Important Information

Appliance safety considerations

Important Information

❑ If using hot air v, do not place

greaseproof paper loosely in the oven (e.g. when heating the oven). The hot-air fan could draw in the paper which may damage the heater and fan.

❑ Do not clean the oven with steam or

high-pressure cleaners.

❑ Do not insert a baking sheet at the

bottom of the oven, or cover the base of the oven with aluminium foil, as this would result in heat build up. Roasting and baking times would change, and the enamel would be damaged.

❑ Never pour water directly into the hot

oven. Damage to the enamel could result.

❑ Dripping juices may leave spots on the

oven lining. Always place a baking tray below to prevent this from happening.

❑ Never stand or sit on the open oven

door.

❑ The oven door must close properly.

Keep the door seal surfaces clean.

❑ The appliance should only be used for

the preparation of food.

❑ The surfaces of heating and cooking

appliances get hot during operation. The interior oven walls and the heating elements get extremely hot. Always keep children away from the appliance.

❑ Never leave the appliance unattended

when cooking with fat or oil. They can catch fire if overheated.

❑ Clean the oven regularly.

Fatty or oily remants could ignite when the oven is switched on.

❑ Make sure that the power cord does not

get caught in the hot oven door. The plastic insulation could melt.

❑ In the case of a defect, switch off (or

remove) the mains fuse in the building electrical system.

❑ Do not store combustible items in the

Definition of Oven Features

Main oven

Circotherm

———————————

Advantages: – low soiling of oven interior – cooking on up to 3 shelf levels at once

is possible

– shorter preheating times – low oven temperatures – gentle defrosting –bread baking

Circotherm grilling

————————

A system by which foods, that would normally be grilled by direct heat from an element, are cooked using Circotherm. Temperatures between 180 and 190° C are selected and the food is placed on the wire shelf, roasting on the roasting/grill pan.

Advantages: – ideal for steaks, sausages, chicken

joints, fish, kebabs and chops

– no turning of food is required – three shelves of ‘grilled’ food can be

prepared at one time

– very convenient

Conventional Cooking

(top and bottom heat)

———————

The food being cooked is exposed to heat from heating elements located at the top and bottom of the oven cavity.

Cooking is possible on one shelf level only. Advantages: –Baking rich fruit cakes, pizza, quiche

Main oven

Radiant grill

——————————

The food being cooked is exposed to heat from the grill element at the top of the oven cavity.

Advantages: – Particularly suitable for flat, small cuts of

meat, i.e., steaks and sausages, fish, vegetables and toast.

Full-width grill

—————————

Advantages: – the entire grill element heats up – especially useful with large amounts

of food

Centre-area grill

————————

– only the centre area of the grill

element heats up

– especially useful with small amounts of

food

————————

The hydroclean system featured in your oven is intended to help you keep your oven neat and tidy. An amount of cleaning solution is vaporised automatically. The combined effects of heat and steam soften the grease deposits on the oven enamel and facilitate their removal. For more information on this function, see the section on “Cleaning and Care” later in this booklet. Use this function with a cold oven only.

Advantages: –takes the toil out of oven cleaning –protects the enamel on interior surfaces – constitutes an environmentally friendly

cleaning method.

Main oven

Dough-proving setting —————— S

The dough proving function provides ideal conditions inside the oven for getting yeast dough to rise.

Temperature: 35 – 38° C Humidity: 75 – 100%

Benefits: – rapid and uniform increase in volume of

dough

– dough does not dry out – dough does not form a skin which

means that it very easy to process and work into the required shape

Baking – Main oven

Using baking tins

❑ Always place baking tins in the centre

of the wire shelf.

Circotherm:

❑ You can use baking tins of any material

and of any colour, as long as they are oven-proof.

❑ Do not place baking tins or high cakes

too close to the rear oven wall.

Conventional heat:

❑ Dark-coloured baking tins made of metal

give the best results.

❑ The wire shelf may be turned upside

down to accommodate different size tins.

❑ If the cake base gets too dark:

Check the shelf level. Shorten the baking time, and possibly use a lower baking temperature.

❑ If the cake base stays too light:

Check the shelf level. Increase the baking time, select a lower temperature, or use a dark metal baking tin.

Notes:

❑ You can influence the degree of

browning by changing the temperature setting.

❑ If a cake collapses after removing it from

the oven, use less liquid on your next attempt, consider using a longer baking time, or use a slightly lower temperature setting.

Roasting – Main oven

Roasting with Circotherm v

Notes:

❑ Meat roasted using the Circotherm

system will brown on all sides and stay moist without additional fat.

❑ Choose cuts of meat that weigh

150 grams (5 oz) or more.

❑ Place the shelf on top of the roasting

pan.

❑ Place the meat on the shelf, season if

desired.

❑ Slide the pan and shelf into the oven on

the same shelf position.

❑ No pre-heating is required. Save energy

by putting the roast into the cold oven.

❑ Use a Circotherm temperature of 160 °C. ❑ Let the meat rest for 10 minutes after

roasting, this will allow the juices to settle and prevent them from running out of the meat when carved.

Roasting with Conventional heat e

❑ Follow the steps above. With fatty meat

125–250 ml (4–8 floz) of water can be poured into the roasting pan.

❑ Baste the meat if desired. ❑ Place in a cold oven to save energy or

pre-heat if desired.

Casseroling or pot-roasting in a covered dish:

❑ Some meats should be prepared in

liquid in a covered casserole. This type of cooking is suitable for less tender cuts of meat.

❑ Place the casserole on the wire shelf on

a suitable shelf position.

Cooking tips:

❑ Only use ovenproof cookware. ❑ Extra large turkeys and joints can be

placed directly in the roasting pan and not on the wire shelf.

❑ Cover large turkeys with foil during

cooking. Remove foil during the last hour.

Circo-roasting I

Use this method for particularly crispy poultry or pork with crackling.

❑ Use the shelf and roasting pan together.

Turn large roasts after about half of the total cooking time has elapsed. Use shelf 1 or 2 for circo-roasting.

❑ Some types of food (e.g. fatty meats)

will spit during Circo-roasting. Therefore, to prevent burning-on of the stains, thorough cleaning of the oven is recommended after use.

❑ Whole poultry should be turned after

approx. two-thirds of the cooking time has elapsed. With duck and goose, pierce the skin under the wings to allow excess fat to drain off.

❑ After the end of the selected roasting

time and with the oven switched OFF, leave the roast in the closed oven for approx. 10 minutes.

placed directly in the roasting pan and not on the wire shelf.

❑ Cover large turkeys with foil during

cooking. Remove foil during the last hour.

Cooking Tips and Helpful Hints

To save energy:

❑ Preheat only if recommended by the

recipe.

❑ Dark baking tins have a higher degree of

heat absorption.

❑ Residual heat: In the case of longer

baking times, you can switch off the oven 5–10 minutes before the full baking time has elapsed.

When cooking with Circotherm:

❑ Cakes baked in a tin get too dark at the

back.

❑ Cakes remain doughy and collapse

when removed from the oven.

❑ Uneven browning of small cakes or

biscuits.

❑ With very moist foods steam develops

and condenses on the oven door and drips onto the floor.

When cooking conventionally:

❑ The bottom of a cake baked on a

baking tray stays too light.

❑ The cake gets too dry.

❑ The inside of the cake remains spongy

or doughy, or meat stays raw in the centre.

Avoid blocking the air vents at the rear wall of the oven with the cake tins.

Reduce the temperature for deep cakes. Bake for a longer period of time. Test with a skewer before removing.

Avoid placing trays too close to the back wall. Space food on the tray.

Several brief periods of opening the oven door during baking (1 or 2 times, more frequently with longer roasting times) will aid in venting the steam in the oven and reduce condensation.

Ensure that no other pans or trays are in the oven. Lower shelf position. Place tin on wire shelf.

Select a slightly higher oven temperature. Cook for shorter period of time.

Use a slightly lower temperature and cook for a longer time. Reduce the liquid in the cake mixture.

Defrosting and Cooking – Main oven

Defrosting and cooking using the Circotherm v

Important heating system information:

❑ For defrosting and cooking of frozen

foods, use circotherm.

❑ With all frozen foods, follow the food

manufacturers instructions on the package.

❑ As a rule, defrosted frozen foods

(especially meats) require less cooking time than fresh products, since freezing has a pre-cooking effect.

❑ If frozen meat is placed in the oven, the

defrosting time must be added to the required cooking time.

❑ Always defrost frozen poultry before

cooking because the giblets must be removed.

❑ For cooking frozen fish, use the same

temperatures as for fresh fish.

❑ Frozen ready-to-eat meals in

aluminium dishes may be placed into the oven several at a time.

❑ Frozen vegetables (i.e., when cooking

complete meals) should be cooked in a covered pot together with the roast. Use only approximately half of the liquid specified in the recipe. Use fat only for adding flavour.

Standard defrosting of various foods: Shelf-in levels:

With 1 baking sheet: Slide-in level 3 With 2 baking sheets: Slide-in levels 1 and 3

❑ All stated times are approximate

guidelines that vary with the shape and volume of frozen products.

❑ Raw frozen products or foods from a

freezer always defrost at 50° C.

Higher defrosting temperatures may cause the food to dry out.

❑ Defrost frozen meals packed in

aluminium foil or closed aluminium containers at a setting of 130 – 140° C.

❑ Place frozen meals packed in plastic

bags or plastic containers in a pot

filled with water. Cover the pot and defrost of 130 – 140° C.

Attention: Pot handles must be ovenproof.

❑ Defrost and warm up frozen baked

goods at 100 – 140° C. Brush bread,

rolls or yeast pastry lightly with egg to make the crust more appealing.

❑ Defrost dry frozen yeast cakes at

160 – 170° C for 20 – 30 minutes.

❑ Defrost moist frozen yeast cakes (with

fruit topping) at 160 – 170° C for 30 – 50 minutes after wrapping in aluminium foil to prevent cake from drying out.

❑ Defrost and toast frozen toast (with

topping) at 160 – 170° C for about 20 minutes.

❑ Defrost and bake frozen pizzas at 180 –

190 °C for 15 – 25 minutes. Place on wire grill covered with greaseproof paper. Please ensure that the greaseproof paper is suitable for use at these temperatures.

Defrosting and Cooking – Main oven

”Defrost” setting:

Recommended for delicate foods only (i.e., whipped-cream gateaus).

1. Turn the function selector to position

2. Reduce the oven temperature with the temperature selector until – – – is displayed.

❑ The circotherm fan operates without

heat.

❑ Depending on size and type of

Cleaning and Care

Important cleaning basics:

❑ For cleaning, do not use abrasives, corrosive cleaners, aerosol cleaners or sharp objects. ❑ Do not scratch off burnt-on food residues, but soak off them with a damp cloth and

washing up liquid.

❑ Oven cleaners must not be used on aluminium or plastic parts.

Stainless steel front:

❑ When using commercially available

Stainless Steel cleaning agents, avoid cleaning any lettering, as this can become damaged!

❑ Do not use any scouring pads or

abrasive cleaners.

❑ Use commercially available detergents

applied with a soft, moistened cloth or a chamois.

Enamel and glass:

❑ Use hot detergent suds for cleaning. ❑ Remove the oven door before cleaning

the enamel surface.

Oven interior:

❑ Clean the oven after each use,

especially after roasting or grilling. Food remnants burn in when the oven is reheated.

The baked in remnants are very difficult to remove once burnt in.

❑ You can reduce the degree of soiling by

greater use of the circotherm.

 Do not clean the warm oven with any

of the cleaning products specifically designed for this purpose.

❑ When baking very moist cake (e.g. rich

fruit cake) that could drip over the top of the tin, place on the roasting pan or your own baking sheet.

❑ When roasting, ensure that the meat

juices do not splash on to the base of the oven.

❑ Clean the oven before soiling becomes

too heavy. Wash out the oven cavity with hot detergent suds. Leave the door open until the interior has dried.
