Alcoholic vapours may catch fire in the hot cooking compartment and cause permanent damage to the appliance. The appliance door may spring open due to an explosion and it may fall off. The door panels may shatter and fragment. Due to the resulting negative pressure, the cooking compartment may become considerably deformed inwards.
▶ Do not heat spirits (≥ 15% vol.) when undiluted (e.g. for marinating or pouring over food). If there is water on the cooking compartment floor when operating the appliance at temperatures above 120 °C, this will damage the enamel.
▶ Do not use the appliance if there is water on the cooking compartment floor.
▶ Wipe away any water on the cooking compartment floor before operation. Objects on the cooking compartment floor at over 50 °C will cause heat to build up. The baking and roasting times will no longer be correct and the enamel will be damaged.
▶ Do not place any accessories, greaseproof paper or foil of any kind on the cooking compartment floor.
▶ Only place cookware on the cooking compartment floor if a temperature above 50 °C has been set. When the cooking compartment is hot, any water inside it will create steam. The change in temperature may cause damage.
▶ Never pour water into the cooking compartment when it is still hot.
▶ Never place cookware containing water on the cooking compartment floor. The prolonged presence of moisture in the cooking compartment leads to corrosion.
▶ Allow the cooking compartment to dry after use.
▶ Do not keep moist food in the cooking compartment for a long time with the door closed.
▶ Do not store food in the cooking compartment. Leaving the appliance to cool down with the door open will damage the front of neighbouring kitchen units over time.
▶ Always allow the cooking compartment to cool down with the door closed after cooking at high temperatures.
▶ Take care not to trap anything in the appliance door.
▶ Only leave the cooking compartment to dry with the door open if a lot of moisture was produced during operation.
Fruit juice dripping from the baking tray leaves stains that cannot be removed.
▶ When baking very juicy fruit flans, do not pack too much on the baking tray.
▶ If possible, use the deeper universal pan. Using oven cleaner in a hot cooking compartment damages the enamel.
▶ Never use oven cleaner in the cooking compartment when it is still warm.
▶ Remove all food remnants from the cooking compartment and the appliance door before you next heat up the  appliance.
If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no longer close properly during operation. This may damage the front of adjacent kitchen units.

▶ Never operate the appliance if the seal is damaged or missing. Sitting or placing objects on the appliance door may damage it.
▶ Do not place, hang or support objects on the appliance door.
▶ Do not place cookware or accessories on the appliance door. With certain models, accessories may scratch the door pane when closing the appliance door.
▶ Always push accessories fully into the cooking compartment.

2.2 Microwave
Follow these instructions when using the microwave.
ATTENTION!
Metal touching the wall of the cooking compartment will cause sparks, which may damage the appliance or the inner door pane.
▶ Metal (e.g. a spoon in a glass) must be kept at least 2 cm from the cooking compartment walls and the inside of the door.

Using accessories directly on top of one another causes sparks.
▶ Do not combine the wire rack with the universal pan.
▶ Always place accessories on different levels. The universal pan and baking tray are not suitable for use with microwave-only mode. Using either of these may create sparks, which will damage the cooking compartment.
▶ Place accessories on the wire rack supplied. Placing aluminium containers in the appliance may cause sparks, which will damage the appliance.
▶ Do not use aluminium containers in the appliance. Operating the appliance without food in the cooking compartment may lead to overloading.
▶ Do not switch on the microwave unless there is food inside. The only exception to this rule is when performing a short cookware test. If you prepare microwave popcorn at a microwave power level that is too high, the door pane may crack due to overloading.
▶ Never set a microwave power level that is too high.
▶ Use a maximum microwave output of 600 watts.
▶ Always place the popcorn bag on a glass plate.

Environmental protection and saving energy

3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.
▶ Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.

3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less power.
Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the recommended settings tell you to do so.

• Not preheating the appliance can reduce the energy used by up to 20%.
  Use dark-coloured, black-coated or enamelled baking tins.

• These types of baking tin absorb the heat particularly well.
  Open the appliance door as little as possible during operation.

• This maintains the temperature in the cooking compartment and eliminates the need for the appliance to reheat.
  When baking multiple dishes, do so in succession or in parallel.

• The cooking compartment is heated after baking the first dish. This reduces the baking time for the second cake.
  If the cooking time is relatively long, you can switch the appliance off 10 minutes before the cooking time ends.

• There will be enough residual heat to finish cooking the dish.
  Remove any accessories that are not being used from the cooking compartment.

• Accessories that are not being used do not need to be heated.
  Allow frozen food to defrost before cooking.

• This saves the energy that would otherwise be required to defrost it.
  Switch off the display in the basic setting.

• Energy is saved when the display is switched off. Heat two glasses or cups of liquid at the same time.
  Heating several dishes at the same time requires less energy than heating dishes one after the other.

Note:
The appliance requires:

• A maximum of 2 W in networked standby mode
• A maximum of 1 W when the appliance is not connected to the network, with the display switched on
• A maximum of 0.5 W when the appliance is not connected to the network, with the display switched off

1 = low
2 = medium
3 = high| Grill flat items such as steak and sausages, or make toast. Gratinate food.
The entire area below the grill element becomes hot.
| Centre-area grill| Grill settings:
1 = low
2 = medium
3 = high| Grill small quantities such as steak and sausages, or make toast.
Gratinate small quantities of food.
The central area below the grill element becomes hot.
| Gentle hot air| 30 – 275 °C| Cook selected dishes gently on one level without preheating.
The fan distributes the heat from the ring-shaped heating element in the back wall evenly around the cooking compartment. The food is cooked in phases using residual heat. This type of heating is most effective between 125 and 250 °C. Always keep the appliance door closed when cooking. This type of heating is used to determine the energy consumption in air recirculation  mode and the energy efficiency class.
| Circulated air grilling| 30 – 300 °C| Roast poultry, whole fish or larger pieces of meat. The grill element and the fan switch on and off alternately. The fan circulates the hot air around the food.
| Pizza setting| 30 – 275 °C| Cook pizza or food that requires a lot of heat from below. The bottom heating element and the ring-shaped heating element in the back wall heat the cooking compartment.
Symbol| Type of heating| Temperature range| What it’s used for and how it works
---|---|---|---
| Slow cooking| 70 – 120 °C| Slowly and gently cook seared, tender pieces of meat in uncovered
cookware. The heat is emitted evenly from above and below at a low temperature.
| Preheating cookware| 30 – 70 °C| Preheat cookware.
| Keeping warm| 50 – 100 °C| Keep cooked food warm.
| Defrost| 30 – 60 °C| Gently defrost frozen food.
| Air Fry| 30 – 300 °C| Cook until crispy, on one level with little fat. Especially suitable for food that is usually fried in oil, e.g. chips. The fan circulates heat from the grill element around the food at high speed. The exhaust air is extracted more intensively from of the cooking compartment.

5.2 Temperature
With most types of heating , you can read the current temperature in the cooking compartment from approx. 40 °C and the set temperature side-by-side on the display during heating, e.g. 120|210 °C.

• The temperature and cooking time depend on the amount of food and the recipe. Settings ranges are specified for this reason. Try using the lower values to start with.
• The setting values apply to food placed in the cooking compartment while the cooking compartment is still cold. If you want to preheat anyway, do not place accessories into the cooking compartment until it has finished preheating.
• Remove any accessories that are not being used from the cooking compartment.

Tip
For some food, you can use the ventilation function “Crisp Finish”. The ventilation function “Crisp Finish” extracts moisture from the cooking compartment with increased intensity. This method is recommended for food with lots of moisture, e. g.

• for cooking on several levels
• for baked items with a moist toppings
• for meringue pastry
• when increased crispiness is required

For crispier food, we recommend switching this on in the second half of the cooking time.
→ “Ventilation function Crisp Finish”, Page 18

29.2 Baking tips

• Dark-coloured metal baking tins are most suitable for baking cakes, bread and other baked goods.

• Use wide, shallow cookware for bakes and gratins.
  Food takes longer to cook in deep, narrow cookware and it browns more on top.

• Silicone moulds are not suitable.

• If you are cooking bakes directly in the universal pan, place the universal pan into the cooking compartment at level 2.

• The setting values for bread dough apply to both dough placed on a baking tray and dough placed in a loaf tin.

• The recommended settings for baking in combination with the microwave mode are for metal baking tins.

ATTENTION!
When the cooking compartment is hot, any water inside it will create steam. The change in temperature may cause damage.
▶ Never pour water into the cooking compartment when it is still hot.
▶ Never place cookware containing water on the cooking compartment floor.

Shelf positions
If you are using the 4D hot air type of heating, you can choose between shelf positions 1, 2, 3 and 4. You will obtain the best results if you use the following shelf positions.

2 levels
• Universal pan
• Baking tray| 3

Use the 4D hot air heating function.

Notes

• Items that are placed in the appliance on baking trays or in baking tins/dishes at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.
• If you opt for cooking in combination with the microwave mode, you can only cook on one level.

29.3 Roasting, braising and grilling tips

• The recommended settings are for fridge-temperature food and unstuffed, oven-ready poultry.
• Place the poultry onto the cookware breast-side or skin-side down.
• Turn roasting joints, grilled items or whole fish after approx. ½ to ⅔ of the specified time.

Roasting on the wire rack
Food roasted on the wire rack will become very crispy on all sides. You can roast large poultry, for example, or multiple individual pieces at the same time.

• Roast pieces of a similar weight and thickness. The grilled food will brown evenly and will remain succulent and juicy.
• Place the food to be roasted directly on the wire rack.
• To catch any liquids that drip down, place the universal pan into the cooking compartment one level below the wire rack.
• Add up to ½ litre of water to the universal pan, depending on the size and type of food that you want to roast.
  You can make a sauce from the juices that are collected. This also means that less smoke is produced and the cooking compartment does not
  become as dirty.

Roasting in cookware
If you cover the cookware when you cook your food, this will keep the cooking compartment cleaner.

General information about roasting in cookware

• Use heat-resistant, ovenproof cookware.
• Place the cookware on the wire rack.
• Glass cookware is best.
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your roasting dishes.

Roasting in uncovered cookware

• Use a deep roasting dish.
• If you do not have any suitable cookware, you can use the universal pan.

Roasting in covered cookware

• Use a suitable lid that seals well.
• When roasting meat, there should be at least 3 cm between the food and the lid. The meat may expand.

WARNING ‒ Risk of scalding!
Very hot steam may escape when the lid is opened after cooking. Steam may not be visible, depending on the temperature.
▶ Lift the lid in such a way that the hot steam can escape away from you.
▶ Keep children away from the appliance.

Grilling
Grill food if you want it to be crispy.
The “Grill” type of heating is good for cooking thinner pieces of poultry, meat and fish such as steaks, drumsticks and burgers. It is also excellent for toasting bread.
Circulated air grilling is very well suited to cooking whole poultry and fish, as well as meat, e.g. roast pork with crackling.

• When grilling several food items, choose pieces that are of a similar weight and thickness. The grilled food will brown evenly and will remain succulent and juicy.
• Place the food to be grilled directly onto the wire rack.
• To catch any liquids that drip down, place the universal pan into the cooking compartment at least one level below the wire rack.

Notes

• The grill element switches on and off continuously.
  This is normal. The grill setting that you use determines how frequently this occurs.

• Smoke may be produced when grilling.

29.4 Microwave cooking

If you cook food using the microwave mode, you can reduce the cooking time considerably.

General information

• When using the microwave mode, the cooking time is determined based on the total weight.
  If you want to cook a quantity that differs from the specified quantity, the general rule is Double the quantity requires just under double the cooking time.

• The food transfers heat to the cookware. The cookware may become very hot.

• The main part of the instruction manual contains information on how to configure the microwave and microwave boost oven settings.
  – → “Microwave”, Page 16

Tip
You can find more microwave recipes here:

• → “Defrosting”, Page 39
• → “Warming up food using the microwave mode”, Page 40

Cooking, braising or steaming using the microwave mode

• Use microwave-safe cookware with a lid. Alternatively, you can use a plate or special microwaveable film to cover the dish.

• For cereal products, e.g. rice, use deep cookware with a lid. Cereal products foam a lot during cooking. Add liquid in accordance with the instructions and information provided in the recommended settings tables.

• Do not wash or dry food. Add 1-3 tablespoons of water or lemon juice to the food.

• Spread the food out so that as much of it as possible is in contact with the bottom of the cookware.
  Food that is in contact with the bottom will cook more quickly than food that is piled up.

• Use salt and seasoning sparingly. When cooking food using the microwave mode, most of the food’s natural flavour will be retained.

• Turn or stir the food 2-3 times during cooking.

• After cooking, leave the food to rest for 2-3 minutes.

29.5 Cooking instructions for ready meals

• The cooking result greatly depends on the quality of the food. Pre-browning and irregularities may already be present in the food before cooking.
• Do not use frozen products that are covered with a thick layer of ice. Remove any ice on the food.
• Take ready meals out of the packaging.
• If you are warming or cooking the ready meal in cookware, make sure that the cookware is heat-resistant.
• Distribute foods that are in the form of separate pieces, such as bread rolls and potato products, so that they are spread out flat and evenly on the accessory. Leave a little space between the individual pieces.
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging.
• If the packaging specifies a higher value than the maximum power of the appliance, use the next lowest a higher value the next lowest wattage setting on the appliance. To achieve the same results, increase the cooking time.

29.7 Special cooking methods and other applications
Information and recommended settings for special cooking methods and other applications, e.g. slow cooking.

Slow cooking
Cook prime cuts of meat slowly at a low temperature, e.g. tender cuts of beef, veal, lamb or poultry.

Slow cooking poultry or meat
Note: When using the slow cooking type of heating, you cannot delay the start of the programme by setting an end time.
Requirement: The cooking compartment is cold.

1. Use fresh, clean, hygienic meat without bones.
2. Place the cookware onto the wire rack at level 2 in the cooking compartment.
3. Preheat the cooking compartment and cookware for approx. 15 minutes.
4. Sear the meat on all sides on the hob at a very high heat.
5. Immediately place the meat into the pre-warmed cookware in the cooking compartment.
   To ensure that the temperature in the cooking compartment remains constant, keep the cooking compartment door closed during slow cooking.

Tips for slow cooking
Here you will find tips for achieving good results when slow cooking food.

• Sear the skin side first.
• Slow cook the duck breast.
• After slow cooking, grill the duck breast for 3 to 5 minutes until crispy.
You want to serve your slow-cooked meat as hot as possible.| • Preheat the serving plate.
• Make sure that the sauces that accompany the duck breast are very hot when you serve them.

Air Fry
Cook food with Air Fry until crispy and with little fat. Air Fry is particularly suitable for meals that are normally fried in oil.
Cooking tips for Air Fry Observe this information when cooking food with Air Fry.

• Only one level can be used when cooking with Air Fry.
• The Air Fry accessory makes food crispier. If the AirFry accessory is not included with the appliance as standard, you can obtain the Air-Fry  accessory as an optional accessory.
• Do not preheat the oven.
• Do not use greaseproof paper. The air must circulate in the cooking compartment.
• Do not defrost frozen food.
• Cover the Air-Fry accessory or the universal pan evenly with the food. If possible, only distribute the food on the accessory in a single layer.
• Insert the accessory into the cooking compartment at level 3. If you use the Air Fry accessory, you can insert an empty universal pan at level 1 to protect against dirt.
• Turn the food halfway through cooking. If you are cooking larger quantities, turn the food twice.

Tip: Do not season the food until after you have cooked it. This makes the food crispier.
Breaded vegetables are also suitable for cooking with Air Fry. To save fat, use a sprayer to spray the coating with oil. This forms a crispy crust with little fat.

Defrosting
You can defrost frozen food in your appliance.

Tips for defrosting food

• You can use the “microwave” mode to defrost frozen fruit, vegetables, poultry, meat, fish or baked goods.
• Remove frozen food from its packaging before you defrost it.
• Use heat-resistant, microwave-safe cookware.
• The recommended settings are for freezer-temperature food (-18 °C).
• Defrosting works best if you divide it into more than one step. The steps are listed one after the other in the recommended settings tables.
• Stir or turn the food 1-2 times during defrosting. Turn large items several times. Split the food into smaller pieces as it defrosts. Remove pieces that have already defrosted from the cooking compartment.
• Once the food has defrosted, switch off the appliance and leave the food in the appliance for another 10 to 30 minutes to allow the temperature to equalise.

Warming up food using the microwave mode
You can use the microwave mode to warm up food or to defrost and warm up food in a single step.
Tips for warming up food using the microwave mode

• Use microwave-safe cookware with a lid.
• Turn or stir the food 2-3 times during warming.
• After warming up the food, leave it to rest for 1-2 minutes.
• The food transfers heat to the cookware. The cookware can become very hot.
• Make sure that you do the following when you are warming up baby food:
  • Place bottles on the wire rack without the teat or lid.
  • Shake or stir the baby food well after warming it up.
  • Always check the temperature of the baby food.
• Wipe the cooking compartment dry after using it to warm up food.

WARNING ‒ Risk of scalding!
There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is heated. This means that the liquid reaches the boiling temperature without the usual steam bubbles rising to the surface. Exercise caution even when only gently shaking the container. The hot liquid may suddenly boil over and splatter.
▶ Always place a spoon in the container when heating liquids. This prevents delayed boiling.

ATTENTION!
Metal touching the wall of the cooking compartment will cause sparks, which may damage the appliance or the inner door pane.
▶ Metal (e.g. a spoon in a glass) must be kept at least 2 cm from the cooking compartment walls and the inside of the door.

Roasting and braising
Cooking tips for roasting and braising
Follow this information when frying or braising poultry or meat.

Calculating the cooking time, e.g. 20+35:

• To calculate the cooking time, assume 20 minutes per 500 g of meat. Then add an extra 35 minutes to that figure.
• For 1.5 kg, the cooking time would therefore be 95 minutes.

Cooking time range, e.g. 10-15:
• Your food will be ready within the specified range of time (in minutes).
