							Oven controls
In addition to operating the various
cooking programmes to bake, roast
and grill, the controls also offer the
following:
–a time of day display,
–a minute minder,
–a timer for programming cooking
durations,
–user programmes,
–automatic programmes,
–settings that can be customised.
Auto sensor
This sensor controls
– the cooking duration of the automatic
programmes. This will be indicated in
the display.
– the cooling fan run-on time.
– the duration of the pyrolytic cleaning
process.
Safety features
System lock
The system lockprevents the oven
from being used unintentionally by
children, for example. See Settings -
Safety.
In operation lock
The reaction time when the sensors are
touched can be extended in order, for
example, to prevent the appliance
being switched off unintentionally. See
Settings – Safety.Safety switch-off
Safety switch-off is triggered
automatically if the oven is operated for
an unusually long period of time. The
period of time will depend on the oven
function selected.
Cooling fans
The cooling fans will come on
automatically when a cooking
programme is started. The cooling fans
mix hot air from the oven cavity with
cool room air before venting it out into
the kitchen through vents located
between the appliance door and the
control panel.
The cooling fans will continue to run for
a while after the oven has been
switched off to prevent any humidity
building up in the oven, on the control
panel or on the oven housing unit.
Vented oven door
The oven door is an open system and
some of the door panes have a
heat-reflecting coating. During
operation, cool air is passed through
the oven door to keep the outer pane
cool.
If necessary, the oven door can be
dismantled for cleaning.
Door lock for pyrolytic operation
For safety reasons the door locks as
soon as the pyrolytic cleaning
programme starts. After the pyrolytic
programme has finished, the door will
remain locked until the temperature in
the oven has dropped below 280°C.

							Energy saving features
Lighting
The oven lighting is set to switch off
15 seconds after the start of a cooking
programme (default setting). See
Settings - Lighting.
Door contact switch
If the oven door is opened during
operation, the door contact switch
automatically switches off the heating
elements and the fan, if a Fan setting
is being used. This helps reduce the
amount of heat lost from the oven
interior, e.g. when basting roast meat.
At the same time, the oven lighting is
switched on.
Using residual heat
The oven heating switches off
automatically shortly before the end of a
cooking programme where the cooking
duration has been programmed or the
food probe is being used. The residual
heat in the oven is sufficient to complete
the cooking process.
Energy save will appear in the display.
The cooling fans continue to run, as
does the hot air fan if a Fan setting
has been chosen.
Energy save mode
The oven switches off automatically to
save energy if, at the end of an Auto-
matic programme or a cooking
programme with Automatic switch-off,
no other cooking function is selected
within a certain time period.This time period depends on the
settings selected (cooking function,
temperature, cooking duration).
Either the time of day is displayed or
the display is dark: see Settings - Time
- Display.

iridescent appearance.
See Cleaning and care for more
information.
Pyrolytic cleaning

							Universal tray and rack with anti-tip
safety notches
The universal tray and rack are inserted
into the oven between the two rails of a
shelf runner.
Both the universal tray and rack have
non-tip safety notches which prevent
them being pulled right out when they
only need to be partially pulled out.
When pushing the rack back in,
always ensure that the safety
notches are at the rear of the oven
(see illustration).They can then only be taken out of the
oven by raising them upwards and then
pulling them out.
If you are using a tray with the rack on
top, insert the tray between the rails of
a shelf runner and the rack will sit on
top of it.
Anti-splash insert
The anti-splash insert should be placed
in the universal tray when grilling or
roasting.
The juices from the food being cooked
collect under the anti-splash tray. This
prevents them from spitting and making
the oven dirty. The juices can then be
used for making gravy and sauces.

To prevent the risk of a rack or tray
sliding off the runners, make sure that
they are sitting securely on their
runners in between the stoppers at
either end of each runner.
