Handling the oven correctly
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
Touching live parts may result in severe
injury or death.
■
Do not operate or continue to oper-
ate the appliance if the oven door
does not close properly.
CAUTION
Fire hazard!
Improper handling when operating the
appliance can lead to fi re.
■
Only ever operate the oven with the
oven door closed.
■
In case of an oven fi re
–
Switch off the circuit break-
ers/unscrew fuses
–
Do not open the oven door until the
fire is extinguished.
■
Never extinguish burning oil or fat
with water! To extinguish the fi re, use
a suitable fi re extinguisher with the
designation “F” or a fi re blanket.
■
Once the fi re has been extinguished,
have the appliance checked by our
Service department.
The right oven cookware
– Pots with heat-resistant handles can be
recognised by the label indicating “heat re-
sistant up to 280 °C”.
– Fire-proof dishes made of glass, porcelain,
ceramic and clay or cast iron.
– In particular, ovens with top and bottom
heat require dishes and trays with good
heat transfer, preferably metals which have
been painted black, as these allow cakes
to brown nicely.
– Good results can also be achieved with
coated or non-coated aluminium trays.
Tips for saving energy
– Preheat the oven only if it is called for in the
recipe or stipulated in the cooking tables
provided.
– Use the darkest possible bakeware, as it
absorbs heat very well.
– Avoid frequently opening the oven door
during cooking, baking or roasting.
– Bake several cakes one after the oth-
er while the oven is still warm in order to
shorten the baking time for subsequent
cakes. If you use loaf tins, place both of
them side by side in the oven.
– In the case of longer cooking times, switch
the oven off 10 minutes before the end of
the cooking time. The residual heat is suffi-
cient enough to complete the cooking.
