Using the Rings 1 2 General Instructions: • Quick hotplates are distinguished from normal hotplates by their higher power. They are indicated by a red dot which disappears after a while after heating and cleaning. • Because of condensation and the beginnings of rust formation, please do not place wet saucepan lids on the hotplate and do not leave hot pans to cool on the hotplate. Keep all objects and materials that might melt well away from the hob, e. g. plastics, tin foils or oven foils.

Inserting the Shelf and Universal Baking Tray 3 Anti-tip device All slide-in units have a small bulge on the left and right. This bulge is an anti-tip device and must always point to the rear of the oven. Tray or universal baking tray: The anti-tip device must point towards the rear of the oven. Inserting shelf: Insert the shelf unit with both guide rails pointing upwards. The anti-tip device must point downwards and be positioned to the rear of the oven compartment.
Uses, Tables and Tips Pans • The better the pan, the better the results. • You can recognise good pans by their bases. The base should be as thick and flat as possible. • When buying new pans pay particular attention to the diameter of the base. Manufacturers often give only the diameter of the upper rim. • When cold, pan bases are normally bowed slightly inwards (concave). They should never be bowed outwards (convex).
Cooking table The information given in the following table is for guidance only.

3 1 We recommend when boiling or searing foods using the highest heat setting at first and then letting foods requiring a longer cooking time finish cooking on the desired heat setting. Overheated fats and oils can ignite quickly. If you are cooking foods in fat or oil (e.g. chips), remain nearby. Baking Oven function: Fan-assisted circulation or Conventional Baking tins • For Conventional , dark metal and non-stick tins are suitable. • For Fan-assisted circulation bright metal tins are also suitable.
3 2 20 General Instructions • Insert the tray with the bevel at the front. • With Conventional or Fan-assisted circulation you can also bake with two tins next to one another on the oven shelf at the same time. This does not significantly increase baking time. When frozen foods are used the trays inserted may distort during cooking. This is due to the large difference in temperature between the freezing temperature and the temperature in the oven.
