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.
•The appliance is fitted with a child safety device.
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.

Safety instructions4
•Do not store any flammable materials inside the oven. These could ignite when the
oven is switched on.
•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.

3If you select a higher heat setting during the warming up time, e. g. turning from “3” up
to “6”, the time that has already elapsed for the warming up period is taken into consid-
eration. If you select a lower heat setting, the warm up period will end immediately.
3You can end the automatic warm up function early by turning the ring switch back to
the Off position and then setting the required heat setting for the continuing cooking
period again.
Warming up times when cooking with the automatic warm up func-
tion

forms. This will help you decide which heat settings are best for “your cookware” and
“your recipes and quantities”.

Using the Oven18
Switching off an oven function
Press the arrow buttons or re-
peatedly until OVEN FUNCTIONS ap-
pears in the display again.
Turning the appliance off com-
pletely
Switch appliance off by pressing
the ON/OFF button.
3Cooling fan
The fan switches on automatically in order to keep the appliance’s surfaces cool. When
the oven is switched off, the fan continues to run to cool the appliance down, then
switches itself off automatically.
Pre-heating with the RAPID HEAT UP function
After an oven function has been selected, with the additional function RAPID HEAT UP
the pre-heating time can be shortened.
Pre-heating the empty oven is unnecessary for most baking and roasting sessions, be-
cause the temperature set is generally reached in a short time (see Tables and Tips).
We recommend pre-heating the empty oven using the RAPID HEAT UP function for bis-
cuits that quickly spread into one another, bread rolls and Swiss rolls.
1Important: Do not put the food to be cooked into the oven, until RAPID HEAT UP is
completed and the oven is operating using the desired function.
1. Set the oven function (e.g. CONVENTIONAL). Change the suggested temperature, if nec-
essary.
2. Press the RAPID HEAT UP button. The symbol lights up:
When the bars flash one after another it shows that RAPID HEAT UP is operating.
When the temperature set is reached, the bars of the heat indicator are lit. An audible
signal sounds. The symbol goes out.
The oven now continues heating according to the pre-set oven function and tempera-
ture. You can now place the food in the oven.
3If you generally prefer to put food into a pre-heated oven, you can switch on the RAPID
HEAT UP function permanently (see SETTINGS MENU).
The RAPID HEAT UP function is then switched off with the RAPID HEAT UP button.
