Before Using for the first time Setting and changing the time 3 The oven only operates when the time has been set. When the appliance has been connected to the electrical supply or when there has been a power cut, the function indicator Time flashes automatically. 1. To change a time that has already been set, press the Selection button repeatedly until the function indicator Time flashes. 2. Using the or button, set the current time. After approx.
Initial Cleaning 1 3 You should clean the appliance thoroughly before using for the first time. Wipe the glass ceramic cooking surface with a damp cloth. Attention: Do not use sharp or abrasive cleaning materials. These could damage the surface. For appliances with metal fronts, use normal commercially available cleaning agents. 1. Turn the oven functions dial to Light . 2. Remove all accessories and the side rails and clean with warm water and washing-up liquid. 3.
Operating the hob 3 When a cooking zone is switched on, it may hum briefly. This is a characteristic of all ceramic glass cooking zones and does not impair either the function or the life of the appliance. Heat settings • Heat settings can be set from 1-9. • Intermediate positions are possible for settings 2-7. 2 1 = lowest output 9 = highest output = double ring switching Switch the cooking zone off approx. 5-10 minutes before cooking is finished to make use of the residual heat. This saves electricity.
Setting the heat setting 1. Select the heat setting. 3 2. To end the cooking process, turn back to the Off position. The corresponding ring pilot light is lit while the ring is operating. Switching on the dual fry/cook area 1 3 The control for the dual fry/cook area is switched on by turning to the right, and cannot be turned past the stop! 1. Turn the dual fry/cook control to the right. Continue turning to Position 9, and onto the symbol (you will feel a slight resistance).

Oven Functions The oven has the following functions: Oven function 16 Application Heating element/ fan Light Using this function you can light up the oven interior, e.g. for cleaning. --- Fan-assisted circulation For baking on up to two oven levels. Set the oven temperatures 20-40 °C lower than when using Conventional. Top heat, bottomheat, fan Fan cooking For baking on up to three oven levels at the same time. Set the oven temperatures 20-40 °C lower than when using Conventional.
Inserting the shelf, baking tray and roasting pan 3 Anti-tip device All insertable components have a small curved indentation on their left and right edges. This indentation serves as an anti-tip device and must always point towards the back of the oven. Inserting the baking tray or roasting pan: The anti-tip device must point towards the back of the oven. Inserting the shelf: Insert the shelf so that the two guide bars point upwards.
Inserting/Removing the Grease Filter Only use the grease filter when roasting to protect the rear heating elements from fat splashes. Inserting the grease filter Hold the grease filter by the grip and insert the two mounts downwards into the opening on the rear wall of theoven (fan opening). Taking out the grease filter Hold the grease filter by the grip and unhook it.

Uses, Tables and Tips Pans • You can recognise good pans by their bases. The base should be as thick and flat as possible. • Pay particular attention when buying new pans to the diameter of the base. Manufacturers often give only the diameter of the upper rim. • Pots with aluminium or copper bases can cause metallic discolouring on the ceramic glass surface, which is very difficult or impossible to remove. • Do not use cast iron pans or pans with a rough, burred or damaged base.
Cooking table The information given in the following table is for guidance only. Heat setting Cookingprocess Tips/Hints Keeping food warm Keeping cooked foods warm as required Cover Melting Hollandaise sauce, melting butter, chocolate, gelatine 5-25 mins. Stir occasionally Solidifying Fluffy omelettes, baked eggs 10-40 mins. Cook with lid on 1-2 Simmering rice and milkAdd at least twice as based dishes much liquid as rice, stir 25-50 mins.
3 1 We recommend when boiling or searing foods using the highest heat setting at first and then letting foods requiring a longer cooking time finish cooking on the desired heat setting. Overheated fats and oils can ignite quickly. If you are cooking foods in fat or oil (e.g. chips), remain nearby.
Baking Oven function: Fan-assisted circulation Conventional , Fan cooking 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 possible 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.
3 2 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. When frozen foods are used the trays inserted may distort during cooking. This is due to the large difference in temperature between the freezing temperature and the temperature in the oven.

Roasting Oven function: Conventional or Rotitherm 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.
