Get t i ng to know your appl i anc eIn this chapter, we will explain the indicators and controls. You will also find out about the various functions of your appliance.
Note: Depending on the appliance model, individual details and colours may differ.
In the control panel, you can use the various buttons, touch fields and the rotary selector to set the different appliance functions. The current settings are shown on the display. The overview shows the control panel when the appliance is switched on with a selected heating type.

The individual controls are adapted for the various functions of your appliance. You can set your appliance simply and directly.
Buttons and touch fields
Here you can find a short explanation of the various buttons and touch fields.

External touch fields

Internal touch fields

The touch field, which has a value on the display that can be changed or displayed in the foreground, lights up red.
Rotary selector
You can use the rotary selector to change the adjustment values shown on the display. In most selection lists, such as the temperature, you have to turn the rotary selector back the other way if you reach the minimum or maximum value. However, for the heating types for example, the first selection follows the last.
Display
The display is structured so that the information can be read at a glance in any situation. The value that you can currently set is highlighted. It is displayed in white lettering and underlined in white. The value in the background is displayed in grey text.
Display ring
The display ring can be found around the outside of the display. If you change a value, the display ring shows you where you are in the selection list. Depending on the settings area and length of the selection list, the display ring may be continuous or divided into segments. During operation, the display ring turns red at secondlong intervals. After every full minute, the segments turn red again from the beginning. As the cooking time counts down, one segment disappears every second.
Temperature display
After the operation has started, the current cooking compartment temperature is displayed graphically on the display.
Note: Due to thermal inertia, the temperature displayed may be slightly different to the actual temperature inside the oven.
Your appliance has various operating modes which make your appliance easier to use. You can find more precise descriptions of these in the corresponding sections.

To enable you to find the correct type of heating for your dish, we have explained the differences and scopes of application here. The symbols for each type of heating help you to remember them.
When cooking at very high temperatures, the appliance lowers the temperature slightly after an extended period.

Default values
For each heating type, the appliance specifies a default temperature or level. You can accept this value or change it in the appropriate area.
Microwave
To ensure that you always use the correct microwave power setting, we have provided a general overview of what the different power settings can be used for below. The microwave power settings do not always correspond to the exact wattage that the appliance uses.

MicroCombi
Various types of heating can be combined with the Microwave operating mode. The appliance heats up and the microwave is switched on at the same time. As a result, the food is ready in a much shorter time. Microwave power settings between 90 and 360 watts are suitable for this.
Your appliance is equipped with the following accessories:

Only use original accessories. They are specially adapted for your appliance. You can buy accessories from the after-sales service, from specialist retailers or online.
Note: The accessories may deform when they become hot. This does not affect their function. Once they have cooled down again, they regain their original shape.
Microwave
Only the wire rack provided is suitable when using the microwave only. If you use the universal pan or the baking tray, this may create sparks, which may damage the cooking compartment. When using the appliance in combination with the microwave or "Dishes" mode, you can use the universal pan, baking tray or any other accessories that have been included with the appliance.
The cooking compartment has three shelf positions. The shelf positions are counted from the bottom up.

When using positions 1, 2 and 3, always insert the accessory between the two guide rods for a shelf position.
Notes
Locking function
The accessories can be pulled out approximately halfway until they lock in place. The locking function prevents the accessories from tilting when they are pulled out. The accessories must be inserted into the cooking compartment correctly for the tilt protection to work properly.
When inserting the wire rack, ensure that the catch tappet a is at the rear and is facing downwards. The lettering "microwave" must be at the front and the outer rail must face downwards 

When inserting baking trays, ensure that the catch tappet ais at the rear and is facing downwards. The sloping edge of the accessory b must be facing forwards towards the appliance door.
Example in the picture: Universal pan

You can buy optional accessories from the after-sales service, from specialist retailers or online. *You will find a comprehensive range of products for your appliance in our brochures and online. Both availability and whether it is possible to order online differ between countries. Please see your sales brochures for more details.

You can use the microwave to cook, heat up or defrost food quickly. The microwave can be used on its own, or in combination with a type of heating. To ensure optimum use of the microwave, please observe the notes on cookware and familiarise yourself with the data in the application tables at the end of the instruction manual.
Not all cookware is suitable for microwaves. To ensure that your food is heated and the appliance is not damaged, only use cookware that is suitable for microwaves. Heat-resistant cookware made of glass, glass ceramic, porcelain or heat-resistant plastic is suitable. These materials allow microwaves to pass through. You can also use ceramic if it has been fully glazed and has no cracks.
You can also use serving dishes. This saves you having to transfer food from one dish to another. You should only use cookware with decorative gold or silver trim if the manufacturer guarantees that they are suitable for use in microwaves.
To bake in combined operation, you can use ordinary metal baking tins. This means that the cake is also browned from below. Metal dishes are not suitable for other applications. Metal does not allow microwaves to pass through. Food in covered metal containers will remain cold.
Caution! Creation of sparks: Metal (e.g. a spoon in a glass) must be kept at least 2 cm from the cooking compartment walls and the inside of the door. Sparks may irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.
Never switch on the microwave unless there is food inside. The short cookware test is the only exception to this rule. Perform the following test if you are unsure whether your cookware is suitable for use in the microwave.
The cookware should remain cold or warm to the touch. The cookware is unsuitable if it becomes hot or sparks are generated. In this case, stop the test.
Warning – Risk of burns! The accessible parts become very hot when in operation. Never touch hot parts. Keep children at a safe distance.
Only the wire rack provided is suitable when using the microwave only. If you use the universal pan or the baking tray, this may create sparks, which may damage the cooking compartment. When using the appliance in combination with the microwave or "Dishes" mode, you can use the universal pan, baking tray or any other accessories that have been included with the appliance.
When using the microwave, it is best to insert accessories at level 1, unless otherwise specified.
A variety of microwave power settings that are suitable for different types of food and food preparation are available.
A cooking time must always be set to operate the microwave. You can either apply the default cooking time or adjust it in the relevant menu.

The maximum setting is designed for heating liquids only; it is not designed for heating food. To protect the appliance, the maximum power of the microwave is gradually reduced to 600 W during the first few minutes. Full power is made available again after a cooling period.
Before setting the microwave, observe the information regarding suitable ovenware.
