Other important safety warnings

The appliance is intended for household use. Do not use it for any other purpose, such as room heating, drying of pets or other animals, paper, fabrics, herbs etc. As this may lead to injury or fire hazard.

Appliance must be connected to fixed wiring which has incorporated means of disconnection. Fixed wiring must be made in accordance with the wiring rules.

We recommend that (due to appliance weight) at least two persons carry and install the appliance.

Do not lift the appliance by holding it by the door handle.

Oven door hinges may be damaged when under excessive load. Do not stand or sit on the open oven door, and do not lean against it. Also, do not place any heavy objects onto the oven door.

If the power cords of other appliances placed near this appliance get entangled in the oven door, they can be damaged, which in turn can result in a short circuit. Therefore, make sure the power cords of other appliances are always at a safe distance.

Make sure the vents are never covered or obstructed in any other way.

Do not line the oven cavity with aluminium foil, and do not place any baking trays or other cookware on the oven bottom. This would obstruct and reduce air circulation in the oven, slow down the baking process, and destroy the enamel coating.

We recommend you avoid opening the oven door during baking, as this increases power consumption and increases condensate accumulation.

At the end of the baking process, and during baking, be careful when opening the oven door, as there is danger of scalding.

To prevent limescale accumulation, leave the oven door open after baking or using the oven, to allow the oven cavity to cool down to room temperature.

Clean the oven when it has completely cooled down.

Eventual mismatches in colour shades between different appliances or components within a single design line may occur due to various factors, such as different angles under which the appliances are observed, different coloured backgrounds, materials, and room illumination.

Do not use the appliance if it is damaged. Unplug the appliance from the power mains and call an authorized service centre.

The oven can be safely used with or without baking pan guides.

Do not store items in the oven, which could cause danger when the oven is switched on.

The deviation of the daily time display on the screen does not affect the functionality of the appliance and may be due to fluctuations in the frequency of the electrical network.

Before connecting the appliance to the power mains, leave it at room temperature for some time to allow all components to adapt to room temperature. If the oven was stored at a temperature close to freezing point or below it, this could be hazardous to some components, particularly the pump.

Do not operate the appliance in an environment colder than 5 °C. If the appliance is switched on in such conditions, the pump could be damaged.

Do not use distilled water, tap water with high chlorine content, or other similar liquids.

When baking with steam injection, always fully open the oven door when the baking process is completed. If you do not do so, the steam rising from the oven cavity could affect the operation of the control unit.

Only place the evaporating dish in the appliance when baking with a steam injection. When not using the steam injection function, remove it.

Only remove and replace the evaporating tray when the oven has completely cooled down.

Carefully read the instructions for use before connecting the appliance. Repair or any warranty claim resulting from incorrect connection or use of the appliance shall not be covered by the warranty.

In case of wire guides, always insert the wire rack and the baking tray into the slot between the upper and lower part of each guide level.

Fixed pull-out guides

(depending on the model)

teleskopska vodila_bio21

Pull-out guides may be fitted for the 2nd and 4th level.

In case of fixed pull-out guides, place the rack or baking tray onto the guide. You can place the wire rack directly onto a baking tray (shallow or deep all-purpose baking tray) and place both onto the same guide; in this case, the baking tray acts as a drip tray.

Click-on pull-out guides

(depending on the model)

flexi vodila_bio21

The click-on pull-out guide can be inserted into any space between two wire guides.
Place the guide symmetrically onto the wire guides on the left and the right side of the oven cavity. First, hook the upper clip of the guide under the wire of the wire guide. Then, press the lower clip into the right position until you hear a CLICK.

NOTE: The guides can be attached to any height between two levels of wire guides.

The click-on pull-out guides cannot be mounted onto guides with fixed double-level partial extension. They can, however, be mounted on to single-level partially extendible guides, to levels 3–4 and 4–5.

Make sure the pull-out guide is correctly rotated and that it extends outwards, i.e. out from the oven.

Oven door switch

(depending on the model)

If the oven door is opened during oven operation, the switch turns off the heater and fan in the oven cavity. When the door is closed, the switch turns the appliance operation back on.

Cooling fan

The appliance is fitted with a cooling fan that cools the housing, the door, and the appliance control unit. After the oven is switched off, the cooling fan continues to operate for a short while in order to cool down the oven.

Oven equipment and accessories

(depending on the model)

resetka

The WIRE RACK is used for grilling/broiling or as support for a pan, baking tray or baking dish with the food you are baking.

There is a safety latch on the wire rack. Therefore, the wire rack has to be lifted slightly at the front when pulling it out from the oven.

nizek pekac

SHALLOW BAKING TRAY is used for flat and small pastry. It can also be used as a drip tray.

The shallow baking tray may deform as it heats up in the oven. Once it cools down, it returns to the initial shape. Such deformation does not affect its function.

perforiran pekač_steam_bio21

The SHALLOW PERFORATED BAKING TRAY is used for cooking with systems that feature steam injection and for air frying. The perforation improves airflow around the food for a crispier crust.
When cooking food with high liquid content (water, fat), place the shallow baking tray or all-purpose deep baking tray one rack lower to serve as drip tray.

General tips and advice for baking

  • Remove all unnecessary equipment from the oven during baking

  • Use equipment made of heat-resistant non-reflective materials (supplied baking trays and dishes, enamel-coated cookware, tempered glass cookware). Bright-coloured materials (stainless steel or aluminium) materials reflect heat. As a result, thermal processing of food in them is less effective.

  • Always insert the baking sheets and trays to the end of the guides. When baking on the wire rack, place the baking dishes or trays in the middle of the rack.

  • For optimum food preparation, we recommend observing the guidelines specified in the cooking table. Choose the lower specified temperature and the shortest specified cooking time. When this time expires, check the results and then adjust the settings as necessary.

  • Unless it is absolutely necessary, do not open the oven door during baking.

  • Do not place the baking trays directly onto the oven cavity bottom.

  • Do not use the all-purpose deep baking tray on the 1st guide level while the appliance is operating.

  • Do not cover the oven cavity bottom or the wire rack with aluminium foil.

  • With longer cooking programs, you can switch off the oven approximately 10 minutes before the end of cooking time to make use of the accumulated heat.

  • Always place the baking dishes onto the wire rack.

  • When baking on several levels at the same time, insert the all-purpose deep baking tray into the lower level.

  • When cooking according to recipes from older cookbooks, use the bottom and top heater system (as in conventional ovens) and set the temperature 10 °C lower than specified in the recipe.

  • If you are using parchment paper, make sure it is resistant to high-temperatures. Always trim it accordingly. Parchment paper prevents the food from sticking to the baking tray and makes it easier to remove the food from the baking tray.

  • When cooking larger cuts of meat or pastry with higher water content, a lot of steam will be generated inside the oven, which in turn may condense on the oven door. This is a normal phenomenon which will not affect the operation of the appliance. After the cooking process, wipe the door and the door glass dry.

  • When baking directly on the wire rack, insert the all-purpose deep tray one level lower to serve as a drip tray.

Fast preheating of the oven: Only preheat the oven if required by the recipe of in the tables in these instructions for use. If you are using the fast preheating function, do not insert the food into the oven until the oven is fully heated. Temperature has a substantial effect on the final result. Fast preheating is recommended for delicate cuts of meat (sirloin), and for yeast-leavened and sponge dough that require a shorter baking time. Heating an empty oven consumes a lot of energy. Therefore, if possible, we recommend cooking several dishes in succession, or making several dishes simultaneously.

GentleBake: Allows slow and controlled cooking at a low temperature. The meat juices are distributed evenly, and the meat remains juicy and tender. The GentleBake slow cooking method is suitable for delicate boneless meat cuts. Before slow cooking, sear the meat thoroughly from all sides in a frying pan.

Cooking table

NOTE: Dishes requiring a fully pre-heated oven are indicated with a single asterisk * in the table. Dishes for which a 5-minute pre-heating cycle suffices are indicated with two asterisks **. In this case, do not use the rapid preheat mode.

Cooking with a temperature probe (simbol_sonda_bio21_ilBAKESENSOR)

(depending on the model)

The temperature probe allows for accurate monitoring of the core temperature of the food during cooking.

The temperature probe should not be in direct vicinity of the heating elements.

priklop sonda_bio21

1Stick the metal end of the probe into the thickest part of the food.

2Plug the probe plug into the socket located in the upper-right corner at the front of the oven cavity (see figure). SEnS will appear on the display unit.

NOTE: When you insert the probe into the socket, the preset functions on the oven are deleted.

Select the desired system and cooking temperature (in the temperature range up to 210 °C). The probe operation symbol and the preset temperature will appear on the display unit, which can be changed by touching the keys simbol_puščica levo_ilor simbol_puščica desno_il. Determine the desired final core temperature of your food (between 30 and 99 °C).

NOTE: When using the probe, setting the cooking time is not possible.

4Confirm the setting by pressing the start I stop key.

5When the set core temperature is reached, the oven will stop operating. End will appear on the display unit. An acoustic signal will be heard which you may turn off by touching any key. After one minute, the acoustic signal will be switched off automatically.

During the cooking process, set and current food core temperature alternate on the display unit. You may change the cooking temperature or the target food core temperature during the cooking process. Confirm the setting by touching the start I stop key.

Correct use of the probe, by type of food:

  • poultry: stick the probe in the thickest part of the breast;

  • red meat: stick the probe into a lean part that is not marbled with fat;

  • smaller chunks with bone: stick them into an area along the bone;

  • fish: stick the probe behind the head, towards the spine.

After use, carefully remove the probe from the food, unplug from the socket in the oven cavity, and clean it.

If you do not use the probe, remove it from the oven.

Cleaning and maintenance

Before cleaning, unplug the appliance from the power mains and wait for the appliance to cool down.

Children should not clean the appliance or perform maintenance tasks without proper supervision.

For easier cleaning, oven cavity and baking tray are coated with special enamel for a smooth and resistant surface.

Regularly clean the appliance and use warm water and hand dishwashing liquid to remove larger impurities and limescale. Use a clean soft cloth or sponge cloth.

Appliance exterior: use hot soapsuds and a soft cloth to remove impurities, then wipe the surfaces dry.

Appliance interior: for stubborn dirt and grime, use conventional oven cleaners. When using such cleaners, thoroughly wipe the appliance with a wet cloth to remove all cleaner residue.

Accessories and guides: clean with hot soapsuds and a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt and grime, we recommend prior soaking and use of a brush.

If the cleaning results are not satisfactory, repeat the cleaning process.

Never use aggressive or abrasive cleaners and accessories (abrasive sponges and detergents, stain and rust removers, scrapers for glass ceramic plates).

Oven equipment is dishwasher-safe.

Food residue (fat, sugar, protein) can ignite during the use of the appliance. Therefore, remove larger chunks of dirt from the oven interior and accessories before each use.

Using the Aqua Clean program to clean the oven

This program makes it easier to remove any stains from inside the oven.
The function is the most effective if used regularly, after each use.
Before running the cleaning program, remove all large visible chunks of dirt and food residues from the oven cavity.

čiščenje_aqua_bio21

1Insert the shallow baking tray into the first guide level and pour 0.4 litres of hot water into it.

2Turn the SYSTEM SELECTOR KNOB to Aqua Cleanaqua_bio21. Set the TEMPERATURE KNOB to 80 °C.

3Let the program operate for half an hour.

4When the program is completed, carefully remove the baking tray, using oven mitts (there can still be some water on the baking tray). Wipe down the stains with damp cloth and soapsuds. Thoroughly wipe the appliance with a wet cloth to remove all cleaner residue.

If the cleaning process is not successful (in case of particularly stubborn dirt), repeat it.

Use the Aqua Clean system when the oven has fully cooled down.

Cleaning the evaporator tray

After use, the evaporator tray can be hot, and there can still be some water in it. To avoid scalding, wait for the oven to cool down completely.

Remove the tray and manually clean the evaporating tray with a hand washing up liquid or in the dishwasher. If there are limescale deposits in the tray, soak it in limescale remover (use the limescale remover according to the instructions provided by its manufacturer) or in spirit vinegar. After cleaning and before replacing it, thoroughly rinse the tray.

čiščenje izparilne posode_steam_1_bio21_ENH2

1The evaporating dish is inserted on the right side, under the top of the oven cavity hanging from the grill heater.

2Grab the evaporating dish and pull it out of the oven.

3Clean the evaporator tray with water and detergents.

4Before cooking with steam injection again, insert the evaporating dish back into the guides and gently push it all the way in.

NOTE: If the tray is not replaced, then water will drip on the food when baking with steam injection.

Due to its position close to the heaters, the evaporating tray could discolour. This does not affect its function or usability.

Cleaning the steam system

Cleaning depends on how often you use the steam injection function and on the hardness of the water used.

  1. Remove the evaporating dish.

  2. Insert the all-purpose deep baking tray into the 5th (top) guide level to allow the water drip into it.

  3. In the extra functions menu, select descaling (dEcL). Confirm the setting by pressing the start I stop key. Yes will appear on the display unit.
    Confirm the setting by holding the start I stop key. The descaling process is started, and it cannot be terminated or cancelled.

  4. Fill will appear on the display unit. Add limescale remover into the water tank and confirm with the start I stop key.

  5. Descaling in progress.

  6. When the process is complete, the sign Fill will reappear on the display unit. Pour fresh water for rinsing into the water tank and confirm with the start I stop key.

  7. After the rinsing process, End will appear on the display unit.

  8. Remove the baking tray with water from the oven and wipe the oven dry if necessary.

If you do not wish to clean the steam system in the moment when proposed by the oven, this can be terminated by selecting OFF. You may cancel the descaling program up to three times. After that, the oven will disable the operation of the steam function.

Removing wire and fixed pull-out (extendible) guides

odstranitev vodil_bio21

AHold the guides by the bottom side and pull them towards the center of the oven cavity.

BRemove them from the openings at the top.

When removing the guides, take care not to damage the enamel coating.

Removing and replacing the oven door and glass panes

snemanje in vstavljenje vrat in stekla_bio21

1First, fully open the door (as far as it will go).

2Oven door is attached to the hinges with special supports that also include safety levers. Rotate the safety levers towards the door by 90°. Slowly close the door to a 45° angle (relative to the position of the fully closed door); then, lift the door and pull it out.

Oven door glass pane can be cleaned from the inside, but it has to be removed from the appliance door first. First, proceed as described under item 2, but do not remove it.

3Remove the air guide. Hold it on the left- and right-hand side of the door with your hands. Remove it by slightly pulling it towards you.

4Hold the door glass at the upper edge and remove it. To the same for the second and third glass pane (depending on the model).

5To replace the glass panes, observe the reverse order.

To replace the door, follow the reverse order. If the door does not open or close properly, make sure the notches on the hinges are aligned with the hinge beds.

The oven door hinge can close with considerable force. Therefore, always rotate both safety levers to the support when fitting or removing the appliance door.

Soft door closing and opening

(depending on the model)

Oven door is fitted with a system that dampens the door closing force, starting at the a 75°angle. It allows simple, quiet, and gentle opening and closing of the door. A gentle push (to a 15° angle relative to the closed door position) is enough for the door to close automatically and softly.

If the force applied to close the door is too strong, the effect of the system is reduced or the system will be bypassed for safety.

Replacing the bulb

The bulb is a consumable and therefore not covered by warranty. Before replacing the bulb, remove all accessories from the oven.

Halogen lamp: G9, 230 V, 25 W

menjava žarnice_bio21
