coating.
Safe and correct use of the oven during pyrolytic cleaning
Before activating the automatic cleaning process, remove all
equipment from the oven: the wire rack, the spit-roasting kit,
all baking trays, meat probe, wire and telescopic guides, and
any other cookware that is not a part of the oven equipment
Before you start the cleaning process, remove any residue of
spilt liquid and all moving parts from the oven cavity.
5

During the automatic cleaning process, the oven heats up to
a very high temperature and it is very hot on the outside as
well. Risk of burns! Keep children away from the oven.
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.
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.
Before you activate automatic cleaning, carefully read and observe all instructions in the chapter
Cleaning and Maintenance, which describes correct and safe use of this function
Do not place anything on the oven bottom during the automatic cleaning process.
6

Pyrolytic cleaning involves very high temperatures that may cause smoke and fumes to be released
form food residues. We recommend that you ensure thorough ventilation of the kitchen during the
pyrolytic cleaning process. Small animals, or pets, are highly sensitive to any fumes released during
pyrolytic cleaning of ovens. We recommend removing them from the kitchen during pyrolytic cleaning
and ventilating the kitchen thoroughly after the cleaning process.
Do not open the oven door during cleaning.
Make sure no foreign objects enter the opening for locking the door guide, as this could block automatic
door locking during the oven cleaning process.
Do not touch any metal surfaces or parts of the appliance during the automatic cleaning process!
In case of a power outage during the automatic cleaning process, the program will be terminated after
two minutes and the oven door will remain locked. The door will be unlocked, when the appliance
senses that the temperature has dropped to below 150 °C in the centre of the oven cavity.
After the self-cleaning process, the oven cavity and the oven accessories can discolour and lose their
sheen. This does not affect their functionality.

Appliance equipment
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.
10

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
cavity. First, hook the upper clip of the guide

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.
WARNING!
Using the oven with the door open and the door switch engaged (closed) is not allowed.
The oven will signal an error, and it will have to be reset.
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)
WARNING!
Before pyrolytic cleaning, wait for the oven to cool down and remove all equipment and
accessories from it, including the guides (depending on the model).
The WIRE RACK is used for grilling/broiling or
as support for a pan, baking tray or baking dish
with the food you are baking.
11

INFORMATION!
There is a safety latch on the wire rack.
Therefore, the wire rack has to be lifted
slightly at the front when pulling it out from
the oven.
SHALLOW BAKING TRAY is used for flat and
small pastry. It can also be used as a drip tray.
WARNING!
The shallow baking tray may deform as
it heats up in the oven. Once it cools
down, it returns to the initial shape.
Such deformation does not affect its
function.
The SHALLOW PERFORATED BAKING TRAY
is used for cooking with systems that feature
steam injection and for air frying. The
perforation improves airflow around the food
for a crispier crust.
When cooking food with high liquid content
(water, fat), place the shallow baking tray or
all-purpose deep baking tray one rack lower to
serve as drip tray.
The ALL-AROUND DEEP BAKING TRAY is
used for roasting vegetables and baking moist
pastry. It can also be used as a drip tray.

To reach the set temperature in the shortest possible time. When the oven is heated
to the selected temperature, Prht will appear on the display unit and a short acoustic
signal will be emitted. This is followed up by the system setting you wish to use to
cook your food. This function is not suitable for cooking food.
TOP AND BOTTOM HEATER WITH FAN1)
For even baking of food on a single rack, and for making soufflés.
LARGE GRILL WITH FAN1)
For roasting poultry and larger cuts of meat under a broiler.
INTENSIVE BAKING (AIR FRY)1) 2)
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..
HOT AIR1) 2)
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.
Steam injection results in better browning and more crunchiness of the surface.
TOP AND BOTTOM HEATER1) 2)
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.
LARGE GRILL1)
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.
