You can therefore select the best method for cooking any dish. Top/bottom heating This ensures the even distribution of heat onto the cake or roast from the top and bottom of the oven. This type of heating is best for cake mixtures in tins or for bakes. Top/bottom heating is also suitable for cooking lean roasts of beef, veal and game. 3D hot air A fan in the rear panel distributes the heat from the ring heating element evenly inside the oven. Using 3D hot air, it is possible to bake cakes and pizza on two shelves. You can cook biscuits and puff pastry on three levels at the same time. The required oven temperatures are lower than those for top/bottom heating. Additional baking trays may be obtained from specialist shops. 3D hot air is ideal for drying food. Bottom heating You can reheat or brown meals using bottom heating. It is also the most suitable type of heating for drying food. 9 Hot air grilling This type of heating involves the grill element and the fan switching on and off alternately. During the pause in heating, the fan circulates the heat generated by the grill around the food. This ensures that pieces of meat are crisped and brown on all sides. Radiant grilling The entire area under the grill element becomes hot. This is ideal if you wish to cook several steaks, sausages, fish or slices of toast. Oven and shelving accessories The shelf can be inserted at 5 different heights in the oven. Maximum pull out point You can remove the shelf two thirds of the way without it tipping.

Oven exterior Wipe the oven with water and a little washing up liquid. Dry it with a soft cloth. Caustic or abrasive substances are not suitable. If any such substances come into contact with the frontage, wipe it off immediately with water. Note Slight differences in the colours on the appliance front are caused by the use of different materials, such as glass, plastic and metal. Shadows on the door panel which resemble smears are reflections from the oven light. Appliances with stainless steel fronts Always remove any flecks of limescale, grease, cornflour and egg white immediately. Corrosion can form under such flecks. 23 Use stainless steel care products. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Try out the product on a small area first, before using on the whole surface. Appliances with aluminium fronts Use a mild window cleaning detergent. Wipe the area with a soft window cloth or a fluff free micro fibre cloth, using a horizontal action without applying pressure. Aggressive cleaning products, scratchy sponges and rough cleaning cloths are not suitable. Oven Never use coarse scouring pads or cleaning sponges. Oven cleaner may only be used on enamelled oven surfaces. For ease of cleaning you can switch on the oven light and detach the oven door.

Close the door a little more and pull it out. After cleaning, refit the oven door in the reverse order to removal. 24 Self cleaning surfaces in the oven The rear panel in the oven is coated with a highly porous ceramic layer. This coating absorbs and dispels splashes from baking and roasting while the oven is in operation. You will obtain a better result, the higher the temperature and the longer the oven is in operation. If splashes are still visible even after repeated use, proceed as follows: First clean the enamel surfaces in the oven. Then select 3D hot air T or top and bottom heating t. Heat up the empty oven for approximately 2 hours at maximum temperature. The ceramic coating is regenerated. Brownish or whitish residues can be removed with water and a soft sponge. Light discolouration of the coating does not affect automatic self-cleaning. Important notes Never use abrasive detergent. You will scratch or destroy the highly porous coating. Never clean the rear panel with oven cleaner. If oven cleaner accidentally gets onto the rear panel, remove it immediately with a sponge and plenty of water. Cleaning the oven floor, the oven ceiling and the side walls Use hot soapy water or a vinegar solution. It is best to use oven cleaner if the oven is very dirty. Only use oven cleaner in a cold oven. Never use oven cleaner on the self cleaning rear wall of the oven. Note: Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures. This can cause some slight colour variation. This is normal and does not affect the function. Do not use coarse scouring pads or strong cleaning agents to remove such discolorations. The edges of thin trays cannot be completely enamelled. As a result, these edges can be rough. Anti corrosion protection is guaranteed. 25 Cleaning the glass cover for the oven light It is best to clean the glass cover with washing up liquid. Cleaning the glass panels The glass panel on the oven door can be removed to assist in cleaning. 1. Remove the oven door and lay it on a cloth with the handle underneath. 2. Unscrew the cover at the top of the oven door. To do this, undo the right and left hand screws (Fig. A) 3. Slide out the panel. (Fig. B) Clean the glass panel with glass cleaner and a soft cloth.

Tables and tips This table contains a selection of dishes and the optimum settings at which to cook them. You can find out which type of heating and temperature is best for your dish, which accessories to use, and at which oven level the dish should be inserted. You will find a variety of tips about ovenware and preparation, and a small troubleshooting section in case anything should go wrong. Cakes and pastries Baking on one level If you are baking cakes on one level, you should use top/bottom heating t. This will give the best results for your cakes. It is best to use dark coloured baking tins made of metal. Baking times are increased when light coloured baking tins made of thin metal or glass dishes are used, and cakes do not brown so evenly. Always place the cake tin on the wire grill. Baking tins 30 If you are cooking using three tins at the same time, position these as illustrated. Tables The values in the table apply to dishes placed in a cold oven. This saves energy. Shorten the baking times indicated by 5 to 10 minutes if you have preheated the oven. The tables show which type of heating is best for different cakes and bakes. The temperature and cooking time you select depends on the quantity and type of pastry. This is why ranges" are given in the tables. You should try to use a lower temperature setting to start with, since this allows more even browning. If necessary, use a higher temperature setting the next time. More information can be found in the Baking tips" section which follows the tables.

Refer to the instructions in the tables for similar types of food. Approximately 10 minutes before the end of the baking time given in the recipe, pierce the tallest point of the cake with a cocktail stick. The cake is done if the cocktail stick comes out clean. Next time, use less liquid or decrease the oven temperature by 10 degrees. Observe the cooking times in the recipe. The cake collapses. 33 The cake has risen in the centre but is lower at the edges. The cake is too dark at the top. The cake is too dry. Do not grease the sides of the springform cake tin. As soon as the cake is done, carefully loosen the cake around the edges using a knife. Insert it at a lower level in the oven, select a lower temperature and cook the cake a little while longer. Use a toothpick to make small holes in the finished cake. Then drizzle fruit juice or alcohol over the top. Next time you should decrease the temperature by around 10 degrees and reduce the baking times. Next time you should add a little less liquid and cook for a little longer at a lower temperature. Cakes with fruit topping: Precook the base first of all. Sprinkle with almonds or breadcrumbs and then place the topping over this. Please observe the recipe and the baking times. Select a slightly lower temperature to ensure that the pastry is baked more evenly. Delicate pastry should be baked on one level using top/bottom heating t. Baking paper that protrudes over the food can affect the air circulation. For this reason, always cut the baking paper to fit the baking tray. Use the deeper universal pan next time. Always use 3D hot air T when baking on several levels. Baking trays that are placed in the oven at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time. Baking may result in the formation of water vapour. It escapes above the door handle. The steam may settle and form water droplets on the control panel or on the fronts of adjacent units. This is a normal physical process. The bread or cake (e.g. cheesecake) looks fine, but is soggy on the inside (soft, with watery areas). The pastry is unevenly browned. The fruit cake is too light at the bottom. The fruit juice flows over. You were baking on several levels. The food on the top baking tray is darker than that on the bottom baking tray. Condensation is formed when baking cakes containing fresh fruit. 34 Meat, poultry, fish Ovenware You may use any heat resistant dishes. The universal pan is also suitable for larger roasts. Always place the dishes in the centre of the wire grill. Hot glass dishes should be placed on a dry kitchen towel after being removed from the oven. The glass could crack if placed on a cold or wet surface. Advice on roasting The roasting result depends on the type and quality of meat. Add 2 to 3 soup spoons of liquid to lean meat, and 8 to 10 soup spoons of liquid to pot roasts, depending on the size. Meat should be turned half way through the cooking time. When the roast is ready, switch off the oven and leave the roast to stand for 10 minutes with the oven door closed. This allows the meat juices to distribute more favourably. Advice on grilling Always close the oven door when grilling. If possible, use pieces of meat which are of the same thickness. They should be at least 2 to 3 cm thick. Such pieces will be browned evenly and stay juicy and soft in the middle. Only salt the steaks after they have been grilled. Place the pieces of meat directly onto the wire grill. If you are grilling just one piece of meat, it will turn out best if you place it in the centre of the wire grill. You should also insert the universal pan with the grill pan at level 1. The meat juices are collected here and the oven is kept clean. Turn the pieces of meat after two thirds of the cooking time indicated. 35 The grill element automatically switches itself off and back on again. This is normal. The number of times this happens depends on the grill setting you have selected. Meat The table applies to insertion into a cold oven. The time specifications are provided as guidelines only and depend on the type and quality of the meat.

Poultry The table applies to dishes placed in a cold oven. The weights indicated in the table refer to oven ready poultry (without stuffing). If you are grilling directly on the wire rack, you should also insert the universal pan at level 1. Pierce the skin of duck or goose under the wings to enable the fat to run off. Turn whole poultry after two thirds of the grilling time. 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.

Tips for roasting and grilling The table does not contain specifications for the weight of the roast. How can you tell when the roast is ready. Select the next lowest weight from the instructions and extend the time. Use a meat thermometer (available from specialist stores) or implement a spoon test". Press a spoon onto the roast. If it feels firm, it is ready. If it can be pressed in, it needs to be cooked for a little longer. Check the insertion level and temperature. Next time, use a smaller roasting dish and add more liquid. Next time, use a larger roasting dish and add less liquid. Most escapes through the steam outlet, some may condense on the cool control panel front or the surrounding cabinets where it will drip off. This will be dependent on the physical conditions. The roast is too dark and the crackling is partly burnt. The roast looks good, but the sauce is burnt. The roast looks good, but the sauce is too light and watery. Steam rises from the roast when the stock is added. 38 Bakes, gratins, toast Meal The table applies to dishes placed in a cold oven.

This is caused by the considerable temperature fluctuations which affect the accessories. This warping is eliminated during the baking process. Defrosting Remove the food from its packaging and place it in a suitable dish on the wire grill. Please observe the instructions on the packaging.

Once dried, remove the food from the paper immediately. Preserving Preparation The jars and rubber sealing rings must be clean and intact. Use jars of the same size if possible. The instructions in the table refer to round 1 litre jars. Caution Do not use larger or taller jars. The lid could crack. Only use perfectly fresh fruit and vegetables. Wash them thoroughly. Pour the fruit or vegetables into the jars. Wipe clean the tops of the jars again if necessary. They must be clean. Place a wet rubber sealing ring and lid on each jar and lock the jars using clamps. Do not place more than six jars in the oven. The times specified in the tables are guidelines only. They can be influenced by the room temperature, the number of jars and the amount and temperature of the jar contents. Before you change settings or switch off the appliance, make sure that the contents of the jars are actually bubbling. Setting procedure 1. Place the universal pan on level 2. Place the jars inside the pan so that they do not come into contact with each other. 2. Pour ½ litre of hot water (approx. 80 °C) into the universal pan. 3. Close the oven door. 4. Switch the function selector to s. 5. Set the temperature selector to 170 to 180 °C. As soon as the contents of the jars begins to simmer, that is when small bubbles appear at short intervals after about 40 to 50 minutes turn off the temperature selector. The function selector remains switched on. Preserving fruit 41 The jars should be removed from the oven after being reheated for 25 to 35 minutes. If the food is left to cool in the oven for longer, bacteria might form, causing the preserved fruit to spoil prematurely. Switch off the function selector. Fruit in 1 litre jars Apples, red/blackcurrants, strawberries Cherries, apricots, peaches, gooseberries Apple purée, pears, plums Preserving vegetables After bubbling turn off turn off turn off Reheating approx. 25 minutes approx. 30 minutes approx. 35 minutes As soon as the contents of the jars begins to simmer, set the temperature selector back to approximately 120 to 140 ºC. The table shows when you can switch off the temperature selector Allow the vegetables to stand in the oven for a further 30 to 35 minutes. The function selector remains switched on during this time. After bubbling 120 140 ºC approx. 35 minutes approx. 45 minutes approx. 60 minutes approx. 70 minutes Reheating approx. 35 minutes approx. 30 minutes approx. 30 minutes approx. 30 minutes approx. 30 minutes Vegetables with cold stock in 1 litre jars Cucumbers Beetroot Brussel sprouts Beans, kohlrabi, red cabbage Peas Remove the jars Never place the hot jars on a cold or wet surface as this could cause the glass to crack. 42 Energy saving tips Only preheat the oven if it specifies in the recipe or in the table in the instruction manual that you should do so. Use non stick, black painted or enamelled tins. They absorb the heat especially well. If you have several cakes to bake it is best to bake them one after the other. The oven is still warm. This shortens the baking time for the second cake. You can also put two baking tins in one after the other. For long cooking times, the oven can be switched off 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time and the remaining heat can be used to finish the cooking. Acrylamide in foodstuffs Which foods are affected? Acrylamide is mainly produced in grain and potato products heated at high temperatures, such as potato crisps, chips, toast, rolls, bread, baked goods (biscuits, gingerbread, cookies). Tips for keeping acrylamide to a minimum when preparing food General Keep cooking times to a minimum. Cook meals until they are golden brown, not too dark. Large, thick pieces of food contain less acrylamide. With top/bottom heating, maximum 200 ºC, with 3D hot air or hot air, maximum 180 ºC. With top/bottom heating, maximum 190 ºC, with 3D hot air or hot air, maximum 170 ºC. Egg white and egg yolk reduce the formation of acrylamide. Spread out a single layer evenly on the baking tray. Bake at least 400 g per baking tray so that the chips do not dry out.
