4. Operating Instructions
Initial Use:
Before cooking food, heat the empty oven for approximately 30 minutes at maximum temperature (e.g., 250°C) using a conventional heating function. This helps to burn off any manufacturing residues and odors. Ensure the room is well-ventilated during this process.
Control Panel:
The oven features a digital display and touch controls. Use the function selector to choose the desired cooking mode and the temperature/time controls to set the parameters. Refer to the icons on the control panel for specific functions.
Cooking Functions:
- Conventional Cooking: Heat from top and bottom elements. Ideal for baking cakes and roasting meat.
- Fan-Assisted Cooking: Heat distributed evenly by a fan. Suitable for cooking multiple dishes simultaneously.
- Grill: For grilling toast, sausages, or browning dishes.
- Eco Fan Heating: Energy-efficient cooking mode.
- Defrost: Uses the fan to circulate air at room temperature for gentle defrosting.
Pyrolytic Self-Cleaning:
The pyrolytic cleaning function heats the oven to a very high temperature (approx. 480°C), turning food residues into ash. This ash can then be easily wiped away once the oven has cooled.
- Remove all accessories (racks, trays, side supports) from the oven cavity.
- Wipe away any large spills or loose debris.
- Close the oven door securely.
- Select the pyrolytic cleaning function on the control panel and start the cycle.
- The oven door will lock automatically during the cycle and remain locked until the oven has cooled down to a safe temperature.
- Once the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, wipe the interior with a damp cloth to remove the ash.
Warning: Do not attempt to open the oven door during the pyrolytic cleaning cycle. Ensure good ventilation during and after the cycle.
5. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your oven.
Exterior Cleaning:
- Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft cloth and mild detergent.
- For stainless steel surfaces, use a specialized stainless steel cleaner and polish in the direction of the grain.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals that can damage the finish.
Interior Cleaning (Non-Pyrolytic):
- For light soiling, clean the interior with warm soapy water and a soft sponge.
- For stubborn stains, use an oven cleaner specifically designed for electric ovens, following the product instructions carefully.
- Ensure the oven is completely cool before cleaning.
Accessories:
Oven racks and trays can be washed in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher.
