Owner's Guide Ovens

Your new oven

We will now describe your new oven. This chapter explains the functions of the control panel and its individual elements. Information is also provided about the oven's accessories and internal components.

Control panel

Below is a general overview of the control panel. The display panel cannot show all the symbols at the same time. Elements may vary depending on the model.

Retractable control knobs

In some ovens, the control knobs are retractable. The control knob is retracted or returned by pressing it when at the zero setting.

Buttons

There are sensors under each button. Do not press hard on the buttons. Only press the relevant symbol.

Function control knob

The function control knob is used to select the type of heating.

* Type of heating used to determine the appliance's energy efficiency rating according to EN60350.

Once a type of heating has been selected the oven light is turned on.

Control buttons and display panel

The buttons are used to set different additional functions. The set values are shown on the display panel.

On the display panel, the brackets [ ] indicate the symbol for the time function selected.

Temperature control knob

The temperature control knob is used to select the temperature or the grill power level.

When the oven is heating, the symbol lights up on the display panel. This light goes off when heating is paused. The symbol does not come on with the light function or the defrost function .

Note: If grilling for more than 15 minutes, turn the temperature control knob to the low setting.

Inside the oven

There is a light inside the oven. A fan prevents the oven from overheating.

Fan

The fan can be turned on and off as necessary. The hot air escapes through the top of the door. Warning! Do not cover the vent. The oven could overheat.

The fan remains on for a certain length of time after the oven has been switched off so that it can cool down more quickly.

Light

The oven light remains on while the oven is working. However, the light can be turned on without the oven being on by setting the function control knob to .

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 placed inside the oven on 5 different levels. Always insert them as far as possible so that the accessories do not touch the door glass.

The accessories can be removed halfway until they are secured. This makes it easy to remove food.

When inserting an accessory in the oven, make sure the curvature is at the rear. This is the only way to ensure it fits perfectly.

Depending on the equipment, if the appliance has guide rails, these will interlock slightly when fully removed. This means the accessory can be easily inserted. To unlock, reinsert the guide rails in the oven exerting slight pressure.

Note: Accessories may deform as they heat up. This deformation will disappear when they cool. This does not affect the normal operation.

Your oven is supplied with only some of the following accessories.

Accessories may be purchased from the Technical Assistance Service, from specialist retailers or on the Internet. Enter the HEZ number.

Wire shelf

For cookware, baking tins, roasts, grilled items and frozen meals.

Insert the wire shelf with the open end facing the oven door and the curvature downwards .

Flat enamel oven tray

For cakes, pastries and biscuits.

Place the tray in the oven with its raised lip facing the door.

Universal deep enamel tray

For juicy cakes, pastries, frozen meals and large joints for roasting. This can also be used as a tray to collect the fat when roasting directly on the wire shelf.

Place the tray in the oven with its raised lip facing the door.

Special accessories

Accessories may be purchased from the Technical Assistance Service or from specialist retailers. There is a wide range of accessories available for the oven in our catalogues and on the Internet. Ordering online and the availability of special accessories changes from country to country. Consult your purchase documentation.

Not all of the special accessories are suitable for all appliances. When purchasing, always give the exact name (E Nr.) of your appliance.

Care and cleaning

If cleaned and properly cared for, your oven will keep its bright appearance and operating performance for many years to come. Advice on how to care for and clean your oven is provided below.

Notes

  • Different colours may be seen in your front panel due to the various materials used in its manufacture, such as glass, plastic and metal.
  • Dark patches in the door's glass panel may seem to be dirt but they are in fact reflections from the oven light.
  • Enamel burns at very high temperatures. This may cause slight discolouration. This is normal and does not affect the oven's operation. The edges of thin baking trays may not be completely enamelled. They may therefore feel slightly rough, although their corrosive protection will be unaffected.

Cleaning products

Follow the indications provided in the table to avoid damaging the various oven surfaces by using unsuitable cleaning products. Do not use

  • abrasive or acidic cleaning products
  • strong products containing alcohol
  • scourers or hard sponges
  • high-pressure or steam cleaners

Wash new dishcloths thoroughly before use.

Zone Cleaning products
Front panel

Hot water and a little soap:
Clean with a dishcloth and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use a glass cleaning product or a glass scraper.

Stainless steel

Hot water and a little soap:
Clean with a dishcloth and dry with a soft cloth. Immediately remove any water marks, grease, cornflower or egg white stains since corrosion could occur underneath these marks or stains.

Special products for the care of stainless steel and which are suitable for hot surfaces may be obtained from Technical Assistance Service centres and specialist retail outlets. Use a very fine soft cloth to apply the cleaning product.

Cleaning the self-cleaning surfaces in the oven interior

The inside rear and side walls and top of some ovens may be lined with a highly porous ceramic lining. This lining absorbs splashes produced during baking and roasting, dissolving them while the oven is working. This cleaning will be most effective at higher temperatures and during longer cooking times.

Proceed as follows if the oven is still dirty after being used several times:

  1. Thoroughly clean the bottom and any walls that do not have this lining.
  2. Programming the 3D Hot air function.
  3. Empty the oven and then leave it on with the door closed for approximately 2 hours at maximum temperature.

The ceramic lining will regenerate. Once the oven has cooled down, remove any brown and white stains with water and a soft sponge.

Slight discolouration of the lining does not affect its self-cleaning performance.

Caution!

  • Do not use abrasive cleaning products. These would scratch and impair the highly porous lining.
  • Never use oven cleaning products on ceramics. If oven cleaner is spilled on this accidentally, immediately remove it using lots of water and a sponge.

Cleaning the oven's enamelled bottom and walls

Use a cleaning cloth and hot water with a little soap or vinegar.

If very dirty, use a fine steel scourer or a special oven cleaning product. These must only be used when the oven interior is cold. Do not use metal scourers or special oven cleaning products on self-cleaning surfaces.

Light

The oven light can be turned on manually to facilitate cleaning.

Turning on the oven light

Turn the function control knob to the position.

The light will come on. The temperature control knob must be turned off.

Turning the oven light off

Turn the function control knob to the Ûposition.

Removing and refitting the wire shelves or left and right hand side rails

The wire shelves or left and right hand side rails can be removed for cleaning. The oven must be cold.

Release the guides or rails

  1. Lift the front of the guide or rail and release it (figure A).
  2. Then pull the guide or rail forwards completely and remove it (figure B).

Clean the guides or rails with detergents and a sponge. The use of a brush is recommended for stubborn stains.

Install the wire shelves or rails

  1. First insert the shelf or the rail in the rear groove by pushing it back slightly (figure A)
  2. Then insert it in the front groove (figure B).

Wire shelves or rails can be adjusted on the left and right hand side. Their curvature should always be face down.

Unhooking and hanging the oven door

The front panel can be unhooked to help remove the oven door and clean the glass panels.

The oven door hinges are fitted with a locking lever. The door cannot be unhooked if the locking lever is closed (figure A). Once the locking lever has been opened to unhook the door (figure B), the hinges will be locked in position. This prevents the door from suddenly closing.

Risk of injuries! The hinges may close suddenly if they are not locked in position by the lever. Note that the locking levers are always closed, apart from when unhooking the door, when the levers must be open.

Unhooking the door

  1. Fully open the oven door.
  2. Remove both locking levers located on the right and left hand sides (figure A).
  3. Fully close the oven door as far as possible (figure B). Grip the left and right hand sides of the door with both hands. Close the door slightly more and remove it.

Hanging the door

Rehang the door by following the same steps but in reverse order.

  1. When refitting the door, check that both hinges are positioned exactly inside their respective openings (picture A).
  2. The bottom groove of the hinges must fit snugly on both sides.

    The door may be left crooked if the hinges are not mounted properly.
  3. Reclose the attachment levers (picture C). Close the oven door.

Risk of injuries! Do not touch the hinges; the door might accidentally fall or a hinge might suddenly close. Notify the Technical Assistance Service.

Removing and installing the door panels

To facilitate cleaning, you can remove the glass panels from the oven door.

Dismantling

  2. Remove the upper cover from the oven door. To do this, press with your fingers on the tabs on the left and right (Figure A).
  3. Lift and remove the top glass panel (Figure B).

    In doors with three glass panels, the following step will also be necessary:
  4. Lift and remove the glass panel (Figure C).

    Clean the glass panels using a glass cleaning product and a soft cloth.
    Do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaning products, glass scrapers or hard metal scourers as these could damage the glass.

Risk of injury! Scratched glass in the appliance door may develop into a crack. Do not use a glass scraper, or sharp or abrasive cleaning aids or detergents.

Installing

Follow steps 2 to 4 with doors that have two glass panels.

When installing, ensure that the "right above" inscription on the lower left part is inverted.

  1. Insert the glass panel by tilting it backwards (Figure A).
  2. Insert the upper glass panel on both mounts by tilting it backwards. Ensure that its smooth surface is facing outwards. (Figure B)
  3. Fit and tighten the cover.
