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 ap- plications below.

Main oven

Symbol	Type of heating	What it's used for/how it works
	3D hot air	Bake and roast on one or more levels. The fan distributes the heat from the ring-shaped heating element in the back wall evenly around the cooking compartment.
	Gentle hot air	Cook selected dishes gently on one level without preheating. The fan distributes the heat from the ring-shaped heating element in the back wall evenly around the cooking compartment. The food is cooked in phases us-ing residual heat. Select a temperature of between 120 °C and 230 °C. Always keep the appliance door closed when cooking. This type of heating is used to determine the energy consumption in air recircu-lation mode and the energy efficiency class.

Top oven

Symbol	Type of heating	What it's used for/how it works
	Top/bottom heating	Bake on one level. The heat is emitted evenly from above and below. This type of heating is used to measure the energy consumption in the conven-tional mode.
	Grill, small area	Grill small quantities of steak, sausages or toast. Brown small quantities of food. The central area underneath the grill element becomes hot.
	Full-surface grill	Grill flat items such as steak, sausages, or toast. Brown food. The entire area underneath the grill element becomes hot.

Other functions

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

Temperature and setting levels

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

Note: For temperature settings above 250 °C, the appliance reduces the temperature to approx. 240 °C after ap- prox. 10 minutes. If your appliance has the top/bottom heating or bottom heating types, this temperature reduction does not take place.

Heating-up control

The heating-up indicator for the oven remains lit while the appliance is heating.

Note: Due to thermal inertia, the temperature displayed may differ slightly from the actual temperature inside the cooking compartment.

Heating-up indicator

When the main oven heats up, the symbol also lights up in the display. This symbol goes out when heating is paused.

Cooking compartment

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

Rails

The rails in the cooking compartment enable you to place accessories at different heights.

→ "Accessories", Page 9

The shelf positions are numbered from bottom to top.

You can remove the rails, e. g. for cleaning.

→ "Shelf supports", Page 15

Main cooking compartment

The cooking compartment has five shelf positions.

Top cooking compartment

The cooking compartment has three shelf positions.

Self-cleaning surfaces

The self-cleaning surfaces in the cooking compartment are coated with a porous, matt ceramic layer and have a rough surface. When the appliance is in operation, the self-cleaning surfaces absorb splashes from roasting or grilling and break them down.

The following surfaces are self-cleaning:

Lighting

The oven light lights up the cooking compartment.

With most types of heating and functions, the lighting lights up during operation. When the function selector is turned to bring operation to an end, the lighting goes out.

The Oven light setting on the function selector can be used to switch on the light without heating.

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 operation continues.

Accessories

Use original accessories. These have been made especially for your appliance.

Note: Accessories may become deformed if they get hot. Deformation has no effect on function. As the accessory cools down, it will regain its original shape.

The accessories supplied may differ depending on the appliance model.

Locking function

The locking function prevents the accessories from tilt- ing when they are pulled out.

You can pull out the accessories approximately halfway without them tipping. The accessories must be inserted into the cooking compartment correctly for the tilt pro- tection to work properly.

Sliding accessories into the cooking compartment

Always slide accessories into the cooking compartment correctly. This is the only way to ensure that accessor- ies can be pulled out approximately halfway without tip- ping.

1.Turn the accessories so that the notch is at the rear and is facing downwards.

2. Insert accessories between the two guide rods for the shelf position.

3. Push the accessory all the way in, making sure that it does not touch the appliance door.

Note: Take any accessories that you will not be using out of the cooking compartment while the appliance is in operation.

Combining accessories

You can combine the wire rack with the universal pan to catch any liquid that drips down.

1.Place the wire rack on the universal pan so that both spacers are on the rear edge of the univer- sal pan.

2. Insert the universal pan between the two guide rods for a shelf position. In so doing, the wire rack is on top of the upper guide rod.
