Using energy in a respon-
sible way not only saves
money but also helps the
environment. So let’s save
energy! And this is how you
can do it:
Do not uncover the pan too often
(a watched pot never boils!).
Do not open the oven door unnecessarily
often.
 Switch o󰀨 the oven in good time and
make use of residual heat.
For long cooking times, switch o󰀨 heating
zones5to10minutesbeforenishingcook-
ing. This saves up to 20% on energy.
Only use the oven when cooking larger
dishes.
Meat of up to 1 kg can be prepared more
economically in a pan on the cooker hob.
Make use of residual heat from the
oven.
If the cooking time is greater than 40 minutes
switch o󰀨 the oven 10 minutes before the
end time.
Important! When using the timer,
set appropriately shorter cooking
times according to the dish being
prepared.
Make sure the oven door is properly
closed.
Heat can leak through spillages on the door
seals. Clean up any spillages immediately.
Do not install the oven in the direct
vicinity of refrigerators/freezers.
Otherwise energy consumption increases
unnecessarily.

Caution!
When selecting any heating function (switch-
ing a heater on etc.) the oven will only be
switched on after the temperature has ben
set by the Thermostat Control.
The oven can be heated up using the top and
bottom heater, the grill or the ultra-fan heater.
Operation of the oven is controlled by the
FunctionSelectorControl–tosetarequired
function you should turn the Control to the
selected position, and the Thermostat Control
–tosetarequiredtemperatureyoushould

Rapid Preheating
Top heater, grill and fan on. Use to
preheat the oven.
Defrost
Onlyfanisonandallheatersareo󰀨.
Fanned full grill
This function radiates the heat from
the grill element and the top element
with fan.
This function allows the grilling pro-
cess to be speeded up and an impro-
vement in the taste of the dish.
Full grill
This function radiates the heat from
the grill element and the top element.
This fully temperature variable grill is
ideal for grilling a full family meal. It
can be set between 50°C and 250°C
maximum.
Half grill
This function radiates the heat from the
grill element.
This fully temperature variable grill
can be set between 50°C and 250°C
maximum.
Bottom heater
This function radiates the heat from the
bottom element. Baking of cakes from
the bottom until done (moist cakes
withfruitstu󰀩ng).
Top and bottom heaters
The thermostat enables the user to set
the temperature within a range from
100°C to 250°C. Use for baking. This
setting is ideal for baking cakes, meat,
sh,breadandpizza(itisnecessary
to preheat the oven and use a baking
tray) on one oven level.

Use of the grill
The grilling process operates through infrared
rays emitted onto the dish by the incandes-
cent grill heater.
In order to switch on the grill you need to:
Set the Function Selector Control to the
position marked grill.
Heat the oven for approx. 5 minutes (with
the oven door shut).
Insert a tray with a dish onto the appropri-
ate cooking level; and if you are grilling
on the grate insert a tray for dripping on
the level immediately below (under the
grate).
Close the oven door.
For grilling with the function grill and
combined grill the temperature must be
set to 250ºC, but for the function fan and
grill it must be set to a maximum of 190ºC.
Warning!
When using function grill it is
recommended that the oven
door is closed.
When the grill is in use ac-
cessible parts can become
hot.
It is best to keep children
away from the oven.
15
OPERATION
Top heater, bottom heater and fan
This setting is most suitable for baking
cakes. Convection baking (recom-
mended for baking).
Fan oven
Using the circular element and the fan
with a temperature between 50°C and
250°C, this cooking function blows the
air into and around the oven cavity.
Heating in this manner helps to ensure
uniform heat circulation. Both cooking
temperatures and cooking times can
bereducedforamoreenergye󰀩cient
cooking process.
Fan and bottom heater
With this setting the convection fan
and bottom heater are on, which in-
creases the temperature at the bottom
of the cooked dish. Intense heat from
the bottom, moist cakes, pizza.
Light
The oven light will be turned on.
ECO Heating
This is an optimised heating function
designed to save energy when prepa-
ring food. When using this function, the
ovenlightisintentionallylefto󰀨.
The Thermostat Lamp L will be switched on
after the temperature has been set by the
Thermostat Control. If the Llight goes out, it
means the oven has reached the set tempera-
ture. If a recipe recommends placing dishes
in a warmed-up oven, this should be not done
before the Llightgoesoutforthersttime.
When baking, the Llight will temporarily come
on and go out (to maintain the temperature
inside the oven).

BAKING IN THE OVEN – PRACTICAL HINTS
Baking
Roasting meat
cook meat weighing over 1 kg in the oven, but smaller pieces should be cooked on
the gas burners.
use heatproof ovenware for roasting, with handles that are also resistant to high
temperatures;
when roasting on the drying rack or the grate we recommend that you place a baking
tray with a small amount of water on the lowest level of the oven;
it is advisable to turn the meat over at least once during the roasting time and during
roastingyoushouldalsobastethemeatwithitsjuicesorwithhotsaltywater–do
not pour cold water over the meat.
we recommend using the baking trays which were provided with your cooker;
it is also possible to bake in cake tins and trays bought elsewhere which should be
put on the drying rack; for baking it is better to use black trays which conduct heat
better and shorten the baking time;
shapes and trays with bright or shiny surfaces are not recommended when using the
conventional heating method (top and bottom heaters), use of such tins can result in
undercooking the base of cakes;
when using the ultra-fan function it is not necessary to initially heat up the oven
chamber, for other types of heating you should warm up the oven chamber before
the cake is inserted;
before the cake is taken out of the oven, check if it is ready using a wooden stick (if
the cake is ready the stick should come out dry and clean after being inserted into
the cake);
 afterswitchingo󰀨theovenitisadvisabletoleavethecakeinsideforabout5min.;
temperatures for baking with the ultra-fan function are usually around 20 – 30 degrees
lower than in normal baking (using top and bottom heaters);
the baking parameters given in Table are approximate and can be corrected based
on your own experience and cooking preferences;
 ifinformationgiveninrecipebooksissignicantlydi󰀨erentfromthevaluesincluded
in this instruction manual, please apply the instructions from the manual.
