2.4 Accessories
The baking trays and wire shelves are inserted into the oven between the two
rails of a shelf runner.
The wire shelves have non-tip safety notches which prevent them being pulled
right out when they only need to be partially pulled out. The wire shelves can
then only be taken out of the oven by raising them upwards and then pulling
them out.
Do not use knives or cutting wheels on the enamelled baking trays.
This causes visible damage.
Original TopClean baking tray
• Serves as a baking tin for flans and biscuits.
• Use together with the wire shelf as a drip tray.
• If not fully covered by the baking, the shape of the
original baking tray can become distorted during
baking. This is normal. As it cools down, it will go
back to its original form.
➤Always push the «sloped» side 1of the original
baking back as far as it will go.
➤The original baking tray is to be used the normal
way round – not upside down.
