Causes of damage

General information
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.
  • Aluminium foil: Aluminium foil in the cooking compartment must not come into contact with the door glass. This could cause permanent discolouration of the door glass.
  • Silicone pans: Do not use any silicone pans, or any mats, covers or accessories that contain silicone. The oven sensor may 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.
  • Moisture in the cooking compartment: Over an extended period of time, moisture in the cooking compartment may lead to corrosion. Allow the cooking compartment to dry after use. Do not keep moist food in the closed cooking compartment for extended periods of time. Do not store food in the cooking compartment.
  • Cooling with the appliance door open: Following operation at high temperatures, only allow the cooking compartment to cool down with the door closed. Do not trap anything in the appliance door. Even if the door is only left open a crack, the front of nearby furniture may become damaged over time. Only leave the cooking compartment to dry with the door open if a lot of moisture was produced whilst the oven was operating.
  • 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.
  • Extremely dirty seal: If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no longer close properly during operation. The fronts of adjacent units could be damaged. Always keep the seal clean.
  • Appliance door as a seat, shelf or worktop: Do not sit on the appliance door, or place or hang anything on it. Do not place any cookware or accessories on the appliance door.
  • Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance model, accessories can scratch the door panel when closing the appliance door. Always insert the accessories into the cooking compartment as far as they will go.
  • 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.

Environmental protection

Your new appliance is particularly energy-efficient. Here you can find tips on how to save even more energy when using the appliance, and how to dispose of your appliance properly.
Saving energy

  • Only preheat the appliance if this is specified in the recipe or in the tables in the operating instructions.
  • Use dark, black lacquered or enamelled baking tins. They absorb heat particularly well.
  • Open the appliance door as infrequently as possible during operation.
  • It is best to bake several cakes one after the other. The cooking compartment is still warm. This reduces the baking time for the second cake. You can place two cake tins next to each other in the cooking compartment.
  • For longer cooking times, you can switch the appliance off 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time and use the residual heat to finish cooking.

Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.
**** This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning  used electrical and electronic appliances(waste electrical and electronic equipment – WEEE).

Notes

  • Slight differences in colour on the front of the appliance are caused by the use of different materials, such as glass, plastic and metal.
  • Shadows on the door panels, which look like streaks, are caused by reflections made by the interior lighting.
  • Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures. This can cause some slight colour variation. This is normal and does not affect operation.
    The edges of thin trays cannot be completely enamelled. As a result, these edges can be rough. This does not impair the anti-corrosion protection.

Keeping the appliance clean
Always keep the appliance clean and remove dirt immediately so that stubborn deposits of dirt do not build up.
Tips

  • Clean the cooking compartment after each use. This will ensure that dirt cannot be baked on.
  • Always remove flecks of limescale, grease, starch and albumin (e.g. egg white) immediately.
  • Use the universal pan for baking very moist cakes.
  • Use suitable ovenware for roasting, e.g. a roasting dish.

Cleaning function

The cooking compartment can be cleaned effortlessly with the “Pyrolytic system” cleaning function. The cooking compartment is heated to an extremely high temperature. This burns off residues from roasting, grilling and baking.
You can choose from three cleaning settings.

Setting Cleaning level Duration
1 Light Approx. 1 hour, 15 minutes
2 Medium Approx. 1 hour, 30 minutes
3 Intensive Approx. 2 hours

The dirtier the cooking compartment and the longer the dirt has been there, the higher the cleaning setting should be. It is sufficient to clean the cooking compartment every two to three months. If required, you can clean the oven more frequently. A cleaning cycle requires only approx. 2.5 – 4.7 kilowatt hours.
Notes

  • For safety reasons, the appliance door locks automatically once a certain temperature is reached. It cannot be reopened until the symbol for the locking mechanism on the display goes out.
  • The interior lighting does not come on during the  cleaning function.

Dishes

You can use the “Assist” operating mode to prepare a wide variety of food. The appliance selects the optimal settings for you.
To achieve good results, the cooking compartment must not be too hot for the type of food you have selected. If it is, a message will appear on the display.
Allow the cooking compartment to cool down and start again.
Information on the settings

  • The cooking result depends on the quality of the food and the size and type of cookware. For an optimal cooking result, use food that is in good condition and chilled meat only. For frozen food, use food straight out of the freezer only.
  • For some food, a temperature, heating mode and cooking time is suggested. The temperature and the cooking time can be changed according to your requirements.
  • For other dishes, you will be asked to enter the weight. Always enter the total weight unless the appliance asks for something different. The appliance will then apply the time and temperature settings for you. It is not possible to set weights outside of the intended weight range.
  • When roasting dishes for which the appliance will apply the temperature selection for you, temperatures of up to 300 °C can be saved. Therefore, make sure that you use cookware that is sufficiently heat resistant.
  • Information is provided, e.g. on cookware, shelf position or the addition of liquid when cooking meat. Some food requires turning or stirring, etc., during cooking. This is shown in the display shortly after operation starts. An audible signal will remind you at the right time.
  • Information on the right kind of cookware to use and tips and tricks for the preparation can be found at the end of the instruction manual. → “Tested for you in our cooking studio” on page 35

Meat thermometer
For some food, you can also use the meat thermometer. Once you have inserted the meat thermometer into the appliance, the food that is suitable for it will be displayed. You can change the interior temperature of the cooking compartment and the core temperature. →”Meat thermometer” on page 18

Tested for you in our cooking studio

Here, you can find a selection of dishes and the ideal settings for them. We will show you which type of heating and temperature are best suited to your dish.
You will get information on suitable cooking accessories and the height at which they should be placed in the oven. You will also get tips about cookware and preparation methods.
Note: A lot of steam can build up in the cooking compartment when cooking food.
Your appliance is very energy-efficient and radiates very little heat to its surroundings during operation. Due to the high difference in temperature between the appliance interior and the external parts of the appliance, condensation may build up on the door, control panel or adjacent kitchen cabinet panels. This is a normal physical phenomenon. Condensation can be reduced by preheating the oven or opening the door carefully.
Do not use silicone moulds
For the best cooking results, we recommend darkcoloured metal baking tins/dishes.
Caution!
Do not use any silicone baking molds or accessories that contain silicone or films. The oven sensor may be damaged.
Even if the oven sensor is not being used, it may still be damaged.
Baking
Here, you can find recommended settings for many dishes.
Also refer to the notes in the section on allowing dough to rise.
Only use original accessories supplied with your appliance. These have been tailored to the cooking compartment and the operating modes of your appliance.
Shelf positions
Use the indicated shelf positions.
Baking on one level
When baking on one level, use the following shelf positions:

  • Tall baked items: Level 2
  • Flat baked items: Level 3

If you are using 4D Hot air as the type of heating, you can choose between levels 1, 2, 3 and 4.
You can also prepare soufflés in a water bath in the universal pan. To do so, slide the universal pan in at level 2.
Baking on two levels
Use 4D hot air. Baked items that are placed into the oven on trays or in baking tins/dishes at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.

  • Universal pan: Level 3
    Baking tray: Level 1

  • Baking tins/dishes on the wire rack
    First wire rack: Level 3
    Second wire rack: Level 1

By preparing several dishes at the same time, you can make energy savings of up to 45 per cent. Position baking tins/dishes next to one another or offset and vertically stacked in the cooking compartment.
Accessories
Ensure that you always use suitable accessories and that they are placed in the oven the right way around.
Wire rack
Insert the wire rack with the open side facing the appliance door and the outer rail pointing downwards . Universal pan or baking tray
Slide the universal pan or the baking tray in carefully as far as the limit stop with the beveled edge facing the appliance door.
When baking moist cakes or pastries with many toppings, use the universal pan so that any excess liquid does not overflow and make the cooking compartment dirty.
Baking tins
Dark- coloured metal baking tins are most suitable.
Tinplate baking tins, ceramic dishes and glass dishes extend baking time and mean that the baked item will not brown evenly. If you wish to bake using these baking tins/dishes and using top/bottom heating, slide in the tin/dish at level 1.
Greaseproof paper
Only use greaseproof paper that is suitable for the selected temperature. Always cut greaseproof paper to size.
Recommended setting values
You can find the ideal heating type for various pastries in the table. The temperature and baking time are dependent on the quantity and composition of the dough. Different settings ranges are indicated for this reason. Try using the lower values at first. A lower
temperature results in more even browning. If necessary, use a higher setting the next time.
Note: Baking times can not be reduced by using higher temperatures. Cakes or small baked items would only be cooked on the outside, and would not be fully baked in the middle. The setting values apply to dishes placed into a cold cooking compartment. By doing so, you can make energy savings of up to 20 per cent. If you preheat the oven, you can reduce the indicated baking times by several minutes.
Preheating is necessary for selected dishes, and this is indicated in the table.
If you wish to follow one of your own recipes when baking, you should use a similar baked item in the table as a reference. You can find additional information in the tips on baking attached to the settings table.
Remove unused accessories from the cooking compartment. This will achieve the best possible cooking results and energy savings of up to 20 per cent.
Types of heating used:

  • 4D hot air

Tips on baking

You want to find out whether the cake is completely cooked in the middle.| Push a cocktail stick into the highest point on the cake. If the cocktail stick comes out clean with no dough res- idue, the cake is ready.
---|---
The cake collapses.| Next time, use less liquid. Alternatively, set the temperature to be 10 °C lower and extend the baking time. Adhere to the specified ingredients and preparation instructions in the recipe.
The cake has risen in the middle but is lower around the edge.| Only grease the base of the springform cake tin. After baking, loosen the cake carefully with a knife.
The fruit juice overflows.| Next time, use the universal pan.
Small baked items stick to one another during baking.| There should be a gap of approx. 2 cm around each item. This gives enough space for the baked items to expand well and brown on all sides.
The cake is too dry.| Set the temperature 10 °C higher and shorten the baking time.
The cake is generally too light in col- our.| If the shelf position and the cookware are correct, then you should increase the temperature if necessary or extend the baking time.
The cake is too light on top, and too dark underneath.| Bake the cake one level higher in the oven the next time.
The cake is too dark on top, and too light underneath.| Bake the cake one level lower in the oven the next time. Select a lower temperature and extend the baking time.
Cakes baked in a tray or tin are too brown at the back.| Place the baking tray in the middle of the accessories, not directly against the back wall.
The whole cake is too dark.| Select a lower temperature next time and extend the baking time if necessary.
The cake is unevenly browned.| Select a slightly lower temperature.
Protruding greaseproof paper can affect the air circulation. Always cut greaseproof paper to size.
Ensure that the baking tin does not stand directly in front of the openings in the cooking compartment back wall.
When baking small items, you should use similar sizes and thicknesses wherever possible.
You were baking on several levels. The items on the top baking tray are darker than those on the lower baking tray.| Always select 4D hot air when baking on several levels. Baked items that are placed into the oven on trays or in baking tins/dishes at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.
The cake looks good, but is not cooked properly in the middle.| Use a lower temperature and bake slightly longer; if necessary, add slightly less liquid. For cakes with a moist topping, bake the base first. Sprinkle it with almonds or breadcrumbs and then place the topping on top.
The cake cannot be turned out of the dish when it is turned upside down.| Allow the cake to cool down for 5 to 10 minutes after baking. If it still sticks, carefully loosen the cake around the edges again using a knife. Turn the cake tin upside down again and cover it several times with a cold, wet cloth. Next time, grease the baking tin/dish and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.

Roasting and braising
Here, you can find information on roasting and braising poultry and meat. You can find the ideal settings for many dishes in the settings Tables.
Poultry
For duck or goose, pierce the skin on the underside of the wings. This allows the fat to run out.
If using duck breast, score the skin. Do not turn duck breasts.
When you turn poultry, ensure that the breast side or the skin side is underneath at first.
Poultry will turn out particularly crispy and brown if you baste it towards the end of the roasting time with butter, salted water or orange juice.
Mea t
Baste lean meat with fat as required or cover it with strips of bacon.
Score the rind crosswise. If you turn the joint when cooking, ensure that the rind is underneath at first.
When the joint is ready, turn off the oven and allow it to rest for another 10 minutes in the cooking compartment. This allows the meat juices to be better distributed. Wrap the joint in aluminium foil if necessary.
The recommended resting time is not included in the cooking time indicated.
Roasting on the wire rack
On the wire rack, poultry and meat will become very crispy on all sides. Roasting on the wire rack is well suited for larger poultry or for multiple pieces at the same time.
Depending on the size and type of the meat, add up to 1/2 litres of water to the universal pan. Any dripping fat and meat juices will be caught. You can prepare a sauce using these meat juices. In addition, less smoke is generated, and the cooking compartment  stays cleaner.
Slide the universal pan into the oven at the indicated shelf position with the wire rack attached. Ensure that the wire rack is correctly positioned on the universal pan. →”Accessories” on page 11 Tested for you in our cooking studio
Roasting and braising in cookware
It is more convenient to roast and braise meat in cookware. You can take the joint out of the cooking compartment more easily in the cookware, and prepare the sauce in the cookware itself.
Only use cookware which is suitable for use in an oven.
Check whether the cookware fits in the cooking compartment.
Glass cookware is most suitable. Place hot glass cookware onto a dry mat after cooking. If the surface is damp or cold, the glass may crack.
Add in a little liquid for roasting if the meat is lean. A covering of approx. ^ cm depth should be applied to the base of any glass cookware.
The amount of liquid is dependent on the type of meat, the cookware material and also on whether or not a lid is used. If preparing meat in an enamelled or dark metal roasting dish, it will need a little more liquid than if cooked in glass cookware.
The steam evaporates in the cookware when roasting.
Carefully pour in more liquid if required.
Shiny roasting dishes made from stainless steel or aluminium reflect heat like a mirror and are therefore not particularly suitable. The meat cooks more slowly and will not brown so much. Use a higher temperature and/or a longer cooking time.
Observe the manufacturer’s instructions for your roasting cookware.
Roasting in uncovered cookware
It is best to use a deep roasting tin/dish for roasting poultry and meat. Place the tin/dish onto the wire rack.
If you do not have any suitable cookware, use the universal pan.
Braising in covered cookware
When preparing food with covered cookware, the cooking compartment remains considerably cleaner.
Ensure that the lid fits well and closes properly. Place the cookware onto the wire rack.
The distance between the meat and the lid must be at least 3 cm. The meat may rise.
Very hot steam may escape when opening the lid after cooking. Lift the lid at the rear, so that the hot steam can escape away from you.
If necessary, braise the meat first by searing it. Add water, wine, vinegar or a similar liquid to the braising liquid. A covering at least 2 cm deep should be applied to the base of the cookware.
The steam evaporates in the cookware when roasting.
Carefully pour in more liquid if required.
Meat thermometer
You can cook accurately using a meat thermometer.
Read important notes on using the meat thermometer in the corresponding chapter. There, you can find notes on inserting the meat thermometer, the possible heating types and additional information. ~ “Meat thermometer” on page 18p
Recommended setting values
In the table, you can find the ideal heating type for poultry and meat. Temperature and cooking time depend on the quantity, composition and temperature of the food. Different settings ranges are indicated for this reason. Try using the lower values at first. You can increase the temperature next time if necessary.
The setting values are based on the assumption that unstuffed, chilled, ready- to-roast poultry and meat are placed into a cold cooking compartment. By doing so, you can make energy savings of up to 20 per cent. If you preheat the oven, the indicated cooking times will be reduced by several minutes.
In the table, you can find specifications for poultry and meat with default values for the weight. If you wish to prepare heavier poultry or meat, use the lower temperature in every case. If roasting several joints, use the weight of the heaviest piece as a basis for determining the cooking time. The individual pieces should be approximately equal in size.
A general rule: the larger the poultry or piece of meat is, the lower the cooking temperature and the longer the cooking time.
Turn the poultry and meat after approx. ^ to Z of the indicated time.
Remove unused accessories from the cooking compartment. This will achieve the best possible cooking results and energy savings of up to 20 per cent.

Tips on roasting and braising

The cooking compartment becomes very dirty.| Prepare your food in an enclosed roasting dish with higher temperature or use the grill tray. You will achieve the best roasting results if you use the grill tray. The grill tray can be bought later as a special accessory.
---|---
The roast is too dark and the crack- ling is burned in places, and/or the roast is too dry.| Check the shelf position and temperature. Select a lower temperature the next time and reduce the roasting time if necessary.
The crackling is too thin.| Increase the temperature or switch on the grill briefly at the end of the roasting time.
The roast looks good but the juices are burnt.| Next time, use a smaller roasting dish and add more liquid if necessary.
The roast looks good but the juices are too clear and watery.| Next time, use a larger roasting dish and add less liquid if necessary.
The meat gets burned during brais-ing.| The roasting dish and lid must fit together well and close properly.

Reduce the temperature and add more liquid when braising if necessary.

Grilling
Here, you can find information on grilling poultry, meat and fish, as well as toast. You can find the ideal settings for certain dishes in the settings tables.
Grilling with circulated air
Circulated air grilling is very well suited to the preparation of whole poultry, fish, and also meat, e.g. roast pork with crackling.
Poultry
For duck or goose, pierce the skin on the underside of the wings. This allows the fat to run out.
If using duck breast, score the skin. Do not turn duck breasts.
When you turn poultry, ensure that the breast side or the skin side is underneath at first.
Poultry will turn out particularly crispy and brown if you baste it towards the end of the roasting time with butter, salted water or orange juice.
Meat
Baste lean meat with fat as required or cover it with strips of bacon.
Score the rind crosswise. If you turn the joint when cooking, ensure that the rind is underneath at first.
When the joint is ready, turn off the oven and allow it to rest for another 10 minutes in the cooking compartment. This allows the meat juices to be better distributed. Wrap the joint in aluminium foil if necessary.
The recommended resting time is not included in the cooking time indicated.
Fish
Fish cooked whole does not have to be turned. Place the whole fish into the cooking compartment in swimming position with the dorsal fin facing upwards.
Placing half a potato or a small oven-proof container in the stomach cavity of the fish will provide stability.
You can tell when the fish is cooked because the dorsal fin can be removed easily.
Roasting on the wire rack
On the wire rack, poultry and meat will become very crispy on all sides. Roasting on the wire rack is well suited for larger poultry or for multiple pieces at the same time.
Depending on the size and type of the meat, add up to 1/2 litres of water to the universal pan. Any dripping fat and meat juices will be caught. You can prepare a sauce using these meat juices. In addition, less smoke is generated, and the cooking compartment stays cleaner.
Slide the universal pan into the oven at the indicated shelf position with the wire rack attached. Ensure that the wire rack is correctly positioned on the universal pan. → “Accessories” on page 11
Roasting in cookware
It is more convenient to roast and braise meat in cookware. You can take the joint out of the cooking compartment more easily in the cookware, and prepare the sauce in the cookware itself.
Only use cookware which is suitable for use in an oven.
Check whether the cookware fits in the cooking compartment.
Glass cookware is most suitable. Place hot glass cookware onto a dry mat after cooking. If the surface is damp or cold, the glass may crack.
Add in a little liquid if the meat is lean. A covering of approx. ^ cm depth should be applied to the base of any glass cookware.
The quantity of liquid is dependent on the type of meat, the cookware material and also on whether or not a lid is used. If preparing poultry, meat or fish in an enamelled or dark metal roasting dish, it will need a little more liquid than if cooked in glass cookware.
The steam evaporates in the cookware when roasting.
Carefully pour in more liquid if required.
Shiny roasting dishes made from stainless steel or aluminium reflect heat like a mirror and are therefore not particularly suitable. The meat cooks more slowly and will not brown so much. Use a higher temperature and/or a longer cooking time.
Observe the manufacturer’s instructions for your roasting cookware.
Uncovered cookware
Use a deep roasting tin/dish for roasting meat. Place the tin/dish onto the wire rack. If you do not have any suitable cookware, use the universal pan.
Covered cookware
When cooking with covered cookware, the cooking compartment remains considerably cleaner. Ensure that the lid fits well and closes properly. Place the cookware onto the wire rack.
The distance between the meat and the lid must be at least 3 cm. The meat may rise.
Very hot steam may escape when opening the lid after cooking. Lift the lid at the rear, so that the hot steam can escape away from you.
If necessary, braise the meat first by searing it. Add water, wine, vinegar or a similar liquid to the braising liquid. A covering approx. 1-2 cm deep should be applied to the base of the cookware.
The steam evaporates in the cookware when roasting.
Carefully pour in more liquid if required.
Meat can also become crispy in a covered roasting dish. To do so, use a roasting dish with a glass lid and set a higher temperature.
Grilling flat pieces
Flat pieces of poultry, meat and fish, such as steaks, drumsticks and burgers, can be prepared well using the “Grill” heating type. Excellent results are also achieved when grilling toast.
Grilling
Keep the appliance door closed when using the grill.
Never grill with the appliance door open.
Place the food to be grilled on the wire rack. In addition, slide the universal pan in at least one shelf position lower, with the slanted edge facing the appliance door.
Any dripping fat will be caught.
When grilling, try wherever possible to use pieces of food which are of a similar thickness and weight. This will allow them to brown evenly and remain succulent and juicy. Place the food to be grilled directly onto the wire rack.
Use tongs to turn the pieces of food you are grilling. If you pierce the meat with a fork, the juices will run out and it will become dry.
Do not add salt until after the meat has been grilled.
Salt draws water from the meat.
Notes

  • The grill element switches itself continuously on and off; this is normal. The grill setting determines how frequently this occurs.
  • Smoke may be produced when grilling.

Convenience products
Here, you can find the ideal settings for preparing chilled and frozen food.
Only use original accessories supplied with your appliance. These have been tailored to the cooking compartment and the operating modes of your appliance.
Tips

  • The cooking result greatly depends on the quality of the food. Pre-browning and unevenness may already be present on the packaged product.
  • Do not use frozen products that are heavily frosted.  Remove any ice on the food.
  • Distribute foods which are in pieces, such as bread rolls and potato products, so that they are spread flat and evenly on the accessories. Leave a little space between the individual pieces.
  • Observe the instructions on the packaging.

Shelf positions
Use the indicated shelf positions.
Baking on one level
When baking on one level, use the following shelf positions:

  • Tall baked items: Level 2
  • Flat baked items: Level 3

If you are using 4D Hot air as the type of heating, you can choose between levels 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Baking on two levels
Use 4D hot air. Baked items that are placed into the oven on trays or in baking tins/dishes at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.

  • Universal pan: Level 3
    Baking tray: Level 1

Accessories
Ensure that you always use suitable accessories and that they are placed in the oven the right way around.
Wire rack
Insert the wire rack with the open side facing the appliance door and the outer rail pointing downwards .
U niversal pan or baking tray
Slide the universal pan or the baking tray in carefully as far as the limit stop with the beveled edge facing the appliance door.
Greaseproof paper
Only use greaseproof paper that is suitable for the selected temperature. Always cut greaseproof paper to size.
Recommended setting values
In the table, you can find the ideal heating type for various dishes. Temperature and cooking time depend on the quantity and composition of the product. Setting ranges are indicated for this reason. Try using the lower values at first. A lower temperature results in more even browning. You can use a higher setting next time if necessary.
Note: Cooking times cannot be reduced by using higher temperatures. The dish would only be cooked on the outside, but would not be fully cooked in the middle.
The setting values apply to dishes placed into a cold cooking compartment. By doing so, you can make energy savings of up to 20 per cent. If you preheat the oven, the indicated cooking times will be reduced by several minutes.
Preheating is necessary for selected dishes, and this is indicated in the table.

Save energy with Eco heating types
When cooking food, you can save energy using the energy-efficient heating types “Hotwire Eco” and “Top/ bottom heating Eco”.
Place the food into the empty cooking compartment before it has heated up. Otherwise, energy optimization will not have any effect. Always keep the appliance door closed when cooking.
Remove unused accessories from the cooking compartment. This will allow you to achieve ideal cooking results and save energy.
Only use original accessories supplied with your appliance. These have been tailored to the cooking compartment and the operating modes of your appliance.
Accessories
Ensure that you always use suitable accessories and that they are placed in the oven the right way around.
Wire rack
Insert the wire rack with the open side facing the appliance door and the outer rail pointing downwards .
Universal pan or baking tray
Slide the universal pan or the baking tray in carefully as far as the limit stop with the beveled edge facing the appliance door.
Baking tins and cookware
Dark- coloured metal baking tins are most suitable.
These allow you to make energy savings of up to 35 per cent.
Cookware made from stainless steel or aluminium reflects heat like a mirror. Non-reflective cookware made from enamel, heat-resistant glass or coated, diecast aluminium is more suitable.
Tinplate baking tins, ceramic dishes or glass dishes prolong baking time, and the cake will not brown so evenly.
Greaseproof paper
Only use greaseproof paper that is suitable for the selected temperature. Always cut greaseproof paper to size.
Recommended setting values
Here, you can find specifications for various dishes. The temperature and baking time are dependent on the quantity and composition of the dough. Different settings ranges are indicated for this reason. Try using the lower values at first. A lower temperature results in more even browning. If necessary, use a higher setting the next time.
Note: Baking times can not be reduced by using higher temperatures. Cakes or baked items would only be cooked on the outside, but would not be cooked completely in the middle.

Acrylamide in foodstuffs
Acrylamide is mainly produced in grain and potato products prepared at high temperatures, such as potato crisps, chips, sliced bread, bread rolls, bread or fine baked goods (biscuits, gingerbread, spiced biscuit).

Tips for keeping acrylamide to a minimum

General| ■     Keep cooking times as short as possible.
■     Cook food until it is golden brown, but not too dark.
■     Large, thick pieces of food contain less acrylamide.
Baking| With top/bottom heating at max. 200 °C.
With hot air at max. 180 °C.
Biscuits| With top/bottom heating at max. 190 °C.
With hot air at max. 170 °C.
Egg or egg yolk reduces the production of acrylamide.
Oven chips| Spread out a single layer evenly on the baking tray. Cook at least 400 g at once on a baking tray so that the chips do not dry out.

Slow cook
Slow cooking is a technique for cooking food over a long period at low temperatures. For this reason, it is also called “low-temperature cooking”.
Slow cooking is ideal for all prime cuts (e.g. tender portions of beef, veal, pork, lamb or poultry) which are to be cooked “à point”. The meat will remain succulent and tender.
The benefit of this cooking method is that it allows lots of scope for menu planning because slow-cooked meat is easy to keep warm. You do not have to turn the meat when cooking. Keep the appliance door closed in order to maintain an even cooking climate.
Only use fresh, clean and hygienic meat without bones.
Carefully remove sinews and fat from around the edge.
Fat develops a strong, distinct flavour during slow cooking. You can also use seasoned or marinated meat. Do not use defrosted meat.
Meat can be carved immediately following slow cooking. No standing time is required. Due to the special cooking method, the meat looks pink, but is not raw or undercooked.
Note: Delayed-start operation with an end time is not possible for the slow cooking heating type.
Cookware
Use shallow cookware, e.g. a glass/porcelain serving dish. Place the cookware into the cooking compartment to preheat it.
Always place the uncovered cookware onto the wire rack at level 2.
You can find additional information in the tips on slow cooking attached to the settings table.
Your appliance features the heating type “Slow cook”.
Only start operation when the cooking compartment has fully cooled down. Allow the cooking compartment to warm up for approx. 15 minutes with the cookware inside.
Sear the meat on the hotplate at a very high heat and for a sufficiently long time on all sides, even on the ends. Place into the preheated cookware right away.  Place the cookware containing the meat into the cooking compartment once again and cook slowly.
Recommended setting values
The slow cooking temperature and cooking time are dependent on the size, thickness and quality of the meat. Different settings ranges are indicated for this reason.

Tips for slow cooking

Slow-cooking duck breast.| Place the cold duck breast into a pan and fry the skin side first. After slow cooking, grill for 3 to 5 minutes until crispy.
---|---
The slow-cooked meat is not as hot as conventionally roasted meat.| So that the roasted meat does not cool so quickly, warm the plates and serve the sauces very hot.

Drying
With 4D hot air, you can dry foods with outstanding results. With this type of preserving, flavourings are concentrated by the dehydration.
Only use unblemished fruit, vegetables and herbs and wash them thoroughly. Line the wire rack with greaseproof paper or parchment paper. Drain the excess water from the fruit and dry it.
If necessary, cut it into equal chunks or thin slices.
Place unpeeled fruit onto the dish with the sliced surfaces facing upwards. Ensure that neither fruit nor mushrooms overlap on the wire rack.
Grate vegetables and then blanch them. Allow the blanched vegetables to drain off and distribute them evenly on the wire rack.
Dry herbs on the stem. Position the herbs evenly and slightly heaped on the wire rack.
Use the following shelf positions for drying:

  • 1 wire rack: Level 3
  • 2 wire racks: Level 3+1

Turn very juicy fruit and vegetables several times. After drying, remove the dried products from the paper immediately.
Recommended setting values
In the table, you can find settings for drying various foodstuffs. The temperature and cooking time are dependent on the type, moisture, ripeness and thickness of the food to be dried. The longer you leave the food to be dried, the better it will be preserved. The thinner the slices are, the quicker the drying process will be and the more aromatic the dried food will remain. Setting ranges are indicated for this reason.
If you wish to dry additional foodstuffs, you should use similar foodstuffs in the table as a reference.
Type of heating used:

  • 4D hot air

Fruit, vegetables and herbs| Accessories| Type of heating| Tempera- ture in °C| Cooking time in hours
---|---|---|---|---
Pomes (apple rings, 3 mm thick, 200 g per wire rack)| 1-2 wire racks| | 80| 5-9
Stone fruit (plums)| 1-2 wire racks| | 80| 8-10
Root vegetables (carrots), grated, blanched| 1-2 wire racks| | 80| 5-8
Sliced mushrooms| 1-2 wire racks| | 60| 6-9
Herbs, washed| 1-2 wire racks| | 60| 2-6

Preserving
You can preserve fruit and vegetables using your appliance.
:Warning – Risk of injury!
If the food is preserved incorrectly, the preserving jars may burst. Follow the instructions for preserving.
Jars
Use only clean and undamaged preserving jars. Only use heat-resistant, clean and undamaged rubber rings. Check clips and clamps in advance.
For each preserving process, only use preserving jars that are the same size and contain the same food. In the cooking compartment, you can preserve the contents of a maximum of six 1/2, 1 or 11/2-litre preserving jars at the same time. Do not use jars that
are larger or taller than this. The lids could rupture.
Preserving jars must not touch one another in the cooking compartment during the preserving process.
Preparing fruit and vegetables
Only use fruit and vegetables that are in good condition. Wash them thoroughly.
Peel, core and chop fruit and vegetables appropriate to their type and fill the preserving jars with them up to approx. 2 cm below the rim.
Fruit
Fill the preserving jars with the fruit along with a hot, skimmed sugar solution (approx. 400 ml for a 1-litre jar). For one litre of water:

  • Approx. 250 g sugar for sweet fruit
  • Approx. 500 g sugar for sour fruit

Vegetables
Fill the jars with the vegetables along with hot, boiled water.
Wipe the rims of the jars, as they must be clean. Place a damp rubber ring and a lid on each jar. Seal the jars with clamps. Place the jars into the universal pan so that they do not touch each other. Pour 500 ml hot water (approx. 80 °C) into the universal pan. Use the settings indicated in the table.
Ending the preserving process
Fruit
After a short while, small bubbles will form at short intervals. Switch off the appliance once all preserving jars are bubbling. Remove the jars from the cooking compartment after the indicated cooling time.
Vegetables
After a short while, small bubbles will form at short intervals. As soon as all preserving jars are bubbling, reduce the temperature to 120 °C and allow the jars to continue to bubble in the closed cooking compartment as indicated in the table. After this time has elapsed, switch off the appliance and make use of the residual heat for several minutes as indicated in the table.
After preserving, remove the jars from the cooking compartment and place them onto a clean cloth. Do not place these hot jars onto a cold or damp surface, as they may crack. Cover the preserving jars to protect them from draughts. Only remove the clamps once the jars are cold.
Recommended setting values
The indicated times in the settings table are average values for preserving fruit and vegetables. They may be influenced by room temperature, the number of jars, quantity, heat and quality of the jar contents. The specifications are based on 1-litre round jars. Before you switch off the appliance or change the cooking mode, check whether the contents of the jars are bubbling as they should. The bubbling process starts after approx. 30-60 minutes.
Type of heating used:

  •  4D hot air

Prove dough
You can prove yeast dough in your appliance more quickly than at room temperature. Use the top/bottom heating type. Only start operation when the cooking compartment has fully cooled down.
Always allow yeast dough to prove twice. Observe the specifications in the settings tables for the 1st and 2nd proving processes (dough fermentation and final fermentation).
Dough fermentation
Use the settings indicated in the table and heat up the appliance. Position the dough bowl on the wire rack.
Do not open the appliance door during the proving process, as moisture will escape. Cover the dough with a damp cloth.
Final fermentation
Place your baked item into the oven at the shelf position indicated in the table.
If you want to preheat the oven, the final fermentation takes place outside the appliance in a warm place.
Recommended setting values
The temperature and proving time are dependent on the type and quantity of the ingredients. The values in the table are therefore only meant to be average values.
Type of heating used:

  • Top/bottom heating

Dish| Accessories/cookware| Shelf pos tion| Type of heating| Step| Tempera- ture in °C| Cooking time in mins.
---|---|---|---|---|---|---
Yeast dough, light| Bowl| 2| | Dough fermentation| 35-40| 25-30

Baking tray| 2| | Final ferment- tation| 35-40| 15-25

Defrosting
The defrost heating type is suitable for defrosting frozen fruit, vegetables and baked items. Poultry, meat and fish should ideally be defrosted in the refrigerator.
Use the following shelf positions when defrosting:

  • 1 wire rack: Level 2
  • 2 wire racks: Level 3+1

Recommended setting values
The times in the table are average values. They are dependent on the quality, freezing temperature (-18 °C) and composition of the food. Time ranges are indicated.
Set the shortest time first and then extend the time if necessary.
Tip: Items which were frozen flat or portioned defrost faster than those frozen in a block.
Remove frozen food from the packaging and place it in suitable cookware onto the wire rack.
Stir the food or turn it once or twice in between. Large pieces of food should be turned several times.
Occasionally split the food or remove items which have already defrosted from the cooking compartment.
Leave the defrosted food to rest for another 10 to 30 minutes in the appliance whilst it is switched off, so that the temperature balances out.
