Getting to know your appliance

In this chapter, we will explain the indicators and controls. You will also find out about the various functions of your appliance.

Note: Depending on the appliance model, individual details and colours may differ.

Control panel

You can set your appliance's various functions on the control panel. Below, you will see an overview of the control panel and the layout of the controls.

Buttons and display

The buttons are touch keys with sensors underneath. Simply touch a symbol to select the function.

The display shows symbols for active functions and the time-setting options.

Function selector

Use the function selector to set the heating function or other functions.

You can turn the function selector clockwise or anti-clockwise from the "Off" position.

Temperature selector

Use the temperature selector to set the temperature for the heating function or select the setting for other functions.

You can also turn the temperature selector clockwise or anti-clockwise. It does not have an "Off" position.

Note: On some appliances, the control knobs can be pushed in. To push the control knob in and engage it or to release it again, turn it to the "Off" position.

Buttons and display

You can use the buttons to set various additional functions on your appliance. You will be able to see the values for these on the display.

Display

The cooking compartment temperature you set using the temperature selector will be shown on the display.

In addition, you can read the settings for the time-setting options. 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, touch 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: For each heating function, the appliance specifies a default temperature or level. You can accept this value or change it in the appropriate area.

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. It can also be used to select the grill and cleaning settings, for example.

The settings will appear on the display.

Notes

• The temperature can be set in 1 degree increments up to 100 °C, and in 5 degree increments thereafter.
• When cooking at very high temperatures, the appliance lowers the temperature slightly after an extended period.

Temperature indicator

The line at the bottom of the display turns red from left to right 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.

Residual heat

When the appliance is switched off, the temperature indicator shows the residual heat in the cooking compartment. The lower the temperature drops, the shorter the line.

Notes

• The temperature indicator only shows the increasing temperature for heating functions for which a temperature is set. For grill settings, for example, the indicator shows a full line from the beginning.
• If the temperature in the cooking compartment is too high when the appliance is started, will appear on the display for some heating functions. Switch off the appliance and allow it to cool down before switching it back on again.
• 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. Once the oven has finished cooking the food, the lighting will go out.

By pressing the button for the interior lighting, 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 cooking compartment has five shelf positions. The shelf positions are counted from the bottom up.

In some appliances, the highest shelf position is marked on the cooking compartment by the grill symbol.

Depending on the appliance model, your cooking compartment will have one or more pull-out rails or one or two clip-on pull-out rails.The pull-out rails are fixed in place and cannot be removed.The clip-on pull-out rails can be fitted as required to levels that are not currently being used.

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

Caution!

If you are using the two narrow universal pans, make sure that they are hooked over the lugs a on the left and right.

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. → Page 25

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 the lug a is at the rear and is facing downwards. The open side must be facing the appliance door and the curvature must be at the bottom (i.e.).

When inserting baking trays, make sure that the 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

Caution!

The tilt protection on the two narrow universal pans can be found at the middle a of each of these pans.When inserting the universal pans, make sure that the holding lip b is facing the appliance door.

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

Example in the picture: Universal pan

Trouble shooting

If a fault occurs, there is often a simple explanation.

Before calling the after-sales service, please refer to the fault table and attempt to correct the fault yourself.

Rectifying faults yourself

You can often easily rectify technical faults with the appliance yourself.

If a dish does not turn out exactly as you wanted, you can find useful cooking tips and instructions at the end of this instruction manual. → "Tested for you in our cooking studio" on page 33

Error messages on the display

If an error message with "" appears on the display, e.g. , touch the button. This will reset the error message. Reset the time, if necessary.

If the fault was a one-off, you can continue to use your appliance as normal. If the error message appears again, call our after-sales service and quote the exact error message and the E no. of your appliance. → "Customer service" on page 29

Maximum operating time

If you do not change the settings on your appliance for several hours, the appliance will stop heating automatically. This prevents unintentional continuous operation.
