Environmental protection

Your new appliance is particularly energy-efficient. Here you can find tips on how to save even more energy when using the appliance, and how to dispose of your appliance properly.

Saving energy with your oven

• 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 oven door as infrequently as possible while cooking, baking or roasting.
• It is best to bake more than one cake, one after the other. The oven is still warm. This reduces the baking time for the second cake. You can also place two loaf tins next to each other.
• 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.

Saving energy with the hob

• Use pots and pans with thick, even bases. Uneven bases increase energy consumption.
• The diameter of pan bases should be the same size as the hotplate. In particular, small saucepans on the hotplate cause energy losses. Note that cookware manufacturers often indicate the upper diameter of the saucepan. This is usually bigger than the diameter of the base of the pan.
• Use a small saucepan for small quantities. A larger, less full saucepan requires a lot of energy.
• Always place suitable lids on saucepans. When cooking without a lid, four times the energy is required.
• Cook with only a little water. This will save energy. Vitamins and minerals in vegetables are preserved.
• Switch to a lower heat setting in good time.
• Use the residual heat. For longer cooking times, you can switch the hotplate off 5-10 minutes before the end of the cooking time.

Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic equipment – WEEE).

Care and cleaning

With attentive care and cleaning, your hob and oven will retain its looks and remain in good working order for a long time. We will explain here how you should care for and clean them correctly.

Notes

• Slight differences in the colours on the front of the oven are caused by the use of different materials, such as glass, plastic and metal.
• Shadows on the door panel which look like streaks, are caused by reflections made by the oven light.
• Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures. This can cause some slight colour variations. This is normal and does not affect operation. The edges of thin trays cannot be completely enamelled. As a result, these edges can be rough. This will not impair the anti-corrosion protection.

Risk of electric shock!

Surfaces in the cooking compartment
The back wall and side parts in the cooking compartment are self-cleaning. You can tell this from the rough surface.
The cooking compartment floor and ceiling are enamelled and have smooth surfaces.

Cleaning enamelled surfaces
Clean the smooth enamelled surfaces with a dish cloth and hot soapy water or a vinegar solution. Then dry with a soft cloth. Soften baked-on food residues with a damp cloth and soapy water. Use stainless steel wire wool or oven cleaner to remove stubborn dirt.
Leave the cooking compartment open to dry after cleaning.
Note: Food residues can cause white deposits to form. These are harmless and do not affect how the appliance works. You can remove these residues using lemon juice if required.

Cleaning self-cleaning surfaces
The self-cleaning surfaces are coated with a porous, matte ceramic layer. This coating absorbs and dispels splashes from baking and roasting while the appliance is in operation. If the self-cleaning surfaces no longer clean themselves sufficiently and dark stains appear, they can be cleaned using the cleaning function. To do this, refer to the information in the relevant section.

Caution!
Do not use oven cleaner on self-cleaning surfaces. This will damage the surfaces. If oven cleaner does get onto these surfaces, dab it off immediately using water and a sponge
cloth. Do not rub the surface and do not use abrasive cleaning aids.

Detaching and refitting the rails
The rails can be removed for cleaning. The oven must have cooled down.

Unhooking the rails

1. Hold the bottom of the rail and pull it towards you a little. Pull the extension pins at the bottom of the rail out of the fastening openings (figure A).
2. Then pull the rail upwards and remove it (figure B).

Clean the rails with washing-up liquid and a sponge. Use a brush to remove stubborn dirt deposits.

Hooking in the rails

1. Place the two hooks at the top of the rail into the upper holes.
2. Both hooks must be inserted fully into the upper holes. Now move the rail down slowly and carefully and hook it into the lower holes.
3. Hook both rails into the side walls of the oven.

Keeping the appliance clean
Always keep the appliance clean and remove dirt immediately so that stubborn deposits of dirt do not build up. Clean the cooking compartment after each use. This will ensure that dirt cannot be baked on.
Always remove flecks of limescale, grease, starch and albumin (e.g. egg white) immediately.
Use the universal pan for baking very moist cakes.
Use suitable ovenware for roasting, e.g. a roasting dish.

Appliance door

With good care and cleaning, your appliance will retain its appearance and remain fully functional for a long time to come.
This will tell you how to clean the appliance door.

Detaching and attaching the oven door
For cleaning purposes and to remove the door panels, you can detach the oven door.
The oven door hinges each have a locking lever. When the locking levers are closed (figure A), the oven door is secured in place. It cannot be detached. When the locking levers are open in order to detach the oven door (figure B), the hinges are locked. They cannot snap shut.

Risk of injury!
Whenever the hinges are not locked, they snap shut with great force. Ensure that the locking levers are always fully closed or, when detaching the oven door, fully open.

Detaching the door

1. Open the oven door fully.
2. Fold up the two locking levers on the left and right (figure A).
3. Close the oven door as far as the limit stop. With both hands, grip the door on the left and right-hand sides. Close the door a little further and pull it out (figure B).

Attaching the door
Reattach the oven door in the reverse sequence to removal.

1. When attaching the oven door, ensure that both hinges are inserted straight into the opening (figure A).

2. The notch on the hinge must engage on both sides (figure B).
   

3. Fold back both locking levers (figure C). Close the oven door.
