Operating Instructions 1 Safety instructions 5 This appliance conforms with the following EU Directives: – 73/23/EEC dated 19.02.1973 Low Voltage Directive – 89/336/EEC dated 03.05.1989 EMC Directive inclusive of Amending Directive 92/31/EEC – 93/68/EEC dated 22.07.1993 CE Marking Directive Electrical safety • This appliance must be only connected by a registered electrician. • In the event of a fault or damage to the appliance: Take the fuses out or switch off.
How to avoid damage to the appliance • Do not line the oven with aluminium foil and do not place baking trays, pots, etc. on the oven floor, as the heat that builds up will damage the oven enamel. • Fruit juices dripping from the baking tray will leave stains, which you will not be able to remove. For very moist cakes, use a deep tray. • Do not put any strain on the oven door when open. • Never pour water directly into the oven when it is hot. This could cause damage to or discoloration of the enamel.

Uses, Tables and Tips Cooking table The information given in the following table is for guidance only. Heat setting Cookingprocess Cooking time Tips/Hints Residual heat, Off position 0 1 suitable for 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.
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 or Conventional Baking tins • For Conventional , dark metal and non-stick tins are suitable. • For Fan-assisted circulation bright metal tins are also suitable.
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 Rothitherm 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.

Wide grilling 1 3 Oven function: Dual gril with maximum temperature setting Important: Always grill with the oven door closed. The empty oven should always be pre-heated with the grill functions for 5 minutes. • For grilling, use both the oven shelf and the roasting tray together. • The grilling times are guidelines. • Grilling is particularly suitable for flat pieces of meat or fish. Grilling table Food to be grilled Oven level Grilling time 1. Side 2. Side Burgers 4 8-10 mins. 6-8 mins.
Defrosting Oven function: Defrost (no temperature setting) • Unwrap the food and place it on a plate on the oven shelf. • Do not cover with a plate or bowl, as these can substantially lengthen the defrosting time. • For defrosting, place the shelf in the 1st oven level from the bottom.
Making Preserves Oven function: Bottom heat • For preserving, use only commercially available preserve jars of the same size. • Jars with twist-off or bayonet type lids and metal tins are not suitable. • When making preserves, the first shelf position from the bottom is the one most used. • Use the shelf for making preserves. There is enough room on this for up to six 1-litre preserving jars. • The jars should all be filled to the same level and clamped shut.
Preserves table The times and temperatures for making preserves are for guidance only. Preserve Temperature in°C Cooking time until simmering in mins. Continue to cook at 100°C in mins.

Oven door glass 1 1 The oven door is fitted with four sheets of glass set next to one another. The inner sheets can be removed for cleaning. Caution: The following steps are to be performed only when the oven door has been removed. If the glass is removed while the door is attached, the leighter weight may cause it to spring up and cause injury. Important! Rough handling of the glass, especially at the edges of the front plate, may cause it to break. Removing the upper-most glass plate 1.
Replacing the centre glass plates 1. From above, insert the centre plates obliquely into the retaining frame at the handle, one after another. 2. Lower the centre plates down and push them towards the lower edge of the door as far under the retaining frame as they will go. Replacing the upper glass plate 1. From above, insert the upper-most plate obliquely into the retaining frame at the handle. 2. Lower the plate.
