Causes of damage
Caution!
■Accessories, foil, greaseproof paper or ovenware on the
cooking compartment floor: do not place accessories on the
cooking compartment floor. Do not cover the cooking
compartment floor with any sort of foil or greaseproof paper.
Do not place ovenware on the cooking compartment floor if a
temperature of over 50 ºC has been set. This will cause heat
to accumulate. The baking and roasting times will no longer
be correct and the enamel will be damaged.
■Water in a hot cooking compartment: do not pour water into
the cooking compartment when it is hot. This will cause
steam. The temperature change can cause damage to the
enamel.
■Moist food: do not store moist food in the cooking
compartment when it is closed for prolonged periods This will
damage the enamel.
■Fruit juice: when baking particularly juicy fruit pies, do not
pack the baking tray too generously. Fruit juice dripping from
the baking tray leaves stains that cannot be removed. If
possible, use the deeper universal pan.
■Cooling with the appliance door open: only allow the cooking
compartment to cool when it is closed. Even if the appliance
door is only open a little, front panels of adjacent units could
be damaged over time.
■Very dirty door seal: If the door seal is very dirty, the
appliance door will no longer close properly when the
appliance is in use. The fronts of adjacent units could be
damaged.Always keep the door seal clean.
■Appliance door as a seat, shelf or worktop: Do not sit on the
appliance door, or place or hang anything on it. Do not place
any cookware or accessories on the appliance door.
■Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance model,
accessories can scratch the door panel when closing the

5
appliance door. Always insert the accessories into the
cooking compartment as far as they will go.
■Carrying the appliance: do not carry or hold the appliance by
the door handle. The door handle cannot support the weight
of the appliance and could break.
Energy and environment tips
Here you can find tips on how to save energy when baking and
roasting and how to dispose of your appliance properly.
Saving energy
Only preheat the oven if this is specified in the recipe or in the
operating instruction tables.
Use dark, black lacquered or enamelled baking tins. They
absorb the heat particularly well.
Open the appliance door as little as possible during cooking,
baking or roasting.
It is best to bake several cakes one after the other. The cooking
compartment is still warm. This may reduce the baking time for
the second cake.
For longer cooking times, you can switch the oven off
10 minutes before the end of the cooking time and use the
residual heat to finish cooking.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.

Operating modes
Here is an overview of the operating modes of your appliance.
This appliance complies with European Directive
2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE). The directive gives a framework for
the collection and recycling of old appliances, which is
valid across the EU.

Your accessories
In this section, you will find information on
■Your accessories
■the correct way to insert the accessories into the cooking
compartment
■the shelf positions
■the optional accessories
Accessories
The following accessories are included with your appliance:
Note: The baking tray and universal pan may become distorted
when the appliance is in operation. This is caused by the
considerable temperature differences acting on the
accessories. These differences may occur if only a part of the
accessory is covered with food, or if frozen items such as pizza
are placed on the accessory.
Inserting accessories
The accessories are equipped with a locking function. The
locking function prevents the accessories from tilting when they
are pulled out. The accessories must be inserted into the
cooking compartment correctly for the tilt protection to work
properly.
When inserting the wire rack, check
■that the lug (a) is pointing downwards
■that the lug (a) is in the rear part of the wire rack
When inserting the baking tray or the universal pan, check
■that the lug (a) is in the rear part of the of the accessory
■that the sloping edge of the accessory faces towards the
appliance door when it is inserted
Shelf positions
The cooking compartment has four shelf heights. The shelf
heights are counted from the bottom up.
Note: Do not use shelf height 2 when baking and roasting
with 3CircoTherm®. This will adversely affect air circulation
and your baking and roasting results will not be as good.
Optional accessories
You can purchase optional accessories from the after-sales
service or specialist retailers. A comprehensive range of
products for your appliance can be found in our brochures or
on our home page.
(Full-surface grill For large amounts of flat, small items for grilling (e.g.steaks, sausages)
$Bottom heat For food and baked goods which should form a crust or need more browning on the
underside.
Only activate bottom heat for a short while at the end of the baking time.

8
Tinplate and glass dishes increase the baking time required
and the cake will not brown evenly. If you wish to bake using
tinplate tins and %Top/bottom heat, you should use shelf
position 1.
If you wish to use silicone baking tins, use the information and
recipes provided by the manufacturer as a guide. Silicone
baking tins are often smaller than normal tins. The amount of
mixture and recipe instructions may differ.
If you are baking on one level with 3CircoTherm®, always
place a loaf tin diagonally (Fig. A) and a round tin in the centre
of the wire rack (Fig. B).
Baking trays
We recommend that you only use original baking trays, as
these have been optimally designed for the cooking
compartment and the operating modes.
Always slide the baking tray or the universal pan in carefully as
far as it will go and make sure that the sloping edge is facing
the appliance door.
Use the universal pan if you are baking moist cakes, so that the
cooking compartment does not get dirty.
Baking on two or more levels
If you are baking on several levels, you should preferably use
baking trays and insert these at the same time.
Bear in mind that your items may brown at different rates on
each level. The items on the top level will brown more quickly
and can be taken out earlier.
If you wish to bake on two levels using a baking tray and a
universal pan, you should insert the baking tray at shelf
height 3 and the universal pan at shelf height 1.
Baking table for basic doughs/cake mixtures
The values in the table are guidelines and apply to enamelled
baking trays and dark baking tins. The values may vary
depending on the type and amount of dough/mixture and on
the baking tin.
The values for bread dough apply to both dough placed on a
tray and dough placed in a loaf tin.
We recommend that you set the lower of the specified
temperatures the first time. Lower temperatures will generally
allow more even browning.
If you are baking according to your own recipe, use similar
recipes in the table as a guide.
Observe the notes in the table about preheating.

The cake is too light in colour Check the shelf height.
Check whether you have used the bakeware that we have recommended.
Place your tin on the wire rack and not on the baking tray.
If the shelf height and the bakeware are correct, then you should either extend the bak-
ing time or increase the temperature.
The cake is too dark Check the shelf height.
If the shelf height is correct, you should either shorten the baking time or reduce the
temperature.
The cake is unevenly browned in the bak-
ing tin Check the shelf height.
Check the temperature.
Make sure that your baking tin is not placed directly in front of the air outlets in the rear
wall of the cooking compartment.
Check that the baking tin is in the correct position on the wire rack.
The cake on the baking tray is unevenly
browned Check the shelf height.
Check the temperature.
If you are baking on several levels, take out the baking trays at different times.
When baking small items, make sure that they are the same size and thickness.
The cake is too dry Set a slightly higher temperature and a slightly shorter baking time.
The cake is too moist in the centre Set a slightly lower temperature.
Note: Higher temperatures do not necessarily mean shorter baking times (cooked on
the outside, but not on the inside). Select a longer baking time and allow the cake mix-
ture to prove for longer. Add less liquid to the mixture.
