FlexiClip telescopic runners
HFC70-C
(Optional accessory)
FlexiClip telescopic runners can only be
fitted on levels 1, 2 and 3.
Preferably fit the FlexiClip telescopic run-
ners onto level1. You can then use them
for food which should be cooked on lev-
el2.
The FlexiClip telescopic runners can be
drawn right out of the oven individually
to give a good overview of the cooking in
progress.
To prevent the risk of accessories sliding
off the telescopic runners:
– Make sure that they are sitting secure-
ly on their runners in between the stop-
pers at either end of each runner.
– Always place the rack with the load-
ing surface in the lower position on the
FlexiClip telescopic runners.
The FlexiClip telescopic runners can sup-
port a maximum load of 15kg.

Cleaning the oven
Please refer to the Operating and instal-
lation instructions for more detailed in-
formation on cleaning and care.
All surfaces of this appliance are suscep-
tible to scratching.
Remove any soiling immediately to pre-
vent a permanent discolouration or altera-
tion of the surface.
Surfaces of the oven cavity and different ac-
cessories treated with PerfectClean enam-
el are characterised by their exceptional non-
stick properties and ease of cleaning.
To clean them by hand, you can
– remove the door
– dismantle the door
– remove the FlexiClip telescopic runners (if
present)
– remove the shelf runners
– lower the top heat/grill element.
– remove the catalytic enamelled back panel
Danger of burning!
Make sure the oven heating elements
are switched off. Make sure the oven has
cooled down.
ĺClean the oven front, the interior and the
door with a clean sponge and a solution of
warm water and washing-up liquid, or with
a clean, damp microfibre cloth.
ĺWipe dry using a soft cloth.
Catalytic enamel inside the oven with grease
deposits will self-clean when high tempera-
tures are used.
ĺAny residual soiling can be removed with
a solution of warm water and washing-up
liquid applied with a soft brush.
ĺLeave all parts to dry.
Cleaning and care
Basic operation
ĺSelect the required oven function with
the function selector.
ĺSelect the temperature with the temper-
ature selector.

Further functions
The minute timer can be used to time
cooking programmes and other activi-
ties in the kitchen, e.g. boiling eggs (see
"Clock/timer - Using the minute minder").
You can switch cooking processes on and

ration or a finish time(see "Cooking
duration/finish time").
Cooking duration: The oven switch-
es off automatically when this time has
elapsed.
Cooking duration and finish time:
The cooking programme switches on and

Recommendation Note
Baking

ing
Roast-
ing
Grilling
Conventional
Heat
50–250°C – For baking and roasting traditional recipes, cooking soufflés
and cooking at low temperatures.
If using an older recipe or cookbook, set the oven tempera-
ture 10°C lower than that recommended. This will not change
cooking times.
Bottom Heat 50–250°C – – – Use this function towards the end of cooking to brown the
base of the food.
Grill – – For grilling thin cuts (e.g. steaks)
or browning baked dishes
Defrost – – – – For the gentle defrosting of frozen food
Rapid Heat-up 50–250°C – – – For rapid preheating of the oven
Once the desired temperature has been reached the oven
mode must be selected.
Fan Plus 50–250°C – For baking and roasting dishes on several levels at the same
time
Cooking with lower temperatures than with
Intensive Bake 50–250°C – – For baking dishes with a moist topping
Fan Grill 180 °C – – For grilling thicker cuts of meat
(e.g. rolled meat, chicken)
Gentle Bake 50–250°C – – Suitable for small amounts, e.g. frozen pizzas, bake-off rolls,
biscuits and for meat dishes and roasts.
Energy-efficient thanks to optimal utilisation of heat. When
cooking on a single level, up to 30% less energy is used with
comparatively good cooking results.
The oven lighting does not switch on.
Energy saving tips
ĺRemove any accessories that you are
not using from the oven before starting
the cooking process.
ĺPre-heat the oven only if instructed to
do so in the recipe or the cooking chart.
ĺTry not to open the door during cooking
processes. This will prevent heat from
escaping unnecessarily.
ĺIn general, if a range of temperatures is
given in a recipe or chart, it is best to
select the lower temperature and check
the food after the shortest duration.
ĺFan Plus: For baking and roasting
on different levels at the same time. A
lower temperature can be selected than
with Conventional Heat .
ĺFan Grill: Lower temperatures can
be used than when using the Grill
function.
ĺGentle Bake: Energy-efficient bak-
ing with optimal use of heat (see "Over-
view of functions").
ĺReduce energy consumption by utilising
residual heat:
Cooking programmes using temperatures
above 140°C which take longer than
30minutes: Turn down to the lowest
possible temperature about 5minutes
before the end of cooking. The cooling fan
remains switched on. Do not switch the
oven off completely.
Whenever possible bake several dishes
at the same time or immediately one after
the other.
A catalytic cleaning programme is best
started immediately after a cooking pro-
gramme.
ĺMonitoring the cooking time: Whenever
possible set a cooking duration, or use
a roast probe.
ĺUse dark coloured baking tins and con-
tainers with a matt finish made from
non-reflective materials. Do not cover
the oven floor or the rack with heat-re-
flecting aluminium foil.
Tips on baking, roasting and
grilling
Baking
Bake on different levels at the same time
using the Fan Plus function:
– 1 tray: Shelf level 2
– 2 trays: Shelf levels 1+3/2+4
– 3 trays: Shelf levels 1+3+5 (not suita-
ble for moist cakes and tarts)
Roasting
Browning:
Browning only occurs towards the end of
the roasting time. Remove the lid about
halfway through the roasting time if a
more intensive browning result is desired.
Standing time:
At the end of the programme, take the
roast out of the oven, wrap in aluminium
foil and leave to stand for about 10min-
utes. This helps retain juices when the
meat is carved.
Roasting poultry:
For a crisp skin, baste the poultry 10min-
utes before the end of the cooking time
with slightly salted water.
Grilling
If the surface of a thicker cut of meat is
browned but the centre is still raw, move
the food to a lower level or reduce the
temperature and continue cooking. This
will stop the surface from becoming too
dark.
