1Safety instructions
Electrical safety
•This appliance must be only connected
by a registered electrician.
•In the event of a fault or damage to the
appliance: Take the fuses out or switch
off.
•Repairs to the appliance must only be
carried out by qualified service engi-
neers. Considerable danger may result
from improper repairs. If repairs become
necessary, please contact our Custom-
er Services or your dealer.
Child Safety
•Never leave children unsupervised when
the appliance is in use.
Safety whilst using
•People (including children) who, be-
cause of their physical, sensory or men-
tal capabilities or their inexperience or
ignorance are not able to use the device
safely, should not use this device with-
out supervision or instruction by a re-
sponsible person.
•This appliance is intended to be used for
cooking, roasting and baking food in the
home.
•Take care when connecting electric ap-
pliances to sockets nearby. Do not al-
low connecting leads to come into
contact with or to catch beneath the hot
oven door.
•Warning: Risk of burns! The interior of
the oven becomes hot during use.
•Using ingredients containing alcohol in
the oven may create an alcohol-air mix-
ture that is easily ignited. In this case,
open the door carefully. Do not have
embers, sparks or naked flames in the
vicinity when opening the door.
3Information on acrylamides
According to the latest scientific knowl-
edge, intensive browning of food, espe-
cially in products containing starch, can
constitute a health risk due to acryla-
mides. Therefore we recommend cook-
ing at the lowest possible temperatures
and not browning foods too much.
How to avoid damage to the appliance
•Do not line the oven with aluminium foil
and do not place baking trays, pots, etc.
on the oven floor, as the heat that builds
up will damage the oven enamel.
•Fruit juices dripping from the baking tray
will leave stains, which you will not be
able to remove. For very moist cakes,
use a deep tray.
•Do not put any strain on the oven door
when open.
•Never pour water directly into the oven
when it is hot. This could cause damage
to or discolouration of the enamel.
•Rough handling, especially around the
edges of the front panel, can cause the
glass to break.
•Do not store any flammable materials in-
side the oven. These could ignite when
the oven is switched on.
•Do not store any moist foods inside the
oven. This could damage the oven
enamel.
•After switching off the cooling fan, do
not keep uncovered dishes in the oven.
Moisture may condense in the oven in-
terior or on the glass doors and may get
into the units.
3Note on enamel coating
Changes in the colour of the oven’s enamel
coating as a result of use do not affect the
appliance’s suitability for normal and correct
use. They therefore do not constitute a de-
fect in the sense of the warranty law.

e.g. oven level 1
General Instructions
•Insert the tray with the bevel at the front.
•With Conventional you can also bake
with two tins next to one another on the
oven shelf at the same time. This does
not significantly increase the baking
time.
3When frozen foods are used the trays in-
serted may distort during cooking. This
is due to the large difference in temper-
ature between the freezing temperature
and the temperature in the oven. Once
the trays have cooled the distortion will
disappear again.

How to use the Baking Tables
The tables give the required temperature set-
tings, baking times and oven shelf levels for
a selection of typical dishes.
•Temperatures and baking times are for
guidance only, as these will depend on
the consistency of the pastry, mixture or
dough and the number and the type of
baking tin.
•We recommend using the lower temper-
ature the first time and then if necessary,
for example, if a deeper browning is re-
quired, or baking time is too long, se-
lecting a higher temperature.
•If you cannot find the settings for a par-
ticular recipe, look for the one that is
most similar.
•Your new oven may bake or roast differ-
ently to your previous appliance. So
adapt your normal settings (tempera-
ture, cooking times) and oven shelf lev-
els to the recommendations in the
following tables.
2With longer baking times, the oven can
be switched off about 10 minutes before
the end of baking time, to make use of
the residual heat.
Unless otherwise stated, the values given in
the tables assume that cooking is started
with the oven cold.

Roasting
Oven function: Conventional
Ovenware for roasting
•Any heat-resistant ovenware is suitable
to use for roasting. (Please read the
manufacturer's instructions.)
•For all lean meats, we recommend
roasting these in a roasting tin or
dish with a lid. The meat will be more
succulent.
•All types of meat, that can be browned
or have crackling, can be roasted in a
roasting tin or dish without a lid.
3Tips on using the Roasting Table
The information given in the following ta-
ble is for guidance only.
•We recommend cooking meat and fish
weighing 1kg or more in the oven.
•To prevent meat juices or fat from burn-
ing onto the ovenware, we recommend
adding some liquid.
•If required, turn the roast (after 1/2 - 2/3
of the cooking time).
•Baste large roasts and poultry with their
juices several times during roasting. This
will give better roasting results.
•You can switch the oven off
about 10 minutes before the end of the
roasting time, in order to utilise the resid-
ual heat.

Making preserves
Oven function: Bottom heat
•For preserving, use only commercially
available preserve jars of the same size.
•Jars with twist-off or bayonet type
lids and metal tins are not suitable.
•When making preserves, the first shelf
position from the bottom is the one
most used.
•Use the shelf for making preserves.
There is enough room on this for up to
six 1-litre preserving jars.
•The jars should all be filled to the same
level and clamped shut.
•Place the jars on the baking tray in such
a way that they are not touching each
other.
•Pour approx. 1/2 litre of water into the
baking tray so that sufficient moisture is
produced in the oven.
•As soon as the liquid starts to pearl in
the first jars (after about 35-60 minutes
with 1 litre jars), switch the oven off or
reduce the temperature to 100°C (see
table).
