1 Safety precautions

Caution: Risk of burns!

The appliance gets very hot when in
use. The appliance door also gets hot.
Steam and/or hot air may escape from
the cooking space when the appliance door is opened.
The appliance will remain hot for some
time after it is switched off and will only cool down slowly to room temperature. Allow sufficient time for the appliance to cool down before, for instance, cleaning it.
Overheated fat and oil can easily catch
fire. Heating oil in the cooking space to sear meat is dangerous and should not be done. Never attempt to extinguish burning oil or fat with water. Danger of explosion! Smother the flames with a fire blanket. Keep doors and windows closed.
Do not pour spirits (brandy, whisky,
schnapps, etc.) over hot food. Danger of explosion!
Do not leave the appliance unattended
when drying herbs, bread, mushrooms, etc. If the foodstuff dries out too much, it can pose a fire hazard.
If you notice smoke possibly coming
from the appliance itself or from inside the cooking space, keep the appliance door closed. Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
Accessories get hot in the cooking
space. Use protective gloves or oven cloths.

Caution: Risk of injury!

Be careful not to put fingers in the door
hinges, there is otherwise a risk of in­jury if the appliance door is moved. Par­ticular care should be taken when chil­dren are around.
Only leave the appliance door open in
the at-rest position. An open appliance door poses a danger of tripping or in­jury! Do not sit or rest on the appliance door or use it as a storage surface.
For hobs: A hob guard can be fitted to
protect small children. Hob guards are available from specialist retailers.
Caution: Risk to life!
Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging
material, e.g. plastic film and poly­styrene, away from children. Packaging material can be dangerous for children.

How to avoid damaging the appliance

Close the appliance door carefully.For appliances with visible bottom heat-
ing element: Do not place any objects directly on the bottom heating element.
Do not use protective aluminium inserts
with appliances with no visible bottom heating element.
Do not use objects that can rust in the
cooking space.
Using knives or cutting wheels on the
baking tray will visibly damage the sur­face.
To prevent corrosion, leave the appli-
ance door open in the at-rest position until the cooking space has cooled down.
When cleaning the appliance, make
sure no water gets inside it. Use a mod­erately damp cloth. Do not spray the outside or the inside of the appliance with water. If water gets inside the appli­ance, it will cause damage.

5.5 Setting a delayed start / end time

The delayed start is activated when for the operating mode selected both the duration and the end time are set. The appliance switches automatically on and off again at the desired times. If you use the food probe, you will need to estimate and set the duration. You will find a guide on times in «EasyCook». The appliance switches on with a delay and switches off again when the set target temperature is reached. Depending on the estimated duration, this can occur earlier or later than the set end time.
Perishables should not be kept unrefrigerated.
Before setting the delayed start
▸ Place the food in the cooking space. ▸ Select the desired operating mode. ▸ Set the temperature. ▸ Set the duration.
Setting a delayed start

17
5 Using the appliance

5.6 Food probe temperature

Only use the supplied food probe. Do not clean the food probe in the dishwasher. Always keep the plug clean.
The food probe is used to measure the temperature inside the food (referred to as the food probe temperature). As soon as the food reaches the target temperature (the food probe temperature that should be attained at the end of the cooking process), operation stops automatically. It is also possible to simply measure the food probe temperature without stopping operation.
The food probe must be inserted as far into the middle of the meat as possible to get a correct reading of the food probe temperature. The optimal target temperature is dependent on the cut of meat and on the degree of doneness. Refer to the information on target temperatures in «EasyCook».
Setting
▸ Select the desired operating mode and set the temperature. ▸ Select in the operating mode settings. ▸ Set the desired target temperature and confirm. ▸ To start operation, select .
Operation can only be started when the food probe is plugged in.
▸ Check and change the settings (see page 16).
– The current food probe temperature is shown in the top part of the display when
cooking.
The set target temperature is displayed above .
Operation ends automatically once the target temperature has been reached – see
also End of operation (see page 20).
If the meat is left in the cooking space after having switched off the appliance, the food probe temperature will continue to rise due to the residual heat.
Measuring the food probe temperature
If you only wish to measure the food probe temperature without operation stopping auto­matically when the target temperature is reached, proceed as follows: ▸ Select the desired operating mode and set the temperature and, if you wish, the dura-
tion. ▸ Plug in the food probe. ▸ Start the operating mode.
– The current food probe temperature is shown in the top part of the display when
cooking.

5.7 Cancelling/ending the operating mode before time

▸ In the operating mode settings, select or press the touch button.
An acoustic signal is emitted.
The selected operating mode is cancelled.
