• Do not place any accessories, greaseproof paper or foil of any kind on the cooking compartment floor.
• Only place cookware on the cooking compartment floor if a temperature above 50 °C has been set.
• When the cooking compartment is hot, any water inside it will create steam. The change in temperature may cause damage.
• Never pour water into the cooking compartment when it is still hot.
• Never place cookware containing water on the cooking compartment floor.
• The prolonged presence of moisture in the cooking compartment leads to corrosion.
• Allow the cooking compartment to dry after use.
• Do not keep moist food in the cooking compartment for a long time with the door closed.
• Do not store food in the cooking compartment.
• Leaving the appliance to cool down with the door open will damage the front of neighboring kitchen units over time.
• Always allow the cooking compartment to cool down with the door closed after cooking at high temperatures.
• Take care not to trap anything in the appliance door.
• Only leave the cooking compartment to dry with the door open if a lot of moisture was produced during operation.
• Fruit juice dripping from the baking tray leaves stains that cannot be removed.
• When baking very juicy fruit flans, do not pack too much on the baking tray.
• If possible, use the deeper universal pan.
• Using oven cleaner in a hot cooking compartment damages the enamel.
• Never use oven cleaner in the cooking compartment when it is still warm.
• Remove all food remnants from the cooking compartment and the appliance door before you next heat up the appliance.
• If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no longer close properly during operation. This may damage the front of adjacent kitchen units.

Environmental protection and saving energy

• Disposing of packaging
  The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.

  • Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.

• Saving energy
  If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less power. Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the recommended settings tell you to do so.

  • Not preheating the appliance can reduce the energy used by up to 20%.
  • Use dark-colored, black-coated or enameled baking tins.
  • These types of baking tin absorb the heat particularly well.
  • Open the appliance door as little as possible during operation.
  • This maintains the temperature in the cooking compartment and eliminates the need for the appliance to reheat.
  • When baking multiple dishes, do so in succession or in parallel.
  • The cooking compartment is heated after baking the first dish. This reduces the baking time for the second cake.
  • If the cooking time is relatively long, you can switch the appliance off 10 minutes before the cooking time ends.
  • There will be enough residual heat to finish cooking the dish.
  • Remove any accessories that are not being used from the cooking compartment.
  • Accessories that are not being used do not need to be heated.
  • Allow frozen food to defrost before cooking.
  • This saves the energy that would otherwise be required to defrost it.
  • Note: The appliance requires:
  • A maximum of 1 W when the appliance is in operation with the display switched on
  • A maximum of 0.5 W when the appliance is in operation with the display switched off

Familiarising yourself with your appliance

Control panel
You can use the control panel to configure all functions of your appliance and to obtain information about the operating status.
Note: On certain models, specific details such as color and shape may differ from those pictured.

1. Buttons
   The buttons on the left- and right-hand side of the control panel have a pressure point. Pressing a button will execute its function. On appliances without a stainless steel front, the buttons are also touch-sensitive.

2. Touch fields
   Touch fields are touch-sensitive surfaces. To select a function, simply press lightly on the relevant field.

3. Control ring
   The control ring can be turned infinitely in either direction. Press down lightly on the control ring and move it in the direction you require.

4. Display
   The display shows the current settings, options or relevant information.

Buttons
Use the buttons on the left- and right-hand side of the control panel to switch your device or the operating mode on and off.

Touch fields
Use the touch fields to select different functions directly. The touch fields on the outside of the control panel are designed for general functions; the touch fields on the inside of the control panel are for the cooking mode. The touch field for the function that is currently selected lights up red.

Control ring
You can use the control ring to change the setting values that are shown in the display. If you have reached the maximum value for setting values, such as the temperature, minimum or maximum value, this value remains in the display. If required, use the control ring to turn the value back again. For lists, e.g. the types of heating, the first value starts again after the last value.

Display
The display shows the current setting values on different levels.

• Value in the foreground
  The value in the foreground is highlighted in white. You can use the control ring to change the value directly. Once the operation has started, the temperature or level is displayed in the foreground.

• Value in the background
  Values in the background are displayed in grey. To change the value using the control ring, select the required function in advance.

• Enlargement
  As long as you use the control ring to change a value, only this value will be displayed as enlarged.

Display ring
The display ring is located around the outside of the display.

• Position indicator
  If you change a value, the display ring shows you where you are in the selection list. The display ring may be continuous or divided into segments depending on the settings area and the length of the selection list.

• Progress indicator
  During operation, the display ring displays the progress and turns red at second-long intervals. As the cooking time counts down, one segment of the display ring disappears every second.

Temperature display
The heating line and the residual heat indicator show you the temperature in the cooking compartment. Due to thermal inertia, the temperature that is displayed may differ slightly from the actual temperature inside the cooking compartment.

• Heating line
  Once the operation has started, the white line below the temperature turns red as the cooking compartment heats up. When you are preheating the appliance, the optimal time to place your food in the cooking compartment is as soon as the entire line has turned red. With set levels such as grill settings, the heating line turns red immediately.

• Residual heat indicator
  When the appliance is switched off, the display ring shows the residual heat in the cooking compartment. As the residual heat dissipates, the display ring gets darker before eventually disappearing completely.

Cooking compartment
The functions in the cooking compartment make your appliance easier to use.

• Shelf supports
  The rails in the cooking compartment enable you to place accessories at different heights. Your appliance has five shelf positions. The shelf positions are numbered from bottom to top. You can remove the rails, e.g. for cleaning.

• Self-cleaning surfaces
  The self-cleaning surfaces in the cooking compartment are coated with a porous, matt ceramic layer and have a rough surface. When the appliance is in operation, the self-cleaning surfaces absorb splashes from roast-ing or grilling and break them down.
  The following surfaces are self-cleaning:

  • Back wall
  • Ceiling
  • Side walls
    Use the cleaning function regularly to help retain the cleaning ability of the self-cleaning surfaces and prevent damage.

• Lighting
  One or more oven lights illuminate the cooking compartment. When you open the appliance door, the light in the cooking compartment switches on. If the appliance door remains open for longer than 15 minutes, the light switches off again. For most operating modes, the lighting is switched on during operation. The lighting switches off again when the operation ends.

Cooling fan
The cooling fan switches on and off depending on the appliance’s temperature. The hot air escapes above the door.
ATTENTION! Do not cover the ventilation slot above the appliance door. The appliance overheats.

• Ensure that the ventilation slots are unobstructed.

To ensure that the appliance cools down more quickly after operation, the cooling fan continues to run for a certain period afterward.

Appliance door
If you open the appliance door during operation, the operation stops. When you close the appliance door, the operation continues automatically.

Operating modes

This is where you can find an overview of your appliance’s operating modes and main functions.

Types of heating
To ensure that you always use the right type of heating to cook your food, we explain the differences and applications below. The symbols for each type of heating help you to remember them.

When you select a type of heating, the appliance suggests a suitable temperature or setting. You can use these values or change them within the specified range. For temperature settings above 275 °C and grill setting 3, the appliance reduces the temperature to approx. 275 °C or grill setting 1 after approx. 40 minutes.

Accessories

Use original accessories. These have been made especially for your appliance.
Note: Accessories may become deformed if they get hot. Deformation has no effect on function. As the accessory cools down, it will regain its original shape.
The accessories supplied may differ depending on the appliance model.

Locking function
The locking function prevents the accessories from tilting when they are pulled out.
You can pull out the accessories approximately halfway without them tipping. The accessories must be inserted into the cooking compartment correctly for the tilt protection to work properly.

Sliding accessories into the cooking
compartment
Always slide the accessory into the cooking compartment the right way round. This is the only way to ensure that accessories can be pulled out approximately halfway without tipping.

1. Turn the accessories so that the notch ​⁠ is at the rear and is facing downwards.
2. Insert the accessory between the two guide rods for a shelf position.
3. Push the accessory all the way in, making sure that it does not touch the appliance door.

Take any accessories that you will not be using out of the cooking compartment while the appliance is in operation.

Combining accessories
You can combine the wire rack with the universal pan to catch any liquid that drips down.

1. Place the wire rack on the universal pan so that both spacers ​⁠ are on the rear edge of the universal pan.
2. Insert the universal pan between the two guide rods for a shelf position. In so doing, the wire rack is on top of the upper guide rod.

How it works

Here, you can find the ideal settings for various types of food as well as the best accessories and cookware. We have perfectly tailored these recommendations to your appliance.

General cooking tips
Please take note of the following information when cooking all types of food.

• The temperature and cooking time depend on the amount of food and the recipe. Settings ranges are specified for this reason. Try using the lower values to start with.
• The setting values apply to food placed in the cooking compartment while the cooking compartment is still cold. Do not place accessories into the cooking compartment until it has finished preheating.
• Remove any accessories that are not being used from the cooking compartment.

Baking tips

• Dark-coloured metal baking tins are most suitable for baking cakes, bread and other baked goods.
• Use wide, shallow cookware for bakes and gratins. Food takes longer to cook in deep, narrow cookware and it browns more on top.
• If you are cooking bakes directly in the universal pan, place the universal pan into the cooking compartment at level 2.
• The setting values for bread dough apply to both dough placed on a baking tray and dough placed in a loaf tin.

ATTENTION!
When the cooking compartment is hot, any water inside it will create steam. The change in temperature may cause damage.

• Never pour water into the cooking compartment when it is still hot.
• Never place cookware containing water on the cooking compartment floor.

Shelf positions
If you are using the 4D hot air heating function, you can choose between shelf positions 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Use the 4D hot air heating function.
Note: Items that are placed in the appliance on baking trays or in baking tins/dishes at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.

Roasting, braising and grilling tips

• The recommended settings are for fridge-temperature food and unstuffed, oven-ready poultry.
• Place the poultry onto the cookware breast-side or skin-side down.
• Turn roasting joints, grilled items or whole fish after approx. ½ to ⅔ of the specified time.

Roasting on the wire rack
Food roasted on the wire rack will become very crispy on all sides. You can roast large poultry, for example, or multiple individual pieces at the same time.

• Roast pieces of a similar weight and thickness. The grilled food will brown evenly and will remain succulent and juicy.
• Place the food to be roasted directly on the wire rack.
• To catch any liquids that drip down, place the universal pan, with the wire rack inside it, into the cooking compartment at the specified shelf height.
• Add up to ½ litre of water to the universal pan, depending on the size and type of food that you want to roast.

You can make a sauce from the juices that are collected. This also means that less smoke is produced and the cooking compartment does not become as dirty.

Roasting in cookware
If you cover the cookware when you cook your food, this will keep the cooking compartment cleaner.

• General information about roasting in cookware
  • Use heat-resistant, ovenproof cookware.
  • Place the cookware on the wire rack.
  • Glass cookware is best.
  • Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your roasting dishes.
• Roasting in uncovered cookware
  • Use a deep roasting dish.
  • If you do not have any suitable cookware, you can use the universal pan.
• Roasting in covered cookware
  • Use a suitable lid that seals well.
  • When roasting meat, there should be at least 3 cm between the food and the lid. The meat may expand.

WARNING ‒ Risk of scalding!
Very hot steam may escape when the lid is opened after cooking. Steam may not be visible, depending on the temperature.

• Lift the lid in such a way that the hot steam can escape away from you.
• Keep children away from the appliance.

Grilling
Grill food if you want it to be crispy.

• When grilling several food items, choose pieces that are of a similar weight and thickness. The grilled food will brown evenly and will remain succulent and juicy.
• Place the food to be grilled directly onto the wire rack.
• To catch any liquids that drip down, place the universal pan into the cooking compartment at least one level below the wire rack.

Notes

• The grill element switches on and off continuously. This is normal. The grill setting that you use determines how frequently this occurs.
• Smoke may be produced when grilling.

Cooking frozen products

• Do not use heavily frosted frozen products.
• Remove any ice.
• Some frozen products may be unevenly pre-baked. Uneven browning may remain even after baking.

Cooking ready meals

• Take ready meals out of the packaging.
• If you are warming or cooking a ready meal in cookware, make sure that the cookware is heat-resistant.
