Losses resulting from damage caused by incorrect connection will invalidate warranty claims. Electrical connection Safety information This appliance is intended only for domestic use. This appliance must only be used for food preparation. Adults and children must not operate the appliance without supervision - if they are physically or mentally incapable of doing so - or if they lack the knowledge and experience required to operate the appliance correctly and safely. Never let children play with the appliance. Children d Children may prepare meals only if they have been properly instructed. They must be able to operate the appliance correctly.

Do not place dishes on the oven floor. This will cause heat accumulation. The baking and roasting times will no longer be correct and the enamel will be damaged. Never pour water directly into a hot oven. This could damage the enamel. When baking very moist fruit cakes, do not put too much on the baking sheet. Fruit juice dripping from the baking sheet leaves stains that cannot be removed. It is recommended that you use the deeper universal pan. Only leave the oven to cool with the door closed. Do not allow anything to become trapped in the oven door. Even if you only leave the oven door open slightly, the fronts of adjacent units may become damaged over time. If the oven seal is very dirty, the oven door will no longer close properly when the oven is in use. The fronts of adjacent units could be damaged. Keep the oven seal clean. Do not stand or sit on the oven door. Do not hold or carry the cooker by the door handle. The door handle cannot hold the weight of the cooker and may break off. Water in the oven Fruit juice Cooling with the oven door open Very dirty oven seal Using the oven door as a seat Transporting the cooker 6 Your new cooker Here you will learn more about your new oven.

You can therefore select the best method for cooking any dish. Top/bottom heating This ensures the even distribution of heat onto the cake or roast from the top and bottom of the oven. This type of heating is best for cake mixtures in tins or for bakes. Top/bottom heating is also suitable for cooking lean roasts of beef, veal and game. 3D hot air A fan in the rear panel distributes the heat from the ring heating element evenly inside the oven. Using 3D hot air, it is possible to bake cakes and pizza on two shelves. You can cook biscuits and puff pastry on three levels at the same time. The required oven temperatures are lower than those for top/bottom heating. Additional baking trays may be obtained from specialist shops. 3D hot air is ideal for drying food. Bottom heating You can reheat or brown meals using bottom heating. It is also the most suitable type of heating for drying food. 9 Hot air grilling This type of heating involves the grill element and the fan switching on and off alternately. During the pause in heating, the fan circulates the heat generated by the grill around the food. This ensures that pieces of meat are crisped and brown on all sides. Radiant grilling The entire area under the grill element becomes hot. This is ideal if you wish to cook several steaks, sausages, fish or slices of toast. Oven and shelving accessories The shelf can be inserted at 5 different heights in the oven. Maximum pull out point You can remove the shelf two thirds of the way without it tipping. Food can therefore easily be removed without the need to reach into a hot oven. Accessories Accessories may be purchased at a later date from the after sales service or from specialist shops.
