ACCESSORIES
GENERAL
THERE ARE a number of accessories available on the market.
Before you buy, ensure they are oven proof
BAKING PLATE
USE THE BAKING PLATE when
cooking or baking.
GLASS DRIP TRAY
USE THE GLASS DRIP TRAY beneath the wire shelf.
It may also be used as a
cooking utensil or as a
baking plate.
The Glass Drip Tray is used
to collect the drip-
ping juices and
food particles that
otherwise would stain and
soil the interior of the oven.
Avoid placing vessels di-
rectly on the oven
bottom.
WIRE SHELF
THE WIRE SHELF allows hot
air circulation around
the food and can be
placed with the high end
up or down to adjust
the distance from the grill
element. When you put food directly on the
Wire shelf, place the Glass drip tray under it.
START PROTECTION / CHILD LOCK

ing the Back and OK buttons simulta-
neously for 5 seconds until the key
symbol is displayed. No buttons or
knobs will function when this safety fea-
ture is activated.
COOLING DOWN
WHEN AFUNCTION IS FINISHED, the oven may car-
ry out a cooling procedure. This is normal and
switches off automatically when finished.
THE COOLING PROCEDURE can be interrupted with-
out any harm to the oven by opening the door.

STAND BY
THE OVEN IS IN “STAND BY” when the 24 hour clock
is displayed. The displaying of the clock can be
turned off by turning the function knob to the
zero position and pressing the Back button.
THE CLOCK WILL RETURN as soon as any but-
ton or knobs are operated or simply by
pressing the Back button again.
FUNCTION CHANGE PROTECTION
IFTHE MULTIFUNCTION KNOB is rotated e.g. switch-
ing to another function, during cooking, the
oven will ask you to confirm this change be-
fore switching to the new function. This is to
prevent accidental function change during the
cooking procedure.
THE OVEN WILL CONTINUE COOKING with the current
settings until the change is confirmed. If the
multifunction knob rotation was accidental,
simply return the knob to it’s previous position
and the display will once again show the cur-
rent cooking settings.
SPECIAL COOKING INTERRUPTION
ITIS NORMAL to check, stir or turn food during
cooking. However, for foods that requires in-
sertion into a cold oven or cooking on very
low operating temperature, should not be in-
terrupted at all. This because the oven will au-
tomatically restart the cooking process from
start and it will wait until the temperature in
the oven has returned to room temperature
before it starts cooking again. If the cooking
must be interrupted anyway you should re-
start the cooking process using the Conven-
tional function instead.
