Using your oven
General
[Please note the safety instructions on page 3!
[Attention! Risk of overheating! Do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminum foil, or place any kind of pot or pan directly on it. This can
cause heat to build up and it can damage the enamel.
ΦWhen the oven is in use, it becomes hot. In order to cool the housing, the cooling fan is switched on as soon as the housing heats up. The
cooling fan continues to run until the housing has cooled down - even
after the appliance has been switched off. The fan noises are normal.
ΦIf you are preparing a dish with alcohol or yeast as an ingredient, and are using Hot air convection, Intensive hot air convection or Pizza Mode,
there will be a noticeable vinegar odor. If you find the odor disturbing, use Top/Bottom Heat or another alternate mode.
Turning the oven on and off
ΦThe controls are “pop out” in nature and can be locked in every setting. They pop out with a slight press of the finger. No settings can be made
while the controls are locked.
Selecting the operating mode:
– Turn mode selector (upper switch) to the right until the arrow points at the desired mode.
Selecting the temperature:
– Turn temperature controller (lower switch) to the right until the
arrow points at the desired temperature. |

Heating-up indicator and mode indicator
The 
on the control panel will light up while the appliance is heating up and will go out as soon as it reaches the set temperature. It also comes on during operation when the oven is heated to maintain the temperature you want.
The mode indicator is on as long as the oven is in use.
Turning the oven light on and off
The oven lighting stays on when the operating mode switch is up – except on position “0”. The light stays off when the mode switch is depressed.
The oven light functions regardless of which mode is selected. The light can also be turned off while the oven is in use. This will save energy and increase the life of the halogen lamps.
Oven trays to use with rack levels

There are eight levels in the side racks. The rack levels are numbered from 0 to 7 from the bottom up. For example, the drip pan can be inserted into rack level 0.
Side racks:
Rack level 0 is the lowest level possible.
Telescopic glide-out shelves (acc.-no.601)
