Diagram of a vehicle or car with labeled components including lights, cars, and sensors

To select a temperature, use the temperature regulator knob to set the desired temperature. You can set the temperature within a range of 50-250°C.

The oven can be switched off by setting both of these knobs to position "0".

Two signal lights (red and orange) indicate that the oven is operating.

The red light indicates that the oven is heating.

When the red light goes off the oven has reached the temperature you preset.

If a recipe recommends to place dishes in a warmed-up oven, place the dishes in the oven after the red light has gone off for the first time.

While the oven is used, the red light will go off and on temporarily to maintain the preset temperature.

The orange light indicates that the oven is operating.

The orange light is also on, when the interior light of the oven is switched on.

Functions of the oven

50-250°C

You can select a temperature from 50-250°C.

Switches on the internal light, e.g. when cleaning the oven.

Bottom and top heat.

Bottom and top heat and fan. When the temperature control is set to 0, just the fan operates and you can cool down food or the inside of the oven.

Grill and top heat. All grill components are on. Top heat is on.

Defrost. You can defrost frozen food. Defrosting time depends on size and weight of the food.

Grill and fan and top heat.. Accelerates grilling.

Grill and fan. Suitable four chicken or roasts.

Bottom heat only. Suitable for additional baking.

Eco Modus : Upper/Lower Heat, Maximum Power restricted

Grilling

1. Select a function marked with the grilling-pictogram.
2. Temperature for Grilling and Intensive-Grilling: 250^0 C; temperature for Grill and fan: 200^0 C.
3. When you grill your food on a grillage, also insert a drip tray to keep the appliance clean.
4. Always keep the door of the oven closed while grilling.
5. Turn your food over after half of the grilling-time.
6. Spread your food with a little bit of oil before grilling.
7. NOTICE! Do not use aluminium foil for grilling. Do not wrap your food in aluminium foil and do not cover the grillage with aluminium foil. The aluminium foil will reflect the heat of the grill so the appliance may be damaged.

Helpful hints

We recommend to use the supplied baking tray provided with your appliance.
It is also possible to bake in cake tins and trays bought somewhere else. For baking it is better to use black trays which conduct heat better and shorten the baking time.
▶ Shapes and trays with bright or shiny surfaces are not recommended when using the conventional heating method (top and bottom heaters). The use of such tins can result in under-cooking the base of cakes.
Before you take a cake out of the oven, check that it is ready using a wooden stick (when the cake is ready the stick should come out dry and clean after having been inserted in the cake).
When switching off the oven leave the cake inside for about 5 minutes.

Cook meat with a weight of more than 1 kg in the oven. Cook smaller pieces of food on the hob.
Use oven-proof cookware only. Check that their handles also are oven-proof.
When you cook meat on a grillage, insert a drip tray with a small amount of water in the oven (minimum rack height).
→ Turn over meat at least once.
→ Never pour cold water on the meat.

Saving of energy

Use proper cookware for cooking. Cookware with thick, flat bases can save up to 1/3 of electric energy. Remember to cover your cookware if possible; otherwise you will use four times as much energy!
Match the size of the cookware to the surface of the heating plate.
A cookware should never be smaller than a heating plate.
Ensure that the heating plates and the cookware are clean.
Soils prevent heat-transfer. Repeatedly burnt-on spillages can often be removed by products, which will damage the environment, only.
Do not uncover the cookware too often (a watched pot-content will never boil!).
Do not open the oven door unnecessarily often.
Switch off the oven in good time and make use of the residual heat.
For long cooking times, switch off the heating zones 5 to 10 minutes before you will finish cooking. This saves up to 20% of energy.
Only use the oven when cooking larger dishes.
Meat of up to 1kg can be cooked more economically in a pan on the hob.
Make use of the residual heat of the oven.
If the cooking time takes longer than 40 minutes switch off the oven 10 minutes before.
→ Make sure the oven door is closed properly.
Heat can escape through spillages on the door seals. Clean up any spillages immediately.
Do not install the cooker near of refrigerators/freezers. Otherwise the energy consumption increases unnecessarily.

WARNING!

Switch off the appliance and let it cool down before cleaning. Disconnect the appliance from the mains before maintenance.

The guarantee claims neither extend the guarantee period nor initiate a new guarantee period. The guarantee period for installed replacement parts ends with the guarantee.

Provided that a product-related malfunction is not covered by this guarantee the vendee has to bear the cost, when the appliance is checked, including any labour costs that may arise.

If the holder of the guarantee has requested repair work, then the holder of the guarantee must be informed about the non-intervention of the guarantee and possible costs, that may arise, and thereafter he must bear all costs for spare parts and wages.

The geographical scope of the guarantee is limited with respect to appliances, which are purchased and used in Germany, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.
