Water in a hot cooking compartment: do not pour water into
the cooking compartment when it is hot. This will cause steam. The temperature change can cause damage to the enamel.
Moist food: do not store moist food in the cooking
compartment when it is closed for prolonged periods This will damage the enamel.
Fruit juice: when baking particularly juicy fruit pies, do not
pack the baking tray too generously. Fruit juice dripping from the baking tray leaves stains that cannot be removed. If possible, use the deeper universal pan.
Cooling with the appliance door open: only allow the cooking
compartment to cool when it is closed. Even if the appliance door is only open a little, front panels of adjacent units could be damaged over time.
Very dirty door seal: If the door seal is very dirty, the
appliance door will no longer close properly when the appliance is in use. The fronts of adjacent units could be damaged.Always keep the door seal clean.
Appliance door as a seat, shelf or worktop: Do not sit on the
appliance door, or place or hang anything on it. Do not place any cookware or accessories on the appliance door.
Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance model,
accessories can scratch the door panel when closing the appliance door. Always insert the accessories into the cooking compartment as far as they will go.
Carrying the appliance: do not carry or hold the appliance by
the door handle. The door handle cannot support the weight of the appliance and could break.

Operating the appliance

In this section, you will find out how to switch your appliance on and off, and how to select an operating mode and temperature.

Switching on the appliance

1. Turn the operating mode selector until the desired operating
mode is selected.
2. Turn the temperature selector until the desired temperature is
selected.
The r indicator lamp lights up while the appliance is heating up and during any subsequent heating.

Baking

Do not use shelf height 2 when baking with the 3 2D-Hot air operating mode. The air circulation would be impaired and this will have a negative effect on your baking.

Baking accessories

Baking tins
Use dark-coloured metal baking tins. Tinplate and glass dishes increase the baking time required and the cake will not brown evenly. If you wish to bake using tinplate tins and % Top/ bottom heat, you should use shelf height 1.
Always place a loaf tin diagonally and a round baking tin in the centre of the wire rack.
Baking trays
We recommend that you only use original baking trays, as these have been optimally designed for the cooking compartment and the operating modes.
Always carefully push the baking trays in as far as they will go. Make sure that the sloping edge of the baking tray is facing the appliance door.
Note: Do not place food directly onto the aluminium baking tray. Line the aluminium baking tray with greaseproof paper.

Switching off the appliance

1. Turn the operating mode selector back to the Û position.
2. Turn the temperature selector back to the Ú position.
After the appliance is switched off, the cooling fan may continue to run.

Switching the hob on and off

Your hob comes with its own instructions for use. This contains important safety information, detailed set-up instructions and a lot of information on care and cleaning.

Baking on two levels

When baking on two levels, you should preferably use baking trays and put them in at the same time.
Bear in mind that your items may brown at different rates on each level. The items on the top level will brown most quickly and can be taken out earlier.

Baking table for basic doughs/cake mixtures

The information in the table is a guideline and applies to both aluminium baking trays and dark-coloured baking tins. The values may vary depending on the type and amount of dough/ mixture and on the baking tin.
The values for bread dough apply to both dough placed on a tray and dough placed in a loaf tin.
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 with your own recipe, use similar recipes in the table as a guide.
Observe the notes in the table about preheating.

each other.
If frozen products are unevenly browned when prebaked, then uneven browning is to be expected after baking.
Remove ice from frozen products before baking them. Do not use heavily frosted frozen products.

Roasting

: There is a risk of injury if you use roasting dishes that
are not heat-resistant!
Only use roasting dishes that are marked as being suitable for use in the oven.
Do not use shelf height 2 when roasting with 3 2D-Hot air. This will adversely affect air circulation and your roasting results will
8
not be as good.

Open roasting

For open roasting, a roasting dish without a lid is used.
Add liquid to the roasting dish if required. During roasting, the liquid in the roasting dish will evaporate. If necessary, carefully add more hot liquid.
Turn the roast approximately half to two thirds of the way through the roasting time.
Roasting in the universal pan
You can purchase the universal pan as an accessory at specialist retailers (see section: Accessories).
Juices escape from the roasting meat and are collected in the universal pan. You can use these juices as the basis for a tasty gravy.
You can also cook side dishes (e.g. vegetables) at the same time as roasting meat in the universal pan.
For smaller joints, you can use a smaller roasting dish instead of the universal pan. Place this directly on the wire rack.

Roasting with a lid

Roasting dishes with lids are used for this kind of roasting. This method is particularly suitable for pot roasts.

Roasting table

The roasting time and temperature depend on the size, height, type and quality of the item.
As a general rule: the larger the item, the lower the temperature and the longer the roasting time.
The information in the table is a guideline, and relates to items cooked without a lid. The values may vary depending on the type and quantity of the meat/fish and on the roasting dish.
You should set the lower of the specified temperatures the first time. This will generally allow more even browning.
At the end of the roasting time, switch the oven off and leave the roast to rest for approximately 10 minutes in the cooking compartment with the door closed. The recommended rest time is not included in the given roasting times.
The information in the table is for food placed in a cold oven and for meat/fish taken directly from the refrigerator.

Grilling

Caution!

Material damage due to effect of heat: The temperature generated in the cooking compartment is very high. Keep the appliance door closed when using the grill. Never grill with the appliance door open.
For grilling, always use the wire rack and universal pan. You can obtain the universal pan as an accessory from specialist retailers (see section: Accessories). Insert the wire rack at the shelf position indicated in the grilling table. To prevent the oven from becoming dirty, insert the universal pan one level lower. Always place the food to be grilled in the centre of the wire rack
Note: Always use the universal pan in the standard position (not the other way up).
If you are grilling more than one piece of meat, make sure that they are the same sort of meat and that they are of similar thickness and weight.
Turn the items after half to two-thirds of the grilling time.
Pierce duck and goose skin under the wings and legs to allow the fat to escape.
Depending on the food you are cooking, the cooking compartment may become more than usually dirty when you cook food on the wire rack using all-round grilling. You should therefore clean the cooking compartment after every use so that the dirt does not burn on.
The information in the table is a guideline, and applies to the enamelled universal pan with wire rack. The values may vary depending on the type and amount of food to be grilled.
You should set the lower of the specified temperatures the first time. This will generally allow more even browning.
At the end of the cooking time, switch the grill off and leave the food to stand for approximately 10 minutes in the cooking compartment with the door closed. The recommended rest time is not included in the grilling times specified.
The values are for food placed in a cold oven and for meat taken directly from the refrigerator.

Defrost

In this section, you can find out how to defrost with 3 2D-Hot air or A Defrost.

Defrosting with 2D-hot air

Use the 3 2D-Hot air operating mode to defrost and cook frozen products.
Please note the following points here:
Frozen products that have been defrosted (meat in particular)
require shorter cooking times than fresh products
The cooking time for frozen meat increases by the defrosting
time
Always defrost frozen poultry before cooking so that you can
remove the giblets
Cook frozen fish at the same temperatures as fresh fish
You can place large quantities of ready made frozen
vegetables in aluminium dishes in the cooking compartment at the same time
Use shelf height 1 when defrosting on one level, and shelf
heights 1 + 3 when using two levels
Observe the instructions on the packaging when using frozen
foods.
