Operating Instructions  
1 Safety instructions  
5 This appliance conforms with the following EU Directives:  
73/23/EEC dated 19.02.1973 Low Voltage Directive  
89/336/EEC dated 03.05.1989 EMC Directive inclusive of Amending  
Directive 92/31/EEC  
93/68/EEC dated 22.07.1993 CE Marking Directive  
Electrical safety  
This appliance must be only connected by a registered electrician.  
In the event of a fault or damage to the appliance: Take the fuses out  
or switch off.  
Repairs to the appliance must only be carried out by qualified serv-  
ice engineers. Considerable danger may result from improper repairs.  
If repairs become necessary, please contact our Customer Services or  
your dealer.  
Child Safety  
Never leave children unsupervised when the appliance is in use.  
Safety whilst Using  
This appliance is intended to be used for cooking, frying and baking  
food in the home.  
Take care when connecting electric appliances to sockets nearby. Do  
not allow connecting leads to come into contact with hot rings or to  
catch beneath the hot oven door.  
Warning: Risk of burns! The interior of the oven becomes hot dur-  
ing use.  
Using ingredients containing alcohol in the oven may create an alco-  
hol-air mixture that is easily ignited. In this case, open the door care-  
fully. Do not have embers, sparks or naked flames in the vicinity when  
opening the door.  
3 Information on acrylamides  
According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of  
food, especially in products containing starch, can constitute a health  
risk due to acrylamides. Therefore we recommend cooking at the lowest  
possible temperatures and not browning foods too much.  
5
 
How to avoid damage to the appliance  
Do not line the oven with aluminium foil and do not place baking  
trays, pots, etc. on the oven floor, as the heat that builds up will dam-  
age the oven enamel.  
Fruit juices dripping from the baking tray will leave stains, which you  
will not be able to remove. For very moist cakes, use a deep tray.  
Do not put any strain on the oven door when open.  
Never pour water directly into the oven when it is hot. This could  
cause damage to or discoloration of the enamel.  
Rough handling, especially around the edges of the front panel, can  
cause the glass to break.  
Do not store any flammable materials inside the oven. These could ig-  
nite when the oven is switched on.  
Do not store any moist foods inside the oven. This could damage the  
oven enamel.  
3 Note on enamel coating  
Changes in the colour of the oven’s enamel coating as a result of use do  
not affect the appliance’s suitability for normal and correct use. They  
therefore do not constitute a defect in the sense of the warranty law.  
Disposal  
2 Packaging material  
The packaging materials are environmentally friendly and can be recy-  
cled. The plastic components are identified by markings, e.g. >PE<,

fat or oil (e.g. chips), remain nearby.

Baking  
Oven function: Fan-assisted circulation , Fan cooking  
Conventional  
or  
.
Baking tins  
For Conventional , dark metal and non-stick tins are suitable.  
For Fan-assisted circulation or Fan cooking , bright metal tins  
are also suitable.  
Oven levels  
Baking with Conventional and Fan-assisted circulation is possi-  
ble on one oven level.  
With Fan cooking you can bake on up to 3 baking trays at the  
same time:  
1 baking tray:  
e.g. oven level 3  
1 baking tin:  
e.g. oven level 1  
2 baking trays:  
e. g. oven levels 1 and 3  
3 baking trays:  
oven levels 1, 3 and 5  
26  
 
General Instructions  
Insert the tray with the bevel at the front.  
With Conventional or Fan-assisted circulation you can also  
bake with two tins next to one another on the oven shelf at the same  
time. This does not significantly increase baking time.  
3 When frozen foods are used the trays inserted may distort during cook-  
ing. This is due to the large difference in temperature between the  
freezing temperature and the temperature in the oven. Once the trays  
have cooled the distortion will disappear again.  
How to use the Baking Tables  
The tables give the required temperature settings, baking times and  
oven shelf levels for a selection of typical dishes.  
Temperatures and baking times are for guidance only, as these will  
depend on the consistency of pastry or mixture, the number and the  
type of cake tin.  
We recommend using the lower temperature the first time and then  
if necessary, for example, if a deeper browning is required, or baking  
time is too long, selecting a higher temperature.  
If you cannot find the settings for a particular recipe, look for the  
one that is most similar.  
If baking cakes on baking trays or in tins on more than one level, bak-  
ing time can be extended by 10-15 minutes.  
Moist recipes (for example, pizzas, fruit flans, etc.) are baked on one  
level.  
Cakes and pastries at different heights may brown at an uneven rate  
at first. If this occurs, please do not change the temperature set-  
ting. Different rates of browning even out as baking progresses.  
2 With longer baking times, you can switch the oven off about 10 min-  
utes before the end of the baking time, in order to utilise the residual  
heat.  
Unless otherwise stated, the values given in the tables assume that  
cooking is started with the oven cold.

Roasting  
Oven function: Conventional  
or Rothitherm  
Insert the grease filter when roasting!  
Roasting dishes  
Any heat-resistant ovenware is suitable to use for roasting (please  
read the manufacturer's instructions).  
Large roasting joints can be roasted directly in the roasting tray or  
on the oven shelf with the roasting tray placed below it.  
For all lean meats, we recommend roasting these in a roasting tin  
with a lid. This will keep the meat more succulent.  
All types of meat, that can be browned or have crackling, can be  
roasted in the roasting tin without the lid.  
3 Tips on using the roasting chart  
The information given in the following table is for guidance only.  
We recommend cooking meat and fish weighing 1 kg and above in  
the oven.  
To prevent escaping meat juices or fat from burning on to the pan,  
we recommend placing some liquid in the roasting pan.  
If required, turn the roast (after 1/2 - 2/3 of the cooking time).  
Baste large roasts and poultry with their juices several times during  
roasting. This will give better roasting results.  
You can switch the oven off about 10 minutes before the end of the  
roasting time, in order to utilise the residual heat.

Making Preserves  
Oven function: Bottom heat  
For preserving, use only commercially available preserve jars of the  
same size.  
Jars with twist-off or bayonet type lids and metal tins are not  
suitable.  
When making preserves, the first shelf position from the bottom is  
the one most used.  
Use the shelf for making preserves. There is enough room on this for  
up to six 1-litre preserving jars.  
The jars should all be filled to the same level and clamped shut.  
Place the jars on the baking tray in such a way that they are not  
touching each other.  
Pour approx. 1/2 litre of water into the baking tray so that sufficient  
moisture is produced in the oven.  
As soon as the liquid starts to pearl in the first jars (after about 35-  
60 minutes with 1 litre jars), switch the oven off or reduce the tem-  
perature to 100°C (see table).

The oven door is fitted with three glass panels mounted one behind the  
other. The inner panels may be removed for cleaning.  
1 Warning: Carry out the following steps only when the oven door is un-  
hinged! When left on its hinges, the door could rise rapidly due to the  
lighter weight when the glass is removed and could cause injury.  
1 Important: Using force, especially on the edges of the front glass pan-  
el, may break the glass.  
Removing the top door glass  
1.Unhinge the oven door and place it
