IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Technical safety

Unauthorized installation, maintenance, and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorized technician.
Do not carry or lift the range by the oven door handle or the
control panel!
Maintenance by the user: Never repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless the instructions specifically recommend doing so. Service work should only be performed by a qualified technician.
A damaged range can be dangerous. Always check for visible
signs of damage. Never use a damaged appliance.
Operating a damaged appliance can result in microwave leakage
and present a hazard to the user. Do not use the appliance if:
– the door is warped or bent,
– the door hinges are loose,
– holes or cracks are visible in the housing, the door, the door seal
or the oven interior walls.
Reliable and safe operation of the range can only be guaranteed if
it is connected to the public power supply.
The electrical safety of the range can only be guaranteed when it
is properly grounded. Compliance with this essential safety requirement is absolutely mandatory. If in any doubt, please have the building's wiring system inspected by a qualified electrician.
Proper installation: Make sure that your appliance has been
installed correctly and that it has been grounded by a qualified technician.
The oven is not to be operated until it has been properly installed
within cabinetry.
14
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid damaging the range, make sure that the connection data
(voltage and frequency) on the data plate correspond to the building's power supply before connecting the appliance. When in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Do not use a power strip or extension cord to connect the range
to electricity. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required level of appliance safety.
This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
Danger of electric shock!
Under no circumstances open the outer casing of the appliance.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless
specifically recommended in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts
only. Only with these parts can safety of the appliance be assured as intended by the manufacturer.
During installation, maintenance and repair work, e.g. if the oven
lighting is broken, the range must be completely disconnected from the household electricity supply (see“Frequently asked questions”). The gas inlet valve must be closed. It is only completely isolated from the supply when:
– The circuit breakers have been switched off, or
– the fuses of the electrical installation have been completely
removed, or
– the plug (if present) is removed from the socket. To do this, pull
the plug not the cord.
– Shut off the gas supply and disconnect the range from the gas
supply. Installation and maintenance of the gas connection must be performed by qualified installers, service agencies or gas providers.
15
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Reaching over a hot cooktop to access the cabinets can result in
burns. You can reduce the risk of burns by installing a range hood that extends at least 4 3/4" (12 cm) past the bottom of the cabinets.
16
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 17.5lbs (8kg). 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 is particularly 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 20seconds 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

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 1hour and 12hours 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. 10seconds 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.

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 2.5billion 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.
63
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, forexample) 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"(2cm) 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"(2cm) 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 30seconds.
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.

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 TimeDisplay
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 15seconds. 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:
– Auto Roast
– Convection Bake / Convection Roast
– Surround / Surround Roast – Convection Broil – Microwave – Combi Auto Roast – Combi Bake – Combi Broil
The cooking time will be similar when cooking with or without the roast probe.

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.

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.
