The buttons on the left- and right-hand side of the control panel have a pressure point. Press these buttons to activate them.

For appliances that do not have a stainless steel front, these two button touch fields do not have a pressure point.

2. Touch fields

There are sensors under the touch fields. Simply touch the respective symbol to select the function.

3. Rotary selector

The rotary selector is fitted so that you can turn it indefinitely to the left or right. Press it lightly and move it in the direction required using your finger.

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.

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.

Cleaning agent

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.

Keeping the appliance clean

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

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

i t cnu f gn i nae lCThe cooking compartment can be cleaned effortlessly with the “Pyrolytic system” cleaning function. The cooking compartment is heated to an extremely high temperature. This burns off residues from roasting, grilling and baking.

You can choose from three cleaning settings.

The dirtier the cooking compartment and the longer the dirt has been there, the higher the cleaning setting should be. It is sufficient to clean the cooking compartment every two to three months. If required, you can clean the oven more frequently. A cleaning cycle requires only approx. 2.5 – 4.7 kilowatt hours.

Prior to initiating the cleaning function

While cleaning is in progress, you can clean an accessory at the same time, e.g. the universal pan or the baking tray. Before cleaning is started, remove the worst dirt. Slide the accessory in at level 2. Clean the inside of the appliance door and along the surface edges of the cooking compartment in the area around the seal. Do not scrub the seal.

Note: When using the cleaning function, you can clean the enamel accessory provided at the same time. You cannot clean any of the wire racks when using the cleaning function. The wire racks are not suitable for cleaning using the cleaning function; this will discolour them. Further accessories suitable for cleaning using the cleaning function are listed in the table for special accessories. ~ "Accessories" on page 10

The cleaning function starts.

Ventilate the kitchen when the cleaning function is running.

The appliance door locks shortly after the function starts running. A message and the symbol appear on the display.

When the cleaning function has ended, an audible signal sounds. The duration 00 m 00 s is shown in the display. Press the On/Off button to switch off the appliance.

The appliance door cannot be reopened until the symbol for the locking mechanism goes out.

Setting a later end time

You can set a later end time. Before starting the appliance, touch the field and set a later end time using the rotary selector. The appliance switches to standby after it is started.

The end time can no longer be changed.

Changing and cancelling

If you would like to cancel the cleaning function, switch the appliance off using the On/Off button. You can no longer pause the operation using the Start/Stop button.

The appliance door remains locked until the symbol for the locking mechanism on the display goes out.

Once the cleaning function has ended

Once the cooking compartment has cooled down, wipe off the ash that has been left behind in the cooking compartment and around the appliance door with a damp cloth.

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
