: Safety precautions
Read these instructions for use carefully.
Please keep the instructions for use and
installation instructions in a safe place. If the
appliance changes owners, the instructions
should always be included.
Before installation
Damage during transport
Check the appliance for damage after unpacking it. Do not
connect the appliance if it has been damaged in transit.
Electrical connection
Only a licensed expert may connect the appliance. You will lose
your warranty entitlement in the event of any damage caused
by incorrect connection.
Safety notes
This appliance is intended for domestic use only. This
appliance must only be used for food preparation.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children
should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
Risk of burning!
Never touch the internal surfaces of the cooking compartment
or the heating elements when they are hot. Open the appliance
door carefully. Hot steam may escape. Small children must be
kept at a safe distance from the appliance.
During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken
to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven.
Accessible parts may become hot during use. To avoid burns
young children should be kept away.
Risk of fire!
Never store combustible items in the cooking compartment.
Never open the appliance door if smoke can be seen in the
appliance. Switch off the appliance. Pull out the mains plug or
disconnect the fuse in the fuse box.
Risk of short circuit!
Never trap connecting cables of electrical appliances in the hot
appliance door. The cable insulation could melt.
Risk of scalding!
Never pour water into the cooking compartment when it is hot.
This will create hot steam.
Risk of burning!
Never prepare food containing large quantities of drinks with a
high alcohol content. Alcoholic vapours can catch fire in the
cooking compartment. Only use small quantities of drinks with
a high alcohol content and take care when opening the
appliance door.
Risk of burning!
Never remove hot accessories or ovenware from the cooking
compartment without oven gloves.
Risk of electric shock!
Incorrect repairs are dangerous. Repairs may only be carried
out by one of our trained aftersales engineers. If the appliance
is defective, pull out the mains plug or switch off the appliance
at the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Call the aftersales
service.
Causes of damage
Caution!
■Do not place accessories on the cooking compartment floor.
Do not line the cooking compartment floor with foil of any
kind or greaseproof paper. Do not place ovenware on the
cooking compartment floor if a temperature of over 50 ºC is
set.This will cause heat accumulation. The baking and
roasting times will no longer be correct and the enamel will
be damaged.
■Never pour water into the cooking compartment when it is
hot. This will create steam. The temperature change can
damage the enamel.
■Do not store moist food in the closed cooking compartment
for long periods. This will damage the enamel.
■When baking very moist fruit flan, do not put too much on the
baking tray. Fruit juice dripping from the baking tray leaves
stains that cannot be removed. If possible, use the deeper
universal pan.
■Only leave the cooking compartment to cool with the door
closed. Even if the appliance door is only slightly open, the
fronts of adjacent units may be damaged over time.
■If the oven seal is very dirty, the oven door will no longer
close properly when the oven is in use. The fronts of adjacent
units could be damaged. Always keep the oven seal clean.
■Do not stand or sit on the open oven door. Do not place
cookware or accessories on the oven door.
■Do not carry or hold the appliance by the door handle. The
door handle cannot support the weight of the appliance, and
could break.

Your new oven
Here you will learn about your new oven. The control panel and
the individual operating controls are explained. You will find
information on the cooking compartment and the accessories.
Control panel
Here is an overview of the control panel. The display never
shows all of the symbols at the same time. Details may vary,
depending on the appliance model.
Control knobs
The control knobs can be popped out. Simply press the control
knob when it is in the off position to pop it in or out.
Buttons
The sensors are located under the individual buttons. They
must not be pressed too firmly. Only touch the corresponding
symbol.
Buttons and display
You can use the buttons to set various additional functions. You
can read the values that you have set in the display.
The time-setting option that is currently selected in the display
is indicated by the brackets [ ] around the corresponding
symbol. Exception: for the clock, the 0symbol only lights up
when you are making changes.
Function selector
Use the function selectors to set the type of heating.

òTop oven
When you make settings, the oven light in the cooking
compartment switches on.
Temperature selector
Use the temperature selector to set the temperature, grill
setting or cleaning level.
When the main oven is heating, the tsymbol lights up in the
display. When the top oven is heating, the indicator lamp for the
temperature lights up. They go out during heating pauses.
Cooking compartment
The oven light is located in the cooking compartment. A cooling
fan protects the oven from overheating.
Oven light
During operation, the oven light in the cooking compartment is
on. The ^setting on the function selector can be used to
switch on the light without heating the oven.
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 oven will overheat.
So that the cooking compartment cools down more quickly
after operation, the cooling fan continues to run for a certain
period afterwards.
Shelf positions
You can pull out the accessories two thirds of the way without
them tipping. This allows meals to be removed easily.
The accessories may become deformed when they become
hot. As soon as they have cooled down, the deformation
disappears with no effect on the function.
Main oven ó
The accessories can be inserted into the oven at 5 different
levels.
You can pull out the accessories approximately halfway without
them tipping. This allows meals to be removed easily. With the
pull-out rails at levels 2 and 3, you can pull the accessories out
further.
Depending on the appliance equipment, the pull-out rails latch
into place when they are pulled out the whole way. This makes
it easier for you to place the accessories on top. To unlock,
push the pull-out rails back into the cooking compartment with
a certain amount of force.
The accessories may become deformed when they become
hot. Once they have cooled down again, they regain their
original shape. This does not affect their function.
Top oven ò
The accessories can be inserted into the oven at 2 different
levels.
Accessories
You can buy accessories from the after-sales service, from
specialist retailers or online. Please specify the HEZ number.
