the edges of the jars; these must be clean.
3.Place a cover and wet elastic band on each jar.
4.Close the jars with clamps.
Do not place more than six jars in the oven at the same time.
Setting
1.Place the enamel tray at level 2. Place the jars on the tray so
that they do not touch each other.
2.Pour half a litre of hot water (approx. 80 ºC) on the flat oven
tray.
3.Close the oven door.
4.Position the control knob to bottom heat position $.
5.Set the temperature between 170 and 180 ºC.
Jam making
After approximately 40 - 50 minutes, bubbles begin to form
rapidly. Switch the oven off
Take the jars out of the oven after approximately 25 35 minutes (the residual heat is used in this time). If these are
allowed to cool in the oven for more time, this could promote
the formation of germs making the jam acidic.
Cooking vegetables
When small bubbles begin to form in the jars, adjust the
temperature to approximately 120 - 140 °C. About 35 70 minutes, depending on the type of vegetables. After this
time, turn off the oven to use the residual heat.
