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 be-
come necessary, please contact our Customer Services or your dealer.
Child Safety
•Never leave children unsupervised when the appliance is in use.
Safety whilst Using
•People (including children) who, because of their physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or their inexperience or ignorance are not able to use the device
safely, should not use this device without 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 appliances to sockets nearby. Do not allow
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
mixture 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 knowledge, intensive browning of food, espe-
cially in products containing starch, can constitute a health risk due to acryla-
mides. Therefore we recommend cooking at the lowest possible temperatures
and not browning foods too much.

Safety instructions6
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 dam-
age to or discoloration 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 inside 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 interior 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 af-
fect the appliance’s suitability for normal and correct use. They therefore do not
constitute a defect in the sense of the warranty law.

Inserting the Oven Shelf, Baking Tray and Roasting Pan
3Shelf runner safety and anti-tip device
As a shelf runner safety device, all insertable components have a small curved
indentation at the bottom on the right and left-hand edge.
Always insert insertable components so that this indentation is at the back of
the oven interior. This indentation is also important for preventing the insertable
components from tipping.

tween the guide bars of the selected oven
level.
Inserting the oven shelf:
Insert the oven shelf so that the feet point

19Uses, Tables and Tips
Uses, Tables and Tips
Baking
Oven function: Convection with ring heating element or
Conventional
Baking tins
•For Conventional dark metal and non-stick tins are suitable.
•For Convection with ring heating element bright metal tins are also suita-
ble.
Oven levels
•Baking with Conventional is possible on one oven level.
•With Convection with ring heating element you can bake on up to 3 baking
trays at the same time:
1 baking tray:
e.g. oven level 3
1 cake tin:
e.g. oven level 1
2 baking trays:
z. g., oven levels 1 and 3
3 baking trays:
oven levels 1, 3 and 5

Uses, Tables and Tips20
General Instructions
•Insert the tray with the bevel at the front.
•With Conventional or Convection with ring heating element you can
also bake with two tins next to one another on the oven shelf at the same
time. This does not significantly increase baking time.
3When frozen foods are used the trays inserted may distort during cooking. This
is due to the large difference in temperature 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 settings, 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 pastry, dough or mixture, the amount and the type of bak-
ing tin.
•We recommend using the lower temperature the first time and then if neces-
sary, for example, if a deeper browning is required, or baking time is too long,
selecting a higher temperature.
•If you cannot find the settings for a particular recipe, look for the one that is
most similar.
•If baking cakes on baking trays or in tins on more than one level, baking time
may be extended by 10-15 minutes.
•Moist recipes (for example, pizzas, fruit flans, etc.) are baked on one level.
•Cakes and pastries at different heights may brown at an uneven rate at first. If
this occurs, please do not change the temperature setting. Different rates
of browning even out as baking progresses.
•Your new oven may bake or roast differently to your previous appliance. So
adapt your normal settings (temperature, cooking times) and oven shelf levels
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.
