IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Correct use
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY
(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since
open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave
energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety
interlocks.
(b) Do not place any object between the oven front and the door or
allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly
important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no
damage to the: (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or
loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except
properly qualified service personnel.
Danger of burns!
The Speed Oven becomes hot when in use.
Depending on the mode selected, you could burn yourself on the
heating elements, oven interior, cooked food or oven accessories.
Wear pot holders when placing food in or removing food, or when
making adjustments to items being cooked in the hot Speed
Oven.
Caution: Heating elements may be hot even though they are not
glowing. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause
burns. External parts of the oven such as the door glass, vents, and
the control panel can become hot. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials come into contact
with heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven until they have
had sufficient time to cool.
17
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not let food sit in the oven for an extended period of time
before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or
sickness.
It is important that the heat is allowed to spread evenly
throughout the food being cooked.
This can be achieved by stirring and/or turning the food, and
observing a sufficiently long standing time, which should be added
to the time needed for cooking, reheating or defrosting.
Use only dry, heat-resistant potholders. Moist or damp potholders
used on hot surfaces may result in steam burns. Do not let
potholders come in contact with oil or grease. Do not substitute dish
towels or other bulky items for potholders. Do not let potholders
touch hot heating elements.
Loose fitting or hanging garments present a fire hazard. Wear
proper apparel while operating the appliance.
Do not heat unopened containers of food in the oven, pressure
may cause the containers to burst and result in injury.
To prevent burns, always place oven racks at their desired height
while the oven is cool. If the rack must be moved while the oven is
hot, do not let pot holders touch hot heating elements.
Open the door carefully to allow hot air or steam to escape before
placing or removing food.
To prevent burns, allow the heating elements to cool before
cleaning by hand.
Do not leave the oven door open unnecessarily as someone may
trip over it or be injured by it.
Never leave the appliance unattended when cooking with oil or
fat. They can ignite if overheated. Do not use the oven for frying.
Do not use water on grease fires. Turn off the Speed Oven
immediately and suffocate the flames by keeping the door closed.
18
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Never store flammable liquids and materials in, above or under an
oven, or near cooking surfaces.
To avoid fueling any flames, do not open the Speed Oven door if
smoke occurs inside the appliance. Interrupt the process by turning
the appliance off and disconnecting it from the power. Do not open
the door until the smoke has dissipated.
Do not use the oven to heat the room. The high temperatures
radiated could cause objects near the oven to catch fire.
WARNING
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the
room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating of the oven.
WARNING
NEVER use this appliance as storage space. Doing so may result
in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.
WARNING
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or
cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so
blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide
poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire
hazard.
19
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please be aware that durations for using microwave power are
often considerably shorter when cooking, reheating and defrosting
than when using modes without microwave power. Excessively long
cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning or could even
cause it to catch fire.
Be sure you keep to recommended broiling times when using the
“Broil” mode. Do not use the “Microwave” mode for dehydrating
items such as flowers, herbs, bread, or rolls. Never use “Broil”
modes for pre-baked products such as bread or rolls or for drying
flowers or herbs. Use “Convection Bake” for these items and
monitor the process carefully.
Use caution when using alcohol in your recipes. Alcohol
evaporates at high temperatures but may, in rare circumstances,
combust on the hot heating elements.
Dishes with hollow knobs or handles are not suitable for use with
microwave modes. Moisture which has gathered in the hollow
recesses can cause pressure to build up and the item can explode.
Fire hazard! Using Microwave or Microwave combination
modes with plastic dishes which are not microwave safe can cause
them to melt and damage the appliance.
Do not use any containers or cutlery made from or containing metal,
aluminum foil, lead, crystal glassware, temperature-sensitive
plastics, wooden utensils or cutlery, metal clips or plastic or paper
covered wire ties. Do not use plastic containers with the foil lid only
partially removed (see “Containers suitable for microwave use”).
For modes without microwave power: Plastic containers which are
not suitable for use in an oven can melt at high temperatures and
can even damage the oven or catch fire.
Only use containers which are declared by the manufacturer as
being suitable for use in an oven. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions on use.
20
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not leave the microwave oven unattended when reheating or
cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or
other inflammable materials.
Before using single-use containers, make sure they are suitable for
use in microwave ovens (See “Containers suitable for microwave use
- Plastics”).
Do not reheat food in the oven in heat-retaining bags which are
intended for use in normal ovens.
These heat-retaining bags usually contain a thin layer of aluminum
foil which reflects microwaves.This reflected energy can, in turn,
cause the outer paper covering to become hot and ignite.
The Speed Oven can be damaged when using Microwave or
Microwave Combination modes if it is empty or incorrectly loaded.
For this reason please do not use modes with microwave power to
pre-heat cookware or to dry herbs.
Instead use Convection Bake or Surround for these
procedures.
When using residual heat to keep food in the oven warm, the high
humidity and amount of condensation in the Speed Oven can cause
corrosion. The control panel, the countertop or the cabinetry can
also suffer damage.
Always cover food when using Microwave . Once food is cooked
through, use a lower power for continued cooking to reduce the
amount of steam produced from the food. When using residual heat
do not turn the Speed Oven off. Instead set the temperature to the
lowest setting and leave the oven on the selected mode. The fan will
then remain on automatically and dissipate the moisture.
It is recommended to cover all cooked food that is left in the oven
to be kept warm. This will prevent moisture from condensing on the
interior of the oven.
21
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
A build-up of heat can cause damage to the enamel on the floor
of the oven.
When using Surround , Bake , Intensive or Convection
Bake, do not line the floor of the oven with anything, e.g.,
aluminum foil or protective liners. Do not place any pans or trays
directly on the oven floor.
The door can support a maximum weight of 17.5lbs (8kg). Do not
sit on or lean against an open door, and do not place heavy objects
on it. Also make sure that nothing can get trapped between the door
and the oven cavity. The oven could get damaged.
When heating food and drinks, remember that the heat is created
in the food itself, and that the container will normally be cooler. The
dish is only warmed by the heat of the food. The temperature of the
container is not an indication of the temperature of the food or liquid
in it.
Check the food for the desired temperature after removing it. This isparticularly important when preparing food for babies. Shake or
stir baby milk and food thoroughly after heating, and try it for
temperature to ensure that it will not scald the baby.
The Speed Oven is not suitable for cleaning or disinfecting items.
Items can get extremely hot and there is a danger of burning when
the item is removed from the appliance.
Do not cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers, jars or
bottles. With baby bottles, the screw top and nipple must be
removed.
Otherwise pressure will build up which can cause the bottle or
container to explode. Risk of injury.
22
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When boiling and in particular when re-heating liquids, milk,
sauces etc., using microwave power without a boiling rod, the
boiling point of the liquid may be reached without the production of
typical bubbles. The liquid does not boil evenly throughout. This socalled 'boiling delay' can cause a sudden build up of bubbles when
the container is removed from the oven or shaken. This can lead to
the liquid boiling over suddenly and explosively. Danger of scalding
and burning! The formation of bubbles can be so strong that the
pressure forces the oven door open, with a danger of injury and
damage.
Before cooking or reheating, thoroughly stir the liquid. Then wait at
least 20seconds before removing the container from the oven.
During cooking and reheating you can also place a glass rod or
similar in the container and use as a boiling rod, if available.
Eggs can be cooked without their shells using microwave power
only if the yolk membrane has been punctured several times first.
The pressure could otherwise cause the egg yolk to explode.
Eggs in their shells will explode if cooked with microwave power,
even after taking them out of the oven.
They can only be cooked in their shells using microwave heat in a
specially designed egg-boiling device available from specialist
shops. Hard-boiled eggs must not be reheated in the microwave
oven either as they too will explode.
Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausage,
potatoes and eggplant, should be pierced or cut in several places to
allow steam to escape and prevent the food from bursting.
To check food temperature, first interrupt the cooking process.
Only use a thermometer specifically approved for food use to
measure the temperature of the food. Do not use a thermometers
containing mercury or liquid as these are not suitable for use with
very high temperatures and break very easily
23
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use the oven to heat up heating pads filled with grains, gel,
etc.
These pads can ignite even after they have been removed from the
Speed Oven.
This oven must only be used for cooking food. Fumes, vapors or
heat given off by glues, plastics or flammable liquids and materials
could be hazardous. Do not use it as a dryer, kiln, dehumidifier, etc.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Do not let metal objects (aluminum foil, pans) come in contact
with the heating element.
Make certain that the power cords of small appliances do not
come in contact with or get caught in the oven door.
24
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Cleaning and maintenance
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this oven.
Steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
Only clean parts listed in these Operating and Installation
Instructions.
Scratches on the door glass can cause the glass to break.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard sponges, brushes or sharp metal
tools to clean the door glass.
To avoid corrosion on the stainless steel surfaces of the Speed
Oven, remove any splashes on the interior walls of the oven from
food or liquids containing salt.
Do not use a protective coating to line the oven and do not use
commercial oven cleaner unless certified for use in a self-cleaning
oven.
25
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Features
Oven safety features
System lock
The system lock prevents the oven from
being used unintentionally (see
“Settings - System lock”).
The system lock will remain activated
even after a power failure.
Safety shutoff
A mode without microwave can be
started without selecting a cooking
duration. To prevent continuous use
and avoid the risk of fire, the oven will
turn itself off automatically after a time
between 1hour and 12hours
depending on the mode and
temperature selected.
If a combi mode is followed in quick
succession by another program using
microwave power, the magnetron
(which produces the microwaves)
cannot be turned on again until approx.
10seconds have elapsed. Therefore,
wait a short time before starting the
second process.
PerfectClean surfaces
The revolutionary PerfectClean finish is
a smooth, non-stick surface that is
exceptionally easy to clean.
Food and grime from baking or roasting
are easily removed.
Do not use ceramic knives, as these
will scratch the PerfectClean surface.
Follow the instructions in the “Cleaning
and Care” section of this manual so the
anti-stick and easy cleaning properties
are retained.
The oven compartment and the rack
have a PerfectClean finish.
Cooling fan
The cooling fan comes on automatically
when a cooking program is started. The
cooling fan mixes hot air from the oven
cavity with cool room air before venting
it out into the kitchen through vents
located between the appliance door
and the control panel.
The cooling fan will continue to run for a
while after a cooking process to prevent
moisture building up in the oven, on the
control panel or on the surrounding
cabinetry. It will turn itself off
automatically after a while.
39

Microwave power
How it works
The Speed Oven contains a highfrequency tube called a magnetron. It
converts electrical energy into
microwaves. The microwaves are then
distributed evenly throughout the metal
sides of the oven interior to reach the
food from all sides.
In order for microwaves to reach the
food, they must be able to penetrate the
cooking container being used.
Microwaves can pass through
porcelain, glass, cardboard, and
plastics, but not metal. Therefore, do
not use containers that are made of
metal or contain metal (in the form of
gold or silver trim, for example). The
metal reflects microwaves and this
could cause sparking. The microwaves
cannot be absorbed.
The microwaves will pass through any
suitable cookware and find their way
directly into the food. All food contains
moisture molecules which, when
subjected to microwave energy, begin
to oscillate at a rate of 2.5billion times
per second. The friction caused by
these vibrations creates heat, which
first starts developing around the
outside of the food and then slowly
penetrates it toward the center. The
more water a food contains, the faster it
is reheated or cooked. The heat is
produced directly in the food.
Advantages
– Food can generally be cooked in a
microwave with little or no liquid or
oil.
– Defrosting, heating, and cooking is
faster than when using a
conventional cooktop or oven.
– Nutrients, such as vitamins and
minerals, are generally retained.
– The natural color, texture, and taste
of food are not impaired.
Microwaves stop being produced as
soon as the cooking process is
interrupted or the appliance door is
opened. When the appliance is in
operation, the closed, sealed door
prevents microwaves escaping from
the appliance.
Microwave power levels
Microwave power levels 1 to 7 can be
selected.
62
Microwaves are reflected by metal.
They pass through glass, porcelain,
plastic and cardboard.
Selecting cookware
Non-microwave safe dishes can
suffer damage or cause damage to
the oven when using the the
Microwave (Solo) and
Combination modes with Microwave.
Risk of Fire!
The material and shape of containers
used affect cooking results and times.
Circular and oval containers work best.
The food will heat more evenly than in a
square container.
Containers suitable for
microwave use
Glassware
Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass
are ideal for use with microwave power.
Exception: Do not use crystal glass
as it contains lead which can crack
or shatter in a microwave.
They are absorbed by food.
Porcelain
Porcelain is a suitable material.
Exception: Do not use porcelain with
gold, silver or cobalt blue edging or
items with hollow knobs or handles,
as insufficient ventilation may cause
a build-up of pressure.
Earthenware
Decorated earthenware is only suitable
if the decoration is beneath an all-over
glaze.
Danger of burning! Wear pot holders
when removing earthenware dishes
from the Speed Oven.

Selecting cookware
Plastics
Plastic containers and plastic
disposable containers may only be
used with Microwave (Solo) if they
have been declared as suitable for
microwave use by the manufacturer. To
protect the environment, it is best to
avoid using single-use containers.
Do not leave the Speed Oven
unattended when reheating or
cooking food in disposable
containers made of plastic, paper or
other flammable materials.
Plastic cookware must be heatresistant up to at least 230°F (110°C).
Otherwise the cookware will deform
and possibly come in contact with
the food.
Only use plastic dishes in the
Microwave and combination
modes.
– Plastic microwave containers
There are also cooking bags that do not
need to be pierced. Following the
instructions listed on the packaging.
– Roasting bags
Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Fire hazard!
Do not use metal clips, plastic clips
containing metal parts, or paper ties
containing wire. There is a danger
that they will ignite when heated.
– Melamine
Plastic tableware made from melamine
is not suitable for use in this oven.
Melamine absorbs microwave energy
and becomes very hot. Before
purchasing plasticware be sure that is is
microwave-safe.
Readily available from retail stores.
– Styrofoam containers
Disposable containers, such as trays
made from styrofoam, can only be used
for very short, timed warming and
reheating of food.
– Plastic cooking bags
Plastic cooking bags can be used for
cooking and reheating food.
They should be pierced beforehand so
that steam can escape. This prevents a
build-up of steam and reduces the rish
of the bag bursting.
64
Selecting cookware
Unsuitable containers for
microwave use
Dishes with hollow knobs or
handles are not suitable for use with
microwave modes. Moisture which
has gathered in the hollow recesses
can cause pressure to build up and
the item can explode.
Metal
Metal reflects microwaves and
obstructs the cooking process.
Do not use metal containers, aluminum
foil, or metal cutlery and dishes with a
metallic finish (gold rims or cobalt blue,
forexample) with Microwave
combination programs.
Do not use containers where the foil
lid has not been completely removed
as small pieces of foil can cause
sparking.
Exceptions:
The rack supplied is only suitable for
cooking in Combination modes and
modes that do not use microwave. It
is not suitable for cooking in the
Microwave (Solo) mode.
The rack should be used on a shelf
level. Do not place it on the floor of
the oven.
– Metal bakeware can be used with
Microwave combination programs.
– Ready-meals in aluminum foil trays
can be defrosted and reheated using
microwave power as long as the lid is
removed.
Using aluminum foil trays can cause
crackling and sparking. Therefore,
place aluminum foil trays on the
glass tray and not on the wire rack.
Make sure that the aluminum tray is
at least 3/4"(2cm) from the oven
walls at all times. It must not touch
the walls.
However, as food is only heated from
the top, it is better to remove the food
from the aluminum foil container and
transfer it to a dish suitable for use in a
microwave oven. The heat distribution
will be more even.
65
Selecting cookware
– Aluminum foil pieces
For even defrosting and to avoid
overcooking unevenly shaped cuts of
meat, poultry, or fish, small pieces of
aluminum foil may be used to mask thin
pieces for the last few minutes of the
program.
Make sure that the aluminum foil is
at least 3/4"(2cm) from the oven
walls at all times. It must not touch
the walls.
– Metal meat skewers or clamps
These should only be used if they are
very small in comparison to the size of
the cut of meat.
Glazes and colors
Some glazes and colors contain metal
and are therefore unsuitable for
microwave modes.
Wood
Wooden dishes are not suitable.
Moisture contained in the wood
evaporates when exposed to
microwave energy, causing the wood to
dry and crack.
Testing dishes for their
suitability
If in doubt as to whether glass,
earthenware or porcelain plates or
dishes are suitable for use with
microwave energy, a simple test can be
performed:
Insert the glass tray on shelf level 1
and place the empty item you wish to
test on the glass tray. Fill a suitable
glass with water and also place this
on the glass tray.
Close the door.
Select Microwave .
Set the highest microwave power
level (7) and a cooking duration of
30seconds.
Confirm with OK and start the
program.
If a cracking noise is heard
accompanied by sparks during the
test, turn the appliance off
immediately. Any cookware which
causes this reaction is unsuitable for
use with microwave power. If in
doubt, contact the cookware
manufacturer.
66
This test cannot be used to check
whether items with hollow knobs or
handles are suitable for use with
microwave power.
Selecting cookware
Placing the dish in the Speed
Oven
Insert the glass tray on shelf level 1.
The dish containing the food should
always be placed in the middle of the
glass tray.
Placing the food directly on the floor
of the oven would give unsatisfactory
and uneven results as the microwaves
would not be able to reach the food
from below.
Lid
The lid offers the following advantages:
– Prevents too much steam escaping,
especially when cooking foods which
need longer to cook, such as
potatoes.
– Speeds up the cooking process.
– Prevents food from drying out.
– Helps keep the oven interior clean.
When using Microwave (Solo),
always cover the food with a lid or
cover made of microwave-safe glass
or plastic.
Suitable covers are available from
retail outlets.
Alternatively, use plastic wrap
recommended for use in a microwave
oven (pierce as instructed by the
manufacturer). Heat can cause normal
plastic wrap to distort and fuse with
the food.
67
Selecting cookware
The cover can withstand
temperatures of up to 320°F (110°C).
At higher temperatures (e.g.,in
Broil or Convection Bake
mode) the plastic may distort and
fuse with the food. Only use a cover
in Microwave mode.
The cover should not form a seal
with the container. If the cover is
used with a container which only has
a narrow diameter, there might not
be enough room for condensation to
escape through the holes in the side.
The cover could get too hot and start
to melt.
When reheating food, do not use a
cover for for:
– breaded food
– food which requires a crisp finish,
e.g.toast
– food which you are reheating in a
Combi mode
Otherwise pressure can build up,
causing the container to explode and
posing a severe risk of injury.
Do not cook or reheat food or liquids
in sealed containers, jars, or bottles.
Open containers beforehand and
with baby bottles, the screw top and
teat must be removed.
68
Energy saving tips
– Remove any accessories from the
oven that you do not require for
cooking.
– If possible, do not open the door
during a program. If the door is
opened during a program that is not
using microwave power, the heat in
the oven automatically turns off. The
fan continues to run. As soon as the
door is closed again, the program will
continue.
– If a temperature range is given, it is
best to select the lower temperature
and check the food after the shortest
cooking time given.
– Convection Broil can be used for
a wide variety of foods. Lower
temperatures can be used than with
other Broil modes which use the
maximum temperature setting.
– The factory default setting for the
Time of Day display Time – Display –
Off will consume the least amount of
energy.
– With the factory default setting
Lighting – On for 15 seconds the oven
cavity lighting turns off automatically
after 15seconds. It can be turned on
again at any time by selecting .
– When cooking with safety shut-off or
the roast probe, the oven cavity
heating will turn off automatically
shortly before the end of cooking.
The residual heat utilization is
sufficient to finish the cooking
process. The residual heat in the
oven is sufficient to complete the
cooking process. Energy Save Phase is
shown in the display. The cooling fan
and hot air fan (if turned on) will
continue to run.
– To save power, the oven turns off
automatically if a button is not
pressed after a certain amount of
time or after a cooking program has
ended. The time when this happens
will depend on the selected settings
(function, temperature, and duration).

Bake
Eating food which has been cooked
correctly is important for good
health.
Only bake cakes, pizza, french fries,
etc. until they are golden brown. Do
not overcook them.
Oven modes
Depending on how you would like the
food prepared, you can use Convection
Bake , Surround , Intensive ,
or Combi Bake (see “Guide to the
modes”).
Combi Bake is particularly suitable
for baking dough with a longer baking
time, such as yeast-based dough,
enriched dough, and kneaded dough,
because the cooking time is shortened.
During this mode, power level 2 must
not be exceed throughout the entire
baking time.
Bakeware
The bakeware used depends on the
oven mode chosen and how the food is
being prepared.
– Convection Bake, Intensive:
Bakeware made of any heat-resistant
material is suitable. Light-colored,
thin, non-reflective metal bakeware
can be used, but results may not be
as good as with dark, non-reflective
bakeware.
– Surround:
Dark metal, enamel, or aluminum
bakeware with a matte finish, as well
as heat-resistant glass, ceramic, and
coated bakeware can be used.
Avoid using bright, shiny metal
bakeware; it gives an uneven and
poor browning result and in some
cases cakes might not cook properly.
– Combi Bake
Only use oven-safe bakeware
suitable for microwave use (see
“Dishes suitable for microwave use”),
such as oven-safe glass or ceramic
dishes, as these allow microwaves
through them.
Metal containers reflect microwaves
so food will only cook from above.
Cooking durations would, therefore,
be longer and metal tins could also
cause sparking. Place the dish on the
glass tray so that it cannot touch the
oven walls. If the dish being used
causes sparking, do not use it for
combination cooking modes again.
Parchment paper
Place french fries, croquettes and
similar types of food on paper.
91
Bake
Temperature
Select the suggested temperature if
possible.
Choosing a baking temperature higher
than those recommended may reduce
the cooking time, but will lead to
uneven browning, and unsatisfactory
cooking results.
Baking duration
Check if the food is cooked at the end
of the shortest duration quoted. To
check if a cake is ready insert a wooden
skewer or toothpick into the center, it
should come out clean.
Shelf levels
The shelf level that you place the food
on for baking depends on the oven
mode and the number of trays being
used.
– Convection Bake
Cakes in pans: Level 1 from the
bottom
Flat baked goods (e.g. cookies,
cakes): Level 2 from the bottom
Baking on 2 levels at the same time:
Levels 1+3 from the bottom or levels
2+3 from the bottom
– Combi Bake
Insert the glass tray on Level 1 from
the bottom and place the bakeware
on it.
Tips
– Setting the cooking duration. When
baking, the oven should not be set to
start after an extended period of time.
Otherwise the cake mixture or dough
will dry out, and the raising agents
will lose their effectiveness.
– Place cakes in rectangular bakeware
on the rack with the longer side
across the width of the oven for
optimum heat distribution and even
results.
– Surround
Cakes in pans: Level 1 from the
bottom
Flat baked goods (e.g. cookies,
cakes: Level 2 from the bottom
– Intensive
In general use Level 1 from the
bottom.
92
Roast
Always observe the USDA guidelines
for food safety.
Oven modes
Convection Bake / Convection Roast
, Auto Roast
For roasting meat, fish and poultry
dishes in which a browned finish is
desired.
Combi Bake ,
Combi Auto Roast
The program duration is shorter with
these modes.
Set the microwave to the following
power levels for the entire roasting time:
– For meat and fish: max. Level 3
– For poultry: max. Level 2
This combination program is not
suitable for cooking roast beef or
tenderloins. The center would be too
well cooked before the exterior is
browned.
Cooking accessories
Please take into account the material of
your bakeware in your choice of oven
mode:
– Convection Bake / Convection Roast
/ Auto Roast :
Roasting pans, ovenproof ceramic
dishes, and clay roasting pans.
Make sure that the pot and lid have
heat-resistant handles.
– Combi Bake /
Combi Auto Roast :
Dishes must be suitable for use in a
microwave oven and must not have
metal lids (see “Containers suitable
for microwave use”).
Roasting in a closed pan
Season the meat and place it in the
roasting dish. Dot with butter or
margarine or brush with oil if
necessary. For large lean cuts of meat
(4–6 lbs.) and fatty poultry, add about
1/2 cup of water to the dish.
When using a roasting bag, follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
Roasting on the rack
Add a little fat or oil to very lean meat or
wrap with bacon.
Do not add too much liquid during
cooking as this will hinder the
browning process.
93
Roast
Temperature
Select the suggested temperature if
possible.
If higher temperatures are used, the
meat will brown on the outside, but will
not be properly cooked through.
Shelf levels
– Convection Bake / Convection Roast
/ Auto Roast :
Rack with meat on it on shelf level 1
– Combi Bake /
Combi Auto Roast :
Rack or glass tray with meat on it on
shelf level 1
Tips
– Resting time: At the end of the
program, take the roast out of the
oven, cover with aluminum foil and let
stand for about 10 minutes. This
helps retain the juices when the meat
is sliced.
– The larger the cut of meat, the lower
the temperature setting should be.
– Use a roast probe for accurate
cooking temperatures and best
results.
94
Roast
Roast Probe
The roast probe enables the roasting
process to be monitored simply and
reliably.
How the roast probe works
The metal tip of the roast probe is
inserted into the food. There is a
temperature sensor in the metal tip
which measures the core temperature
of the food during cooking. The rise in
the core temperature reflects the extent
to which the food is cooked. You can
program the core temperature to be
lower or higher, depending on how you
would like the meat cooked, rare,
medium or well-done.
A core temperature of up to 210°F
(99°C) can be set. Please refer to the
roasting chart and “Slow cooking” for
the core temperatures applicable for
different types of meat.
When to use the roast probe
Some MasterChef programs and
Special modes will prompt you to use
the roast probe.
You can also use it with your own
Favorite programs and with the
following functions:
The cooking time will be similar when
cooking with or without the roast probe.
95
Roast
Important notes regarding the roast
probe
Please note:
– You can place the meat in a pot, on
the rack or in the glass tray,
depending on the mode selected.
– The metal tip of the roast probe must
be fully inserted into the center of the
food.
– When cooking poultry, insert the
metal tip into the thickest part of the
breast. You can find the thickest part
of the breast by pressing the area
with your thumb and index finger.
– Do not let the metal tip touch any
bones or insert it into a fatty area of
the meat. If fat or bone come into
contact with the probe, this can lead
to the oven being turned off too early.
– If the meat is very heavily marbled
with fat, select the highest core
temperature given in the roasting
chart.
– When using roasting bags or
aluminum foil, insert the probe
through the bag or foil into the center
of the meat. You can also place the
meat, with the roast probe inserted,
inside the foil. Follow the roasting
bag / aluminum foil manufacturer's
instructions.
Using the roast probe
Insert the metal tip of the roast probe
fully into the food.
Place the food in the oven.
Insert the plug of the roast probe into
the socket until you feel it engage.
Close the door.
Select an oven mode or MasterChef
program.
Set the temperature or power level if
necessary.
Set the core temperature if
necessary.
The core temperatures cannot be
changed for the MasterChef
programs.
96
Roast
You can also delay the start of the
cooking program to a later time. To do
this, select the Start at option from the
menu. In automatic programs, select
Start Later.
You can estimate approximately when
the food will be ready as the duration of
the cooking program is about the same
as if you were cooking food without
using the roast probe.
Duration and Ready at cannot be set
because the total time depends on how
long it takes for the core temperature to
be reached.
Time-left display
If the temperature set for a cooking
process is above 285°F (140°C), the
estimated duration remaining (time left)
will appear in the display.
The time left is calculated from the
cooking temperature selected, the set
core temperature, and the progress of
the core temperature as it rises.
Select Display core temperature.
Select On.
Confirm with OK.
The actual core temperature will also
appear in the display.
Residual heat utilization
The oven heating turns off shortly
before the end of the cooking process.
The residual heat in the oven is
sufficient to complete the cooking
process.
Using the residual heat in the oven
saves energy.
Energy Save Phase will appear in the
display to show that the oven is in
energy save mode. The measured core
temperature is no longer visible.
The cooling fan and convection fan (if
turned on) will continue to run.
When the selected core temperature
has been reached:
The time left first shown is an estimate.
As the cooking process continues, the
time left is revised continuously, and a
more accurate figure is shown.
The time left will be deleted if the
cooking or core temperature is changed
or if a different mode is selected. If the
door is opened for a longer time, the
time left will be recalculated.
Displaying the core temperature
As soon as the time left appears, you
can also display the actual core
temperature.
Select Change.
– Program Finished appears.
– The buzzer will sound if it has been
turned on (see “Settings – Volume –
Buzzer tones”).
Tip: If the food is not sufficiently
cooked, insert the roast probe in a
different place and repeat the program.
97
Slow Roasting
This cooking method is ideal for
cooking beef, pork, veal or lamb when a
tender result is desired.
First, using a cooktop sear the meat on
all sides to seal in the juices.
Then place the meat in a preheated
oven. It will be cooked at a low
temperature for an extended time
allowing the meat to become very
tender.
The meat will rest and the juices start to
circulate evenly throughout.
This gives the meat a very tender and
juicy result.
Tips
– Use fresh, lean meat that has been
trimmed. Remove the bones before
cooking.
– When searing, use a suitable cooking
oil or fat that can withstand high
temperatures (e.g. clarified butter,
vegetable oil).
– Do not cover the meat during
cooking.
Cooking will take approx. 2-4 hours,
depending on the size and weight of
the meat, as well as the desired
degree of doneness and browning.

After cooking:
Because the cooking temperatures are
very low:
– The meat can be carved immediately.
No resting time is required.
– The cooking result will not be
affected if the meat is left in the oven
after the program is complete. It can
be kept warm until you serve it.
– The meat is at an ideal temperature
to be eaten right away. Serve on prewarmed plates with a hot sauce or
gravy to keep warm.
Always observe USDA food safety
guidelines.
