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.

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

1. Remove the accessories from the cooking
compartment.
2. Remove leftover packaging, such as polystyrene
pellets, from the cooking compartment.
3. Before calibrating the appliance, wipe the smooth
surfaces in the cooking compartment with a soft,
damp cloth.

its appearance and remain fully functioning for a long
time to come. We will explain here how you should
correctly care for and clean your appliance.
:Warning – Risk of short circuit!
Do not use high-pressure cleaners or steam jet cleaners
to clean your appliance.
Caution!
Risk of surface damage
Do not use
■harsh or abrasive cleaning agents
■oven cleaners
■corrosive or aggressive cleaners, or those
containing chlorine

The enclosed cleaning sponge is very absorbent. Use
the cleaning sponge only for cleaning the cooking
compartment and for removing residual water from the
evaporator dish.
Wash the cleaning sponge thoroughly before using for
the first time. You can wash the cleaning sponge in the
washing machine (hot wash).
Microfibre cloth
The honeycomb microfibre cloth is particularly suitable
for cleaning sensitive surfaces such as glass, glass
ceramic, stainless steel or aluminium (product
no. 460 770, also available from our online eShop). It
removes liquid and greasy deposits in one go.
