Cleaning
With thorough care and cleaning your appliance will
retain its looks and remain in good order. We will
explain here how you should care for and clean your
appliance correctly.
Note: Unpleasant odours, e.g. after fish has been
prepared, can be removed very easily. Add a few drops
of lemon juice to a cup of water. Always place a glass
rod/spoon into the container to prevent delayed boiling.
Heat the water for 1 to 2 minutes at maximum microwave
output.
‒ Light discolouration of the enamel does not affect
self-cleaning.
Cleaning the cooking compartment floor, ceiling and
side walls: Use a dishcloth and hot detergent solution or
a vinegar solution.
Cleaning agents
To ensure that the different surfaces are not damaged
by using the wrong cleaning agent, observe the
information in the table.
Do not use
m Risk of burns!
The appliance becomes very hot. Never touch the
interior surfaces of the cooking compartment or the
heating elements. Always allow the appliance to cool
down. Keep children at a safe distance.
m Risk of electric shock!
Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or steam
cleaners, which can result in an electric shock.
m Risk of injury!
Scratched glass in the appliance door may develop into
a crack. Do not use a glass scraper, sharp or abrasive
cleaning aids or detergents.
Self-cleaning surface in the cooking compartment
The back wall of the oven is coated with self-cleaning
enamel. It cleans itself while the oven is in operation.
Sometimes, larger splashes of food may not disappear
until the oven has been operated several times. Residue
left by spices and similar ingredients can be removed
with a dry cloth or a soft brush.
Notes
‒ Never treat the self-cleaning surface with oven
cleaner. If oven cleaner is accidentally applied to
the interior back wall, remove it immediately with a
sponge and plenty of water.

Settings table and tips
Here you will find a selection of recipes and the ideal
settings for them. We will show you which type of
heating and which temperature or microwave output
setting is best for your meal. You can find information
about suitable accessories and the height at which they
should be inserted. There are also tips about ovenware
and preparation methods.
Notes
‒ The values in the table always apply to food placed
into the cooking compartment when it is cold and
empty. Only preheat the appliance if the table
specifies that you should do so. Before using the
appliance, remove all accessories from the cooking
compartment that you will not be using.
‒ Do not line the accessories with greaseproof paper
until after they have been preheated.
‒ The times specified in the tables are only
guidelines. They will depend on the quality and
composition of the food.
‒ Use the accessories supplied. Additional
accessories may be obtained from specialist
retailers or from the after-sales service.
‒ Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when
taking accessories or ovenware out of the cooking
compartment.
m Risk of scalding!
Hot liquid may spill over when pulling the glass tray out.
Pull the glass tray carefully out of the cooking
compartment.
The following tables provide you with numerous options
and settings for the microwave.
The times specified in the tables are only guidelines.
They may vary according to the ovenware used, the
quality, temperature and consistency of the food.
Time ranges are often specified in the tables. Set the
shortest time first and then extend the time if necessary.
It may be that you have different quantities from those
specified in the tables. A rule of thumb can be applied
for microwave-only operation: Double the amount - just
under double the cooking time, half the amount - half
the cooking time.
You can place the ovenware in the centre of the wire
rack or on the cooking compartment floor. The food will
then absorb the microwaves from all sides.
Defrosting
Place the frozen food in an open container on the oven
floor.
Delicate parts such as the legs and wings of chicken or
fatty outer layers of roasts can be covered with small
pieces of aluminium foil. The foil must not touch the
appliance walls. You can remove the foil half way
through the defrosting time.
Turn or stir the food once or twice during the defrosting
time. Large pieces of food should be turned several
times. When turning, remove any liquid that has been
produced during defrosting.
Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature for
a further 10 to 60 minutes so that the temperature can
stabilise. The giblets can be removed from poultry at
this point.
Note: Place the ovenware on the cooking compartment
floor.

Risk of scalding!
There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is
heated. This means that the liquid reaches boiling
temperature without the usual steam bubbles rising to
the surface. Even if the container only vibrates a little,
the hot liquid may suddenly boil over and spatter. When
heating liquids, always place a glass rod/spoon in the
container. This will prevent delayed boiling.
Caution!
Metal e.g. a spoon in a glass must be kept at least
2 cm from the oven walls and the inside of the door.
Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on the inside
of the door.

Microwave tips
You cannot find any information about the settings for the

The food has become too dry. Next time, set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave
When the time has elapsed, the food is still not defrosted,
hot or cooked.
When the time has elapsed, the food is overheated at the
edge but not done in the middle.
After defrosting, the poultry or meat is defrosted on the outside but not defrosted in the middle.
Increase or reduce the cooking times using the following rule of
thumb: Double amount = double the cooking time, half amount =
half the cooking time
output setting. Cover the food and add more liquid.
Set a longer time. Large quantities and food which is piled high
require longer times.
Stir it during the cooking time and next time, select a lower microwave output setting and a longer cooking time.
Next time, select a lower microwave output setting. If you are
defrosting a large quantity, turn it several times.
Cakes and pastries
Baking tins: It is best to use dark-coloured metal baking
tins.
When using the microwave, use baking containers made
of glass, ceramic or plastic. These must be heatresistant up to 250 °C. Cakes will not brown so well if
you use these types of baking containers.
Tables: The times given apply to food placed in a cold
oven.
The temperature and baking time depend on the
consistency and amount of the mixture. This is why
temperature ranges are given in the tables. Begin with
the lowest temperature and, if necessary, use a higher
setting the next time. A lower temperature results in
more even browning.
More information can be found in the “Baking tips”
section which follows the tables.

Baking tips
You want to bake according to your own recipe. Use similar items in the baking tables as a guide.
How to establish whether sponge cake is baked
through.
The cake collapses. Use less fluid next time or set the oven temperature 10 degrees lower.
Approximately 10 minutes before the end of the baking time specified in
the recipe, pierce the cake with a cocktail stick at its highest point. If the
cocktail stick comes out clean, the cake is ready.
Observe the specified mixing times in the recipe.

Page 36
The cake has risen in the middle but is lower around the
edge.
The cake is too dark. Select a lower temperature and bake the cake for a little longer.
The cake is too dry. When it is done, make small holes in the cake using a toothpick. Then
Only grease the base of the springform cake tin. After baking, loosen
the cake carefully with a knife.
drizzle fruit juice or an alcoholic beverage over it. Next time, set the temperature 10 degrees higher and reduce the baking time.
The bread or cake (e.g. cheesecake) looks good, but is
soggy on the inside (sticky, streaked with water).
Use slightly less fluid next time and bake for slightly longer at a lower
temperature. When baking cakes with a moist topping, bake the base
first, cover with almonds or bread crumbs and then add the topping.
Please follow the recipe and follow the baking times.
The cake cannot be turned out of the dish when it is
turned upside down.
After baking, allow the cake to cool for a further 5 to 10 minutes, then it
will be easier to turn out of the tin. If it still sticks, carefully ease it away
from the edge of the cake tin using a knife. Turn the cake tin upside
down again and cover it several times with a cold, wet cloth. Next time,
grease the tin well and sprinkle some bread crumbs into it.
You have measured the temperature of the oven using
your own meat thermometer and found there is a discrepancy.
The oven temperature is measured by the manufacturer after a specified
period of time using a test rack in the centre of the oven. Ovenware and
accessories affect the temperature measurement, so there will always
be some discrepancy when you measure the temperature yourself.
Sparks are generated between the tin and the wire rack. Check that the tin is clean on the outside. Move the tin to a different
position in the oven. If this does not help, continue baking without the
microwave function or use the glass tray as a surface to place items on.
The baking time will then be longer.
Roasting and grilling
Tables: The times given apply to food placed in a cold
oven.
The temperature and roasting time depend on the type
and amount of food being cooked. This is why
temperature ranges are given in the tables. Begin with
the lowest temperature and, if necessary, use a higher
setting the next time.
For more information, see the section entitled “Tips for

which is suitable for use in a microwave. Metal roasting
dishes are only suitable for roasting without the
microwave function.
The ovenware can become very hot. Use oven gloves to
take the ovenware out of the oven.
Place hot glass ovenware on a dry kitchen towel after
removal from the oven. The glass could crack if placed
on a cold or wet surface.
Tips for roasting: Use a deep roasting dish for roasting
meat and poultry.
” which follows the tables.
Tips for grilling: Always keep the oven door closed
when grilling and do not preheat.
As far as possible, the pieces of food you are grilling
should be of equal thickness. Steaks should be at least
2 to 3 cm thick. This will allow them to brown evenly and
remain succulent and juicy. Do not add salt to steaks
until they have been grilled.
Use grill tongs to turn the pieces of food you are
grilling. If you pierce the meat with a fork, the juices will
run out and the meat will become dry.
Dark meat, e.g. beef, browns more quickly than lightercoloured meat such as veal or pork. When grilling lightcoloured meat or fish, these often only brown slightly on
the surface, although they are cooked and juicy on the
inside.
The grill element switches off and on again
automatically. This is normal. The grill setting
determines how frequently this will happen.
Tips for braising: Use ovenware with a lid for braising
fish.
Add two to three tablespoons of liquid and a little lemon
juice or vinegar to the ovenware.
Check that your ovenware fits in the cooking
compartment. It should not be too big.
Meat: Cover the base of the ovenware with a little liquid.
Add slightly more liquid for 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 in the oven
for an additional 10 minutes. This allows better
distribution of the meat juices.

using the microwave only.
Use large flat ovenware for bakes and gratins. Food
takes longer to cook in narrow, deep containers and
browns more on top.
Bakes and gratins should be left to cook in the oven for
a further 5 minutes after the oven has been switched
off.

Acrylamide in foodstuffs
Which foods are affected?
Acrylamide is mainly produced in grain and potato
products that are heated to high temperatures, such as
potato crisps, chips, toast, bread rolls, bread, fine
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, but not
too dark. Large, thick pieces of food contain less acrylamide.
Baking With Hot air, max. 180 °C.
Biscuits Egg or egg yolk reduce the formation of
acrylamide. Spread out a single layer
evenly on the glass tray.
Oven chips Cook at least 400 g at once on a glass tray
so that the chips do not dry out.
