Overview

You will find the most frequently caused damage in the 

following table.

Oven

Caution!

Accessories, foil, greaseproof paper or ovenware on the 

cooking compartment floor: do not place accessories on the 

cooking compartment floor. Do not cover the cooking 

compartment floor with any sort of foil or greaseproof paper. 

Do not place ovenware on the cooking compartment floor if a 

temperature of over 50 ºC has been set. This will cause heat 

to accumulate. The baking and roasting times will no longer 

be correct and the enamel will be damaged.

Water in a hot cooking compartment: do not pour water into 

the cooking compartment when it is hot. This will cause 

steam. The temperature change can cause damage to the 

enamel.

Moist food: do not store moist food in the cooking 

compartment when it is closed for prolonged periods This will 

damage the enamel.

Fruit juice: when baking particularly juicy fruit pies, do not 

pack the baking tray too generously. Fruit juice dripping from 

the baking tray leaves stains that cannot be removed. If 

possible, use the deeper universal pan.

Cooling with the appliance door open: only allow the cooking 

compartment to cool when it is closed. Even if the appliance 

door is only open a little, front panels of adjacent units could 

be damaged over time.

Heavily soiled oven seal: if the oven seal is heavily soiled, the 

oven door will no longer close properly when the oven is in 

operation. The fronts of adjacent units could be damaged. 

Always keep the oven seal clean.

Oven door as a bearing surface: do not stand or place 

objects on the oven door when it is open. Do not place 

ovenware or accessories on the oven door.

Carrying the appliance: do not carry or hold the appliance by 

the door handle. The door handle cannot support the weight 

of the appliance and could break.

Plinth drawer

Caution!

Do not place hot objects in the plinth drawer. It could be 

damaged.

Installation and connection

Electrical connection

The appliance must be connected to the mains by a licensed 

expert. The regulations of your electricity supplier must be 

observed.
Any damage arising from the appliance being connected 

incorrectly will invalidate the guarantee.

For the installer

An all-pole isolating switch with a contact gap of at least 

3 mm must be present in the installation circuit. This is not 

necessary if the appliance is connected by a plug that is 

accessible to the user.

Electrical safety: The cooker corresponds to safety class I 

and may only be used in conjunction with a safety earth 

terminal.

A type H 05 VV-F or equally rated lead must be used to 

connect the appliance.

Appliances with a plug must only be connected to a properly 

installed socket with maximum 25 A, 3x4 mm².

Levelling the cooker

Always place the cooker directly on the floor.

1.

Pull out the plinth drawer and lift it up and out. 

There are adjustable feet at the front and rear on the inside of 

the plinth.

2.

Use an Allen key to raise or lower the adjustable feet as 

necessary until the cooker is level (picture A).

3.

Push the plinth drawer back in (picture B).

Wall fixing
