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

In the control panel, you can use the various buttons, touch fields and the rotary selector to set the different appliance functions. The current settings are shown on the display.

The overview shows the control panel when the appliance is switched on with a selected heating type.

Controls

The individual controls are adapted for the various functions of your appliance. You can set your appliance simply and directly.

Buttons and touch fields

Here you can find a short explanation of the various buttons and touch fields.

The touch field, which has a value on the display that can be changed or displayed in the foreground, lights up red.

Rotary selector

You can use the rotary selector to change the adjustment values shown on the display.

In most selection lists, such as the temperature, you have to turn the rotary selector back the other way if you reach the minimum or maximum value. However, for the heating types for example, the first selection follows the last.

Display

The display is structured so that the information can be read at a glance in any situation.

The value that you can currently set is in focus. It is displayed in white lettering and underlined in white. The value in the background is displayed in grey.

Display ring

The display ring can be found around the outside of the display.

If you change a value, the display ring shows you where you are in the selection list. Depending on the settings area and length of the selection list, the display ring may be continuous or divided into segments.

During operation, the display ring turns red at secondlong intervals. After every full minute, the segments turn red again from the beginning. As the cooking time counts down, one segment disappears every second.

Temperature display

After the operation has started, the current cooking compartment temperature is displayed graphically on the display.

Note: Due to thermal inertia, the temperature displayed may be slightly different to the actual temperature inside the oven.

Types of heating

To enable you to find the correct type of heating for your dish, we have explained the differences and scopes of application here.

The symbols for each type of heating help you to remember them.

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

Default values

For each heating type, the appliance specifies a default temperature or level. You can accept this value or change it in the appropriate area.

Further information

In most cases, the appliance provides notes and further information on the action just carried out.

Touch the ° field. The note is shown in the display for a few seconds. Use the rotary selector to scroll to the end of longer notes.

Some notes are displayed automatically, for example as confirmation, or to provide an instruction or warning.

Cooking compartment functions

The functions in the cooking compartment make your appliance easier to use. This, for example, enables the cooking compartment to be well lit and a cooling fan to prevent the appliance from overheating.

Opening the appliance door

If you open the appliance door during an on-going operation, the operation is paused. The operation continues to run when you close the door.

Interior lighting

When you open the appliance door, the interior lighting switches on. If the door remains open for longer than around 15 minutes, the lighting switches off again.

For most operating modes, the interior lighting switches on as soon as the operation is started. When the operation has finished, the lighting switches off.

Note: You can set the interior lighting not to come on during the operation in the basic settings. → "Basic settings" on page 17

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 the operation, the cooling fan continues to run for a certain period afterwards.

Note: You can change how long the cooling fan continues to run in the basic settings. → "Basic settings" on page 17

Operating the appliance

You have already learnt about the controls and how they work. Now we will explain how to set your appliance. You will learn about what happens when you switch the appliance on and off, and how to select the operating mode.

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.

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.

Rails

With good care and cleaning, your appliance will retain its appearance and remain fully functional for a long time to come. This will tell you how to remove the shelves and clean them.

Detaching and refitting the rails

Detaching the rails

1. Lift the rail slightly at the front a and detach it b (figure ).

2. Then pull the whole rail towards you and take it out (figure ).

Clean the rails with cleaning agent and a sponge. For stubborn deposits of dirt, use a brush.

Attaching the rails

The rails only fit on the right or the left side. For both rails, ensure that the curved rods are at the front.
