WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN
THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
WARNING
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the
oven. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat,
causing a fire hazard.
a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid,
cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the
burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If
the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE
AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be
burned.
c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths
or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.
d) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
If materials inside an oven or warming drawer should
ignite, keep door closed. Turn off the appliance and
disconnect the circuit at the circuit breaker box.
WARNING
‒ You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher,
and you already know how to operate it.
‒ The fire is small and contained in the area
where it started.
‒ The fire department is being called.
‒ You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual. NEVER use this appliance
as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so
may result in overheating the appliance. Never use the
appliance for storage.
Always have a working smoke detector near the
kitchen.
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,
drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available,
nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Burn Prevention
Child Safety
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR
INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN - Heating elements
may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior
surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause
burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials
contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven
until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other
surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to
cause burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent
openings, surfaces near these openings and oven
doors.
When children become old enough to use the
appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents
or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in
safe practices by qualified persons.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang
on any part of an appliance, especially a door,
warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage
the appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially
causing severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless
closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets
should not be left alone or unattended in the area
where the appliance is in use. They should never be
allowed to play in its vicinity, whether or not the
appliance is in use.
Exercise caution when opening the appliance.
Standing to the side, open the door (or drawer) slowly
and slightly to let hot air and/or steam escape. Keep
your face clear of the opening and make sure there
are no children or pets near the unit. After the release
of hot air and/or steam, proceed with your cooking.
Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or
cleaning purposes. Do not leave open doors
unattended.
CAUTION
Items of interest to children should not be stored in an
appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the
backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to
reach items could be seriously injured.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-
up of pressure may cause the container to burst and
cause injury.
Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol
content (e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven.
Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. There is a
risk of burning as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in
the oven. Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods,
and open the oven door carefully.
Always place oven racks in desired location while
oven is cool. Always use oven mitts, when the oven is
warm. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do
not let potholder contact the heating elements.
CAUTION
To avoid possible injury or damage to the appliance,
ensure rack is installed exactly per installation
instructions and not backwards or upside down.
Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth.
Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie
long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not
wear loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such
as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.

Cleaning Safety
State of California Proposition 65
Warnings
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe
Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires
the Governor of California to publish a list of
WARNING
substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm, and requires
businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to
such substances. The burning of gas cooking fuel and
the elimination of soil during self-cleaning can
generate some by-products which are on the list. To
minimize exposure to these substances, always
operate this unit according to the instructions
contained in this booklet and provide good ventilation.
This product contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks and
will not open. If the door does not lock, do not run
Self-Clean. Contact service.
Wipe out excessive spillage before self-cleaning the
oven.
Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems. Keep
pet birds out of the kitchen or other rooms where
kitchen fumes could reach them. During self-clean,
fumes are released that may be harmful to birds.
Other kitchen fumes such as overheating margarines
and cooking oils may also be harmful.
Keep oven free from grease build up.
Cookware Safety
NOTICE: Do not place food directly on oven bottom.
Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using
cooking or roasting bags.
Do not clean parts or accessories in the self-clean
oven.

Causes of damage
Protecting the environment
NOTICES:
Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in
line with environmental requirements.
▯
Accessories, foil, baking paper or cookware on
the bottom of the oven interior: do not place any
accessories on the bottom of the oven interior. Do
not line the bottom of the oven interior with any
type of foil whatever or baking paper. Do not
place cookware on the bottom of the oven interior
when a temperature above 122°F (50 °C) is set.
This produces a build-up of heat. Baking and
roasting times are no longer correct and the
enamel is damaged.
Tips for saving energy
▯
▯
▯
Open the appliance door as little as possible
while cooking, baking or roasting.
Use dark, black-painted or enameled baking
forms. These absorb the heat particularly well.
It is best to bake several cakes in succession. The
oven is still warm. This shortens the baking time
for the second cake. You can also slide in two loaf
tins next to each other.
▯
Water in the hot oven interior: Never pour water
into the hot oven interior. Steam is produced.
Damage to the enamel can arise due to the
temperature change.
▯
▯
In the hot air mode, you can bake simultaneously
on several levels.
▯
▯
▯
Do not leave moist groceries in a closed oven for
an extended period of time. It can lead to
corrosion inside the oven.
For longer cooking times, you can switch off the
oven 10 minutes before the end of the cooking
time and you can use the residual heat to finish
cooking.
Fruit juice can leave stains in the oven. Always
remove fruit juice immediately and wipe up first
with a damp and then a dry cloth.
Cooling with the appliance door open: only allow
the oven cavity to cool when it is closed. Even if
the appliance door is only open a little, front
panels of adjacent units could be damaged over
time.
▯
Highly soiled door seal: the appliance door will no
longer close properly during operation if the door
seal is highly soiled. Adjoining furniture fronts
may be damaged. Always keep the door seal
clean.
▯
▯
▯
Appliance door as a seat or storage surface: do
not stand, sit or hang on the appliance door. Do
not place any cookware or accessories on the
appliance door.
Inserting accessories: depending on the
appliance type, accessories can scratch the door
pane when closing the appliance door. Always
slide accessories fully into the oven interior.
Do not hold or carry the appliance by the door
handle. The door handle cannot carry the weight
of the device and could break off.

Microfiber cloth
Self-clean (pyrolysis)
The honeycomb-structure microfiber cloth is
particularly suitable for cleaning sensitive surfaces
such as glass, glass ceramics, stainless steel or
aluminum (order No. 460770 available from after-sales
service or in the online shop). It removes watery and
greasy soiling in one go.
During self-clean (pyrolysis), the oven heats up to
905°F (485°C). Thus, remainders from roasting,
grilling or baking are burnt up and all you have to do is
wipe the ash out of the interior.
Self-clean (pyrolysis) takes three hours. You can move
the self-clean switch-off time (for example, if you
would like it to run at night).

Tables and tips
Notes
‒
‒
Pay attention to only opening the door of the
preheated oven briefly and to filling the appliance
swiftly.
‒
The specified values are for your orientation. The
temperature and duration depend on the quality
and condition of foods.
Temperature ranges are specified in the tables.
We recommend that you begin for the first time
with the lowest temperature. If required, set it
higher the next time. A lower temperature
produces more even browning.
‒
Always preheat the oven. This ensures you
achieve the best cooking results.
The specified cooking times apply to a preheated
appliance.
‒
The recommended mode is printed in bold.
Baking table
▯
We advise you to use dark, metal bake pans
because they absorb heat better.
▯
Raising dough (proofing):
‒ Set the dough proofing mode. The basic
temperature setting is 100° F (38°C).
‒ Set 100 - 104° F (38-40°C) for large volumes
(e.g. bread). This will ensure that the dough
rises evenly from the center to the edge.
‒ You can enter 104 - 113° F (40-45°C) for small
items (such as Schneckennudeln (Swabian
twirls) or bread rolls).
▯
To find out when your cake is ready, pierce it at
the highest point with the small wooden stick at
the end of the baking time. The cake is finished if
dough no longer sticks to the stick.

Baking tips and tricks
What to do if...
The solution
... your cake baked on a tray is too light at the bottom?
Insert the cake one level lower and take accessories that you
don't need out of the oven.
... your cake baked in a tin is too light at the bottom?
Do not insert the cake pan in the oven on the tray, but on the
rack.
... your cake/cookies are too dark at the bottom?
... your cake is too dry?
Insert the cake/cookies at a higher level.
Set the oven temperature slightly higher. Preheat the oven.
... your cake is doughy inside or meat is not done inside?
Set a slightly lower baking or roasting temperature. Note: you
cannot shorten baking or roasting times by increasing tempera-
tures. It is better to choose a slightly longer baking or roasting
time if cake dough is to rise longer.
... your tin-baked or loaf cake is too dark at the back when Don't place the cake pan directly in front of the oven's rear wall,

but in the center.
... the cake collapses?
Next time, use less liquid or set the oven temperature lower by
10°C (approx. 50 °F). Pay attention to the mixing times speci-
fied in the recipe. Do not open the oven door too early.
... the cake has risen in the middle and is lower at the sides? Grease the springform's edge. After baking, loosen the cake
carefully with a knife.
... your cake is too dark at the top?
Insert it at a lower level, choose a lower temperature and bake
the cake slightly longer.
... your cake is too dark at the bottom?
Insert it at a higher level and choose a lower temperature the
next time.
... your fruit flan becomes too light at the bottom and fruit
juice overflows?
You are best advised to use the deeper grill tray for baking next
time.
... your cake is too dry at the bottom?
Use a toothpick to pierce small holes in the finished cake. Then
trickle fruit juice or something alcoholic over it. The next time,
choose a temperature 10°C (approx. 50 °F) higher and shorten
the baking time.

the cookies.
... your cake does not come off when you turn it out?
Carefully loosen the edge with a knife. Turn out the cake again
and cover the tin several times with a wet, cold cloth. Next time,
grease the tin well and additionally scatter breadcrumbs into it.
38
Roasting table
▯
You can basically use any heat-resistant
cookware. Place cookware in the middle of the
rack. For large roasts, you can also use the grill
tray.
▯
▯
Once the roast is finished, you should leave it for
another 10 minutes in the switched off, closed
oven. This way, meat stays juicier.
Poultry becomes particularly crispy brown if you
coat it with butter, salty water, dripped off fat or
orange juice towards the end of the cooking time.
▯
You can remove the side slide-in racks to prepare
bulky food. Place the wire rack directly on the
bottom of the oven and then place the food or the
roaster on the wire rack. Do not place the food or
the roaster directly on the enameled bottom.
▯
▯
In the case of duck or goose, pierce the skin
under the wings to allow the fat to drip off.
Use the insert rack (depending on the version, an
accessory or special accessory) in the grill tray
for roasting. If you add a little water to the grill
tray, the meat juice will be collected and the oven
will stay cleaner.
▯
When removing it, place glass cookware on a dry
dishcloth or rack and not on a cold or wet
surface. The glass could crack.

Grilling table
▯
▯
For roasting use the wire rack that fits the grilling
tray (accessory or special accessory, depending
on the version). Pour a small amount of water into
the grilling tray to collect dripping fat and keep
the oven clean.
9
CAUTION
Only grill with the oven door closed.
The pieces of meat should be evenly thick (at
least 1 - 2 in (2 - 3 cm). Thus they will brown
evenly and remain juicy inside. Do not salt steaks
before grilling. Place the food directly on the wire
rack.

Thawing
Acrylamide in foodstuffs
Which foods are affected?
▯
▯
Set the defrosting mode.
Acrylamide is mainly produced in grain and potato
products that are heated to high temperatures, such
as potato crisps, chips, toast, bread rolls, bread, fine
baked goods (biscuits, gingerbread, cookies).
Put the grill rack with the frozen food on the
second level (with 5 levels on the third level), then
insert the grill pan to catch the defrosting liquids.
▯
Defrost large pieces of meat (roasts, chickens,
etc.) at 115 - 120° F (45 - 50°C) so that the outer
part does not get cooked. Small or flat pieces can
be defrosted at 120 - 130° F (50 - 55°C.)
Tips for keeping acrylamide to a mini-
mum when preparing food
General
Keep cooking times to a minimum. Cook
meals until they are golden brown, but
not too dark. Large, thick pieces of food
contain less acrylamide.
▯
Remove the food from the packaging before
defrosting.
▯
▯
Only defrost the quantity that you need right away.
Baking
With convection max. 355° F (180°C).
Please consider: defrosted food will not last as
long as frozen food and will spoil more quickly
than fresh food. Prepare defrosted food
immediately and cook it thoroughly.
Cookies
Egg or egg yolk reduces the production
of acrylamide. Spread out a single layer
evenly on the baking tray.
Oven fries
Cook at least 400 g at once on a baking
tray so that the fries do not dry out.
9
WARNING
Health risk
When defrosting food from animal sources, you
must remove the liquid that escapes during
defrosting. It must never come into contact with
other food. Bacteria could be transferred.
Insert the grill pan under the food. Throw away
the liquid that collects from defrosting meat and
poultry, then clean the sink thoroughly and rinse
it with a lot of water. Clean the grill pan in hot
soapy water or in the dishwasher. After
defrosting, operate the oven for 15 minutes
using convection at 355° F (180°C).
