Familiarising yourself with your appliance en Symbol Name Explanation Min. - max. Temperature The appliance is on. The cooking compartment temper- ature is set in °C. Grill, large area The grill is on. 4.2 Types of heating and functions To ensure that you always use the right type of heating to cook your food, we have explained the differences and ap- plications below. Symbol Type of heating or function Temperature or setting Use for boiling down, for dishes in a bain marie. The fan cir- culates the hot air around the food. Note: You cannot use the air recirculation and the grill at the same time. Bottom heating 130-260 °C Prepare cakes and baked items, bakes, poultry and lean joints.

To switch on the bottom heating, set the temperat- ure. The heat is emitted from below. Full-surface grill Grill flat items, such as steak, sausages or toast and gratinate. The entire area below the grill element be- comes hot. Rotary spit Roasts, rolled roasting joints and poultry Interior lighting - Switch the interior lighting on. 4.3 Cooking compartment In most operating modes, the interior lighting switches on as soon as operation starts. The interior lighting switches off again when operation stops. The functions in the cooking compartment make your appliance easier to use. Shelf positions The cooking compartment has 5 shelf positions.

Always insert the accessory as far as it will go so that the accessory does not touch the door panel. Slide the accessory into the cooking compartment correctly. Cooling fan The cooling fan switches on and off as required. The hot air escapes via the appliance door. ATTENTION! Covering the ventilation slots will cause the appliance to overheat. ▶ Do not cover the ventilation slots. To cool the cooking compartment more quickly after operation, the cooling fan continues to run for a certain period afterwards. Condensation This section tells you how condensation is formed, how you can prevent damage, and how you can prevent condensation from forming.

When you are cooking food in the cooking compart- ment, a lot of steam may form in the cooking compart- ment. Since your appliance is extremely energy-effi- cient, only a small amount of heat escapes during op- eration. Due to the significant differences in temperat- ure between the appliance interior and the external parts of the appliance, condensation may build up on the appliance door, the control panel or the front pan- els of adjacent kitchen units. The formation of condens- ation is a normal physical phenomenon. In order to prevent damage, wipe away the condensa- tion. If condensation collects in the drip trough, remove the condensation with a sponge.

An overflowing drip trough may damage the fitted unit. Leave the appliance to dry with the door open. When you preheat the appliance, you reduce the build- up of condensation. Self-cleaning surfaces The back wall and side panels of the cooking compart- ment are self-cleaning. The self-cleaning surfaces in the cooking compartment are coated with a porous, matt ceramic layer and have a rough surface. When the ap- pliance is in operation, the self-cleaning surfaces ab- sorb splashes from roasting or grilling and break them down. Interior lighting When you open the appliance door, the interior lighting switches on. 7 Air recirculation 130-260 °C For adding extra baking time (e.g.
