Operation
About the Appliance
Behind the classic design is modern and perfected technology that ensures a high degree of efficiency. For instance, we have further improved the distribution of heat in the oven by using newly designed elements. The advantage of this results in shorter cooking times, perfect results and lower energy costs.
This oven is very convenient and easy to operate, even with the wide variety of options. The cooking mode and temperature can be adjusted with very little effort. The additional functions such as Cook Time can be set at the touch of a button in just a few seconds, and the display always presents the most important information while you are cooking.
Operating the Oven

Tips
•Preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it.
•Baking time will vary with the size, shape and finish of the bakeware. Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook faster with darker results. Insulated bakeware will lengthen the cook time for most foods.
•For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least
•Eliminate heat loss from the oven by using the window to periodically check food for doneness instead of opening the door.
If multiple racks are necessary, use a maximum of 2 racks. For cakes use rack positions 2 and 5, for cookies use rack positions 1 and 4. Stagger pans so that one is not directly above the other (see graphic below). See "Pan Placement" under "General Tips" for more info. You may also consider using a convection mode.
