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 during use
•This appliance is not intended for use by children or other persons whose physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge prevents them
from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction by a responsible
person to ensure that they can use the appliance safely.
•This appliance should be used only for normal domestic cooking, roasting and baking
of food.
•Be careful if connecting electrical appliances to sockets near to this appliance. Electri-
cal leads must not be caught under the hot oven door.
•Warning: Risk of burns! The oven interior becomes hot during use.
•If you use ingredients containing alcohol in the oven, a slightly flammable mixture of
alcohol and air may ensue. In this case, be careful when opening the door. Do not
handle any sources of heat, sparks or naked flames when doing so.
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 place aluminium foil over the floor of the oven and do not place baking trays,
pans etc. on the floor as the resulting build-up of heat can damage the oven enamel.
•Fruit juices which drip from baking trays leave stains which cannot be removed. Use a
deep tray for very moist cakes.
•Do not place loads on the open oven carriage door.
•Never pour water directly into the oven when it is hot. This could cause damage and
discoloration to 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 cause damage to the 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.

17Uses, Tables and Tips
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:
e.g. oven level 1 and 3

Uses, Tables and Tips18
3 baking trays:
Oven levels 1, 3 and 5
General instructions
•Only use the baking tray and drip pan with the rack frame for the oven carriage.
•With Conventional or True fan you can also bake in two cake 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.
Notes on the baking charts
The following charts give the required temperature settings, cooking times and oven lev-
els for a selection of dishes.
•Temperatures and baking times are for guidance only, as these will depend on the
consistency of the mixture, the quantity and the type of baking tin.
•For the first time, we recommend you apply the lower temperature setting and only
choose a higher temperature if necessary, e.g. if you want a browner effect or if cook-
ing time is taking too long.
•If you cannot find the settings for a particular recipe of your own, look for the one
that is most similar.
•When baking cakes on baking trays or in tins on more than one level, baking time can
be extended by 10-15 minutes.
•Moist products (pizzas, fruit flans, etc.) are baked on one level.
•Differences in the height of the items can cause differences in the degree of browning
at the beginning of the baking process. You should not change the temperature
setting if this occurs. Different rates of browning even out as baking progresses.
•Your new oven may bake or roast differently to your previous appliance. If this is the
case, adjust your normal settings (temperature, cooking times) and oven levels to the
recommendations in the following charts.
2With longer baking times, you can switch the oven off about 10 minutes before the end
of the baking time, in order to utilise the residual heat.
Unless otherwise stated, the values given in the tables assume that cooking is started
with the oven cold.
