Safety information

Electrical safety

•

This appliance must only be connected by a qualified installation engineer.

• In the event of a fault or damage to the appliance: Take the fuses out or switch off.

•

Repairs to the appliance must only be carried out by qualified service engineers. Considerable danger may result from improper repairs. If repairs become necessary, please contact our Customer Care Department or your dealer.

Children's safety

• Never leave small children unattended while the appliance is in operation.

• To protect against unauthorised use the appliance is equipped with a switch-on lock.

Safety during use

• This appliance should be used only for normal domestic cooking, roasting and baking of food.

• Be careful if connecting electrical appliances to sockets near to this appliance. Electrical leads must not be caught under the hot oven door.

•

Warning: Risk of burns! The interior surfaces of the oven become very hot during use.

• If you use ingredients containing alcohol in the oven, a slightly flammable mixture of alcohol and air may ensue. In this case, be careful when opening the door. Do not handle any sources of heat, sparks or naked flames when doing so.

• People (including children), who, because of their physical, sensory or mental capabilities or their inexperience or ignorance, are not able to use the appliance safely, should not use this appliance without supervision by or instruction from a responsible person.

Information on acrylamides According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of food, especially in products containing starch, can constitute a health risk due to acrylamides. Therefore we recommend cooking at the lowest possible temperatures and not browning foods too much.

How to avoid damage to the appliance

• Do not line the oven with aluminium foil and do not place a baking tray or saucepan etc. on the floor, as otherwise the oven enamel will be damaged by the heat build-up.

• Fruit juices dripping from the baking tray will leave stains, which you will not be able to remove. For very moist cakes, use a deep tray.

• Do not put any strain on the oven door when open.

• Never pour water directly into the oven when it is hot. This could cause damage to and discoloration of the enamel.

• Rough handling, especially around the edges of the front panel, can cause the glass to break.

• Do not store any flammable materials inside the oven. These could ignite when the oven is switched on.

• Do not store any moist foods inside the oven. This could cause damage to the enamel.

Description of appliance

• Do not leave dishes uncovered in the oven after switching off the cooling fan. Moisture may form inside the oven or on the glass door and also get onto the units.

Information on the oven enamel Changes to the colour of the oven's enamel surface as a result of use do not affect the appliance's suitability for normal and correct use. They therefore do not constitute a defect in terms of warranty law.

Principle

With Auto Cooking , the oven calculates the cooked time needed. Unlike conventional cooking, you do not need to set a type of heat or cooking time. Instead, you simply select the desired food type from the category menu.

" You can use Auto Cooking on one oven level only. Only use the fat filter when roasting! Otherwise the oven cannot calculate an optimal cooking time. To attain optimum results, you should use the recommended cookware and/or accessories. You can find further information in the section Tips, Charts and Advice.

Operation

Prior to first use

Adapts oven to the kitchen environment.

For best results with Auto Cooking , the oven must be adapted to the kitchen environment. This process is called Calibration and takes around 4 hours.

If you only want to use the oven for conventional cooking it does not need to be calibrated.

Please remember the following about Calibration

•

The Calibration must be used in room temperatures below 35°C.

•

Installing the oven for the Calibration in its final location.

• Connecting the oven for the Calibration to the power supply.

• Before Calibration, you must remove the grease filter.

• If you are changing location, power supply or one of the listed points, you must recali-

brate the oven so the Auto Cooking delivers best results.

You can find the calibration under Basic Settings, Calibration. After calibration the appliance is ready for use as soon as it has cooled down.

Manual baking and roasting

In case you wish to prepare meals with manual settings, the following tables and tips provide useful information. In the tables you will find a selection of dishes with the appropriate settings.

Baking

Oven levels

• Baking with Conventional Cooking is possible on one oven level.

• With Fan Cooking you can use up to three baking trays at the same time: 1 baking tray: e.g. oven level 3

1 baking tin: e.g. oven level 1

2 baking trays: e.g. oven levels 1 and 3

3 baking trays: Oven levels 1, 3 and 5

Tips, charts and information

Baking tins

• For best Conventional Cooking results, use tins made from dark metal and coated.

• For Fan Cooking you can also use light metal tins. General instructions

• Insert the tray with the bevel at the front

• With Conventional Cooking or Fan Cooking you can also bake with two cake tins next to one another on the oven shelf at the same time. This does not significantly increase the baking time.

If using frozen food, the inserted trays can warp during the cooking process. This is due to the large temperature difference between the frozen food and the oven temperature. After the trays have cooled, the deformation disappears.

Notes on the baking charts

• The following charts give the required temperature settings, cooking times and oven levels for a selection of typical dishes.

• Temperatures and baking times are for guidance only, as these will depend on the consistency of the mixture, the quantity and the type of baking tin.

• We recommend setting the oven to a lower temperature for the first time and only setting a higher temperature when required, e.g. If the baking is taking too long, choose a higher temperature setting.

• If you cannot find the settings for a particular recipe of your own, look for a similar one.

• If baking cakes on baking trays or in tins on more than one level, baking time can be extended by 10-15 minutes.

• Pizzas, fruit flans, etc.) are baked on one level.

•

Cakes and pastries at different heights may brown at an uneven rate at first. You should not change the temperature setting if this occurs . Different rates of browning even out as baking progresses.

Unless otherwise stated, the values given in the charts assume that cooking is started with the oven cold.

Roasting

Insert the grease filter when roasting!

Ovenware for roasting

• Any heat-resistant ovenware is suitable to use for roasting. (Please follow the manufacturer's instructions.)

•

You can place large roasts directly in the roasting tray or on the shelf with the

roasting tray underneath.

Tips, charts and information

•

We recommend roasting leaner cuts in a roasting pan with a lid. The meat will be

more succulent.

• All types of meat which are supposed be browned or form a crust or crackling can be roasted in a roasting pan without a lid.

The information given in the following charts is for guidance only.

•

We recommend meat and fish weighing 1 kg or more for roasting in the oven.

• To prevent escaping meat juices or fat from burning on to the pan, we recommend placing some liquid in the roasting cookware.

• If required, turn the roast after 1/2 - 2/3 of the cooking time.

• Use the cooking juices to baste large roasts and poultry several times during the cooking time. This will give better roasting results.

Low temperature cooking

With Slow Cook the meat becomes beautifully tender and remains particularly succulent. We recommend this function for tender, lean pieces of meat and fish. Slow Cook is not suitable for pot roasts or fatty pork roasts. We recommend 120°C for smaller pieces of meat, e.g. steaks. We recommend 150°C for larger pieces of meat, e.g. fillet of beef.

When using the heating function Slow Cook always cook dishes uncovered without a lid.

1. Sea r t he me at t o b e r oa sted in a p an on eac h s id e f or 1-2 m in s. at ve ry hi gh te mp eratu re .

2. Place meat in a roasting dish or directly on the oven shelf with the tray underneath to catch the fat.

3. Place it in the oven. Select heating function Slow Cook. If required, use the selector to select 150°C and cook until ready (see table).
