Inserting and Removing Accessories
Inserting the Wire Shelf and Other Accessories
To insert the wire shelf, hold it tilted slightly upwards, rest the raised rear side down first, then slide it horizontally along the runners as far as possible. Other accessories, like the baking tray, are inserted horizontally by sliding them on the runners.
Sliding Shelves and Shelf Guides
Before using the oven, remove the protective tape [a] and protective foil [b] from the sliding runners.
Removing the Sliding Runners [c]
Pull the lower part of the sliding runner to uncouple the lower hooks (1), then pull the runners upwards, removing them from the upper hooks (2).
Refitting the Sliding Runners [d]
Hook the upper hooks on the shelf guides (1), then press the lower part of the sliding runners against the shelf guides until the lower hooks click into place (2).
Removing and Refitting the Shelf Guides
- To remove shelf guides, firmly grip the external part and pull towards you to extract the support and two internal pins from their lodging.
- To refit, position guides near the cavity, insert the two pins into their lodgings, position the external part, insert the support, and press firmly towards the cavity wall to secure.
Using the Grilling Accessory
The Grilling Accessory is compatible with Grill and Turbogrill functions. For optimal performance, arrange food in a single layer inside each grill basket. Insert the lid at the back of the basket at the appropriate height, then adjust at the front. Consider food shrinkage for stability when turning. Insert the frame at level 4, place baskets on it. To avoid smoke and collect fat, place a drip tray with 200 ml of water at level 1. Turn the baskets halfway through cooking using the provided handle. Check food near the end and turn as needed for desired doneness.
Functions
Your oven offers several cooking functions:
- Conventional: For cooking any dish on one shelf.
- Rising: For effectively proofing sweet or savoury dough. Turn the thermostat knob to the [rising symbol] to activate.
- Forced Air: For cooking different foods simultaneously on up to three shelves at the same temperature, without odour transfer.
- Pizza: For baking various types and sizes of pizza and bread. Swapping tray positions halfway through is recommended.
- Eco Forced Air: For cooking roasts and stuffed joints on a single shelf, preventing excessive drying via gentle air circulation. The light remains off but can be switched on. This function is used for energy efficiency declarations.
- Grill: For grilling steaks, kebabs, sausages, cooking vegetables au gratin, or toasting bread. Use a drip tray with 200 ml of water below the wire shelf to collect juices.
- Turbo Grill: For roasting large meat joints (legs, roast beef, chicken). Use a drip tray with 200 ml of water below the wire shelf to collect juices.
- Maxi Cooking XL: For cooking large meat joints (over 2.5kg). Turn and baste meat during cooking to ensure even browning and prevent drying.
- Bread Auto: Automatically selects ideal temperature and baking time for bread. Activate when the oven is cold; the thermostat knob must remain in the [auto symbol] position.
- Pastry Auto: Automatically selects ideal temperature and baking time for cakes. Activate when the oven is cold; the thermostat knob must remain in the [auto symbol] position.
Flexi Clean Pack
- SmartClean: A steam-based low-temperature cleaning cycle that easily removes dirt and food residues. Pour 100-120ml of water into the oven bottom and turn the selection and thermostat knobs to the [SmartClean symbol]. Best used for 35 minutes.
- Automatic Cleaning - Pyro: Eliminates cooking spatters using a high-temperature cycle. Turn the thermostat knob to the [Pyro symbol]. The door locks automatically, and the interior light switches off. The display shows remaining time alternating with "Pyro". The door remains locked until the oven cools to a safe level. Air the room during and after the cycle.
Notes for Pyro Cleaning: Do not activate with limescale residues. Remove all accessories, including shelf guides, before starting. Ensure hob is off if installed below. Remove worst soiling with a damp sponge beforehand. Do not touch the oven during the cycle. Keep children and animals away.
First Time Use
- Setting the Time: When first switched on, press until the [time symbol] appears and hours flash. Use [adjust up] or [adjust down] to set the hour, press to confirm. Minutes will flash; use [adjust up] or [adjust down] to set, then press to confirm. Note: If the [time symbol] flashes (e.g., after power outage), reset the time.
- Set the Power Consumption: By default, the oven is set to >3kW (Hi). To operate at <2.9kW (Lo), turn the selection knob to [power setting symbol], then back to [previous setting symbol]. Immediately press and hold [adjust up] and [adjust down] for five seconds.

The oven is off when the selection knob is at "0".
- Programming Cooking: First, select a function.
- Duration: Keep pressing until the [duration symbol] and "00:00" flash. Use [adjust up] or [adjust down] to set the cooking time, then press to confirm.

Use [adjust up] or [adjust down] to set the end time, then press to confirm. Activate by setting the thermostat knob to the desired temperature. The function pauses and starts automatically to finish at the set time. Note: To cancel, turn the selection knob to [off position]. Delay start is not available for Grill and Turbo Grill.
- Timer: This option does not affect cooking but uses the display as a timer. Keep pressing until the [timer symbol] and "00:00" flash.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Ensure the oven has cooled down before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning. Do not use steam cleaners. Wear protective gloves. Disconnect the oven from the power supply before any maintenance.
Do not use wire wool, abrasive scourers, or corrosive cleaning agents, as they can damage appliance surfaces.
Exterior Surfaces
Clean surfaces with a damp microfibre cloth. For heavy dirt, use a few drops of pH-neutral detergent, then dry with a cloth. Avoid corrosive or abrasive detergents.
Interior Surfaces
- Allow the oven to cool after each use, then clean, preferably while still warm, to remove food residue deposits or stains.
- To dry condensation from high-water-content foods, let the oven cool completely and wipe with a cloth or sponge.
- For stubborn interior dirt, run the automatic cleaning function. Do not start Pyro cleaning with limescale residues; remove them first.
- The door can be removed and refitted to facilitate glass cleaning.
- Clean the door glass with a suitable liquid detergent.
Accessories
Soak accessories in detergent solution after use. Use oven gloves if accessories are hot. Remove food residues with a washing-up brush or sponge.
Removing and Refitting the Door
- To remove the door, open it fully and lower the catches until unlocked.
- Close the door as much as possible, holding it firmly with both hands (not by the handle). Pull upwards (a) while continuing to close it until it detaches from its seating (b). Place the door on a soft surface.
- To refit, move the door towards the oven, align hinge hooks with seating, and secure the upper part.
- Lower the door, open it fully, and lower the catches to their original position, ensuring they are fully lowered.
- Try closing the door and check alignment with the control panel. Repeat steps if misaligned.
Replacing the Lamp
- Disconnect the oven from the power supply.
- Unscrew the light cover, replace the bulb, and screw the cover back on.
- Reconnect the oven to the power supply.
Use 25W/230V type G9, T300°C halogen lamps. Do not handle bulbs with bare hands. Do not use the oven until the light cover is refitted.
Cleaning of the Door Glass
- After removing the door and placing it on a soft surface handle-down, simultaneously press the two retaining clips. Pull the upper edge of the door towards you to remove it.
- Lift and firmly hold the inner glass with both hands, remove it, and place it on a soft surface for cleaning.
- Refit the intermediate pane (marked "1R") before the inner pane. Ensure the "R" mark is visible in the left corner. Insert the long side marked "R" into the support seats, then lower it into position. Repeat for both panes.
- Refit the upper edge; a click confirms correct positioning. Ensure the seal is secure before refitting the door.
Door Lock Device *
If the door lock is installed, the door must be manually closed. To open the door with the lock device, follow Figure 1. The door safety device can be removed by following the sequence in Figure 2.
