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 relevant temperature selector to set the temperature in the cooking compartment. It can also be used to select the grill and cleaning settings, for example.

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

Bottom oven

The settings appear in the display.

Note: The temperature can be set in 1 degree increments up to 100 °C, and in 5 degree increments thereafter.

Temperature display

The line at the bottom of the display turns red from left to right as the bottom 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 display shows the residual heat in the bottom cooking compartment. The lower the temperature drops, the shorter the line.

Notes

• The temperature display only shows the increasing temperature for types of heating for which a temperature is set. For grill settings, for example, the it is filled in immediately.
• If the temperature in the cooking compartment is too high when the appliance is started, œ appears in the display for some types of heating. Switch off the appliance and allow it to cool down. Then restart the operation.
• Due to thermal inertia, the temperature that is displayed may differ slightly from the actual temperature inside the cooking compartment.

Top oven

Note: The heating-up indicator only lights up for types of heating for which a temperature is set. It does not light up for grill settings, for example.

Appliance exterior

Appliance interior

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.

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

Use the "Pyrolytic self-cleaning" function to clean the cooking compartment. You can choose from three cleaning cycles.

The dirtier the cooking compartment and the longer the dirt has been there, the more powerful the cleaning cycle should be. It is sufficient to clean the cooking compartment every two to three months. You can clean it more frequently if necessary. Cleaning requires approx. 2.5-4.8 kilowatt hours.

Notes

• For safety reasons, the appliance door locks automatically once a certain temperature is reached. You will not be able to open it again until the lock symbol on the display has gone out.
• The interior lighting will not come on while the appliance is being cleaned.

Setting the cleaning function

The length of time each cleaning cycle runs for has been preset and cannot be changed.

Note: The cleaning function can only be set on one oven. Turn the function selector on the other oven to the zero position.

1. Use the function selector to set pyrolytic self- clean .
