The switch will turn off the oven heating and the fan when door
is opened during oven operation; when the door is closed again,
the heating is resumed.
Whenever the oven door is open, the sign “door” will
appear on the oven display. In this case, the oven will
not heat up.
The appliance features a built-in cooling fan which cools the
appliance housing and control panel.
During the pyrolitic self-cleaning program, the cooling level is
automatically increased.
After the oven is switched off, the cooling fan continues to operate
for a while in order to additionally cool down the appliance.
The PYROLYSIS program allows automatic cleaning of the oven
interior by employing high temperature that causes the grease
stains and other impurities to incinerate and thus reduces them
to ashes. When the pyrolitic cleaning program is completed and
the oven has cooled down, simply wipe the ashes from the oven
cavity using a damp cloth.
Before activating the automatic pyrolitic cleaning
cycle, carefully read and observe the instructions in
the section Cleaning and Maintenance, in which correct
and safe use of this function is described!
With average use of the oven, we recommend running
the pyrolitic self-cleaning cycle once a month.
As a result of pyrolitic cleaning, the cavity surface and
oven accessories appropriate for pyrolitic cleaning
may be slightly discoloured and lose its lustre.
For your safety, the oven door is automatically locked several
minutes into the oven self-cleaning cycle (when the temperature
inside the oven reaches approx. 250°C). The door is unlocked
approximately thirty minutes after the end of the program.
Do not attempt to open the oven door while the self-
cleaning cycle is in progress. The self-cleaning cycle
may be interrupted. Danger of burning!
Make sure no impurities block the door lock slot / hole,
as this could prevent automatic locking of the door
during the oven’s pyrolitic self-cleaning cycle.
In case of a power failure during the pyrolitic self-
cleaning cycle, the pyrolysis program is stopped and
the door remains locked. The door lock is disengaged
thirty minutes after the resumption of power supply,
even if the appliance has cooled down in the meantime.

• Remove all accessories from the oven and clean them with
warm water and a conventional detergent. Do not use abrasive
cleaning aids.
• When the oven is heated up for the first time, a specific odor of
a “new appliance” will be discharged; therefore, ventilate the
room thoroughly while the oven heats up.
• Use dark, black silicon coated or enamel coated baking trays,
as these transmit the heat particularly well.
• Only preheat the oven if specifically stated in the recipe or in
the instruction tables herein.
• Heating up an empty oven uses a lot of energy; therefore,
a lot of power is saved if several types of pastry are cooked
consecutively, as the oven is already heated up.
• Approximately ten minutes before the anticipated end of the
cooking process, the oven may be turned off. This way, you
will save some power and make use of the accumulated heat.
• Each time the appliance is connected to the power mains,
“12.00” will flash on the display.
• Turn on the appliance by pressing the on/off key (A).

the available options in both directions, which is not possible if
only the (K) key is used.
The oven may operate in the following modes
Upper / lower heater
The heaters on the upper and lower side of the oven radiate heat
uniformly and evenly into the oven interior. Pastry and meat can
be cooked on one shelf level only.
Preset temperature 200°C.
Large grill
With this operation mode, the upper heater and the infra heater
are activated simultaneously. The infra heater installed on the
oven interior ceiling radiates heat directly. To boost the heating
effect or to make optimal use of the entire area of the oven grid,
the upper heater is also activated.
This operation mode is appropriate for cooking smaller chunks
of meat, such as steaks, roasts, chops, ribs, etc.
Preset temperature 240°C.
Grill
Only the infra heater is activated (which also operates, along
with the upper heater, in the Large grill mode). This mode is
appropriate for grilling smaller quantities of toasted sandwiches,
grill sausages, or simply for toasting bread.
Preset temperature 240°C.
