Getting to know your appliance

In 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.

Control panel

You can set your appliance's various functions on the control panel. Below, you will see an overview of the control panel and the layout of the controls.

1. Buttons and display
   • The buttons are touch keys with sensors underneath. Simply touch a symbol to select the function it represents.
   • The display shows symbols for active functions and the time-setting options.
2. Function selector
   • Use the function selector to set the heating function or other functions.
   • You can turn the function selector clockwise or anti-clockwise from the "Off" position.
3. Temperature selector
   • Use the temperature selector to set the temperature for the heating function or select the setting for other functions.
   • You can also turn the temperature selector clockwise and anti-clockwise

Note: On some appliances, the control knobs can be pushed in. To push the control knob in and engage it or to release it again, turn it to the "Off" position.

Buttons and display

You can use the buttons to set various additional functions on your appliance. You will be able to see the values for these on the display.

Display

The value that can be set at the present time or that is elapsing will be shown in large digits on the display.

To use the individual time-setting options, tap the button several times. The symbol that lights up corresponds to the value currently shown in large digits on the display

Types of heating and functions

Use the function selector to set the types of heating and other functions.

To make sure you always use the right type of heating to cook your food, we have explained the differences and applications below.

Other functions

Your new oven has yet more functions; see below for a brief description of these

Temperature

Use the temperature selector to set the temperature in the cooking compartment. You can also use it to select the settings for other functions. When cooking at very high temperatures, the appliance lowers the temperature slightly after an extended period.

Temperature indicator

When the appliance is heating, the symbol will be lit on the display. It goes out during pauses in heating.

When you are preheating the appliance, the optimal time to place your food in the cooking compartment is when the symbol first goes out.

Notes

• The temperature indicator only appears for heating functions for which a temperature is set. It does not appear for grill settings, for example.
• Due to thermal inertia, the actual temperature inside the cooking compartment may differ slightly from the temperature that is displayed.

Cooking compartment

Various functions in the cooking compartment make your appliance easier to use. For example, the cooking compartment is well lit and a cooling fan prevents the appliance from overheating.

Opening the appliance door

If you open the appliance door when the appliance is in operation, the appliance will continue to operate as before.

Interior lighting

With most heating functions and other functions, the interior lighting in the cooking compartment will remain lit while the oven is in operation. When the function selector is turned to bring operation to an end, the lighting will go out.

By turning the function selector to the interior lighting setting, you can switch on the lighting without heating the oven. This makes it easier to clean your appliance, for example.

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 operation, the cooling fan continues to run for a certain period afterwards.

Accessories

Your appliance is accompanied by a range of accessories. Here, you can find an overview of the accessories included and information on how to use them correctly.

Control accessories

The accessories supplied may differ depending on the appliance model.

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.

Inserting accessories

The cooking compartment has five shelf positions. The shelf positions are counted from the bottom up.

In some appliances, the highest shelf position is marked on the cooking compartment with the grill symbol.

Always insert the accessory between the two guide bars for a shelf position.

Accessories can be pulled out approximately halfway without tipping.

Notes

• Make sure that you always insert the accessories into the cooking compartment the right way round.
• Always insert accessories fully into the cooking compartment so that they do not touch the appliance door.
• Take any accessories that you will not be using out of the cooking compartment.

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 lug a is at the rear and is facing downwards. The open side must be facing the appliance door and the outer rail must be facing downwards

When inserting baking trays, ensure that lug a is at the rear and is facing downwards. The sloping edge of the accessory b must be facing towards the appliance door.

Example in the picture: Universal pan

Combining accessories You can insert the wire rack and the universal pan at the same time to catch drops of liquid. When inserting the wire rack, ensure that both spacers a are at the rear edge. When inserting the universal pan, the wire rack is on top of the upper guide rod of the shelf position.

Example in the picture: Universal pan

Optional accessories

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.

Note: Not all optional accessories are suitable for every appliance. When purchasing, please always quote the exact identification number (E-no.) of your appliance. ~ "Customer service" on page 25

Cleaning

With good care and cleaning, your appliance will retain its appearance and remain fully functioning for a long time to come. We will explain here how you should correctly care for and clean your appliance.

Suitable cleaning agents

To ensure that the different surfaces are not damaged by using the wrong cleaning agent, observe the information in the table. Depending on the appliance model, not all of the areas listed may be on/in your appliance.

Caution!

Risk of surface damage

Do not use:

• Harsh or abrasive cleaning agents,
• Cleaning agents with a high alcohol content,
• Hard scouring pads or cleaning sponges,
• High-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners,
• Special cleaners for cleaning the appliance while it is hot.

Warning – Risk of burns!

The appliance becomes very hot. Never touch the interior surfaces of the cooking compartment or the heating elements. Always allow the appliance to cool down. Keep children at a safe distance

Notes

• Slight differences in colour on the front of the appliance are caused by the use of different materials, such as glass, plastic and metal.
• Shadows on the door panels, which look like streaks, are caused by reflections made by the interior lighting.
• Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures.This can cause some slight colour variation. This is normal and does not affect operation. The edges of thin trays cannot be completely enamelled. As a result, these edges can be rough. This does not impair the anti-corrosion protection.

Keeping the appliance clean

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

:Warning – Risk of fire! Loose food remnants, fat and meat juices may catch fire. Before using the appliance, remove the worst of the food remnants from the cooking compartment, heating elements and accessories.

Tips

• Clean the cooking compartment after each use. This will ensure that dirt cannot be baked on.
