During operation, the display ring turns red at second- long 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.

Operating modes

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.

Types of heating

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.

Heating type		Temperature	Use
	4D hot air	30-275 °C	For baking and roasting on one or more levels. The fan distributes heat from the ring heating element in the back panel evenly around the cooking compartment.
	Top/bottom heating	30-300 °C	For traditional baking and roasting on one level. Especially suitable for cakes with moist toppings. Heat is emitted evenly from the top and bottom.
	Hot air eco	30-275 °C	For gently cooking selected types of food on one level without preheating. The fan distributes the heat from the ring-shaped heating element in the back panel around the cooking compartment. This heating function is most effective between 125 and 275 °C. This heating function is used to measure both the energy consumption in air recir- culation mode and the energy efficiency class.
	Top/bottom heating eco	30-300 °C	For gently cooking selected types of food. Heat is emitted from above and below. This heating function is most effective between 150 and 250 °C. This heating function is used to measure the energy consumption in the conven- tional mode.
	Hot air grilling	30-300 °C	For roasting poultry, whole fish and larger pieces of meat. The grill element and the fan switch on and off alternately. The fan circulates the hot air around the food.
	Grill, large area	Grill settings: 1 = low 2 = medium 3 = high	For grilling flat items for grilling, such as steaks and sausages, for making toast, and for cooking au gratin. The whole area below the grill element becomes hot.
	Grill, small area	Grill settings: 1 = low 2 = medium 3 = high	For grilling small amounts of steaks or sausages, for making toast, and for cook- ing au gratin. The centre area under the grill heating element becomes hot.
	Pizza setting	30-275 °C	For preparing pizza and dishes which require a lot of heat from underneath. The bottom heating element and the ring heating element in the back panel heat up.
	Slow cooking	70-120 °C	For gentle and slow cooking of seared, tender pieces of meat in ovenware without a lid. The heat is emitted evenly from the top and bottom at low temperatures.
	Bottom heating	30-250 °C	For cooking in a bain marie and for the final baking stage. The heat is emitted from below.
	Defrosting	30-60 °C	For gently defrosting frozen food.
	Keeping warm	60-100 °C	For keeping cooked food warm.
	Preheating ovenware	30-70 °C	For preheating ovenware.

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.

Further information

In most cases, the appliance provides notes and further information on the action just carried out.

Touch the field. The note is shown in the display for a few seconds. Use the rotary selector to scroll to the end of longer notes.

Some notes are displayed automatically, for example as confirmation, or to provide an instruction or warning.

Cooking compartment functions

The functions in the cooking compartment make your appliance easier to use. This, for example, enables the cooking compartment to be well lit and a cooling fan to prevent the appliance from overheating.

Opening the appliance door

If you open the appliance door during an on-going operation, the operation is paused. The operation continues to run when you close the door.

Interior lighting

When you open the appliance door, the interior lighting switches on. If the door remains open for longer than around 15 minutes, the lighting switches off again.

For most operating modes, the interior lighting switches on as soon as the operation is started. When the operation has finished, the lighting switches off.

Cooling fan

The cooling fan switches on and off as required. The hot air escapes above the door.

Caution!

Do not cover the ventilation slots. Otherwise, the appliance may overheat.

So that the cooking compartment cools down more quickly after the operation, the cooling fan continues to run for a certain period afterwards.

Note: You can change how long the cooling fan continues to run in the basic settings. → "Basic settings" on page 18

Appliance interior

Keeping the appliance clean
Always keep the appliance clean and remove dirt immediately so that stubborn deposits of dirt do not build up.

Tips
■ Clean the cooking compartment after each use. This will ensure that dirt cannot be baked on.
■ Always remove flecks of limescale, grease, starch and albumin (e.g. egg white) immediately.
■ Use the universal pan for baking very moist cakes.
■ Use suitable ovenware for roasting, e.g. a roasting dish.

Cleaning function

Use the "Pyrolytic self-cleaning" function to clean the cooking compartment.

You can choose from three cleaning settings.

The dirtier the cooking compartment and the longer the dirt has been there, the higher the cleaning setting should be. It is sufficient to clean the cooking compartment every two to three months. If required, you can clean the oven more frequently. A cleaning cycle requires only approx. 2.5 – 4.7 kilowatt hours.

Prior to initiating the cleaning function

While cleaning is in progress, you can clean an accessory at the same time, e.g. the universal pan or the baking tray. Before cleaning is started, remove the worst dirt. Slide the accessory in at level 2.

Clean the inside of the appliance door and along the surface edges of the cooking compartment in the area around the seal. Do not scrub the seal and do not remove!

Setting the cleaning function

Before setting the cleaning function, ensure that you have followed all instructions for preparation.

The duration of each cleaning setting is preset and cannot be changed.

1. Touch the field. The cleaning setting is highlighted in white in the display.
2. Turn the rotary selector to set the cleaning setting.
3. Confirm using the Start/Stop button. A note appears relating to the preparations required for the cleaning function.
4. Press the Start/Stop button to start. The duration counts down in the display. The heating line does not appear for the cleaning function.

The cleaning function starts.

Ventilate the kitchen when the cleaning function is running.

The appliance door locks shortly after the function starts running. A message and the symbol appear on the display.

When the cleaning function has ended, an audible signal sounds. The duration 00 m 00 s is shown in the display. Press the On/Off button to switch off the appliance.

The appliance door cannot be reopened until the symbol for the locking mechanism goes out.

Setting a later end time

You can set a later end time. Before starting the appliance, touch the field and set a later end time using the rotary selector.

Once the cleaning function has ended

Once the cooking compartment has cooled down, use a damp cloth to wipe off the ash that has been left behind in the cooking compartment, in the accessories on the racks and around the appliance door.

Wipe the pull-out rails with a damp cloth. Then slide the pull-out rails in and out several times. After cleaning, some discolouration may remain on the pull-out rails.

This has no effect on performance.

Note: Very bad soiling may cause white deposits to remain on the enamel surfaces. This is residue from the food and is harmless. It does not affect performance.

You can remove these residues using lemon juice if required.

Trouble shooting

If a fault occurs, there is often a simple explanation.
Before calling the after-sales service, please refer to the
fault table and attempt to correct the fault yourself.
