Preventing material damage

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 temperature change 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 is 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

Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.

Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.

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 parallel.

The cooking compartment is heated after baking the first dish. This reduces the baking time for the second cakes.

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.

Note The appliance requires:

a maximum of 1 W, when the appliance is in operation with the display, switched on
a maximum of 0.5 W when the appliance is in operation with the display switched off

How it works

How it works
Here, you can find the ideal settings for various types of food as well as the best accessories and cookware. These recommendations are perfectly tailored to your appliance.
Proceed as follows:

Note
If you are using the appliance for the first time, follow this important information:

“Safety”,
“Saving energy”,
“Preventing material damage”,

Select a suitable type of food from the overview of food.
Note: If you do not find the exact food or application that you want to prepare or implement, look for a similar dish and take the general information into consideration.
Remove any accessories from the cooking compartment.
Select suitable cookware and accessories.
Use the cookware and the accessory listed in the recommended settings.
Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the recommended settings tell you to do so.
Use the recommended settings when configuring the appliance settings.

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.

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 op-eration. 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.

To prevent damage, wipe away the condensation.
When you preheat the appliance, you reduce the build-up 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 on baking
When baking, use the shelf positions indicated.

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 of 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 dir-ectly in the cookware. If you cover the cookware when you cook your food, this will keep the cooking compart-ment 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 surface, 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.

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 surface, 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 be-gin 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 joint 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 a 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.

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 flavour the dried food will retain. Settings ranges are specified for this reason.

Preparation for drying

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.
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.
Grate vegetables and then blanch them. Drain the excess water from the blanched vegetables and spread them evenly on the wire rack.
Dry herbs on the stem. Spread the herbs out evenly and slightly heaped on the wire rack.
Turn very juicy fruits 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 3Â +Â 1

Proving dough
You can prove yeast dough more quickly in your appli-ance than at room temperature.

Proving dough
Always allow yeast dough to prove in two steps: Once in its entirety (dough fermentation) and a second time in the baking tin (final fermentation).

Place the dough into a heat-resistant bowl.
Place the bowl on the wire rack.
Use the recommended settings when configuring the appliance settings.
Only start operation when the cooking compartment has fully cooled down.
Do not open the appliance door while the dough is proving, otherwise moisture will escape.
Continue processing the dough and mould it into the final shape for baking.
Place the dough into the cooking compartment at the specified shelf position.
Tip: If you want to preheat the oven, do not carry out the final proving stage in the appliance.

Recommended settings

Proving dough
The temperature and time are dependent on the type and quantity of the ingredients. The values in the table are therefore guide values only.

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:

wire rack : Shelf position 2
wire racks : Shelf positions 3+1
Not e: 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 appli-ance.
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.
