Initial start-up
6 / 72
Please read the manual carefully prior to initial start-up.
During initial start-up of your new appliance, you will be requested to start an automatic one-
off self-test. This self-test takes about 45 minutes and is used to adapt the appliance to the
specific environmental conditions. Please note the following:
- For the self-test to be carried out, all the packaging materials must be have been removed
from the appliance; check the grid shelves and the air baffle for a correct fit.
- The appliance must be connected in accordance with the installation instructions.
- For appliance sizes 6 x 2/3, 6 x 1/1, 10 x 1/1, 6 x 2/1 and 10 x 2/1 GN place a flat GN
container with the opening facing downwards into the centre of the grid shelves.
- For the appliance size 20 x 1/1 and 20 x 2/1 GN place two GN containers in the mobile
oven rack. Place one flat GN container with the opening facing downwards in the centre
in front of both the upper and lower fan wheel.
- For further details please follow the instructions shown on the display and the installation
manual.
Risk of fire!
Remove the packaging material, starter kit as well as grids and containers.

The cooking chamber door must not be opened during the self-test. Opening the cooking
chamber door will lead to failure of the self-test. Restart the self-test by switching the appliance
off. Always allow a hot appliance to cool down first. If the test is interrupted you will be
requested next day by the appliance to start the self-test again.

Safety instructions and liability
12 / 72
Liability
Installations and repairs that are not carried out by authorised specialists or using original
spare parts, and any technical modification that is not approved by the manufacturer will void
the manufacturer’s warranty and product liability.

Care, inspection, maintenance and repair
13 / 72
In order to retain the high quality of the stainless steel, for hygienic reasons and to avoid
interferences to operation, the appliance must be cleaned daily or when prompted to clean.
Follow the instructions in the "Efficient CareControl" section.
Constant operation at high cooking chamber temperatures (≥ 260°C), the use of high
browning levels (browning 4/5) and preparation of food with high fat and gelatin content can
subject the cooking chamber seal to faster wear.
Cleaning the cooking chamber seal daily with a non-abrasive rinsing agent will prolong the
service life.
Warning!
If the appliance is not cleaned or is not cleaned well enough, deposits of grease or
food residues in the cooking chamber may catch fire - Risk of fire.
-If fat deposits and/or food waste in the cooking chamber ignite, shut down the appliance
immediately and keep the cooking chamber door closed to put out the fire! If further
extinguishing is required, disconnect the appliance from the mains and use a fire
extinguisher (do not use water to extinguish a fat fire!).
-To avoid corrosion in the cooking chamber, your appliance must be cleaned every day,
even if it is only operated in “Moist Heat” (steaming) mode.
-Apply vegetable oil or grease to the inside of the cooking chamber at regular intervals
(every 2 weeks or so) to prevent corrosion.
-Do not use a high pressure cleaner, steam cleaner or a direct water jet to clean the
appliance. Observe the protection class IPx5.
-Do not treat the appliance with acids or expose to acid fumes – this will damage the
passivated coating of the nickel-chromium steel and the appliances might discolour.
-To clean the exterior panelling, only use mild household cleaning agents such as washing-
up liquid on a damp soft cloth. Corrosive or irritating substances must not be used.
-Only use cleaning agents from the appliance manufacturer. Cleaning agents from other
manufacturers can damage the appliance. Damage to a device that has been caused by
using different cleaning and care products than those recommended by the manufacturer
is not covered under warranty.
-Do not use scouring products or abrasive cleaning agents.

Notes on using your appliance
20 / 72
Working with the core temperature probe
For information about working with the 3 core temperature sensor option, please read the
iLevelControl section.
Caution!
The core temperature probe and its positioning aid may both be hot – risk of burns!
Insert the core temperature
probe into the thickest point
of your cooking product.
You must insert the needle
through the middle of
the food (see application
manual).
Use the positioning aid
if the core temperature
probe could fall out of the
food(for instance if the food
to be cooked is of a soft
consistency or not very
thick).
For Finishing ® with the
plate rack, insert the core
temperature probe into the
ceramic tube on the mobile
plate rack.
No externally attachable core temperature probes should be placed in the cooking chamber
through the cooking chamber wall during cleaning. These sensors must not be cleaned with the
chamber! This can cause leaks during cleaning.
