Only then will you be able to operate your cooker safely and correctly. Please keep the instruction and installation manual in a safe place. Please pass on the instruction manual to the new owner if you sell the appliance. Before installation Transport damage Check the appliance after unpacking it. Do not connect the appliance if it has been damaged in transport. The cooker may only be connected by an approved specialist. Losses resulting from damage caused by incorrect connection will invalidate warranty claims. Electrical connection Safety information This appliance is intended for domestic use only. Only use the cooker 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. They must understand the hazards indicated in the instruction manual. When children use the appliance, they must be supervised to prevent them from playing with it. 5 Hot oven d Open the oven door carefully. Hot steam may escape. Never touch the internal surfaces of the oven or the heating elements. There is a risk of burning. Children must be kept at a safe distance from the appliance. Never store combustible items in the oven. Risk of fire Never clamp leads of electrical appliances in the hot oven door. The insulation on the leads could melt. There is a risk of short circuiting. Repairs d Incorrectly done repairs are dangerous. There is a risk of electrocution. Repairs may only be carried out by after sales service technicians who have been fully trained by BSH. If there is a fault, switch off the oven fuse at the fuse box. Call the after sales service. Automatic self cleaning d Loose food residue, grease and meat juices may ignite during self cleaning. Risk of fire. Before every self cleaning operation, remove any coarse dirt from the oven. Never hang flammable items, such as tea towels, on the door handle. Risk of fire. The oven exterior will be very hot to the touch during the self cleaning operation. Keep children at a safe distance. Never clean metal sheets and dishes which have been coated with a non stick coating using the oven's automatic self cleaning function (pyrolysis operation). High temperatures can cause poisonous gases to be formed from the non stick coating risk of serious damage to health. 6 Reasons for damage Baking tray, aluminium foil or dishes on the oven floor Do not place the baking tray on the oven floor. Do not cover it with aluminium foil. 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.

This means that the heat is transferred particularly effectively to the items you are baking or roasting. Using CircoTherm hot air, it is possible to bake cakes and pizza on two levels. You can cook biscuits and puff pastry on three levels at the same time. Additional baking trays may be obtained from specialist shops. The required oven temperatures are lower than those for Top/bottom heating. CircoTherm hot air is ideally suited to preserving and defrosting. 10 Top/bottom heating This ensures even distribution of heat onto the cake or roast from the top and bottom of the oven. This type of heating is best for sponge cakes in tins or for bakes. Top and bottom heating is also suitable for cooking lean joints of beef, veal and game. Bottom heating Only the bottom heating element in the oven heats up. You can use Bottom heating for the final baking of dishes that require particular browning on the underside.
