This document provides a comprehensive guide for the Gorenje BO6725E02ABG built-in electric oven, covering its functions, technical specifications, usage, and maintenance.
Function Description
The Gorenje BO6725E02ABG is a 60cm built-in electric oven designed for household use. It features various heating modes to accommodate different cooking needs.
Oven Functions and Operation:
- Separate Oven Lighting: This mode switches on the internal oven light, useful for monitoring cooking progress or when cleaning the oven chamber.
- Defrosting: This function utilizes the internal fan to rapidly and delicately thaw frozen foods.
- Bottom Heater On: In this mode, only the bottom heating element is active, ideal for dishes requiring final baking from the bottom.
- Bottom and Top Heaters On (Conventional): Both the upper and lower heating elements are active, providing conventional heating for even heat distribution within the oven.
- Classic Heating + Fan: This mode combines the top and bottom heating elements with the fan, suitable for various baking recipes.
- Combined Grill (Grill and Top Heater): This function activates both the infrared grill and the top heating element simultaneously. It creates a higher temperature at the top of the cooking area, resulting in more intense browning and is suitable for grilling larger portions.
- Fan and Combined Grill On: This mode combines the infrared grill, top heating element, and the fan. It speeds up the grilling process and enhances the taste of the dish. This function should only be used with the oven door closed.
Control Elements:
The oven is controlled via three knobs on the control panel:
- Oven Function Selection Knob: Used to choose the desired cooking mode.
- Temperature Control Knob: Sets the desired temperature for the chosen function.
- Timer: Allows setting a cooking duration up to 120 minutes. The oven will stop and an audible signal will sound when the set time expires. A manual operation mode is also available, allowing the oven to operate without a time limit.
Indicators:
- Red Temperature Regulator Signal Light: Illuminates when the oven is heating up and turns off when the set temperature is reached.
- Yellow Function Operation Signal Light: Indicates that the oven is currently operating.

Usage Features
Before First Use:
- Remove all packaging and clean the interior surfaces of the oven.
- Remove and wash all oven fittings (trays, shelves) with warm water and a small amount of washing-up liquid.
- Ensure proper ventilation in the room by opening a window or turning on a fan.
- Heat the oven to 250°C for approximately 30 minutes to burn off any manufacturing residues. Afterwards, wipe away any stains with a damp cloth.
- Important: Only warm water with a small amount of washing-up liquid should be used to clean the internal surfaces.
Energy Saving Tips:
- Avoid frequently opening the oven door unnecessarily.
- Switch off the oven a few minutes before the cooking time ends to utilize residual heat. For cooking times exceeding 40 minutes, switch off 10 minutes prior to completion.
- Use the oven primarily for larger dishes. Smaller meat portions (up to 1 kg) can be cooked more economically on a hob.
- When using the timer, set the shortest appropriate cooking time as per the recipe.
- Ensure the oven door is tightly closed to prevent heat leakage. Clean any spillages on the door seals immediately.
- Avoid installing the oven directly next to refrigerators or freezers, as this can increase energy consumption.
Fast Oven Heat-up:
- Use the "Classic Heating (Top + Bottom)" mode. The oven can reach 150°C in approximately 4 minutes.
- During fast heat-up, no food or equipment (trays, shelves) should be inside the oven.
- It is not recommended to set the timer during fast heat-up.
Grill Usage:
- The grilling process uses intense heat from the infrared heater.
- Always keep the oven door closed during grilling.
- Accessible parts of the oven may become hot; keep children away.
Safety Precautions:
- Ensure adjacent panels are made of heat-resistant material (up to 100°C for veneered cabinets).
- Keep combustible materials at least 0.9 meters away from the oven.
- Do not block ventilation or circulation ducts.
- Connect the oven to a properly grounded 220-240V electrical outlet with ground fault protection. Avoid extension cords.
- Do not operate the oven with a damaged power cord or plug.
- Do not add cold water directly to hot food or trays in a hot oven, as this can cause steam burns and damage the enamel.
