Assembly Instructions
❑For the installer and kitchen expert 22
❑Installation of the built-in oven 23
❑The appliance should only be used for
the preparation of food.
❑The surfaces of heating and cooking
appliances get hot during operation.
The interior oven walls and the heating
elements get extremely hot. Always
keep children away from the appliance.
❑Never leave the appliance unattended
when cooking with fat or oil. They can
catch fire if overheated.
❑Clean the oven regularly.
Fatty or oily remants could ignite when
the oven is switched on.
❑In the case of a defect, switch off at the
mains.
❑Do not store combustible items in the
oven. They could ignite if the oven is
switched on accidentally.
❑Do not clean the oven with steam or
high-pressure cleaners.
❑Make sure that the power cord does not
get caught in the hot oven door. The
plastic insulation could melt.
❑If using hot air ‰, do not place
greaseproof paper loosely in the oven
(e.g. when heating the oven).
The hot-air fan could draw in the paper
which may damage the heater and fan.
❑Do not insert a baking sheet at the
bottom of the oven, or cover it with
aluminium foil, because a heat build-up
would result. Roasting and baking times
would change, and the enamel would be
damaged.
❑Never pour water directly into the hot
oven. Damage to the enamel could result.
❑Dripping juices may leave spots on the
oven lining. Always place a baking tray
below to prevent this form happening.
❑Never stand or sit on the open oven door.
❑The oven door must close properly. Keep
the door sealing surfaces clean.

Definition of Oven Features
Hot air grilling —————————— ˆ
With hot air grilling the fan and the grill
elements are activated alternatively.
The heat generated by the grill element is
evenly distributed in the oven cavity by the
fan. This method of cooking gives an effect
similar to spit roasting (rotisserie)
Advantages:
–particularly suitable for pork and poultry
when a crisp skin is desired.
Radiant grilling ————————— x
The food being cooked is exposed to heat
radiation from the heating element at the
top of the oven cavity.
Advantages:
–particularly suitable for flat, small cuts of
meat, i.e., steaks and sausages, fish,
vegetables and toast.
Main oven
Gentle defrosting————————— k
Advantages:
Recommended for delicate pastries only
(i.e., whipped-cream gateaus).
Conventional cooking —————— t
(top and bottom heat)
The food being cooked is exposed to heat
radiation from heating elements located at
the top and bottom of the oven cavity.
Cooking is possible on one shelf level only.
Advantages:
–baking rich fruit cake, pizza, quiche.
Hot air ————————————— ‰
Advantages of hot air:
–low soiling of oven interior
–cooking on up to 3 shelf levels at once
is possible
–shorter preheating times
