Causes of damage

Caution!
Accessories, foil, greaseproof paper or ovenware on the
cooking compartment floor: do not place accessories on the cooking compartment floor. Do not cover the cooking compartment floor with any sort of foil or greaseproof paper. Do not place ovenware on the cooking compartment floor if a temperature of over 50 ºC has been set. This will cause heat to accumulate. The baking and roasting times will no longer be correct and the enamel will be damaged.
Water in a hot cooking compartment: do not pour water into
the cooking compartment when it is hot. This will cause steam. The temperature change can cause damage to the enamel.
Moist food: do not store moist food in the cooking
compartment when it is closed for prolonged periods This will damage the enamel.
Fruit juice: when baking particularly juicy fruit pies, do not
pack the baking tray too generously. Fruit juice dripping from the baking tray leaves stains that cannot be removed. If possible, use the deeper universal pan.
Cooling with the appliance door open: only allow the cooking
compartment to cool when it is closed. Even if the appliance door is only open a little, front panels of adjacent units could be damaged over time.
Very dirty door seal: If the door seal is very dirty, the
appliance door will no longer close properly when the appliance is in use. The fronts of adjacent units could be damaged.Always keep the door seal clean.
Appliance door as a seat, shelf or worktop: Do not sit on the
appliance door, or place or hang anything on it. Do not place any cookware or accessories on the appliance door.
Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance model,
accessories can scratch the door panel when closing the appliance door. Always insert the accessories into the cooking compartment as far as they will go.
Carrying the appliance: do not carry or hold the appliance by
the door handle. The door handle cannot support the weight of the appliance and could break.

Care and cleaning
With good care and cleaning, your oven will remain clean and fully-functioning for a long time to come. Here we will explain how to maintain and clean your oven correctly.

Notes

Slight differences in the colours on the front of the oven are
caused by the use of different materials, such as glass, plastic and metal.
Shadows on the door panel which look like streaks, are
caused by reflections made by the oven light.
Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures. This can
cause some slight colour variations. This is normal and does not affect their function. The edges of thin trays cannot be completely enamelled. As a result, these edges can be rough. This will not impair the anti-corrosion protection.
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
sharp or abrasive cleaning agents,
The oven will begin to heat up.

Switching off the oven

Turn the function selector to the off position.

Changing the settings

The type of heating and temperature or grill setting can be changed at any time using their respective selectors.
cleaning agents with a high concentration of alcohol,

Energy-saving and environmental protection tips
In this chapter we offer you some advice about how to save energy when baking or roasting and how to properly dispose of the appliance.
Saving energy
Preheat the oven only if this is required by a recipe or is
indicated in the tables.
Use dark, lacquered or black enamel baking tins. These are
more efficient at absorbing heat.
Keep the oven door closed during cooking, baking and
roasting cycles.
When baking several cakes, these should be preferably
baked one after the other. The oven will still be hot, thereby reducing the cooking time for the second cake. Two rectangular baking tins can be placed side-by-side.
For long cooking times, the oven may be turned off
10 minutes prior to the specified time, allowing the item to continue to cook but taking advantage of the oven's residual heat.
Environmentally-friendly disposal of waste
Dispose of packaging with the environment in mind.
This appliance is identified according to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive WEEE 2002/96/EC. This directive defines the framework for the recycling and reuse of appliances used in EU territory.
Tested for you in our cooking studio
Here you will find a selection of dishes and the ideal settings for them. We will show you which type of heating and which temperature are best suited for your dish. You can find information about suitable accessories and the height at which they should be inserted. There are also tips about cookware and preparation methods.

Notes

The values in the table always apply to dishes placed into the
cooking compartment when it is cold and empty. Only preheat the appliance if the table specifies that you
should do so. Do not line the accessories with greaseproof paper until after they have been preheated.
The times specified in the tables are guidelines only. They will
depend on the quality and composition of the food.
Use the accessories supplied. Additional accessories may be
obtained as special accessories from specialist retailers or from the after-sales service.
Before using the oven, remove any unnecessary accessories and ovenware from the cooking compartment.
Always use oven gloves when taking hot accessories or
ovenware out of the cooking compartment.
Cakes and pastries

Baking tins

It is best to use dark-coloured metal baking tins.
Baking times are increased when light-coloured baking tins made of thin metal or glass dishes are used, and cakes do not brown so evenly.
If you wish to use silicone baking tins, use the information and recipes provided by the manufacturer as a guide. Silicone baking tins are often smaller than normal tins. The amount of mixture and recipe instructions may differ.

Tables

The tables show the ideal type of heating for the various cakes and pastries. The temperature and baking time depend on the amount and composition of the mixture. This is why temperature ranges are given in the tables. You should try the lower temperature first, since a lower temperature results in more even browning. You can increase the temperature next time if necessary.
If you preheat the oven, the baking time is shortened by 5 to 10 minutes.
Additional information can be found in the Baking tips section following the tables.

Baking tips
You want to bake according to your own recipe.
How to tell whether sponge cake is baked through.
The cake collapses. Use less fluid next time or set the oven temperature 10 degrees lower. Observe the
The cake has risen in the middle but is lower around the edge.
The cake goes too dark on top. Place it lower in the oven, select a lower temperature and bake the cake for a little

The bread or cake (e.g. cheesecake) looks good, but is soggy on the inside (sticky, streaked with water).
The cake is unevenly browned. Select a slightly lower temperature to ensure that the cake is baked more evenly. Bake
The bottom of a fruit cake is too light. Place the cake one level lower the next time. The fruit juice overflows. Next time, use the deeper universal pan, if you have one. Small baked products made out of yeast
dough stick to one another when bak­ing.
Condensation forms when you bake moist cakes.
Use similar items in the baking tables as a guide.
Approximately 10 minutes before the end of the baking time specified in the recipe, stick a cocktail stick into the cake at the highest point. If the cocktail stick comes out clean, the cake is ready.

fully with a knife.
longer.
juice or an alcoholic beverage over it. Next time, select a temperature 10 degrees higher and reduce the baking time.
Use slightly less fluid next time and bake for slightly longer at a lower temperature. For cakes with a moist topping, bake the base first. Sprinkle it with almonds or bread crumbs and then place the topping on top. Follow the recipe and baking times.
delicate pastries on one level using paper can affect the air circulation. For this reason, always cut greaseproof paper to fit the baking tray.
There should be a gap of approx. 2 cm around each item. This gives enough space for the baked items to expand well and brown on all sides.
Baking may result in the formation of water vapour, which escapes above the door. The steam may settle and form water droplets on the control panel or on the fronts of adja­cent units. This is a natural process.

Ovenware

You may use any heatresistant ovenware. The universal pan is suitable for large roasts.
Glass ovenware is the most suitable. Ensure that the lid of the roasting dish fits well and closes properly.
Add a little more liquid when using enamelled roasting dishes. With roasting dishes made of stainless steel, browning is not so
intense and the meat may be somewhat less well cooked. Increase the cooking times.
Information in the tables: Ovenware without a lid = open Ovenware with a lid = closed
Always place the ovenware in the centre of the wire rack. Place hot glass ovenware on a dry mat after cooking. The glass
could crack if placed on a cold or wet surface.

Roasting

Add in a little liquid if the meat is lean. Cover the base of the ovenware with approx. ½ cm of liquid.
Add liquid generously for pot roasts. Cover the base of the ovenware with approx. 1 - 2 cm of liquid.
The amount of liquid depends on the type of meat and the material the ovenware is made of. If preparing meat in an enamelled roasting dish, it will need a little more liquid than if cooked in glass ovenware.
Roasting dishes made from stainless steel are not ideal. The meat cooks more slowly and browns less fully. Use a higher temperature and/or a longer cooking time.

Grilling

When grilling, preheat the oven for approx. 3 minutes, before placing the food into the cooking compartment.
Always grill with the oven door closed. As far as possible, the pieces of food you are grilling should be
of equal thickness. This will allow them to brown evenly and remain succulent and juicy.
Turn the food you are grilling after Do not add salt to steaks until they have been grilled. Place the food to be grilled directly on the wire rack. If you are
grilling a single piece, the best results are achieved by placing it in the centre of the wire rack.
The universal pan should also be inserted at level 1. The meat juices are collected in the pan and the oven is kept cleaner.
When grilling, do not insert the baking tray or universal pan at level 4 or 5. The high heat distorts it and the cooking compartment can be damaged when removing it.
The grill element switches on and off continually. This is normal. The grill setting determines how frequently this will happen.

Meat

Turn pieces of meat halfway through the cooking time. When the roast is ready, turn off the oven and allow it to rest for
an additional 10 minutes. This allows better distribution of the meat juices.
After cooking, wrap sirloin in aluminium foil and leave it to rest for 10 minutes in the oven.
For roast pork with a rind, score the rind in a crossways pattern, then lay the roast in the dish with the rind at the bottom.

Tips for roasting and grilling
The table does not contain information for the weight of the joint.
How to tell when the roast is ready. Use a meat thermometer (available from specialist shops) or carry out a “spoon test”.
The roast is too dark and the crackling is partly burnt.
The roast looks good but the juices are burnt.
The roast looks good but the juices are too clear and watery.
Steam rises from the roast when basted. This is normal and due to the laws of physics. The majority of the steam escapes through

Select the next lowest weight from the instructions and extend the time.
Press down on the roast with a spoon. If it feels firm, it is ready. If the spoon can be pressed in, it needs to be cooked for a little longer.
Check the shelf height and temperature.
