ã=Safety precautions
Please read this instruction manual carefully. Please keep the
instruction and installation manuals in a safe place. Please
pass on these manuals to the new owner if you sell the
appliance.
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.
Adults and children must not operate the appliance without
supervision,
■if they are physically or mentally incapable of doing so or
■if they have insufficient knowledge or experience.
Never let children play with the appliance.
Hot cooking compartment
Risk of burns!
■Never touch the interior surfaces of the cooking compartment
or the heating elements. Open the appliance door carefully.
Hot steam may escape. Small children must be kept at a safe
distance from the appliance.
■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 open the appliance door
carefully.
Risk of fire!
■Never store combustible items in the cooking compartment.
Never open the appliance door if there is smoke inside.
Switch off the appliance. Pull out the mains plug or switch off
the circuit breaker in the fuse box.
■Do not place greaseproof paper loosely over accessories
during preheating. A draught is created when the appliance
door is opened. The greaseproof paper may come into
contact with the heating element and catch fire. Always
weight down the greaseproof paper with a dish or a baking
tin. Only cover the surface required with greaseproof paper.
The greaseproof paper must not protrude over the
accessories.
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 hot cooking compartment. This will
produce hot steam.
Hot accessories and ovenware
Risk of burns!
Never remove ovenware or accessories from the cooking
compartment without an oven cloth or oven gloves.
Improper repairs
Risk of electric shock!
Improper 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 aftersales
service.
Causes of damage
Caution!
■Accessories, foil, greaseproof paper or ovenware on the
cooking compartment floor: do not place accessories on the
cooking compartment floor. Do not cover the cooking
compartment floor with any sort of foil or greaseproof paper.
Do not place ovenware on the cooking compartment floor if a
temperature of over 50 ºC has been set. This will cause heat
to accumulate. The baking and roasting times will no longer
be correct and the enamel will be damaged.
■Water in a hot cooking compartment: do not pour water into
the cooking compartment when it is hot. This will cause
steam. The temperature change can cause damage to the
enamel.
■Moist food: do not store moist food in the cooking
compartment when it is closed for prolonged periods This will
damage the enamel.
■Fruit juice: when baking particularly juicy fruit pies, do not
pack the baking tray too generously. Fruit juice dripping from
the baking tray leaves stains that cannot be removed. If
possible, use the deeper universal pan.
■Cooling with the appliance door open: only allow the cooking
compartment to cool when it is closed. Even if the appliance
door is only open a little, front panels of adjacent units could
be damaged over time.
■Heavily soiled oven seal: if the oven seal is heavily soiled, the
oven door will no longer close properly when the oven is in
operation. The fronts of adjacent units could be damaged.
Always keep the oven seal clean.
■Oven door as a bearing surface: do not stand or place
objects on the oven door when it is open. Do not place
ovenware or accessories on the oven door.
■Carrying the appliance: do not carry or hold the appliance by
the door handle. The door handle cannot support the weight
of the appliance and could break.

When you make settings, the oven light in the cooking
compartment switches on.

selector.
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. It goes out during pauses in the heating.
For the BDefrost type of heating, the symbol does not light up.

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

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.
