Types of heating Different types of oven heating are available. You can therefore select the best method for cooking any dish. Defrosting A fan in the rear wall of the oven circulates the air in the oven around the frozen food. Frozen pieces of meat, poultry, bread and cakes defrost evenly. 10 CircoTherm hot air A fan in the rear wall distributes the heat from the heating element evenly inside the oven. This means that the heat is transferred particularly effectively to the items you are baking or roasting. Using CircoTherm hot air, it is possible to bake cakes and pizza on two levels. You can cook biscuits and puff pastry on three levels at the same time. Additional baking trays may be obtained from specialist shops. The required oven temperatures are lower than those for Top/bottom heating. CircoTherm hot air is ideally suited to preserving and defrosting. Pizza setting For this, Bottom heating is switched on in addition to CircoTherm hot air. This type of heating is particularly suitable for fresh, juicy meals and for frozen foods. It is ideal for sweet strudel or frozen pizza and chips. Top/bottom heating This ensures even distribution of heat onto the cake or roast from the top and bottom of the oven. This type of heating is best for sponge cakes in tins or for bakes. Top and bottom heating is also suitable for cooking lean joints of beef, veal and game. 11 Bottom heating Only the bottom heating element in the oven heats up. You can use Bottom heating for the final baking of dishes that require particular browning on the underside. To achieve this, use Bottom heating at the end of the baking or roasting time. Full surf. area grill The entire area under the grill element becomes hot. This is ideal if you wish to grill several steaks, sausages, pieces of fish or slices of bread. Centre area grill Only the middle section of the grill heating element is switched on. This type of heating is ideal for cooking small quantities This saves energy. Place the pieces to be grilled in the centre of the wire rack. Thermo 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. 12 Oven and accessories The accessories can be inserted into the oven at 4 different heights. The shelf heights are counted from bottom to top and are marked on the oven. You can remove the shelf two thirds of the way without it tipping. This allows the meals to be removed easily. Do not use shelf height 2 for types of heating with CircoTherm hot air. The air circulation would otherwise be impaired. Accessories Cranked wire rack For ovenware, cake tins, roasts, grilling and frozen meals. Insert the wire rack curving downwards (. Close meshed wire rack For ovenware, roasts, grilling and frozen meals. Enamelled baking tray for cakes and biscuits. Accessories may be purchased from the after sales service or from specialist shops. The availability of accessories varies from country to country.

Hook the shelves back in place. To do this, please refer to the care and cleaning section. Note Under normal use, it is usually sufficient to clean the oven every two to three months. Cleaning only requires approximately 2.5 to 4.7 kilowatt hours. The special heat resistant enamel and the shiny parts in the oven may become dull or discoloured after time. This is normal and does not affect their function. Do not use coarse scouring pads or strong cleaning agents to remove such discolouration. Care and cleaning Do not use high pressure cleaners or steam jets. 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. 27 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.

It is best to use oven cleaner if the oven is very dirty. Only use oven cleaner in a cold 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. Cleaning the glass cover for the oven light Cleaning the oven door cover It is best to clean the glass cover with washing up liquid. The oven door cover can become discoloured. You must remove the cover in order to clean it. Proceed as follows: 1. Open the oven door fully. 2. Unscrew the cover at the top of the oven door. To do this, undo the right and left hand screws. 3. Remove the coverMake sure that the oven door is not closed while the cover is removed. The inner glass may be damaged. Clean the cover with a stainless steel cleaning agent. 4. Replace the cover and fasten it. 5. Close the oven door. 29 Cleaning the glass panels The glass panels on the oven door can be removed to assist in cleaning. Make sure when removing the inner glass panels that you replace the panels in the same order. Use the numbers on the panels to do this. Removal 1. Remove the oven door and lay it down on a cloth with the handle facing downwards. 2. Unscrew the cover at the top of the oven door. Turn the screws clockwise or anti clockwise to do this (Fig. A). 3.

Note You can buy the accessories and optional accessories mentioned from the after sales service or specialist retailers. 35 Baking Baking in baking tins Always place the baking tin in the centre of the wire rack. We recommend dark coloured metal baking tins. Notes The baking time is increased if you use a light coloured baking tin made of thin material or a glass dish, and the cake will not brown so evenly. The temperature setting affects the degree of browning. If a cake collapses after it is removed from the oven, select a longer baking time or set a lower temperature. Baking on baking trays Push the baking tray into the oven with the sloping edge facing towards the oven door. Push the accessory carefully into the oven to prevent damage. Always push the baking trays into the oven as far as the stop. Only use original baking trays. Q CircoTherm hot air t Top/bottom heating shelf height 1 shelf height 1 Baking in tin plate tins If the cake is too dark underneath: Check the shelf height. Shorten the baking time and select a lower temperature. If the cake is too light underneath: Check the shelf height. Lengthen the baking time and select a lower temperature. Or use a black baking tin. Do not place baking tins or tall items of food directly in front of the rear wall of the oven. 36 Baking table The details in the table are guidelines that apply to enamelled and dark coloured baking tins. The values may vary depending on the type and amount of dough/mixture and on the baking tin. Observe the notes in the table about preheating. We recommend that you set the lower of the specified temperatures the first time. This will generally allow more even browning. If you are baking according to your own recipe, use similar recipes in the table as a guide.

How to check that a sponge cake is cooked properly. 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. 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 cake is baked more evenly. 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. Check the shelf height. The cake collapses. 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. The bread or cake (e.g. cheesecake) looks fine, but is soggy on the inside (soft, with watery areas). The cake is unevenly browned. The cake is unevenly browned when using CircoTherm hot air Q. You were baking on several levels. The food on the top baking tray is darker than that on the bottom baking tray. Condensation forms when baking cakes containing fresh fruit. Always use CircoTherm hot air Q 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, which escapes via the door. 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. 40 Meat, poultry, fish Ovenware You may use any heat resistant ovenware. The universal pan is also suitable for larger roasts. Always place the ovenware in the centre of the wire rack. It is best to place hot glass dishes on a dry kitchen towel after removal from the oven. The glass could crack if placed on a cold or wet surface. Roasting Place the wire rack in the universal pan and slide them in at the same shelf height. The universal pan can be purchased from specialist retailers (see Accessories). The roasting result depends on the type and quality of the meat. Depending on the size of the joint, add 2 or 3 tablespoons of liquid to lean meat and 8 to 10 tablespoons of liquid to pot roasts. Turn pieces of meat halfway through the cooking time. When the roast is ready, turn off the oven and allow it to rest for an additional 10 minutes. This allows better distribution of meat juices. Roasting on the roasting sheet (available as an accessory from specialist retailers) Place the roasting sheet in the universal pan The roasting sheet reduces level of soiling in the oven. Dripping fat and meat juices are caught in the universal pan. If you are using the roasting sheet, you can set a slightly higher temperature than specified if you want the roast to be particularly crispy. 41 Grilling d Care is required when grilling. Keep children at a safe distance. Always grill with the oven door closed. The pieces of food you are grilling should be of equal thickness. They should be at least 2 to 3 cm thick. This will allow them to grill evenly and prevent them from drying out. Do not add salt to the steaks until they have been grilled. Always use the wire rack and the universal pan. Place the wire rack in the universal pan. Slide them in at the specified shelf height. The universal pan can be purchased from specialist retailers (see Accessories). Place the food to be grilled directly on the wire rack. If you are grilling a single piece, it is best to place it in the centre of the wire rack. Turn the food over after two thirds of the specified time has elapsed. The grill element switches on and off continually. This is normal. The weights indicated in the table refer to oven ready poultry (without stuffing). When cooking duck or goose, pierce the skin on the underside of the wings to allow the fat to escape. 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. 42 Roasting table The values in the table are average values.

Select the next lowest weight from the instructions and extend the time. Use a meat thermometer (available from specialist shops) or carry out a spoon test". Press down on the roast with a spoon. If it feels firm, it is ready. If the spoon can be pressed in, it needs to be cooked for a little longer. Check the shelf position and temperature. Next time, use a smaller roasting dish or add more liquid. Next time, use a larger roasting dish or add less liquid. Use circo roasting instead of top/bottom heating. This prevents the bottom of the roast from becoming too hot, thereby producing less steam. The roast is too dark and the crackling is partly burnt. The roast looks good, but the juices are burnt. The roast looks good, but the juices are too clear and watery. Steam rises from the roast when the juice is basted. 45 Defrosting and cooking using hot air Q Important notes For defrosting and cooking frozen products, only use hot air mode. For all frozen food, always follow the instructions of the producer. When defrosted, frozen products (especially fish) normally need shorter cooking times than fresh products, because freezing acts as a sort of pre cooking. If frozen meat is placed in the oven, overall cooking time increases by the defrosting time. Always defrost frozen poultry before cooking so the giblets can be removed. Cook frozen fish at the same temperature as fresh fish. Large numbers of frozen ready meals in aluminium containers can be put in the oven at the same time. Shelf positions For 1 sheet: For 2 sheets: shelf position 1 shelf position 1+3 Cooking time information is based on average values. Actual cooking time is influenced by the shape and amount of frozen products. Defrosting Defrost raw frozen products or food from a freezer at 50 ºC. Higher defrosting temperatures may cause the food to dry out. Defrost packaged frozen dishes in aluminium foil or in closed aluminium containers at 130 140 ºC. Defrost and warm frozen baked goods at 100 140 ºC. Spread bread loaves, bread rolls or other leavened food with a thin layer of water to produce a nicer crust. Defrost dry frozen cakes on baking sheets at 160 170 ºC for 20 30 minutes. 46 Defrost moist frozen cakes (with fruit filling) at 160 170 ºC for 30 50 minutes. Also wrap the cakes in aluminium foil, so that the filling does not dry out. Defrost and toast frozen toast (with topping) at 160 170 ºC for approx. 20 minutes. Frozen pizza: Please follow the instructions of the producer. Defrost setting Y Especially suited to delicate cakes (e.g. cream gateauxs). Turn the function selector to the Y setting. Defrost cakes for 25 45 minutes depending on the size and type. Then remove it from the oven and leave it to continue defrosting for a further 30 45 minutes. For small quantities (slices) the in oven defrosting time is reduced to 15 20 minutes, and the time out of the oven to 10 15 minutes. 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. 47 Inserting glass jars Slide the universal pan in at shelf height 1. Position the preserving jars in a triangle. Maintain a distance of approximately 5 cm between the jars and the rear wall of the oven. Position the preserving jars in the universal pan so that they do not touch each other. Pour ½ litre of hot water (approx. 80 ºC) into the universal pan. Remove the jars Place the jars on an absorbent cloth. Cover them and protect them from draughts. Do not undo the clips until the jars have cooled down. Fruit, gherkins and tomato purée 1 Insert the jars (see above). 2 Select CircoTherm hot air Q and set to approx. 160 ºC. 3 The rear jar and the right hand jar in the second row start to bubble first. Jars containing ½+1 l after approx. 50 minutes. Jars containing 1½ l after approx. 60 minutes. As soon as the other jars start to bubble, switch off the oven. 4 Leave the jars in the closed oven for a few minutes: Raspberries, t b i R b i strawberries, cherries, gherkins 5 10 minutes Other fruit 10 15 minutes Tomato purée, apple purée 15 20 minutes Vegetables (except gherkins) 1 Insert the jars (see above). 2 Select CircoTherm hot air Q and set to approx. 160 ºC. 3 The rear jar and the right hand jar in the second row start to bubble first. Jars containing ½+1 l after approx. 50 minutes. Jars containing 1½ l after approx. 60 minutes. As soon as the other jars start to bubble, turn the oven temperature down to 100 ºC. 4 Allow the jars to continue boiling in the closed oven for approx. 60 minutes. Switch off the oven. Leave the jars in the oven for approximately another 15 30 minutes. 48 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. 49 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 CircoTherm hot air, maximum 180 ºC. With top/bottom heating, maximum 190 ºC, with CircoTherm 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. Baking Biscuits Oven chips 50
