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.

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.

1. Buttons and display

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

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

2. 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.

3. Temperature selector

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

You can only turn the temperature selector clockwise from the "Off" position, until it offers resistance. Do not turn the selector beyond this point.

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

Buttons

The sensors are located under the individual buttons. They must not be pressed too firmly. Only touch the corresponding symbol.

Display

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, tap the button several times. The symbol that lights up corresponds to the value currently shown in large digits on the display.

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.

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

Temperature display

When the appliance is heating, the symbol will be lit on the display. It goes out during pauses in the heating. When you are preheating the appliance, the optimal time to place your food in the cooking compartment is when the symbol first goes out.

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

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.

Before using for the first time

Before you can use your new appliance, you must make some settings. You must also clean the cooking compartment and accessories.

Initial use

The time will appear on the display once the appliance is connected to the power supply. Set the current time.
