given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance
in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children
shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance
shall not be made by children without supervision.
,WARNING: The appliance and its accessible parts become hot
during use. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating ele-
ments. Children less than 8 years of age shall be kept away un-
less continuously supervised.
WARNING: Accessible parts may become hot during use.
Young children should be kept away.
During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to
avoid touching heating elements inside the oven.

oven.
WARNING: Ensure that the appliance is switched off before re-
placing the lamp to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to
clean the oven door glass/ the glass of hinged lids of the hob

The appliance is intended for household
use. Do not use it for any other purpose,
such as room heating, drying of pets or
other animals, paper, fabrics, herbs etc. As
this may lead to injury or fire hazard.
The appliance may only be connected to
the power mains by an authorized service
technician or expert. Tampering with
the appliance or nonprofessional repair
thereof may result in risk of severe injury or
damage to the product.
If the power cords of other appliances
located near this appliance are caught

which may in turn result in a short circuit.
Therefore, keep the power cords of other
appliances at a safe distance.
Do not line the oven walls with aluminium
foil and do not place baking trays or other
cookware on the oven bottom. Aluminium
foil would prevent air circulation in the
oven, hinder the cooking process, and ruin
the enamel coating.
Oven door become very hot
duringoperation. A third glass is installed
for extra protection, reducing the
temperature of the outside surface (only
with some models).
Oven door hinges may be damaged when
under excessive load. Do not place heavy
pans on open oven door and do not lean
against open oven door when cleaning the
oven cavity. Never stand on the open oven
door and do not let children to sit on it.
Appliance operation is safe with and
without tray guides.
Make sure the vents are never covered or
obstructed in any other way.
Eventual mismatches in colour shades
between different appliances or
components within a single design
line may occur due to various factors,
such as different angles under which
the appliances are observed, different
coloured backgrounds, materials, and room
illumination.

The figure represents one of the built-in appliance models. Since the appliances for which
these instructions were drawn up may have different equipment, some functions or
equipment may be described in the manual that may not be present in your appliances.
CONTROL LIGHTS
The red light is no when the oven heaters are activated. When the selected temperature is
reached, the red light is switched off.
When a function is selected, the dial of the selected knob will be lit up. These appliances
do not have a yellow light (only with some models).
Oven lighting will be switched on automatically when the cooking system is selected.

7
WIRE GUIDES
The wire guides allow preparation of the food on four levels (please note that the levels/
guides are counted from the bottom up).
Guides 3 and 4 are intended for grilling.
TELESCOPIC PULL-OUT GUIDES
Telescopic pull-out guides may be fitted for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th level.
Pull-out guides can be partly or fully extendible.
OVEN DOOR SWITCH
The switches deactivate oven heating and the fan when the oven door is opened during
the cooking process. When the door is closed, the switches turn the heaters back on.
COOLING FAN
The appliance is fitted with a cooling fan that cools the housing and the appliance control
panel.
EXTENDED OPERATION OF THE COOLING FAN
After the oven is switched off, the cooling fan continues to operate for a short while in
order to cool the oven. (Extended cooling fan operation depends on the temperature in
the center of the oven).
789074
OVEN EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES (depending on the model)
GLASS BAKING DISH is used for cooking
with all oven systems. It can also be used as
a serving tray.
The GRID is used for grilling or as support
for a pan, baking tray or baking dish with
the food.
There is a safety latch on the grid.
Therefore, lift the grid slightly at the front
when pulling it out from the oven.
The SHALLOW BAKING SHEET is used for
baking pastry and cakes.

8
789074
The DEEP BAKING TRAY is used for roasting
meat and baking moist pastry. It can also be
used as a drip tray.
Never place the deep baking tray in the
first guide during the cooking process, except
when grilling food or using the roasting spit
and you are only using the deep tray as a drip
tray.
As baking accessories heat up, their
form may change. This does not affect
their functionality and their original form
will be restored when they cool down.
The grid or the tray should always be
inserted into the groove between the two
wire profiles.
With telescopic extendible guides, first pull
out the guides of one level and place the
grid or the baking tray onto them. Then,
push them in with your hand as far as they
will go.
Close the oven door when the
telescopic guides are retracted all the way
into the oven.

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
FOR THE FIRST TIME
Upon receiving the appliance, remove all parts, including any transport equipment, from
the oven.
Clean all accessories and utensils with warm water and regular detergent. Do not use any
abrasive cleaners.
Before using the oven for the first time, heat it with the upper and lower heater system
at 200 °C for approximately one hour. The characteristic "new appliance" scent will be
released; make sure the room is well ventilated.

cavity will radiate heat evenly into the oven interior. Pastry or
meat can only be baked/roasted at a single height level.
200
GRILL
Only grill heater, a part of the large grill set, will operate.
This system is used for grilling a smaller amount of open
sandwiches or beer sausages, and for toasting bread.
240
LARGE GRILL
The upper heater and the grill heater will operate. The heat
is radiated directly by the grill heater installed in the oven
ceiling. To boost the heating effect, the upper heater is
activated as well.
This combination is used for grilling a smaller amount of
open sandwiches, meat or beer sausages, and for toasting
bread.
240
GRILL WITH FAN
Grill heater and the fan will operate. This combination is used
to grill meat and to roast larger chunks of meat or poultry at
a single height level. It is also appropriate for dishes au gratin
and for browning to a crispy crust.

HOT AIR AND BOTTOM HEATER
The bottom heater, the round heater, and the hot air fan
will operate. This is used to bake pizza, moist pastry,
fruitcakes, leavened dough and shortcrust on several levels
simultaneously.
200
HOT AIR
Round heater and the fan will operate. The fan installed
in the back wall of the oven cavity makes sure the hot air
constantly circulates around the roast or pastry. This mode
is used for roasting meat and baking pastry at several levels
simultaneously.

DESCRIPTIONS OF SYSTEMS
(COOKING MODES) AND
COOKING TABLES
If your desired food cannot be found in the cooking table, find information for similar
food. The information displayed applies to cooking in a single level.
An interval of suggested temperature is indicated. Start with a lower temperature setting
and increase it if you find the food is not browned sufficiently.
Cooking times are rough estimates and may vary subject to some conditions.
Only preheat the oven if required by the recipe of in the tables in this instruction manual.
Heating an empty oven consumes a lot of energy. Hence, baking several types of pastry
or several pizzas successively will save a lot of energy as the oven will already have been
preheated.
Use dark, black silicon-layered or enamel-coated baking sheets and trays as they conduct
the heat very well.
When using parchment paper, make sure it is resistant to high temperatures.
When cooking larger chunks of meat or pastry, a lot of steam will be generated inside the
oven, which in turn may condense on the oven door. This is a normal phenomenon which
will not affect the operation of the appliance. After the cooking process, wipe the door
and the door glass dry.
Switch off the oven approximately 10 minutes before the end of the cooking process to
save energy by making use of the accumulated heat.
Do not cool the food in a closed oven to prevent condensation (dew).
