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.

For temperature settings above 250 °C, the appliance reduces the temperature to approx. 240 °C after approx. 10 minutes. If your appliance has the top/ bottom heating or bottom heating types, this reduction does not take place.

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 main cooking compartment

The main cooking compartment has four 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, make sure that the recess 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.

Cleaning

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

The back wall, ceiling and side parts in the cooking compartment are self-cleaning. You can tell this from the rough surface.

The cooking compartment floor is enamelled and has smooth surfaces.

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, matte 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 stains appear, they can be cleaned using the cleaning function. To do this, refer to the information in the relevant section. "Cleaning function" on page 19

Caution! Do not use oven cleaner on 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.

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

Your appliance is equipped with EcoClean and Base clean. The EcoClean cleaning function is used to clean the self-cleaning surfaces in the cooking compartment. Use Base clean before starting EcoClean or for intermediate cleaning of the cooking compartment floor. Dirt is soaked beforehand using Base clean. It can then be removed more easily.

EcoClean

“EcoClean” mode is used to clean the self-cleaning surfaces in both cooking compartments.

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.

Cleaning recommendation

The appliance records how long the bottom cooking compartment is in operation and which operating mode is used. When cleaning is recommended, will appear on the display when the appliance is switched off. You can dismiss this message by pressing any button except the < button. The prompt will continue to be displayed, however, until the cleaning function has been run in full.

Note: You can completely reset the cleaning recommendation counter by pressing and holding the < button for approximately 4 seconds.
The prompt will not reappear until the appliance has been used a certain number of times again.

Caution! If you do not act on this cleaning recommendation, the self-cleaning surfaces in the cooking compartment may become damaged.

If your appliance is already very dirty, e.g. because you have used it to cook fatty poultry or roasts, or if you notice dark patches on the self-cleaning surfaces, do not wait until this prompt appears before running the cleaning function. The more often or the earlier the appliance is cleaned, the longer the self-cleaning surfaces will retain their ability to clean themselves. You can clean either of the cooking compartments at any time as required using the cleaning function.

Note: The counter for the cleaning recommendation prompt will be reset following a power failure. It is therefore a good idea to run the cleaning function after a power failure has occurred.

Before running 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 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. "Cleaning" on page 17

Warning – Risk of burns!
The appliance becomes very hot on the outside during the cleaning function. Never touch the appliance door. Allow the appliance to cool down. Keep children at a safe distance.
