Optimal use
The recommended baking and roasting temperatures given in older recipe books are
likely to be too high and the recommended shelf levels in the cooking space not ideal.
The 'Tips on settings' section shows how to get the best use out of the appliance.
If in doubt, follow these tips. Note that the temperatures and times given in the tables
are based on typical methods of preparing food and thus are only indicative.
Cooking space temperature when using hot air
When baking or roasting with hot air, the cooking space temperature needs to be
around 20 °C lower than with top and bottom heat. Recipes often only give temperatures for baking or roasting with top and bottom heat. Compare them to the temperatures in the 'Tips on settings' section. If in doubt, select a lower temperature.
If the cake or roast is nice and brown on the outside but still doughy or raw
in the middle, it is usually a sign that the cooking space temperature is too
high.
… Baking and roasting
23
Baking with hot air
Place a suitable baking form (round tin, spring form tin, cake tin, etc.) on the wire shelf.
Push the original baking tray right to the back of the cooking space for optimum air
circulation.
Selecting the right level is particularly important when using hot air.
On one level
䡲 Place original baking tray or shallow
baking form on the wire shelf at level
1, or as recommended in the 'Tips on
settings' section.
䡲 Put deep baking forms, e.g. spring
form or gugelhopf (ring) tins, on the
wire shelf at level 1, or on the wire
shelf and then place directly on the
floor of the cooking space.
䡲 Put bulky food, e.g. a loaf of bread,
on the original baking tray at level 1.
On two levels
䡲 Put the original baking tray at level 1
and the wire shelf at level 4.

Saving energy
䡲 Avoid opening the appliance door frequently.
䡲 Only switch the illumination on if needed.
䡲 Use the residual heat: for longer cooking times, i.e. over 30 minutes, switch
appliance off some 5 to10 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
Exceptions: soufflé, sponge, choux pastry and puff pastry.
Preheating
䡲 Do not preheat the cooking space unless recommended in the recipe or in 'Tips on
settings'.
䡲 Preheat briefly before grilling. See the cooking times given in 'Tips on settings'.
Minimize cleaning
䡲 To avoid food spills on the bottom of the cooking space, place protective foil in
the bottom of the appliance. The appliance comes with protective foil in the bottom. To order more original protective foil sheets, see the 'Accessories and spare
parts' section for the article number.
䡲 When grilling, to minimize cleaning, place the original baking tray – lined with
aluminium foil – at level 1.
… Baking and roasting
25
Using accessories
䡲 It is important to put the food that is to be cooked or baked at
the right level in the cooking space. See the 'Tips on settings'
section for which level to use.
䡲 The original baking tray serves as a baking form for flans and
biscuits, etc. and as a shelf, e.g. when baking with hot air on
two levels, and as a drip tray for use with the wire shelf.
䡲 Frozen food products, such as quiche or bread buns, that do
not fill the original baking tray shrink when they are cooked, especially if cooked at a high temperature. This is normal and unavoidable when using square baking trays. Taking the baking
tray out can also be more difficult. As it cools down, the baking
tray goes back to its original form. The wire shelf covered with
baking paper or a round baking tray placed on the wire shelf
can be used to cook such food on instead of the baking tray.
䡲 Using extremely hard knives or cutting wheels (ceramic, carb-
ide) to cut foodstuff on the original baking tray can damage the
surface.
䡲 The wire shelf can also be used for putting roasting tins and
baking forms, as well as meat and frozen pizza, etc, on.
䡲 The original baking tray is to be used the normal way round –
not upside down.

Drying and desiccating
A Only use healthy, ripe fruit, fresh mushrooms and herbs.
A Place the washed and chopped fruit, mushrooms or herbs on baking paper on the
wire shelf or on the original baking tray and put in the cooking space at the ap-
propriate level.
A When drying or desiccating, use only the wire shelf and original baking tray at
the same time.
A Turn the food at regular intervals to ensure even drying.
Always keep your eye on foodstuffs when drying or desic
cating them – if they dry out too much, they can pose a fire
hazard!
Wedge a wooden spoon between the underside of the operating panel and
the top of the appliance door, leaving about a 2 cm gap open.

Bottling
Bottling involves preserving food in glass jars.
A Only use undamaged jars.
A Fill and seal the jars in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
A Put a maximum of five jars – ideally of the same size and each holding no more
than1 litre – in the original baking tray and place at level 2 in the cold cooking
space, as shown in the diagram. The jars should not touch one another.
A Set the operating mode to150 °C and heat for about 35–40 minutes until the
liquid in the jars starts to bubble.
A Set the cooking space temperature to 0 °C and allow the jars to sterilise for 40
minutes.
A Press the button, switching off the operating mode, and leave the appliance
door open in the at-rest position.
A Leave the jars in the cooking space to cool down completely. Finally, check that
the jars are sealed.
39
Care and maintenance
Cleaning the exterior
A Avoid cleaning the surface of the appliance with abrasive or caustic cleaning
agents, stainless steel cleaner, scouring pads, wire wool, etc., which can damage
the surface.
A Remove any food spills or excess cleaning solution as quickly as possible. Clean
the surface with a cloth dampened with tap water and then polish using a soft
cloth.
Cleaning the accessories
䡲 The wire shelf and shelf guides can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
䡲 The baking tray can be cleaned in the dishwasher. The non-stick effect, however,
will wear off with time.
… Care and maintenance
40
Cleaning the cooking space
A Avoid using abrasive cleaners such as scouring pads, steel wool, etc. as they can
damage the surface.
A Clean the appliance door with a soft cloth dampened with water. Finish off by pol-
ishing with a soft cloth.
䡲 Depending on the model, the cooking space may have an enamel coating (smooth
surface) and in which case it can be cleaned using standard oven cleaners. Please
follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
For ease of cleaning, various parts in the cooking space can be easily removed.
Removing the shelf guides
A Lift the shelf guides slightly at the front and remove
from the front holes.
A Push the shelf guides to the back and remove from
the back holes.
A Reassemble in the reverse order.
As the temperature sensor and the heating elements in the
cooking space can be easily damaged, care must be taken
not to bend them during cleaning.
… Care and maintenance
41
Removing the appliance door
A Open the appliance door as far
as it will go.
A Fold the clamps on the door
hinges 1 forward.
A Close the appliance door just
enough that it can be lifted out.
A To reassemble, push the hinges
into the holes from the front.
A Open the appliance door as far
as it will go and fold back the
clamps on the door hinges 1.
The following parts can also be removed
䡲 Door seal
A Pull the seal slightly out at the corners and unhook.

42
Catalytic selfcleaning
Depending on the model, the cooking space may come supplied with a catalytic selfcleaning coating. The coating is matt and rough. During the catalytic cleaning process, food residues are burned off at temperatures of over 200 °C during normal use.
The cleaning process requires oxygen out of the air. A dirty catalytic coating should,
therefore, not be covered. Dried-up, baked-on food spills (e.g. burned-on gravy or
glaze) impair the cleaning effect and can be avoided, as follows:
A When grilling, place the original baking tray – lined with aluminium foil – at
level 1.
A Wipe away food spills as soon as possible when still in a liquid form.
A Place protective foil on the bottom of the cooking space.
For dried-up, baked-on food spills:
A Soften with a damp cloth and then wipe away.
A Use a plastic or wooden spatula to scrape off any dried-up, baked-on food spills.
Soften any stubborn rests with a damp cloth and then wipe away.
If the cooking space is heavily soiled, it is recommended that the empty cooking space
be heated for several hours at the maximum cooking space temperature using the
operating mode.
The life expectancy of the catalytic coating largely depends on the degree of soiling.
Do not scrub the cooking space or use oven sprays, cleaning
pastes or household detergents in it. The catalytic coating
may otherwise become discoloured and the selfcleaning
function may no longer work.
Only remove dried-up, baked-on food spills. Any remaining food residues will
eventually disappear after going through the baking and cleaning process a
number of times. In the case of a heavily soiled appliance or after being in
operation for several years, some stains may remain.
43
Troubleshooting
What to do if …
… the appliance is not working
… the illumination is not working
… when grilling, thick smoke is given off
Possible cause Solution

electrical installations in the
home is defect.
䡲 Fuse or circuit breaker keeps
blowing.
䡲 No power.
A Change the fuse.
A Reset the circuit breaker.
A Call Customers Services.

bulb is needed.
Possible cause Solution
䡲 The food is too near to the
heating elements.
䡲 The cooking space temper-
ature is too high.
A Check that the level being used is as recom-
mended in the 'Tips on settings'.
A Reduce the cooking space temperature.

Tips and tricks
The baking or roast looks good on the outside, but is still doughy
or raw in the middle
䡲 The baking or roasting time can be reduced only slightly by increasing the cooking
space temperature (cooked on the outside and raw on the inside). Lower the tem-
perature of the cooking space slightly and lengthen the cooking time
correspondingly.
Cake collapses
䡲 Check your settings with those given in the 'Tips on settings' section.
䡲 Reduce the cooking space temperature by 10 °C and possibly extend the baking
time.
䡲 Bake the finished cake mixture immediately. Follow the mixing times given in reci-
pes. With whisked sponge cakes, for example, beat the egg yolk mass and the
egg whites slightly longer.
䡲 Check the recipe: adding too much baking powder, for instance, can cause
problems.
Uneven browning
䡲 Uneven browning is to a certain degree normal. More even browning is generally
achieved at lower temperatures. If necessary, lower the temperature of the cooking
space slightly and extend the cooking time correspondingly.
䡲 When baking with hot air, check that the shelf levels used correspond to those re-
commended in the 'Tips on settings' section.
䡲 Do not push baking tins or bulky foodstuff right to the back of the cooking space.
… Tips and tricks
46
The baking has come out lighter on one tray than on the other
䡲 When baking on more than one tray at the same time, the baking produce is not
always ready simultaneously. Give the tray with the baking that is not so brown a
little longer.
Measuring the cooking space temperature using own thermometer
䡲 In accordance with an internationally accepted norm, the cooking space temper-
ature is measured when the appliance is empty. Taking own temperature measurements can be imprecise and not suitable for checking how exact the cooking
space temperature is.
Note for testing institutes
The stated measurements according to EN 50304 are to be tested in the hot air humid
operating mode.
