Causes of damage
Caution!
ʋAccessories, 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.
ʋWater 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.
ʋMoist food: do not store moist food in the cooking
compartment when it is closed for prolonged periods This will
damage the enamel.
ʋFruit 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.
ʋCooling 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.
ʋVery 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.
ʋAppliance 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.
ʋInserting accessories: depending on the appliance model,
accessories can scratch the door panel when closing the
appliance door. Always insert the accessories into the
cooking compartment as far as they will go.
ʋCarrying 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.
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
ʋYour accessories
ʋthe correct way to insert the accessories into the cooking
compartment
ʋthe shelf positions
ʋthe 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
ʋthat the lug (a) is pointing downwards
ʋthat the lug (a) is in the rear part of the wire rack
When inserting the baking tray or the universal pan, check
ʋthat the lug (a) is in the rear part of the of the accessory
ʋthat the sloping edge of the accessory faces towards the
appliance door when it is inserted
Shelf positions
The cooking compartment has three shelf positions. The shelf
positions are counted from the bottom up. They are marked in
the cooking compartment.
Note: For the CircoTherm operating mode, do not use shelf
position 2. 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. You will find a comprehensive
range of products for your appliance in our brochures and on
our website.
