Preventing material damage

2.1 General
ATTENTION!
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 under 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.
▶ Keep the seal clean at all times.
▶ 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.

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 re-quired to defrost it.
  Note:
  The appliance requires:

• a maximum of 1 W when the appliance is in opera-tion with the display switched on

• a maximum of 0.5 W when the appliance is in oper-ation with the display switched off

Types of heating and functions
To ensure that you always find the right type of heating to cook your food, we explain the differences and applications below.

The fan distributes the heat from the ring-shaped heating element in the back wall evenly around the cooking compartment.
Symbol| Type of heating| What it’s used for and how it works
---|---|---

| Hot air gentle| 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 us- ing residual heat.
Select a temperature between 120 °C and 230 °C. Always keep the appliance door closed when cooking.
This type of heating is used to determine the energy consumption in air recircu- lation mode and the energy efficiency class.

| Pizza setting| 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.

| Bottom heating| Final baking or cooking food in a bain marie. The heat is emitted from below.

| Full-surface grill| Grill flat items such as steak, sausages, or toast. Gratinate food. The entire area below the grill element becomes hot.

| Hot air grilling| Roast poultry, whole fish or large pieces of meat.
The grill element and the fan switch on and off alternately. The fan circulates the hot air around the food.

| Top/bottom heating| Traditionally bake or roast on one level. This type of heating is especially suit- able for cakes with moist toppings.
The heat is emitted evenly from above and below.
This type of heating is used to determine the energy consumption in the conven- tional mode.

Heat-up indicator
The appliance indicates when it is heating up.
The line at the bottom of the display turns red in three increments, from left to right, as the cooking compartment heats up. When the appliance is in operation, one of the red sections of the line goes out during the heating phases.
When you preheat the appliance, the optimal time to place your food in the cooking compartment is as soon as all three sections of the line have turned red.
Note: Due to thermal inertia, the temperature that is displayed may differ slightly from the actual temperature inside the cooking compartment.
4.2 Cooking compartment
The functions in the cooking compartment make your appliance easier to use.
Rails
The shelf supports in the cooking compartment enable you to place accessories at different heights.
The cooking compartment has five shelf positions. The shelf positions are numbered from bottom to top.
Depending on the appliance, the shelf supports are fitted with pull-out rails or clip-on pull-out rails. The pullout rails are fixed in place and cannot be removed. The clip-on pull-out rails allow you to use them as you wish at all free shelf positions.
You can remove the rails, e.g. for cleaning.
→ “Rails”, Page 15 4.3 Accessories
Use original accessories. These have been made espe-cially for your appliance.
Note: Heat may deform the accessory. This deformation has no effect on the function. When the accessory cools down, it will regain its original shape.
Self-cleaning surfaces
The back panel in the cooking compartment is selfcleaning.
The self-cleaning surfaces are coated with a porous, matte ceramic layer and have a coarse surface.
When the appliance is in operation, the self-cleaning surfaces absorb splashes from roasting or grilling and break them down.
If the self-cleaning surfaces no longer clean themselves adequately during operation, heat up the cooking compartment specifically to the right temperature.
→ “Cleaning self-cleaning surfaces in the cooking compartment”, Page 14
Lighting
The oven light lights up the cooking compartment.
With most types of heating and functions, the lighting lights up during operation. If you use the function selector to end the operation, the lighting switches off.
The oven light setting on the function selector can be used to switch on the light without heating.
Appliance door
If you open the appliance door during operation, the operation continues.

6. WARNING ‒ Risk of scalding!
   Hot steam may escape when you open the appliance door. Steam may not be visible, depending on the temperature.
   ▶ Open the appliance door carefully.
   ▶ Keep children at a safe distance.
   When the dish is ready, switch off the appliance.

18.2 Good to know
Observe this information when preparing food.

• The temperature and cooking time depend on the amount of food and the recipe. Settings ranges are specified for this reason. Select lower values first and, if required, select higher values the next time.
  Cooking times cannot be reduced by using higher temperatures. Doing this would mean that the food would only be cooked on the outside, and would not be fully cooked in the middle.

• The setting values apply to food placed in the cooking compartment while the cooking compartment is still cold. You can cut your energy use by up to 20%.
  It is not usually necessary to preheat the appliance.
  If you would like to preheat the oven anyway, you can reduce the indicated baking times by a few minutes.
  Preheating is required for some types of food. 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. This allows you to achieve optimal cooking results and save up to 20% in energy.

• Hot air gentle is an intelligent type of heating that allows you to gently cook meat, fish and baked items.
  The appliance optimally controls the supply of energy to the cooking compartment. The food is cooked in phases using residual heat. This means that the food remains more succulent and browns less.
  Depending on the preparation and food, you can save energy. If you preheat the appliance or open the appliance door before the food has finished cooking, you may not be able to achieve this result.
  The hot air gentle type of heating is used to measure both the energy consumption in circulating-air mode and the energy efficiency class.

• Only use original accessories.
  The original accessory has been tailored to the cooking compartment and the types of heating.
  Ensure that the accessory slides in the right way round.

Condensation
This section tells you how condensation is formed, how you can prevent damage, and how you can prevent condensation from forming.
When you are cooking food in the cooking compartment, a lot of steam may form in the cooking compartment.
Since your appliance is extremely energy-efficient, only a small amount of heat escapes during operation.
Due to the significant differences in temperature between the appliance interior and the external parts of the appliance, condensation may build up on the appliance door, the control panel or the front panels of adjacent kitchen cabinets. The formation of  condensation is a normal physical phenomenon.
In order to prevent damage, wipe away the condensation.
When you preheat the appliance, you reduce the buildup of condensation.
Greaseproof paper
Only use greaseproof paper that is suitable for the selected temperature. Always cut the greaseproof paper to size.
WARNING  ‒ Risk of fire!
Opening the appliance door creates a draught.
Greaseproof paper may come into contact with the heating element and catch fire.
▶ Never place greaseproof paper loosely over accessories when preheating the appliance and while cooking.
▶ Always cut greaseproof paper to size and use a plate or baking tin to hold it down.

Notes

• When baking on several layers, use hot air. Different food that is placed in the oven at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.
  In such cases, you can remove the cooked food and continue to cook the other baking tray. If necessary, you can change the position and direction of the baking trays.

• Position baking tins/dishes either next to one another or offset on different shelves so that they are not directly one above the other in the cooking compartment.
  You can cut energy use by cooking different items at the same time.

• For best results, we recommend using dark-coloured metal baking tins.
  Roasting and grilling on the wire rack
  Roasting on the wire rack works particularly well for large poultry or for multiple pieces at the same time.

• Depending on the size and type of the food to be roasted, add up to 1/2 litre water to the universal pan.
  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.

• 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. This means that any dripping fat is caught.

Roasting in cookware
If you cook food in cookware, you can remove it from the cooking compartment more easily and serve it directly in the 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 onto the wire rack.

• Check in advance whether the cookware fits in the cooking compartment.

• Glass cookware is best.

• Shiny roasting dishes made from stainless steel or aluminium are not ideal. They reflect the heat like a mirror. The food cooks more slowly and does not brown as well. Increase the temperature accordingly and extend the cooking time.

• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your roasting dishes.
  Cookware without lid

• Use a deep roasting dish.

• Place the cookware onto the wire rack.

• If you do not have any suitable cookware, use the universal pan.
  Cookware with lid

• Use a suitable lid that seals well.

• Place the cookware onto the wire rack.

• Meat, poultry and fish can also become crispy in a covered roasting dish. Use a roasting dish with a glass lid for this. Select a higher temperature.

WARNING  ‒ Risk of injury!
If hot glass cookware is placed on a wet or cold sur-face, the glass may shatter.
▶ Place hot glass ovenware on a dry mat after cooking.
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.
Notes on roasting and grilling
The setting values are based on the assumption that unstuffed, chilled, ready- to-roast poultry, meat or fish is placed into a cold cooking compartment.
ATTENTION!
Acidic food may damage the grid
▶ Do not place acidic food, such as fruit or food with an acidic marinade directly on the pan support.

• The larger the poultry, meat or fish, the lower the temperature and the longer the cooking time.

• Turn the poultry, meat or fish after approx. 1/2 to 2/3 of the time listed.

• Add a little liquid to the poultry in the cookware.
  Cover the base of the cookware with approx. 1–2 cm of liquid.

• When you turn poultry, ensure that the breast side or skin side is underneath to begin with.

• 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.

• Only add salt to steaks once they have been grilled.

Salt draws water from the meat.
Information for those allergic to nickel
In rare cases, small amounts of nickel may pass into the food.
Tips for roasting and braising

◾  Use the grill tray. If re- quired, the grill tray can be bought later as an optional accessory.
You want the meat (e.g. roast beef) to remain hot and succulent.| ◾  When the roast is ready, switch off the oven and leave the meat to rest for
10 minutes in the cooking compartment with the door closed. This helps distribute the meat juices more evenly. The resting time is not included in the specified cooking time.
◾ After preparing it, wrap the food in aluminium foil.

Tips for keeping acrylamide levels to a minimum when cooking
Acrylamide is harmful to your health and is produced when you cook cereal and potato products at very high temperatures.

◾ Cook food until it is golden brown, but not too dark.
◾ Use large, thick pieces of food. These contain less acrylamide.
Baking| ◾ Set max. top/bottom heating to 200 °C.
◾  Set the temperature in hot air mode to max. 180 °C.
Biscuits| ◾  Brush baked items and biscuits with egg or egg yolk. This reduces the pro- duction of acrylamide.
Oven chips| ◾ Spread the chips out evenly and in a single layer on the baking tray.
◾ Cook at least 400 g at once on a bak- ing tray so that the chips do not dry out.

18.3 List of foods
Recommended settings for a variety of foods, sorted into food categories.
Cakes and other baked goods
Recommended settings for cakes and baked items
The temperature and baking time depend on the quantity and consistency of the dough. This is why temperature ranges are given in the tables. Set a short cooking time first. If required, set a longer cooking time next time.
A lower temperature results in more even browning.
Baking tips
We have compiled a few tips to help you achieve a good baking result.

cake tin.
◾ After baking, use a knife to carefully loosen the cake from the baking tin.
You do not want small baked goods to stick to each other when baking.| Leave a minimum clear- ance of 2 cm around each item that is to be baked. This allows enough space for the baked goods to expand and brown on all sides.
Determine whether the cake is ready.| Push a cocktail stick into the highest point on the cake. If the cocktail stick comes out clean, the cake is ready.
You want to bake accord- ing to your own recipe.| Use similar items in the baking tables as a guide.
Use bakeware made of silicone, glass, plastic or ceramic.| ◾ The baking tin must be heat-resistant up to 250 °C.
◾  Cakes in these types of bakeware brown less.

Bakes and gratins
How well cooked the bake is will depend on the size of the ovenware and the thickness of the bake.
Use wide, shallow cookware for bakes and gratins.
Food takes longer to cook in deep, narrow cookware and it browns more on top.
You can prepare food in baking tins or in the universal pan.

• Baking tins on the wire rack: Shelf position 2
• Universal pan: Shelf position 2

You can cut energy use by cooking different items at the same time. Position baking tins next to one another in the cooking compartment.
WARNING  ‒ Risk of injury!
If hot glass cookware is placed on a wet or cold sur-face, the glass may shatter.
▶ Place hot glass ovenware on a dry mat after cooking.

Poultry, meat and fish
The table lists values for poultry, meat and fish, with default values for the weight.
If you prepare dishes that are larger or heavier than what is specified in the recommended settings, always use the lower temperature. If cooking more than one item, use the weight of the heaviest item as a basis for determining the cooking time. The individual  pieces must be approximately the same size.
Tips for poultry, meat and fish
Observe the instructions when preparing poultry, meat and fish
Poultry

• For duck or goose, pierce the skin on the underside of the wings. This allows the fat to drain out.

• If using duck breast, score the skin. Do not turn duck breasts.

• 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

• Coat lean meat with fat as required, or separate the pieces.

• When roasting, add a little liquid if the meat is lean.
  Cover the base of the glass cookware with approx. 1/2 cm of liquid.

• Score the rind crosswise. If you turn the joint when cooking it, ensure that the rind is underneath to begin with.

• When the joint is ready, turn off the oven and allow it to rest for a further 10 minutes in the cooking compartment, keeping the door closed. This helps distribute the meat juices more evenly. Wrap the 0joint in aluminium foil if necessary. The resting time is not included in the specified cooking time.

• It is more convenient to roast and braise meat in the cookware. You can take the joint out of the cooking compartment more easily in the cookware, and prepare the sauce in the cookware itself.

• The quantity of liquid depends on the type of meat, the material the cookware is made from and on whether or not a lid is used. If you are cooking meat in an enamelled or dark-coloured metal roasting dish, it will need a little more liquid than if cooked in glass cookware.

• The liquid in the cookware evaporates as the meat roasts. Carefully pour in more hot liquid if required.

• The distance between the meat and the lid must be at least 3 cm. The meat may expand.

• To braise the meat, sear it first as required. Add water, wine, vinegar or similar for the braising liquid.
  The base of the cookware must be covered with 1– 2 cm of liquid.
  Fish

• You do not need to turn whole fish.

• Place the whole fish into the cooking compartment in swimming position with the dorsal fin facing upwards.

• Placing half a potato or a small ovenproof container in the stomach cavity of the fish provides stability.

• You can tell when the fish is cooked because the dorsal fin can be removed easily.

• When stewing, add two to three tablespoons of liquid and a little lemon juice or vinegar into the cookware.

18.4 Special cooking methods and other applications
Information and recommended settings for special cooking methods and other applications, e.g. slow cooking or preserving.
Drying
You can achieve outstanding drying results for the food using hot air. With this type of preserving, flavours are concentrated as a result of the dehydration.
The temperature and drying time depend on the type, moistness, ripeness and thickness of the food. The longer you leave the food to be dried, the better it will be preserved. The thinner you cut the slices, the quicker the drying process will be and the more  lavour the dried food will retain. Settings ranges are specified for this reason.
Preparation for drying

1. Only use unblemished, fresh 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 then dry it.

2. If required, cut the fruit into thin pieces or slices of equal size. Place unpeeled fruit onto the dish with the sliced surfaces facing upwards.
   Ensure that neither fruit nor mushrooms overlap on the wire rack.

3. Grate vegetables and then blanch them. Drain the excess water from the blanched vegetables and spread them evenly on the wire rack.

4. Dry herbs on the stem. Spread the herbs out evenly and slightly heaped on the wire rack.

5. Turn very juicy fruit and vegetables several times.
   After drying, remove the dried fruit and vegetables from the paper immediately.

Recommended settings
Drying
The table contains settings for drying various foodstuffs. If you want to dry food that is not listed in the table, you should use similar foodstuffs in the table as a reference.
Note:
Use the following shelf positions for drying:

• 1 wire rack: Shelf position 3
  

• 2 wire racks: Shelf positions 3 + 1

Meal| Accessory/cookware| Shelf position| Type of heating| Temperat- ure in °C| Cooking time, minutes

Mushrooms, sliced| Wire rack| 3
3+1| | 80| 5–8 hours
Herbs, stalks removed| Wire rack| 3
3+1| | 60| 2-5 hours

Preserving food
You can preserve fruit and vegetables by heating them and sealing them in air- tight jars.

• Only use heat-resistant, clean, undamaged pre-serving jars, rubber seals and clips.
• Only use fruit and vegetables which are in perfect condition.
• Only use jars that are the same size and contain the same food.

WARNING  ‒ Risk of injury!
If the preserving process is not carried out correctly, the preserving jars may crack.
▶ Make sure that you use the specified setting values.
▶ Use clean and undamaged preserving jars.
▶ Place no more than six ½ litre or 1 litre jars of food in the oven at a time. Do not use jars that are larger than this.
Preparing fruit or vegetables for preserving

1. Thoroughly wash the fruit and vegetables.

2. Prepare the fruit and vegetables, e.g. peel, remove pips/stone and chop.

3. Fill the glass up to approx. 2 cm below the mouth.

4. Fill the jars with hot liquid.
   For one-litre jars, approx. 400 ml of liquid is necessary.
   For fruit: Skimmed sugar solution
   – Approx. 250 g sugar for sweet fruit
   – Approx. 500 g sugar for sour fruit
   For vegetables:
   – Boiled water

5. Wipe the rims of the jars. They must be clean.

6. Place a damp rubber seal and a lid on each jar.

7. Seal the jars with the clips.

Preserving fruit or vegetables

1. Slide the universal pan into the cooking compartment at shelf position 2.

2. Once they have been prepared, place the jars into the universal pan in such a way that they do not touch one another.

3. Pour 500 ml hot water (approx. 80 °C) into the universal pan.

4. Use the recommended setting values when configuring the appliance settings.
   a After approx. 40 to 50 minutes, small bubbles begin to form at short intervals. The jar contents “bubble”.

5. Fruit
   ‒ Once all of the jars are bubbling, switch off the appliance.
   ‒ Remove the jars from the cooking compartment after the specified residual heating time.

6.  Vegetables
   ‒ Once all of the jars are bubbling, reduce the temperaturen to 120 °C.
   ‒ Switch off the appliance after the specified residual heating time and remove the jars from the cooking compartment.

7. ATTENTION!
   If there are large temperature differences, the jars may shatter.
   ▶ Do not place jars on cold or wet surfaces.
   ▶ Protect the jars from draughts.
   Place the jars on a clean cloth and cover them.

8. Once the jars have cooled, remove the clips.

Defrosting
For defrosting frozen fruit, vegetables and baked items.
Poultry, meat and fish should ideally be defrosted in the refrigerator. Not suitable for cream cakes or cream gateaux.
When defrosting food, use the following shelf positions:

• 1 wire rack: Shelf position 2
• 2 wire racks: Shelf positions 3+1

Note: Food that is frozen in thin layers or small portions defrosts more quickly than food frozen in larger blocks.

• Take the food out of its packaging and place in a suitable dish on the wire rack.
• Redistribute the food or turn it once or twice as it defrosts. Turn large pieces of food several times. As the food defrosts, break up any clumps and remove items that have already defrosted from the appliance.
• To allow the temperature to equalise, leave the defrosted food to rest for another 10 to 30 minutes in the appliance after switching it off.
