Display

The value that can be set at the present time or that is elapsing will be shown in large digits on the display.

To use the individual time-setting options, tap the button several times.If there is a red bar above or below a symbol, this means that the value being shown in large digits on the display refers to the function that this symbol represents.

Types of heating and functions

Use the function selector to set the types of heating and other functions.

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

Note: Not all heating functions and other functions are available for both ovens. To find out which ones are available, see the symbols on the controls.

Other functions

Your new oven has yet more functions; see below for a brief description of these.

Temperature

Use the temperature selector to set the temperature in the cooking compartment. You can also use it to select the settings for other functions.

When cooking at very high temperatures, the appliance lowers the temperature slightly after an extended period.

Temperature display for the bottom cooking compartment

The line at the bottom of the display turns red in three increments, from left to right, as the cooking compartment continues to heat up.

When you are preheating the appliance, the optimal time to place your food in the cooking compartment is as soon as all three sections of the line have turned red.

When the appliance is in operation, one of the red sections of the line goes out during the heating phases.

Note: Due to thermal inertia, the actual temperature inside the cooking compartment may differ slightly from the temperature that is displayed.

Cooking compartment

Various functions in the cooking compartment make your appliance easier to use. For example, the cooking compartment is well lit and a cooling fan prevents the appliance from overheating.

Opening the appliance door

If you open the appliance door when the appliance is in operation, the appliance will continue to operate as before.

Interior lighting

With most heating functions and other functions, the interior lighting in the cooking compartment will remain lit while the oven is in operation. When the function selector is turned to bring operation to an end, the lighting will go out.

By turning the function selector to the interior lighting setting, you can switch on the lighting without heating the oven. This makes it easier to clean your appliance, for example.

Cooling fan

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

Caution! Do not cover the ventilation slots. Otherwise, the appliance may overheat.

So that the cooking compartment cools down more quickly after operation, the cooling fan continues to run for a certain period afterwards.

Accessories

Your appliance is accompanied by a range of accessories. Here, you can find an overview of the accessories included and information on how to use them correctly.

Control accessories

The accessories supplied may differ depending on the appliance model.

Only use original accessories. They are specially adapted for your appliance.

You can buy accessories from the after-sales service, from specialist retailers or online.

Note: The accessories may deform when they become hot. This does not affect their function. Once they have cooled down again, they regain their original shape.

Inserting accessories

The shelf positions are counted from the bottom up.

The bottom cooking compartment

The bottom cooking compartment has five shelf positions.

Depending on the appliance model, your cooking compartment will have one or more pull-out rails. There are

• Fixed pull-out rails that cannot be removed
• Clip-on pull-out rails, which can be removed and fitted to a different level as required

Always insert accessories between the two guide rods for the shelf position.

Accessories can be pulled out approximately halfway without tipping. You can use the pull-out rails to pull the accessories out further.

Make sure that the accessory is placed behind the lug a on the pull-out rail.

Example in the picture: Universal pan

The pull-out rails lock in place when they are fully pulled out. This makes it easy to place the accessories in position. To unlock the pull-out rails, use a little force to push them back into the cooking compartment.

Notes

• Make sure that you always insert the accessories into the cooking compartment the right way round.
• Always insert the accessories fully into the cooking compartment so that they do not touch the appliance door.
• Take any accessories that you will not be using out of the cooking compartment.
• The shelf supports can be taken out of the cooking compartment for cleaning.

The top cooking compartment

The top cooking compartment has three shelf positions.

Always insert accessories between the two guide rods for the shelf position.

Accessories can be pulled out approximately halfway without tipping.

Notes

• Make sure that you always insert the accessories into the cooking compartment the right way round.
• Always insert the accessories fully into the cooking compartment so that they do not touch the appliance door.
• Take any accessories that you will not be using out of the cooking compartment.

Locking function

The accessories can be pulled out approximately halfway until they lock in place. The locking function prevents the accessories from tilting when they are pulled out. The accessories must be inserted into the cooking compartment correctly for the tilt protection to work properly.

When inserting the wire rack, ensure that lug a is at the rear and is facing downwards. The open side must be facing the appliance door and the outer rail must be facing downwards .

When inserting baking trays, ensure that lug a is at the rear and is facing downwards. The sloping edge of the accessory b must be facing towards the appliance door.

Example in the picture: Universal pan

Combining accessories

You can insert the wire rack and the universal pan at the same time to catch drops of liquid.

When inserting the wire rack, ensure that both spacers a are at the rear edge. When inserting the universal pan, the wire rack is on top of the upper guide rod of the shelf position.

Example in the picture: Universal pan

With good care and cleaning, your appliance will retain its appearance and remain fully functioning for a long time to come. We will explain here how you should correctly care for and clean your appliance.

Suitable cleaning agents

To ensure that the different surfaces are not damaged by using the wrong cleaning agent, observe the information in the table. Depending on the appliance model, not all of the areas listed may be on/in your appliance.

Caution! Risk of surface damage

Do not use:

• Harsh or abrasive cleaning agents,
• Cleaning agents with a high alcohol content,
• Hard scouring pads or cleaning sponges,
• High-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners,
• Special cleaners for cleaning the appliance while it is hot.

Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.

Tip: Highly recommended cleaning and care products can be purchased through the after-sales service. Observe the respective manufacturer's instructions.

Warning – Risk of burns! The appliance becomes very hot. Never touch the interior surfaces of the cooking compartment or the heating elements. Always allow the appliance to cool down. Keep children at a safe distance.

Notes

• Slight differences in colour on the front of the appliance are caused by the use of different materials, such as glass, plastic and metal.
• Shadows on the door panels, which look like streaks, are caused by reflections made by the interior lighting.
• Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures.This can cause some slight colour variation. 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 does not impair the anti-corrosion protection.

Surfaces in the cooking compartment

Enamel surfaces are smooth. Self-cleaning surfaces are rough.

Cleaning enamel surfaces

Clean the smooth enamel surfaces with a dish cloth and hot soapy water or a vinegar solution. Then dry them with a soft cloth.

Soften baked-on food remnants with a damp cloth and soapy water. Use stainless steel wire wool or oven cleaner to remove stubborn dirt.

Caution! Never use oven cleaner in the cooking compartment when it is still warm. This may damage the enamel. Remove all food remnants from the cooking compartment and the appliance door before you next heat up the appliance.

Leave the cooking compartment open to dry after cleaning it.

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, matt 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 patches appear, they can be cleaned by running a program specifically to heat them up.

Caution! Do not use oven cleaner on the 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.

Bottom oven

Remove the shelf supports, pull-out rails, accessories and cookware from the cooking compartment beforehand. Thoroughly clean the smooth enamel surfaces in the cooking compartment, the inside of the appliance door and the glass cover on the interior lighting.

1. Set the Hot air heating function for the bottom oven.
2. Set the maximum temperature.
3. Start the program and leave it to run for at least 1 hour.

This will regenerate the ceramic coating.

Once the cooking compartment has cooled down, remove any brown or whitish remnants or residues with water and a soft sponge.

Note: When the appliance is running, reddish spots form on the surfaces. This is not rust, but food remnants. These spots are not harmful to health and do not impair the cleaning ability of the self-cleaning surfaces.

Top oven

Refer to the information in the relevant section. "Cleaning function" on page 21

Keeping the appliance clean

Always keep the appliance clean and remove dirt immediately so that stubborn deposits of dirt do not build up.

Warning – Risk of fire! Loose food remnants, fat and meat juices may catch fire. Before using the appliance, remove the worst of the food remnants from the cooking compartment, heating elements and accessories.

Tips

• 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.

Cleaning function

The self-cleaning surfaces in the cooking compartment are cleaned with the “EcoClean” cleaning function.

The self-cleaning surfaces (back panel, ceiling panel and side panels) are coated with a porous, matt ceramic material. This coating absorbs and breaks down splashes from baking, roasting and grilling while the oven is in operation. If the surfaces no longer clean themselves adequately and dark patches appear, the surfaces can be cleaned by the cleaning function.

Prior to initiating the cleaning function

Remove shelves, rails, accessories and ovenware from the cooking compartment.

Cleaning the cooking compartment floor and the inside of the appliance door

Remove the worst dirt from the cooking compartment floor, the inside of the appliance door and the interior lighting. Otherwise, patches will appear that can no longer be removed.

Caution! Do not use oven cleaner on the self-cleaning surfaces. This will damage the surfaces. If oven cleaner does come into contact with these surfaces, dab it off immediately with water and a sponge cloth. Please to not rub or use any abrasive cleaning materials.

Warning – Risk of burns!
