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.

Uses, Tables and Tips16
Uses, Tables and Tips
Baking
Oven function: True fan or Conventional
Baking tins
•For Conventional dark metal and non-stick tins are suitable.
•For True fan bright metal tins are also suitable.
Oven levels
•Baking with Conventional is possible on one oven level.
•With True fan you can bake on up to 3 baking trays at the same time:
1 baking tray:
e.g. oven level 3
1 cake tin:
e.g. oven level 1
2 baking trays:
z. g., oven levels 1 and 3
3 baking trays:
oven levels 1, 3 and 5
General instructions
•Insert the tray with the bevel at the front.
•With Conventional or True fan you can also bake with two tins next to one an-
other on the oven shelf at the same time. This does not significantly increase baking
time.

17Uses, Tables and Tips
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.
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 pastry, dough or mixture, the amount 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.
•If baking cakes on baking trays or in tins on more than one level, baking time may be
extended by 10-15 minutes.
•Moist recipes (for example, pizzas, fruit flans, etc.) are baked on one level.
•Cakes and pastries at different heights may brown at an uneven rate at first. If this oc-
curs, please do not change the temperature setting. Different rates of browning
even out as baking progresses.
•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.
