							Cleaning and heating up for
the first time
Before use, please remove
– any stickers from the oven and
from any accessories.
– any protective foil from the
oven front.
See "Cleaning and care" for more
information.
Before using the oven for the first time
–takeall accessoriesout of the oven
and wash them.
– thenheat the oven up once with
nothing in it. New ovens have a
slight smell on first use and this will
dissipate the smells before you use it
to cook food.
Before heating the oven up it is a
good idea to wipe the interior out with
a damp cloth. This way any dust or
bits of packaging that may have
accumulated in the oven cavity
during storage and unpacking will be
removed.

Press and release the function
selector and the temperature
selector.

Use the function selector to select
"Fan plus".
The recommended temperature of
160 °C will appear.

Use the temperature selector to set
the highest temperature (250 °C).The oven will start heating up as soon
as this entry has been accepted.
Heat the empty oven for at least an
hour.
Please ensure the kitchen is well
ventilated during this operation.
Close doors to other rooms to
prevent the smell spreading
throughout the house.
The timer can also be used to set the
finish time. See "Entering a cooking
duration".
Leave the appliance to cool down to
room temperature.
Then wipe the oven interior out with a
solution of hot water and a mild
detergent and then dry it thoroughly
with a soft clean cloth.
Leave the oven door open until the
oven interior is completely dry.

Pre-heating
Most dishes can be placed in a cold
oven. They will then make use of the
heat produced during the heating
phase.
It is only necessary to pre-heat the oven
in a few instances:
WithFan plus,
–pre-heating may be necessary for
foods which cook in less than 20
minutes and for foods such as puff
pastries and yeast mixtures where
instant heat is required to make them
rise quickly.
– for roasting beef/fillet.
WithConventional heat
– it is usually necessary to pre-heat the
oven.
Do not use Rapid heat-up
to
pre-heat the oven when baking
pizzas or biscuits and small cakes.
They will brown too quickly.
To pre-heat the oven:

Select Rapid heat-up
and set a
temperature.

When the temperature indicator
lightgoes out for the first time, set
the oven function you require for
continued cooking or baking, and
place the food in the oven.
