Introduction

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS –CAREFULLY READ THE
INSTRUCTIONS AND SAVE THEM FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Appliance must be connected to fixed wiring which has incorporated
means of disconnection. Fixed wiring must be made in accordance
with the wiring rules.
Means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in
accordance with the wiring rules.
The appliance must not be installed behind a decorative door in
order to avoid overheating.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order
to avoid a hazard (only for appliances supplied with connection
cord).
During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to
avoid touching the heating elements inside the oven.
This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and above,
and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities
or lack of experience and knowledge, if they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a
safe way, and if they understand the hazards involved. Children shall
not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall
not be done by children without supervision.
WARNING: Accessible parts may become hot during use. Young
children should be kept away.
WARNING: The appliance and some of its accessible parts may
become very hot during use. Care should be taken to avoid touching
heating elements. Children less than 8 years of age shall be kept
away unless continuously supervised.
The appliance is not intended to be controlled by external timers or
separate remote controll system.
Only use the temperature probe recommended for use in this oven.

Safety precautions

Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean
the oven door glass/ the glass of hinged lids of the hob (as
appropriate), since they can scratch the surface, which may result
in shattering of the glass.
Do not use steam cleaners or high-pressure cleaners to clean the
appliance as this may result in an electric shock.
WARNING: Before replacing the light bulb, make sure the appliance
has been disconnected from the mains power, in order to prevent
the hazard of an electric shock.
Never pour water directly on the bottom of the oven cavity.
Temperature differences could result in damage to the enamel
coating.
5
Safety precautions

The appliance is intended for household use. Do not use it for any other purpose, such as room
heating, drying of pets or other animals, paper, fabrics, herbs etc. As this may lead to injury or fire
hazard.
Appliance must be connected to fixed wiring which has incorporated means of disconnection. Fixed
wiring must be made in accordance with the wiring rules.
Do not lift the appliance by holding it by the door handle.
Oven door hinges may be damaged when under excessive load. Do not stand or sit on the open
oven door, and do not lean against it. Also, do not place any heavy objects onto the oven door.
If the power cords of other appliances placed near this appliance get entangled in the oven door,
they can be damaged, which in turn can result in a short circuit. Therefore, make sure the power
cords of other appliances are always at a safe distance.
Oven door become very hot during operation. A third glass is installed for extra protection, reducing
the temperature of the outside surface (only with some models).
Make sure the vents are never covered or obstructed in any other way.
Do not line the oven cavity with aluminium foil, and do not place any baking trays or other cookware
on the oven bottom. This would obstruct and reduce air circulation in the oven, slow down the baking
process, and destroy the enamel coating.
We recommend you avoid opening the oven door during baking, as this increases power consumption
and increases condensate accumulation.
At the end of the baking process, and during baking, be careful when opening the oven door, as
there is danger of scalding.
To prevent limescale accumulation, leave the oven door open after baking or using the oven, to
allow the oven cavity to cool down to room temperature.
Clean the oven when it has completely cooled down.
Eventual mismatches in colour shades between different appliances or components within a single
design line may occur due to various factors, such as different angles under which the appliances
are observed, different coloured backgrounds, materials, and room illumination.
Never pour water onto the oven cavity bottom. Temperature differences could result in damage to
the enamel coating.
Do not use the appliance if it is damaged. Call an authorized service centre.
WARNING!
Carefully read the instructions for use before connecting the appliance. Repair or any
warranty claim resulting from incorrect connection or use of the appliance shall not be
covered by the warranty.

CHOOSING THE COOKING SYSTEM
INFORMATION!
Appliance functions and equipment depend on the model.
UseSymbol
HOT AIR
Hot air allows better flow of hot air around the food. This way, it dries out the surface
and creates a thicker crust. Use this system to cook meat, pastry and vegetables,
and to dry food on a single rack or multiple racks simultaneously.
PIZZA SYSTEM
This system is optimal for baking homemade pizza and pastry with higher water
content. Use it to bake on a single rack, when you want the food to be done faster
and to be crunchy.
EXTRA CRISP (INTENSIVE BAKING)
This cooking method results in a crunchy crust without added fat. This is a healthy
version of fast-food preparing, resulting in lower calorie content. Suitable for smaller
cuts of meat, fish, vegetables, and frozen products ready for extra crispiness
(French fries,chicken nuggets).
GRILL WITH HOT AIR
Hot air allows better flow of hot air around the food. This will dry out the surface. In
combination with the grill heater/broiler, this will also result in a more intensive
colour.
For faster baking of meat and vegetables.
TURBO BAKE
For dishes where even crispiness from all sides is desirable. The system is also
suitable as the first step in the step baking mode, as it allows quick browning of
the surface in the first stage and slow baking in the second stage. The meat will
be juicy with a nicely browned crust.
LARGE GRILL
Use this system to grill large amounts of flat-shaped food like toast, open
sandwiches, grill sausages, steaks, fish, skewers etc., as well as for cooking au
gratin and for browning the crust. The heaters mounted on the top of the oven cavity
evenly heat the entire surface.
Maximum allowed temperature: 240 °C
14
Choosing the settings

UseSymbol
TOP AND BOTTOM HEATER
Use this system for conventional baking on a single rack, making soufflés, and
baking at low temperatures (slow cooking).
GENTLE BAKING
For gentle and controlled slow cooking of delicate food (soft cuts of meat) and
baking pastry with a crunchy bottom.
TOP AND BOTTOM HEATER WITH FAN
For even baking of food on a single rack, and for making soufflés.
LARGE GRILL WITH FAN
For roasting poultry and larger cuts of meat under a broiler.
LARGE GRILL AND BOTTOM HEATER
For faster baking on a single rack and for crisply browning the top of your pastry.
GRILL WITH BOTTOM HEATER AND FAN
For optimum baking of yeast-leavened dough, all types of bread, and for
preservation.
