2 Preventing material damage Preventingmaterialdamage
2.1Oven area
Follow the corresponding instructions when using the oven. ATTENTION! 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 above 50 °C has been set. If aluminium foil comes into contact with the door pane, it could cause permanent discolouration. Do not allow aluminium foil in the cooking compart-
ment to come into contact with the door pane. 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 neighbouring 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 com-
partment 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 or hang objects on the appliance door. Do not place cookware or accessories on the appliance door. If you carry or move the appliance by the handle on the cover or move, the handle may break off and cause damage to the hinges. The handle of the cover is not designed for the weight of the appliance. Do not carry or move the appliance by the handle on the cover. When grilling, due to high temperatures, the baking tray or universal pan may become deformed and damage the enamel coating when they are removed. When grilling, do not insert the baking tray or universal pan higher than level 3. Above shelf position 3, only grill directly on the wire insert.

3 Environmental protection and saving energy Environmentalprotectionandsavingenergy

3.1Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled. Sort the individual components by type and dispose
of them separately.
3.2Saving 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 en-
ergy used by up to 20%.

Use dark-coloured, black-coated or enamelled baking tins. ¡ These types of baking tin absorb the heat particu-
larly well. Open the appliance door as little as possible during operation. ¡ This maintains the temperature in the cooking com-
partment 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.

6

Installation and connectionen

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 re-
quired to defrost it. Note: The appliance requires: ¡ A maximum of 1 W in standby mode with the dis-
play switched on ¡ A maximum of 0.5 W in standby mode with the dis-
play switched off
Saving energy If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less power. Select the cooking zone to match the size of your pan. Centre the cookware on the hob. Use cookware whose base diameter is the same diameter as the hotplate. Tip: Cookware manufacturers often give the upper diameter of the saucepan. It is often larger than the base diameter. ¡ Unsuitable cookware or incompletely covered cook-
ing zones consume a lot of energy.

Cover saucepans with suitable lids. ¡ Cooking without a lid consumes considerably more
energy. Lift lids as infrequently as possible. ¡ When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes.
Use a glass lid. ¡ You can see into the pan through a glass lid
without having to lift it. Use pots and pans with flat bases. ¡ Uneven bases increase energy consumption.
Use cookware that is suitable for the quantity of food. ¡ Large items of cookware containing little food need
more energy to heat up. Cook with only a little water. ¡ The more water that is contained in the cookware,
the more energy is required to heat it up. Turn down to a lower power level early on. ¡ If you use an ongoing power level that is too high,
you will waste energy. ¡ Unused residual heat increases energy consump-
tion.

21.1Cooking tips
Observe this information when preparing food. ¡ The temperature and cooking time depend on the
amount of food and the recipe. Settings ranges are specified for this reason. Select the lower value first.

¡ 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.
¡ Ensure that the accessory slides in the right way round.
21.2Notes on baking
When baking, use the shelf positions indicated.

Baking on one level
Rising pasta/baked goods or tin on the wire rack Flat pasta/baked items or in the baking tray

Shelf position 2
2­3

Baking on two or more levels
Universal pan Baking tray Baking tins on the wire rack: First wire rack Second wire rack

Shelf position 3 1 Shelf position 3 1

Baking on three levels Baking trays Universal pan Baking trays

Shelf position 5 3 1

Notes ¡ When baking on several layers, use hot air. Different
food that is placed in the oven at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time. In such cases, you can remove the cooked food and continue to cook the other baking tray. If necessary, you can change the position and direction of the baking trays.

How it worksen
¡ Position baking tins/dishes either next to one another or offset on different shelves so that they are not directly one above the other in the cooking compartment. You can cut energy use by cooking different items at the same time.
¡ For best results, we recommend using dark-coloured metal baking tins.
21.3Notes on roasting and grilling
The setting values are based on the assumption that unstuffed, chilled, ready- to-roast poultry, meat or fish is placed into a cold cooking compartment. ATTENTION! Acidic food may damage the grid Do not place acidic food, such as fruit or food with
an acidic marinade directly on the pan support. ¡ The larger the poultry, meat or fish, the lower the
temperature and the longer the cooking time. ¡ Turn the poultry, meat or fish after approx. 1/2 to
2/3 of the time listed. ¡ Add a little liquid to the poultry in the cookware.
Cover the base of the cookware with approx. 1­ 2 cm of liquid. ¡ When you turn poultry, ensure that the breast side or skin side is underneath to begin with. ¡ Use tongs to turn the pieces of food you are grilling. If you pierce the meat with a fork, the juices will run out and it will become dry. ¡ Only add salt to steaks once they have been grilled. Salt draws water from the meat. Information for those allergic to nickel In rare cases, small amounts of nickel may pass into the food.
