Control ring

You can use the control ring to change the setting values that are shown in the display.

If you have reached the maximum value for setting values, such as the temperature, minimum or maximum value, this value remains in the display. If required, use the control ring to turn the value back again.

For lists, e.g. the types of heating, the first value starts again after the last value.

Display

The display shows the current setting values on different levels.

Display ring

The display ring is located around the outside of the display.

• Position indicator - If you change a value, the display ring shows you where you are in the selection list. The display ring may be continuous or divided into segments depending on the settings area and the length of the selection list.
• Progress indicator - During operation, the display ring displays the progress and turns red at second-long intervals. As the cooking time counts down, one segment of the display ring disappears every second.

Temperature display

The heating line and the residual heat indicator show you the temperature in the cooking compartment

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

• Heating line - Once operation has started, the white line below the temperature turns red as the cooking compartment heats up. When you are preheating the appliance, the optimal time to place your food in the cooking compartment is as soon as the entire line has turned red. With set levels such as grill settings, the heating line turns red immediately.
• Residual heat indicator - When the appliance is switched off, the display ring shows the residual heat in the cooking compartment. As the residual heat dissipates, the display ring gets darker before eventually disappearing completely.

Cooking compartment

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

Shelf supports

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

Your appliance has five shelf positions. The shelf positions are numbered from bottom to top. The rails are equipped with pull-out rails on one or more levels, depending on the appliance type. You can remove the rails, e.g. for cleaning.

Lighting

One or more oven lights illuminate the cooking compartment. When you open the appliance door, the light in the cooking compartment switches on. If the appliance door remains open for longer than 15 minutes, the light switches off again. For most operating modes, the lighting is switched on during operation. The lighting switches off again when the operation ends.

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.
