touching heating elements. Children less than 8 years of age
shall be kept away unless continuously supervised.
The appliance is not intended to be controlled by external timers
or separate remote controll system.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to
clean the oven door glass/ the glass of hinged lids of the hob
(as appropriate), since they can scratch the surface, which may
result in shattering of the glass.
Do not use steam cleaners or high-pressure cleaners to clean
the appliance as this may result in an electric shock.
WARNING: Before replacing the light bulb, make sure the
appliance has been disconnected from the mains power, in
order to prevent the hazard of an electric shock.
Never pour water directly on the bottom of the oven cavity.
Temperature differences could result in damage to the enamel
coating.
Other important safety warnings
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.
Appliance must be connected to fixed wiring which has incorporated means of disconnection. Fixed
wiring must be made in accordance with the wiring rules.
We recommend that (due to appliance weight) at least two persons carry and install the appliance.
Do not lift the appliance by holding it by the door handle.
Oven door hinges may be damaged when under excessive load. Do not stand or sit on the open oven
door, and do not lean against it. Also, do not place any heavy objects onto the oven door.
If the power cords of other appliances placed near this appliance get entangled in the oven door, they
can be damaged, which in turn can result in a short circuit. Therefore, make sure the power cords of
other appliances are always at a safe distance.
5

Make sure the vents are never covered or obstructed in any other way.
Do not line the oven cavity with aluminium foil, and do not place any baking trays or other cookware
on the oven bottom. This would obstruct and reduce air circulation in the oven, slow down the baking
process, and destroy the enamel coating.
We recommend you avoid opening the oven door during baking, as this increases power consumption
and increases condensate accumulation.
At the end of the baking process, and during baking, be careful when opening the oven door, as there
is danger of scalding.
To prevent limescale accumulation, leave the oven door open after baking or using the oven, to allow
the oven cavity to cool down to room temperature.
Clean the oven when it has completely cooled down.
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.
Do not use the appliance if it is damaged. Unplug the appliance from the power mains and call an
authorized service centre.
The oven can be safely used with or without baking pan guides.
Do not store items in the oven, which could cause danger when the oven is switched on.
The deviation of the daily time display on the screen does not affect the functionality of the appliance
and may be due to fluctuations in the frequency of the electrical network.
WARNING!

Guides
•The guides allow cooking or baking on 5 rack levels.
•The height levels of guides into which the racks can be inserted shall be counted from bottom up.
•Guide levels 4 and 5 are intended for grilling/broiling.
•When inserting equipment, it should be correctly rotated.
Wire guides
In case of wire guides, always insert the wire
rack and the baking tray into the slot between
the upper and lower part of each guide level.
Fixed pull-out guides
(depending on the model)
Pull-out guides may be fitted for the 2nd and
4th level.
In case of fixed pull-out guides, place the rack
or baking tray onto the guide. You can place
the wire rack directly onto a baking tray (shallow
or deep all-purpose baking tray) and place both
onto the same guide; in this case, the baking
tray acts as a drip tray.
9

Click-on pull-out guides
(depending on the model)
The click-on pull-out guide can be inserted into
any space between two wire guides.
Place the guide symmetrically onto the wire
guides on the left and the right side of the oven

The click-on pull-out guides cannot be mounted onto guides with fixed double-level partial
extension. They can, however, be mounted on to single-level partially extendible guides, to levels
3–4 and 4–5.
Make sure the pull-out guide is correctly rotated and that it extends outwards, i.e. out from the
oven.
Oven door switch
(depending on the model)
If the oven door is opened during oven operation, the switch turns off the heater and fan in the oven
cavity. When the door is closed, the switch turns the appliance operation back on.
Cooling fan
The appliance is fitted with a cooling fan that cools the housing, the door, and the appliance control
unit. After the oven is switched off, the cooling fan continues to operate for a short while in order to
cool down the oven.
Oven equipment and accessories
(depending on the model)

Choosing the settings
CHOOSING THE COOKING SYSTEM
Rotate the KNOB (left and right) to select the COOKING SYSTEM (see
program table).
The symbol for the selected system will be lit.
INFORMATION!
Appliance functions and equipment depend on the model.
UseSymbol
RAPID PREHEATING
To reach the set temperature in the shortest possible time. A short acoustic signal
is emitted when the oven is heated to the selected temperature. This is followed
up by the system setting you wish to use to cook your food. This function is not
suitable for cooking food.
HOT AIR 1)
Hot air allows better flow of hot air around the food. This way, it dries out the surface
and creates a thicker crust. Use this system to cook meat, pastry and vegetables,
and to dry food on a single rack or multiple racks simultaneously. Steam injection
results in better browning and more crunchiness of the surface.
HOT AIR AND BOTTOM HEATER
This system is optimal for baking pizza and pastry with higher water content. Use
it to bake on a single rack when you want the food to be done faster and to be
crunchy.
LARGE GRILL WITH FAN
For roasting poultry and larger cuts of meat under a broiler.
INTENSIVE BAKING (AIR FRY)1)
This cooking method results in a crunchy crust without added fat. This is a healthy
version of fast-food frying, with fewer calories in the cooked food. Suitable for
smaller cuts of meat, fish, vegetables, and frozen products ready for frying (French
fries, chicken nuggets).
Steam injection results in better browning and more crunchiness of the surface.
TOP AND BOTTOM HEATER1)
Use this system for conventional baking on a single rack, making soufflés, and
baking at low temperatures (slow cooking).
Steam injection results in better browning and more crunchiness of the surface.
TOP AND BOTTOM HEATER WITH FAN1)
For even baking of food on a single rack, and for making soufflés.
13

Table continued from last page
UseSymbol
LARGE GRILL
Use this system to grill large amounts of flat-shaped food like toast, open
sandwiches, grill sausages, fish, skewers etc., as well as for cooking au gratin and
for browning the crust. The heaters mounted on the top of the oven cavity evenly
heat the entire surface.
Maximum allowed temperature is 240 °C.
SLOW BAKING2)
For gentle, slow and even cooking of meat, fish and pastry on a single rack. This
cooking method will leave the meat with a higher water content, making it juicier
and more tender, while pastry will be evenly browned/baked. This system is used
in the temperature range between 140 °C and 220 °C.
DEFROSTING
Use this function for controlled defrosting of frozen food (cakes, pastry, bread, rolls,
and deep-frozen fruit). During the defrosting process, turn the pieces of food over,
stir the food, and separate any chunks that are frozen together. For microbiological
safety, we recommend slowly defrosting meat and other delicate foods in the
refrigerator.
BOTTOM HEATER / AQUA CLEAN
Only the bottom heater will radiate heat. Use this function to remove stains and
food residues from the oven. The program takes 30 minutes.
1) You can add steam to the baking process with these systems. The basic function will operate
when the system is selected. By using a baking tray with water, the function is changed to baking
with addition of steam (see chapter Start of operation).
2) This function is used for determining the energy efficiency class pursuant to the EN 60350-1 standard.
