ovenware which displays areas of rust. Even the
smallest spots of rust can lead to corrosion in the
cooking compartment.
■Dripping liquids: When steaming with a perforated
cooking container, always insert the baking tray, the
universal pan or the solid cooking container
underneath. Dripping liquid is caught.
■Moisture in the cooking compartment: Over an
extended period of time, moisture in the cooking
compartment may lead to corrosion. Allow the
cooking compartment to dry after use. Do not keep
moist food in the closed cooking compartment for
extended periods of time. Do not store food in the
cooking compartment.

7Environmental protection
Environmentalprotection Your new appliance is particularly energy-efficient. Here
you can find tips on how to save even more energy
when using the appliance, and how to dispose of your
appliance properly.
Saving energy
■Only preheat the appliance if this is specified in the
recipe or in the tables in the operating instructions.
■Use dark, black lacquered or enamelled baking tins.
They absorb heat particularly well.
■Open the appliance door as infrequently as possible
during operation.
■It is best to bake several cakes one after the other.
The cooking compartment is still warm. This reduces
the baking time for the second cake. You can place
two cake tins next to each other in the cooking
compartment.
■For longer cooking times, you can switch the
appliance off 10 minutes before the end of the
cooking time and use the residual heat to finish
cooking.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly
manner.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with
European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning

value in the background is displayed in grey.
Display ring
The display ring can be found around the outside of the
display.
If you change a value, the display ring shows you where
you are in the selection list. Depending on the settings
area and length of the selection list, the display ring
may be continuous or divided into segments.
During operation, the display ring turns red at second-
long intervals. After every full minute, the segments turn
red again from the beginning. As the cooking time
counts down, one segment disappears every second.
Temperature display
After operation has started, the current cooking
compartment temperature is displayed graphically in
the display.

Cooking compartment functions
The functions in the cooking compartment make your
appliance easier to use. This, for example, enables the
cooking compartment to be well lit and a cooling fan to
prevent the appliance from overheating.
Opening the appliance door
If you open the appliance door during an on-going
operation, the operation is paused. The operation
continues to run when you close the door.
Interior lighting
When you open the appliance door, the interior lighting
switches on. If the door remains open for longer than
around 15 minutes, the lighting switches off again.
For most operating modes, the interior lighting switches
on as soon as the operation is started. When the
operation has finished, the lighting switches off.
Note: You can set the interior lighting not to come on
during the operation in the basic settings. ~"Basic
settings" on page 19
Cooling fan
The cooling fan switches on and off as required. The
hot air escapes above the door.
Caution!
Do not cover the ventilation slots. Otherwise, the
appliance may overheat.
So that the cooking compartment cools down more
quickly after the operation, the cooling fan continues to
run for a certain period afterwards.
Note: You can change how long the cooling fan
continues to run in the basic settings. ~"Basic
settings" on page 19
