Operating Instructions
1Safety 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 capabili-
ties 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.
3Information 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.
3Note 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 de-
fect in the sense of the warranty law.

As a shelf runner safety device, all insertable components have a small curved indenta-
tion at the bottom on the right and left-hand edge.
Always insert insertable components so that this indentation is at the back of the oven
interior. This indentation is also important for preventing the insertable components
from tipping.

the selected oven level.
Inserting the oven shelf:
Insert the oven shelf so that the feet point
downwards.

Uses, Tables and Tips
Baking
Oven function: Conventional
Baking tins
For Conventional dark metal and non-stick tins are suitable.
Oven levels
Baking with Conventional is only possible on one level.
1 baking tray:
e.g. oven level 3
1 cake tin:
e.g. oven level 1
General Instructions
•Insert the tray with the bevel at the front.
•With Conventional you can also bake with two tins next to one another on the
oven shelf at the same time. This does not significantly increase the baking time.
3When frozen foods are used the trays inserted may distort during cooking. This is due to
the large difference in temperature between the freezing temperature and the tempera-
ture in the oven. Once the trays have cooled the distortion will disappear again.

Uses, Tables and Tips16
How to use the Baking Tables
The tables give the required temperature settings, baking times and oven shelf levels for
a selection of typical dishes.
•Temperatures and baking times are for guidance only, as these will depend on the
consistency of the pastry, mixture or dough and the number and the type of baking
tin.
•We recommend using the lower temperature the first time and then if necessary, for
example, if a deeper browning is required, or baking time is too long, selecting a high-
er temperature.
•If you cannot find the settings for a particular recipe, look for the one that is most
similar.
•Your new oven may bake or roast differently to your previous appliance. So adapt
your normal settings (temperature, cooking times) and oven shelf levels to the recom-
mendations in the following tables.
2With longer baking times, the oven can be switched off about 10 minutes before the end
of baking time, to make use of the residual heat.
Unless otherwise stated, the values given in the tables assume that cooking is started
with the oven cold.

Tips on baking
Roasting
Oven function: Conventional
Ovenware for roasting
•Any heat-resistant ovenware is suitable to use for roasting. (Please read the manufac-
turer's instructions.)
•For all lean meats, we recommend roasting these in a roasting tin or dish with a
lid. The meat will be more succulent.
•All types of meat, that can be browned or have crackling, can be roasted in a roasting
tin or dish without a lid.
3Tips on using the Roasting Table
The information given in the following table is for guidance only.
•We recommend cooking meat and fish weighing 1kg or more in the oven.
•To prevent meat juices or fat from burning onto the ovenware, we recommend adding
some liquid.
•If required, turn the roast (after 1/2 - 2/3 of the cooking time).
•Baste large roasts and poultry with their juices several times during roasting. This will
give better roasting results.
•You can switch the oven off about 10 minutes before the end of the roasting time, in
order to utilise the residual heat.
Baking results Possible cause Remedy
The cake is not browned
enough at the bottom
Wrong oven level Place cake lower in the oven
The cake sinks (becomes
soggy, lumpy, streaky)
Oven temperature too high Use a slightly lower setting
Baking time too short Set a longer baking time
Baking times cannot be re-
duced by setting higher tem-
peratures
Too much liquid in the mixture Use less liquid
Pay attention to mixing times,
especially if using mixing ma-
chines
Cake is too dry Oven temperature too low Set oven temperature higher
Baking time too long Set a shorter baking time
Cake browns unevenly Oven temperature too high and
baking time too short
Set a lower oven temperature
and a longer baking time
Mixture is unevenly distributed Spread the mixture evenly on
the baking tray
Cake is not done within
the baking time given
Temperature too low Use a slightly higher oven set-

Grill sizes
Oven function: Single grill or Dual grill with maximum temperature setting
1Important: Always grill with the oven door closed.
3The empty oven should always be pre-heated with the grill functions for 5 min-
utes.
•For grilling, place the shelf in the recommended shelf position.
•Always insert the tray into the first shelf position from the bottom.
•The grilling times are guidelines.
•Grilling is particularly suitable for flat pieces of meat or fish.
Grilling table
Making preserves
Oven function: Base heat
•For preserving, use only commercially available preserve jars of the same size.
•Jars with twist-off or bayonet type lids and metal tins are not suitable.
•When making preserves, the first shelf position from the bottom is the one most
used.
•Use the shelf for making preserves. There is enough room on this for up to six 1-litre
preserving jars.
•The jars should all be filled to the same level and clamped shut.
