Caution!

do not cover the ventilation slots. Otherwise the oven will overheat.

Your accessories

The accessories supplied with your appliance are suitable for making many meals. Ensure that you always insert the accessories into the cooking compartment the right way round.

There is also a selection of optional accessories, with which you can improve on some of your favourite dishes, or simply to make working with your oven more convenient.

Inserting the accessories

The accessories can be inserted in the oven at 4 different levels. Always insert the accessories as far as they can go to ensure that they do not touch the door glass.

When the accessories are pulled approximately halfway out, they lock into position. This allows meals to be taken out easily.

When placing the accessories in the oven, check that the indentation is at the back. They can only lock correctly in place in this position.

Note: Heat may cause the accessories to deform. As soon as the accessories cool down, they regain their original shape. Their function is not impaired.

Hold the baking tray securely on the sides with both hands and push it parallel into the frame. Avoid movements to the right or left when pushing the baking tray in. Otherwise, it will be difficult to push the tray in and the enamelled surfaces could be damaged.

You can buy accessories from the after-sales service, from specialist retailers or online. Please specify the HEZ number

Care and cleaning

With good care and cleaning, your oven will remain clean and fully-functioning for a long time to come. Here we will explain how to maintain and clean your oven correctly.

Notes

■ Slight differences in the colours on the front of the oven are caused by the use of different materials, such as glass, plastic and metal.

■ Shadows on the door panel which look like streaks, are caused by reflections made by the oven light.

■ Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures. This can cause some slight colour variations. This is normal and does not affect their function. The edges of thin trays cannot be completely enamelled. As a result, these edges can be rough. This will not impair the anti-corrosion protection.

Cleaning agents

Damage to the various different surfaces caused by using the wrong cleaning agent can be avoided by observing the following instructions.

When cleaning the oven do not use

■ sharp or abrasive cleaning agents,

■ cleaning agent with a high alcohol content,

■ scouring pads,

■ high-pressure cleaners or steam jets.

■ Do not clean individual parts in the dishwasher. Wash new sponges thoroughly before first use.

Detaching and refitting the rails

The rails can be removed for cleaning. The oven must have cooled down.

Unhooking the rails

1. Hold the shelf frames from underneath and pull slightly forward. Pull the extension pins at the bottom of the rails out of the mounting holes (Fig. A).

2. Then fold the rails upwards and carefully remove them (Fig. B).

Clean the rails with washing-up liquid and a sponge. For stubborn deposits of dirt, use a brush.

Installing the frames

1. Insert the two hooks carefully into the upper holes. (Figure A - B)

Incorrect assembly!

Never move the frame before the two hooks are fully anchored in the upper holes. The enamel could be damaged and may break (figure C).

2. the two hooks must be inserted fully into the upper holes. Now move the frame slowly and carefully downwards and insert in the lower holes (figure D).

3. Insert both frames into the side walls of the oven (figure E).

If the rails are fitted correctly, the distance between the two upper shelf positions is greater.

Detaching and attaching the oven door

For cleaning purposes and to remove the door panels, you can detach the oven door.

The oven door hinges each have a locking lever. When the locking levers are closed (figure A), the oven door is secured in place. It cannot be detached. When the locking levers are open in order to detach the oven door (Fig. B), the hinges are locked. They cannot snap shut.

Risk of injury!

Whenever the hinges are not locked, they snap shut with great force. Ensure that the locking levers are always fully closed or, when detaching the oven door, fully open.

Detaching the door

1. Open the oven door fully.

2. Fold up the two locking levers on the left and right (figure A).

3. Close the oven door as far as the limit stop. With both hands, grip the door on the left and right-hand sides. Close the door a little further and pull it out (figure B).

Attaching the door

Reattach the oven door in the reverse sequence to removal.

1. When attaching the oven door, ensure that both hinges are inserted straight into the opening (figure A). 2. The notch on the hinge must engage on both sides (figure B).

3. Fold back both locking levers (figure C). Close the oven door.

Risk of injury!

If the oven door falls out accidentally or a hinge snaps shut, do not reach into the hinge. Call the after­sales service.
