The appliance is intended for conventional preparation of food
in households and should not be used for any other purpose.
Individual options of use are comprehensively described in this
instruction manual.
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.
The appliance features a built-in cooling fan which cools the
appliance housing and control panel.
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 regular detergent. Do not use any abrasive
cleaners.
• When the oven heats up for the first time, the characteristic
smell of “the new” will be emitted. Therefore, ventilate the
