Temperature

Use the temperature selector to set the temperature in
the cooking compartment. It can also be used to select
the grill and cleaning settings, for example.
The settings will appear on the display.
Notes
The temperature can be set in 1 degree increments
■
up to 100 °C, and in 5 degree increments thereafter.
When cooking at very high temperatures, the
■
appliance lowers the temperature slightly after an
extended period.
Temperature indicator
The temperature indicator symbol _ fills with colour as
the appliance heats.
When you are preheating the appliance, the optimal
time to place your food in the cooking compartment is
as soon as the symbol is completely filled with colour.
Residual heat
When the appliance is switched off, the temperature
indicator shows the residual heat in the cooking
compartment. The lower the temperature drops, the
less of the indicator will be coloured.
Notes
The temperature indicator will only show the
■
increasing temperature for heating functions for
which a temperature is set. For grill settings, for
example, the indicator is filled in immediately.
Due to thermal inertia, the temperature displayed
■
may be slightly different to the actual temperature
inside the oven.

Cooking compartment

Various functions in the cooking compartment make
your appliance easier to use. For example, the cooking
compartment is well lit and a cooling fan prevents the
appliance from overheating.
Opening the appliance door
If you open the appliance door when the appliance is in
operation, the appliance will continue to operate as
before.
Interior lighting
With most heating functions and other functions, the
interior lighting in the cooking compartment will remain
lit while the oven is in operation. Once the oven has
finished cooking the food, the lighting will go out.
By pressing the button for the interior lighting, you can
switch on the lighting without heating the oven. This
makes it easier to clean your appliance, for example.
Cooling fan
The cooling fan switches on and off as required. The
hot air escapes above the door.
Caution!
Do not cover the ventilation slots. Otherwise, the
appliance may overheat.
So that the cooking compartment cools down more
quickly after operation, the cooling fan continues to run
for a certain period afterwards.
