Familiarising yourself with your appliance

Controls

You can use the control panel to configure all functions of your appliance and to obtain information about the operating status.

Note: On certain models, specific details such as colour and shape may differ from those pictured.

    → "Temperature and setting levels", Page 7

Buttons and display

You can use the buttons to set various functions for your appliance. The display shows the settings.

If a function is active, the corresponding symbol lights up in the display. The clock symbol only lights up when you change the time.

Types of heating and functions

To ensure that you always use the right type of heating to cook your food, we have explained the differences and applications below.

When you select a type of heating, the appliance suggests a suitable temperature or setting. You can use these values or change them within the specified range.

Other functions

Here, you can find an overview of other functions of your appliance

Note: If you operate your appliance with the Home Connect app, even more functions are available for you. You can find more information about this in the app.

Temperature and setting levels

There are different settings for the types of heating and functions.

The settings appear in the display.

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

Note: For grill setting 3, the appliance lowers the setting to grill setting 1 after approx. 20 minutes.

Heat-up indicator

The appliance indicates when it is heating up. When the appliance is heating, the symbol fills with colour on the display. When you are preheating the appliance, the optimal time to place your food in the cooking compartment is as soon as the symbol is completely filled with colour.

Residual heat indicator

If you switch off the appliance, the symbol on the display shows the residual heat in the cooking compartment. The lower the temperature in the cooking compartment, the less the symbol is filled.

Notes

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

Cooking compartment

The functions in the cooking compartment make your appliance easier to use.

Shelf supports

The shelf supports in the cooking compartment enable you to place accessories at different heights. → "Accessories", Page 8

Your appliance has five shelf positions. The shelf positions are numbered from bottom to top. Depending on the appliance, the shelf supports are fitted with pull-out rails or clip-on pull-out rails. The pullout rails are fixed in place and cannot be removed. The clip-on pull-out rails allow you to use them as you wish at all free shelf positions. You can remove the shelf supports, e. g. for cleaning. → "Shelf supports", Page 24

Lighting

The oven light lights up the cooking compartment. With most types of heating and functions, the lighting lights up during operation. The lighting goes off when operation ends. You can switch on the lighting without heating the oven using the Oven light button.

Cooling fan

The cooling fan switches on and off depending on the appliance's temperature. The hot air escapes above the door.

ATTENTION!

Do not cover the ventilation slot above the appliance door. The appliance overheats.

Ensure that the ventilation slots are unobstructed.

To ensure that the appliance cools down more quickly after operation, the cooling fan continues to run for a certain period afterwards.

Appliance door

If you open the appliance door during operation, the appliance stops heating. When you close the appliance door, the appliance continues to heat again.

  Before using for the first time

Configure the settings for initial start-up. Clean the appliance and accessories.

Cook with precision by inserting the meat probe into the food and setting a core temperature on the appliance. Once the set core temperature has been reached in the food, the appliance stops automatically.

Suitable types of heating with the meat thermometer

Only certain types of heating are suitable for use with the meat thermometer. Suitable heating functions include:

  • 3D hot air
  • Hot air gentle
  • Pizza setting
  • Hot air grilling
  • Top/bottom heating

Note: If the meat thermometer is being used and you select an unsuitable type of heating, a signal sounds.

Use the meat thermometer supplied or order a suitable meat thermometer from our after-sales service.

WARNING ‒ Risk of electric shock! Using the wrong meat probe could damage the insulation.

Only use the meat probe for this specific appliance.

ATTENTION!

Otherwise the meat probe may be damaged.

  • Do not trap the cable of the meat probe.
  • To prevent the meat probe from being damaged by excessive heat, there must be a gap of a few centimetres between the grill element and the meat probe. The meat may expand during the cooking process.
  • Insert the meat thermometer at an angle into the thickest part of the meat. Ensure that the tip of the meat thermometer is correctly positioned in the meat:
    – The tip must be roughly in the middle of the food.
    – The tip must not be inserted in the fat.
    – The tip must not touch any cookware or bones.
  • Place the food with the meat thermometer into the cooking compartment. It is best to place the food in cookware into the centre of the wire rack.
  • Plug the meat thermometer into the socket on the left-hand side of the cooking compartment.

Notes

  • If you remove the meat thermometer while the food is cooking, all the settings will be reset.
  • Do not remove the meat thermometer when turning the food. Once you have turned the food, check that the meat thermometer is correctly positioned in the food.

    Note: The current core temperature only appears once it reaches 10 °C.
  3. Use the temperature selector to set the temperature of the cooking compartment. Set the cooking compartment temperature at least 10 °C higher than the core temperature. Do not set the cooking compartment temperature to higher than 250 °C.
    - The appliance starts heating after a few seconds.
    - Once the food reaches the core temperature, an audible signal sounds and, in the display, the current core temperature is equal to the set core temperature, e.g. 75 °C|75 °C.
  4. WARNING ‒ Risk of burns!
    The cooking compartment, accessories and meat probe become very hot.
    - Always use oven gloves to remove hot accessories and the meat probe from the cooking compartment.
    When the core temperature is reached:
    ‒ Switch off the appliance.
    ‒ Pull the meat probe out of the socket in the cooking compartment.
    ‒ Pull the meat probe out of the food remove it from the cooking compartment.
