Preventing material damage

General

ATTENTION!

Alcoholic vapors may catch fire in the hot cooking compartment and cause permanent damage to the appliance. The appliance door may spring open due to an explosion and it may fall off. The door panels may shatter and fragment. Due to the resulting negative pressure, the cooking compartment may become considerably deformed inwards.

• Do not heat spirits (≥ 15% vol.) when undiluted (e.g. for marinating or pouring over food).
  Objects on the cooking compartment floor at over 50 °C will cause heat to build up. The baking and roasting times will no longer be correct and the enamel will be damaged.

• 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 under 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.

• Always wipe away the condensation after cooking. Always allow the cooking compartment to cool down with the door closed after cooking at high temperatures.

• 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.

• Take care not to trap anything in the appliance door.
  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.

• Keep the seal clean at all times.

• Never operate the appliance if the seal is damaged or missing. Sitting or placing objects on the appliance door may damage it.

• Do not place, hang or support objects on the appliance door.

• Do not place cookware or accessories on the appliance door. With certain models, accessories may scratch the door pane when closing the appliance door.

• Always push accessories fully into the cooking compartment.
  If aluminium foil comes into contact with the door pane, it could cause permanent discolouration.

• Do not allow aluminium foil in the cooking compartment to come into contact with the door pane.

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 energy.

Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the recommended settings tell you to do so.

→ “How it works”, Page 37

• Not preheating the appliance can reduce the energy used by up to 20%. Use dark-coloured, black-coated or enamelled 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 subsequent cakes.
  For longer cooking times, you can switch the appliance off 10 minutes before the cooking time ends.

• There is sufficient 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.

Familiarizing yourself with your appliance

You can use the time selector to switch on the interior lighting or use this as a short-term timer.

Types of heating and functions

To ensure that you always use the right type of heating to cook your food, we have explained the differences and applications below.

Symbol| Type of heating or function| Temperature or setting| Use
---|---|---|---
| Bottom heating| 130-260 °C| Prepare cakes and baked items, bakes, poultry and lean joints.
To switch on the bottom heating, set the temperature.
The heat is emitted from below
| Full-surface grill| | Grill flat items, such as steak, sausages or toast and gratinate.
The entire area below the grill element becomes hot.
| nterior lighting| | Switch the interior lighting on.

Cooking compartment

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

Shelf positions

The cooking compartment has 5 shelf positions. Always insert the accessory as far as it will go so that the accessory does not touch the door panel. Slide the accessory into the cooking compartment correctly.

Interior lighting

When you open the appliance door, the interior lighting switches on.

In most operating modes, the interior lighting switches on as soon as operation starts. The interior lighting switches off again when operation stops.

Cooling fan

The cooling fan switches on and off as required. The hot air escapes via the appliance door.

ATTENTION!

Covering the ventilation slots will cause the appliance to overheat.

• Do not cover the ventilation slots.

To cool the cooking compartment more quickly after operation, the cooling fan continues to run for a certain period afterwards.

Condensation

This section tells you how condensation is formed, how you can prevent damage, and how you can prevent condensation from forming.

When you are cooking food in the cooking compartment, a lot of steam may form in the cooking compartment. Since your appliance is extremely energy- efficient, only a small amount of heat escapes during operation. Due to the significant differences in temperature between the appliance interior and the external

parts of the appliance, condensation may build up on the appliance door, the control panel or the front panels of adjacent kitchen units. The formation of condensation is a normal physical phenomenon.

In order to prevent damage, wipe away the condensation. If condensation collects in the drip  trough,remove the condensation with a sponge. An overflowing drip trough may damage the fitted unit. Leave the appliance to dry with the door open.

When you preheat the appliance, you reduce the buildup of condensation.
