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.

5
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 4 and 5 are intended for grilling.
TELESCOPIC PULL-OUT GUIDES
Telescopic pull-out guides may be fitted for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th level.
There are several different designs of the pull-out guides (depending on the model):
three partially extendible, one fully and two partially extendible, and three fully extendible
guides.
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).
489554
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.
OVEN EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES
Before pyrolytic cleaning, remove all accessories, except for PYROLYTIC
BAKING TRAYS, from the oven!

6
489554
The SHALLOW BAKING SHEET is used for
baking pastry and cakes.
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.
The appliance and some of the accessible parts tend to heat up
during cooking. Use oven mitts.
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.
