Electrical connection Safety information Hot oven 4 Reasons for damage Baking tray, aluminium foil or dishes on the oven floor Do not place the baking tray on the oven floor. Do not cover it with aluminium foil. Do not place dishes on the oven floor. This will cause heat accumulation. The baking and roasting times will no longer be correct and the enamel will be damaged. If using circotherm, do not place greaseproof paper loosely in the oven (e.g. when heating the oven). The hot-air fan could draw in the paper which may damage the heater and fan. Never pour water directly into a hot oven. This could damage the enamel. When baking very moist fruit cakes, do not put too much on the baking sheet. Fruit juice dripping from the baking sheet leaves stains that cannot be removed. It is recommended that you use the deeper universal pan. Only leave the oven to cool with the door closed. Do not allow anything to become trapped in the oven door. Even if you only leave the oven door open slightly, the fronts of adjacent units may become damaged over time. If the oven seal is very dirty, the oven door will no longer close properly when the oven is in use. The fronts of adjacent units could be damaged. Keep the oven seal clean. Do not stand or sit on the oven door. Do not use high-pressure cleaners or steam jets.

The small oven has no automatic safety cut-off. 20 Baking ­ Main oven Using baking tins Always place baking tins in the centre of the baking grill. We recommend dark metallic baking tins. Notes Light coloured baking tins made from thin-wall materials lead to longer baking times and uneven browning of the cake. You can influence the degree of browning by changing the temperature setting. If a cake collapses after removing it from the oven, consider using a longer baking time, or use a slightly lower temperature setting. Using tinplate baking tins * Circotherm Shelf position 1 If the cake bottom gets too dark: Check the slide-in level. Shorten the baking time, and possibly use a lower baking temperature. If the cake bottom stays too light: Check the slide-in level. Increase the baking time, select a lower temperature, or use a dark metal baking tin. Do not place baking forms or high cakes too close to the rear oven wall. 21 Cooking Tips and Helpful Hints The bottom of a cake baked on a baking sheet stays too light The bottom of a cake baked in a tin stays too light The bottom of cake or cookies gets too dark The cake gets too dry The cake is too moist on the inside Remove from the oven all baking sheets or universal baking pan currently not in use. Use a grill and not a baking sheet to support the cake tin during baking. Set cake or cookies into a higher set of slide-in levels. Select a slightly higher oven temperature, and shorter baking time. Choose a slightly lower baking temperature. Note: Higher temperatures do not shorten baking times (done on the outside, raw on the inside). Choose a slightly longer baking time, allow the dough to rise slightly longer. Add less liquid to the dough. When baked with circotherm Avoid blocking the air vents at the rear wall of the circulation, cake baked in oven cavity with the cake tins. round or square tins gets too dark at the rear Very moist cake dough (e.g. fruit cake) causes a lot of steam to generate in the oven that condenses on the oven door. Very uneven browning when using circotherm circulation Cake collapses when taken out of the oven To save energy You can let the steam escape from the oven and thereby reduce the forming of water droplets by briefly and carefully opening the oven door (once or twice, in case of longer baking times more often). Check the slide-in level. Use less liquid. Preheat only if expressly required by the recipe. Dark baking tins have a higher degree of heat absorption. Residual heat: In the case of longer baking times, you can switch off the oven 5-10 minutes before the full baking time has elapsed. 22 Roasting ­ Main oven Place the grill into the universal baking pan and slide them together into the same slide-in level. Meat can be roasted in the oven in a particularly economical fashion if the weight of the cut exceeds 750 grams. Roasting in an uncovered pot Rinse the universal baking pan and/or the roaster with water, and place the meat into it. With fat meat and poultry, pour 125 to 250 ml of water (to suit the size and kind of roast) into the universal pan. At your discretion, baste lean meat with fat, or cover it with bacon strips. The roast drippings collecting in the universal pan make a tasty gravy. Dissolve the drippings with hot water, bring to a boil, thicken with corn starch, season to taste and, if required, pass it through a strainer. No preheating is required. Save energy by putting the roast into the oven while it is still cold. Roasting in a covered pot Place the meat into the roasting pot (or Dutch oven), cover it with a matching lid, and place it on the grill in the oven. We recommend that beef roast be prepared in a covered roasting pot. Roasting on the roasting sheet (Optional accessory available from your dealer). Place the roasting sheet into the universal pan. The roasting sheet prevents soiling of the oven. Grease and juice drippings from the roast are collected in the universal pan. 23 Tips Big, high roasts, goose, turkey, duck = Long roasting times, low temperatures Medium sized, low roasts = Medium roasting times, medium temperatures Small, flat roasts = Short roasting times, high temperatures Roasting time per cm of meat height without bones app. 13-15 minutes Roasting time per cm of meat height with bones app. 15-18 minutes We recommend using the lower of the stated temperatures first. In general, the lower temperature ensures a more even browning. We recommend turning the roast after half or two thirds of the roasting time have elapsed. For roasting, use only cookware with oven-proof handles. Prepare large roast directly in the universal pan, without using the grill. Smaller cuts of roast can be roasted on aluminium foil. To do so, bend the edges of the foil upward, as if to form a dish, and place it on the grill. After the end of the selected roasting time and with the oven switched OFF, leave the roast in the closed oven for approx. 10 minutes. The roast is not done on the inside Use a lower roasting temperature. Note: Higher temperatures do not shorten roasting times (done on the outside, raw on the inside). Choose slightly longer roasting times. You can let the steam escape from the oven and thereby reduce the forming of water droplets by briefly and carefully opening the oven door (once or twice, in case of longer roasting times more often). Very moist roasts (e.g. roasts prepared with water) cause a lot of steam to generate in the oven that condenses on the oven door. 24 Grilling ­ Main oven Exercise CAUTION when grilling. Always keep children at a safe distance. Notes on grilling Always close the oven door when grilling. The grilling temperatures are variable. Always use the grill and the universal pan. Always place food to be grilled in the centre of the wire grill. If the grill element (heating element) switches OFF automatically, the overheating protection was activated. The radiator will be reactivated after a short period of time. Place the grill into the universal baking pan and slide them together into the same slide-in level. 25 Circo-roasting , Use this method for particularly crispy poultry or roast (e.g., pork roast with crackling). Use the grill and universal pan together. Turn large roasts after about half of the total grilling time has elapsed. To prevent breakage after removing them from the oven, place glass utensils on a dry kitchen towel instead of cold or wet surfaces. Dependent on the type of food being prepared, combination hot-air and surface grilling can cause an increased degree of oven soiling. Therefore, to prevent burning-in of the soil, thorough cleaning of the oven is recommended after each use. Whole poultry should be turned after approx. two-thirds of the cooking time has elapsed. With duck and goose, pierce the skin under the wings to allow excess fat to drain off. After the end of the selected roasting time and with the oven switched OFF, leave the roast in the closed oven for approx. 10 minutes. Surface grilling Large area grill Used for smaller dishes having little height/thickness. Always use the grill and universal pan together. Turn the food after approx. two-thirds of the grilling time has elapsed. At your discretion, lightly baste the grill and the food with oil. ( Small area grill ) 26 Switching the Oven ON and OFF Mini oven Function selector Before switching on your oven, you should decide which heating system you wish to use. Switching the oven ON: 1. Use the function selector to determine the desired system. 2. Set the temperature control knob to the desired temperature. The selected temperature will be controlled automatically. The oven temperature control lamp illuminates when the oven is first switched on, and extinguishes when the required temperature has been reached. Temperature selector Switching the oven OFF: To switch the oven OFF, turn both the temperature selector and functions selector to the »0« position. Notes: The appliance features a cooling fan which runs until the oven has cooled down. 27 Roasting ­ Mini oven Roasting with Follow the steps above. With fatty meat conventional heat/ 125 ­ 250 ml (4 ­ 8floz) of water can be poured into the roasting pan. Baste the meat if desired. Place in a cold oven to save energy or pre-heat if desired. Casseroling or pot-roasting in a covered dish Some meats should be prepared in liquid in a covered casserole. This type of cooking is suitable for less tender cuts of meat. Place the casserole on the wire shelf at a suitable shelf position. Cooking tips Only use ovenproof cookware. Extra large turkeys and joints can be placed directly in the roasting pan and not on the wire shelf. Cover large turkeys with foil during cooking. Remove foil during the last hour. 28 Grilling­ Mini oven Exercise CAUTION when grilling. Always keep children at a safe distance. Notes on grilling Always close the oven door when grilling. The grilling temperatures are variable. Always use the grill and the universal pan. Always place food to be grilled in the centre of the wire grill. If the grill element (heating element) switches OFF automatically, the overheating protection was activated. The radiator will be reactivated after a short period of time. Place the grill into the universal baking pan and slide them together into the same slide-in level. Surface grilling Large area grill Used for smaller dishes having little height/thickness. Always use the grill and universal pan together. Turn the food after approx. two-thirds of the grilling time has elapsed. At your discretion, lightly baste the grill and the food with oil. ( Small area grill ) 29 Defrosting and cooking ­ Main oven Defrosting and cooking using the Circotherm * Important heating system information For defrosting and cooking of frozen or deepfrozen foods, use only the circotherm. With all deep-frozen foods, follow the food processing company`s instructions on the package. As a rule, defrosted frozen or deep-frozen foods (especially meats) require less cooking time than fresh products, since freezing has a pre-cooking effect. If frozen meat is placed in the oven, the defrosting time must be added to the required cooking time. Always defrost deep-frozen poultry before cooking because the giblets must be removed. For cooking deep-frozen fish, use the same temperatures as for fresh fish. Deep-frozen ready-to-eat meals in aluminium dishes may be placed into the oven several at a time. Frozen vegetables (i.e., when cooking complete meals) should be cooked in a covered pot together with the roast. Use only approximately half of the liquid specified in the recipe. Use fat only for adding flavour. Slide-in levels With 1 baking sheet: With 2 baking sheets: Slide-in level 1 Slide-in levels 1 + 3. All stated times are approximate guidelines that vary with the shape and volume of deep-frozen products. 30 Defrosting Raw deep-frozen products or foods from a freezer always defrost at 50° C. Higher defrosting temperatures may cause the food to dry out. Defrost deep-frozen meals packed in aluminium foil or closed aluminium containers at a setting of 130 ­ 140° C. Place frozen meals packed in plastic bags or plastic containers in a pot filled with water. Cover the pot and defrost at 130 ­ 140° C. Attention: Pot handles must be oven-proof. Defrost and warm up deep-frozen baked goods at 100 ­ 140° C. Brush bread, rolls or yeast pastry lightly with water to make the crust more appealing.

Switching off Turn the function selector to the { position. 33 Cleaning and Care Important cleaning basics For cleaning, do not use abrasives, no corrosive cleaners, and no sharp objects. Do not scratch off burnt-in food residues, but soak them off with a moist cloth and dishwashing detergent. Special cleaners, such as oven cleaning spray, must not be used on aluminium or plastic parts. Stainless steel front When using commercially available stainless steel cleaning agents, the lettering may become damaged. Do not use scouring sponges. Use commercially available detergents applied to a soft, moistened cloth or a chamois. Enamel and glass Use hot detergent suds for cleaning. Remove the oven door before cleaning the enamel surface. Oven door pane The temperature of the pane inside the oven door is reduced by a heat-reflecting coating. The reduced temperature ensures that visibility through the oven door window is not impaired. When the oven door is open, this coating may have a bright appearance. This is quite normal and does not indicate a quality defect. 34 Oven interior Clean the oven after each use, especially after roasting or grilling. Food remnants burn in when the oven is reheated. The baked in remnants are very difficult to remove once burnt in. You can reduce the degree of soiling by frequent cleaning using the cooking system. Do not clean the warm oven with any of the cleaning products specifically designed for this purpose. When baking very moist cake, use the universal baking pan. For roasting, use the appropriate utensils (Dutch oven). Clean the oven before soiling becomes too heavy. Wash out the oven cavity with hot detergent suds. Leave the door open until the interior has dried. 35 Catalytic oven surfaces Cleaning the catalytic surfaces of the oven The rear wall of the oven is coated with self-cleaning enamel. The surface cleans itself while the oven is in operation. Large splashes sometimes only disappear after the oven has been used several times. Never use oven cleaner on the back wall of the oven. Should the enamel become slightly stained, this will not affect its self-cleaning properties. 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. 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. 36 Main oven AquaCleanse d The oven cleaning function featured in your oven is intended to help you keep your oven neat and tidy. An amount of cleaning solution is vaporised automatically. The combined effects of heat and steam soften the soil deposits on the oven wall enamel and facilitate their removal. Caution: Use this function only after the oven has completely cooled (room temperature). Use normal water only, and no distilled water. Activate oven cleaning: 1. Remove the baking sheet and the universal baking pan from the oven. The baking grill may remain in the oven. 2. Pour approx. 400 ml of water mixed with a little dishwashing detergent into the floor pan of the oven cavity. In the case of heavy soil build-up, you may wish to allow the cleaning solution to soak in for a while before you activate the cleaning function. 3. Close the oven door. Warning: The cleaning system can only be activated when the oven has cooled down completely. 4. Turn the function selector to the dposition. The d indicator light and the ; indicator light for oven temperature illuminate. * is displayed. If * flashes, the oven has not cooled down completely. After the initial heating time (approx. 4 minutes) the oven temperature control lamp extinguishes. After a further 17 minutes the program cycle is completed. A buzzer sounds. Switching the oven OFF: Turn the function selector to the 0 position. 37 After deactivating the oven cleaning function Cleaning tips: Never leave the residual water in the oven for any length of time, e.g. overnight. 1. Open the oven door and pick up the remaining water with a large absorbent sponge cloth. 2. Using the detergent-soaked sponge cloth, a soft brush or a plastic pot scrubber, wipe of the oven interior. Stubborn soil remnants can be removed with a cleaning scraper for glass-ceramic. Caution: Use the scraper carefully, and do not apply the tool at too flat an angle, because the enamel could be scratched! 3. Calciferous deposits may be removed with a cloth soaked in vinegar. 4. Wipe clean with clear water and dry with a soft cloth (do not forget to wipe under the oven door seal). Cleaning tips: If the oven is heavily soiled, the procedure may be repeated after the oven has cooled. If the oven is heavily soiled with grease, e.g. after roasting or grilling, we would recommend rubbing any stubborn dirt with detergent before activating the oven cleaning function. After cleaning, leave the oven door in its slanted detent position, i.e., at a 30-degree angle, to allow the interior enamel surfaces to dry thoroughly. Rapid drying 1. Place the oven door into the slanted detent position, at an angle of approximately 30 degrees. 2. Turn the function selector to position *. 3. Reduce the oven temperature with the temperature selector until 50° C is displayed. 4. Duration: approximately 5 minutes. 5. Then switch the oven off. 38 Mini oven Oven Cleaning } Automatic oven cleaning Oven cleaning } is a regeneration programme. If the self-cleaning panels in the oven are no longer adequately cleaned during normal day-to-day operation, they will be regenerated with this function. They will then be fully functional again. Take the accessories and utensils out of the oven. Before switching on automatic oven cleaning, thoroughly clean the areas of the oven that do not have self cleaning panels, e.g. enamelled areas such as the oven floor, inner door. This will prevent residue from burning in. The oven becomes very hot during automatic oven cleaning ­ always keep children away. Setting procedure 1.
