Overview
The following table provides an overview of the most frequent
kinds of damage:
Damage to the oven
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

Care and cleaning
With attentive care and cleaning, your hob and oven will retain
its looks and remain in good working order for a long time. We
will explain here how you should care for and clean them
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 operation. 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
Damage to the various different surfaces caused by using the
wrong cleaning agent can be avoided by observing the
following instructions.
When cleaning the hob do not use
■ undiluted washing-up liquid or dishwasher detergent,
■ scouring pads,
■ abrasive cleaning agents such as oven cleaner or stain
remover,
■ high-pressure cleaners or steam jets.
■ Do not clean individual parts in the dishwasher.
When cleaning the oven do not use
■ sharp or abrasive cleaning agents,
■ cleaning agent with a high alcohol content,
■ scouring pads,
■ high-pressure cleaners or steam jets.
■ Do not clean individual parts in the dishwasher.
Wash new sponges thoroughly before first use.
Cleaning the self-cleaning surfaces in the cooking
compartment
The back wall in the cooking compartment is coated with a
highly porous ceramic layer. This coating absorbs and
disintegrates splashes from baking and roasting while the oven
is in operation. The higher the temperature and the longer the
oven is in operation, the better the result will be.
If splashes are still visible even after repeated use, proceed as
follows:
1. Clean the floor, ceiling and side panels of the cooking
compartment thoroughly.
2. Set : 3D hot air.
3. With the door closed, heat up the empty oven for
approximately 2 hours at maximum temperature.
The ceramic coating is regenerated. When the cooking
compartment has cooled down, remove the brown or white
residue with water and a soft sponge.
Light discolouration of the coating does not affect automatic
self-cleaning.

Energy and environment tips
Here you can find tips on how to save energy when baking and
roasting in the oven and when cooking on the hob, and how to
dispose of your appliance properly.
Saving energy with your oven
■ Only preheat the oven if this is specified in the recipe or in
the operating instruction tables.
■ Use dark, black lacquered or enamelled baking tins. They
absorb the heat particularly well.
■ Open the oven door as infrequently as possible while
cooking, baking or roasting.
■ It is best to bake more than one cake, one after the other.
The oven is still warm. This reduces the baking time for the
second cake. You can also place two loaf tins next to each
other.
■ For longer cooking times, you can switch the oven off
10 minutes before the end of the cooking time and use the
residual heat to finish cooking.
Saving energy with the hob
■ Use pots and pans with thick, even bases. Uneven bases
increase energy consumption.
■ The diameter of pan bases should be the same size as the
hotplate. In particular, small saucepans on the hotplate cause
energy losses. Note that cookware manufacturers often
indicate the upper diameter of the saucepan. This is usually
bigger than the diameter of the base of the pan.
■ Use a small saucepan for small quantities. A larger, less full
saucepan requires a lot of energy.
■ Always place suitable lids on saucepans. When cooking
without a lid, four times the energy is required.
■ Cook with only a little water. This will save energy. Vitamins
and minerals in vegetables are preserved.
■ Switch to a lower heat setting in good time.
■ Use the residual heat. For longer cooking times, you can
switch the hotplate off 5-10 minutes before the end of the
cooking time.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.

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 on one level
When baking cakes, the best results can be achieved using
%
Top/bottom heating.
When baking with
: 3D hot air, use the following shelf heights
for the accessory:
■ Cakes in tins: level 2
■ Cakes on trays: level 3
Baking on two or more levels
Use
: 3D hot air.
Shelf heights for baking on 2 levels:
■ Universal pan: level 3
■ Baking tray: level 1
Shelf heights for baking on 3 levels:
■ Baking tray: level 5
■ Universal pan: level 3
■ Baking tray: level 1
Baking trays that are placed in the oven at the same time will
not necessarily be ready at the same time.
The tables show numerous suggestions for your dishes.
If you are baking with 3 cake/loaf tins at the same time, place
these on the wire racks as indicated in the picture.
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
Meat, poultry, fish
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
Z of the time.
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.
You wish to bake according to your own
recipe.
Use similar items in the baking tables as a guide.
How to establish whether sponge cake
is baked through.
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.
The cake collapses. Use less fluid next time or set the oven temperature 10 degrees lower. Observe the
specified mixing times in the recipe.
The cake has risen in the middle but is
lower around the edge.
Do not grease the sides of the springform cake tin. After baking, loosen the cake carefully with a knife.
The cake goes too dark on top. Place it lower in the oven, select a lower temperature and bake the cake for a little
longer.
The cake is too dry. When it is done, make small holes in the cake using a cocktail stick. Then drizzle fruit
juice or an alcoholic beverage over it. Next time, select a temperature 10 degrees higher
and reduce the baking time.
The bread or cake (e.g. cheesecake)
looks good, but is soggy on the inside
(sticky, streaked with water).
Use slightly less fluid next time and bake for slightly longer at a lower temperature. For
cakes with a moist topping, bake the base first. Sprinkle it with almonds or bread crumbs
and then place the topping on top. Please follow the recipe and baking times.
The cake is unevenly browned. Select a slightly lower temperature to ensure that the cake is baked more evenly. Bake
delicate pastries on one level using
% Top/bottom heating. Protruding greaseproof
paper can affect the air circulation. For this reason, always cut greaseproof paper to fit
the baking tray.
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 items made out of yeast
dough stick to one another when baking.
There should be a gap of approx. 2 cm around each item. This gives enough space for
the baked items to expand well and turn brown on all sides.
You were baking on several levels. The
items on the top baking tray are darker
than that on the bottom baking tray.
Always use
: 3D hot air to bake on more than one level. Baking trays that are placed in
the oven at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.
Condensation forms when you bake
moist cakes.
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.

Poultry
The weights indicated in the table refer to oven-ready poultry
(without stuffing).
Place whole poultry on the lower wire rack breast-side down.
Turn after
Z of the specified time.
Turn roasts, such as rolled turkey joint or turkey breast, halfway
through the cooking time. Turn poultry portions after
Z of the
time.
For duck or goose, pierce the skin on the underside of the
wings. This allows the fat to run out.
Poultry will turn out particularly crispy and brown if you baste it
towards the end of the roasting time with butter, salted water or
orange juice.

Fish
Turn the pieces of fish after
Z of the time.
Whole fish does not have to be turned. Place the whole fish in
the oven in its swimming position with its dorsal fin facing
upwards. Placing half a potato or a small ovenproof container
in the belly of the fish will make it more stable.
If you are grilling directly on the wire rack, the universal pan
should also be inserted at level 1. The liquid is then collected,
thereby keeping the oven cleaner.
Tips for roasting and grilling
Bakes, gratins, toast with toppings
If you are grilling directly on the wire rack, the universal pan
should also be inserted at level 1. This keeps the oven cleaner.
Always place the ovenware on the wire rack.
How well cooked the bake is will depend on the size of the dish
and the height of the bake. The figures in the table are only
average values.

The table does not contain information
for the weight of the joint.
Select the next lowest weight from the instructions and extend the time.
How to tell when the roast is ready. Use a meat thermometer (available from specialist shops) or carry out a “spoon test”.
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.
The roast is too dark and the crackling
is partly burnt.
Check the shelf height and temperature.
The roast looks good but the juices are
burnt.
Next time, use a smaller roasting dish or add more liquid.
The roast looks good but the juices are
too clear and watery.
Next time, use a larger roasting dish and use less liquid.
Steam rises from the roast when basted. This is normal and due to the laws of physics. The majority of the steam escapes through
the steam outlet. It may settle and form condensation on the cooler switch panel or on
the fronts of adjacent units.

First, remove accessories, hook-in racks or telescopic shelves
from the cooking compartment.
Preparing yoghurt
1. Bring 1 litre of milk (3.5 % fat) to the boil and cool down to
40 °C.
2. Stir in 150 g of yoghurt (at refrigerator temperature).
3. Pour into cups or small screw-top jars and cover with cling
film.
4. Preheat the cooking compartment as indicated.
5. Place the cups or jars on the cooking compartment floor and
incubate as indicated.
Proving dough
1. Prepare the dough as usual, place it in a heat-resistant
ceramic dish and cover.
2. Preheat the cooking compartment as indicated.
3. Switch off the oven and place the dough in the cooking
compartment and leave it to prove.
Defrost

Preserving
For preserving, the jars and rubber seals must be clean and
intact. If possible, use jars of the same size. The information in
the table is for round, one-litre jars.
Caution!
Do not use jars that are larger or taller than this. The lids could
crack.
Only use fruit and vegetables in good condition. Wash them
thoroughly.
The times given in the tables are a guide only. The time will
depend on the room temperature, number of jars, and the
quantity and temperature of the contents. Before you switch off
the appliance or change the cooking mode, check whether the
contents of the jars are bubbling as they should.
Preparation
1. Fill the jars, but not to the top.
2. Wipe the rims of the jars, as they must be clean.
3. Place a damp rubber seal and a lid on each jar.
4. Seal the jars with the clips.
Place no more than six jars in the cooking compartment.
Making settings
1. Insert the universal pan at level 2. Arrange the jars on it so
that they do not touch each other.
2. Pour ½ litre of hot water (approx. 80 °C) into the universal
pan.
3. Close the oven door.
4. Set $ Bottom heating.
5. Set the temperature to between 170 and 180 °C.
Preserving
Fruit
After approx. 40 to 50 minutes, small bubbles begin to form at
short intervals. Switch off the oven.
After 25 to 35 minutes of residual heat, remove the preserving
jars from the cooking compartment. If they are allowed to cool
for longer in the cooking compartment, germs could multiply,
promoting acidification of the preserved fruit.
Vegetables
As soon as bubbles begin to form in the jars, set the
temperature back to between 120 and 140 °C. Depending on
the type of vegetable, heat for approx. 35 to 70 minutes. Switch
off the oven after this time and use the residual heat.
Taking out the jars
After preserving, remove the jars from the cooking
compartment.
Caution!
Do not place the hot jars on a cold or wet surface. They could
suddenly burst.
Acrylamide in foodstuffs
Acrylamide is mainly produced in grain and potato products
prepared at high temperatures, such as potato crisps, chips,
toast, bread rolls, bread or fine baked goods (biscuits,
gingerbread, cookies).
Fruit in one-litre jars When it starts to bubble Residual heat
Apples, redcurrants, strawberries Switch off approx. 25 minutes
Cherries, apricots, peaches, gooseberries Switch off approx. 30 minutes
Apple purée, pears, plums Switch off approx. 35 minutes
Vegetables with cold cooking water in one-litre jars When it starts to bubble Residual heat
Gherkins - approx. 35 minutes
Beetroot approx. 35 minutes approx. 30 minutes
Brussels sprouts approx. 45 minutes approx. 30 minutes
Beans, kohlrabi, red cabbage approx. 60 minutes approx. 30 minutes
Peas approx. 70 minutes approx. 30 minutes
Tips for keeping acrylamide to a minimum when preparing food
General
■ Keep cooking times to a minimum.
■ Cook meals until they are golden brown, but not too dark.
■ Large, thick pieces of food contain less acrylamide.
Baking With top/bottom heating max. 200 °C.
With 3D hot air or hot air max.180 °C.
Biscuits With top/bottom heating max. 190 °C.
With 3D hot air or hot air max. 170 °C.
Egg or egg yolk reduces the production of acrylamide.
Oven chips Spread evenly over the baking tray, in a single layer. Bake at least 400 g per baking tray
so that the chips do not dry out
