Caution: Risk of burns!
▪ The appliance gets very hot when in
use. The appliance door also gets hot.
▪ Steam and/or hot air may escape from
the cooking space when the appliance
door is opened.
▪ The appliance will remain hot for some
time after it is switched off and will only
cool down slowly to room temperature.
Allow sufficient time for the appliance to
cool down before, for instance, cleaning
it.
▪ Overheated fat and oil can easily catch
fire. Heating oil in the cooking space to
sear meat is dangerous and should not
be done. Never attempt to extinguish
burning oil or fat with water. Danger of
explosion! Smother the flames with a
fire blanket. Keep doors and windows
closed.
▪ Do not pour spirits (brandy, whisky,
schnapps, etc.) over hot food. Danger
of explosion!
▪ Do not leave the appliance unattended
when drying herbs, bread, mushrooms,

from the appliance itself or from inside
the cooking space, keep the appliance
door closed. Disconnect the appliance
from the power supply.
▪ Accessories get hot in the cooking
space. Use protective gloves or oven
cloths.
Caution: Risk of injury!
▪ Be careful not to put fingers in the door
hinges, there is otherwise a risk of injury if the appliance door is moved. Particular care should be taken when children are around.

food probe temperature). As soon as the food reaches the target temperature (the food
probe temperature that should be attained at the end of the cooking process), operation
stops automatically. It is also possible to simply measure the food probe temperature
without stopping operation.
The food probe must be inserted as far into the middle of the meat as possible to
get a correct reading of the food probe temperature.

6.3 Soft roasting
How it functions
The soft roasting function allows high-quality cuts of meat to be prepared gently. You
can select exactly when the cooking process is complete, irrespective of the weight and
thickness of the meat. The temperature is automatically regulated.
Tips for an optimal result
▪ Take the meat out of the refrigerator some 30–60 minutes before soft roasting.
▪ Weight of meat: 500–2000g
▪ Meat thickness: at least 4cm
▪ Quality: lean, high-quality meat

«Soft roasting seared»
▸ Season or marinate the meat.
Remove any marinade made with herbs, mustard, etc. from the meat before searing. These ingredients burn easily.
▸ Salt the meat immediately before searing.
▸ Briefly sear the meat all over for no longer than 5minutes.
▸ Then place the meat in a glass or porcelain roasting dish.
26
Page 27
6 GourmetGuide
If you do not intend to sear the meat until after the soft roasting, lower the recommended target temperature by around 3–4°C.
▸ Insert the food probe into the meat so that the tip is in the centre of the thickest part.
The food probe must be inserted as far into the middle of the meat as possible to
get a correct reading of the food probe temperature. The temperature inside the
meat is crucial for optimal results at the end of cooking.
▸ Put the wire shelf at level 2 and place the dish on it.
▸ Insert the food probe plug into the socket.
▸ Start «Soft roasting seared» (see page 27).

9.1 Unsatisfactory cooking result...
… when baking and roasting
Result Solution
▪ The baking or roast looks
good on the outside but is still
doughy or raw on the inside.
▸ Next time, set a lower temperature and lengthen
the operating time.
▪ The cake collapses. ▸ Check that the settings used correspond to those
recommended in «EasyCook».
▸ Next time, set a lower temperature and lengthen
the operating time.
▸ Stir the cake mixture well. When finished, bake im-
mediately.
▸ For whisked sponges, beat the egg yolks / egg
whites to a foam a little longer and then carefully
fold into the mixture. When finished, bake immediately.
▸ Follow the instructions on how much baking
powder to add.
Result Solution
▪ The baking has browned un-
evenly.
▸ Next time, set a lower temperature and adjust the
operating time.
▸ If using , and , check that the levels
used correspond to «EasyCook».
▸ Do not push baking tins or bulky foodstuffs right to
the back of the cooking space.

11 Care and maintenance
▸ Remove the left shelf guide.
▸ Place the screw driver along the middle
of the edge of the glass and carefully remove the glass light cover 1 from its fixture.

Do not touch the halogen light bulb with bare hands. Instead, use a fine, dry,
grease-free cloth.
▸ Press the glass light cover 1 back into its fixture.
▸ Replace the shelf guides.
▸ Reconnect the power supply.
11.8 Cleaning the accessories and shelf guides
Incorrect handling can cause damage!
Do not clean the food probe in the dishwasher.
▪ The wire shelf and shelf guides can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
▪ The baking tray can be cleaned in the dishwasher; however, this will affect its non-
stick properties.
▸ Clean the food probe with a soft cloth dampened with water and a little washing-up li-
quid.
Removing and reassembling the shelf guides
▸ Swing the shelf guides 1 at the front into the middle of the
cooking space.
▸ Take the shelf guides out of the opening at the back.
▸ Put back in reverse order.

11.9 Pyrolytic self-cleaning
Danger of explosion through deposits and cleaning agents!
Remove grease or oil deposits. Do not use any chemical cleaning agents. Deposits could give rise to chemical reactions and destroy the enamel. Poisonous fumes
could escape.
Do not leave the appliance unattended.
Risk of burns from hot surfaces! The appliance front gets hotter than during normal
operation.
There is likely to be some smoke given off for a short period of time so ventilate
the room during pyrolysis.
In pyrolytic self-cleaning, any soiling is burned off at a high temperature.

11 Care and maintenance
Possible settings
▪
Lightly soiled Cleaning duration: 1½ hrs.
▪
Medium soiled Cleaning duration: 2 hrs.
▪
Heavily soiled Cleaning duration: 2½ hrs.
The pyrolytic self-cleaning process – including cooling down – takes about4–
5hours.
As long as the temperature is over 300°C, the illumination switches off and cannot be switched back on.
Over time with use the cooking space can turn matt. Fruit acid and fatty acid deposits
can leave stains. This will not affect the cooking or baking characteristics of the appliance nor affect its functioning.
Selecting and starting pyrolytic self-cleaning
Damage to accessories from self-cleaning!
Remove accessories, shelf guides, full extension roller runners, cookware and any
other objects from out of the cooking space. Otherwise they can become discoloured and their surface rough. The rolling properties of full extension roller runners
deteriorate.
▸ Close the appliance door.
▸ If the appliance is switched off: first press the adjusting knob.
▸ Press the touch button.
▸ Select .
▸ Select the degree of soiling.
– The calculated end time for the pyrolytic self-cleaning process is shown in the dis-
play above .
▸ To start the pyrolytic self-cleaning process, select .
– The appliance door locks.
Delayed start
The start of pyrolytic self-cleaning can be delayed, for example, to take advantage of
lower electricity tariffs.
▸ Select before starting.
▸ Set the desired end time.
▸ Select .
– The appliance remains switched off until the calculated automatic start.
Cancelling
▸ Select in the display.
– Pyrolytic self-cleaning is cancelled.
▸ The residual heat appears in the display.
▸ The appliance door remains locked until the temperature drops below 300°C.
End
The appliance door cannot be opened until the temperature has dropped below 300°C.
▸ Wait until the appliance has cooled to hand warm to remove any residue left behind
using a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use cleaning agents.

Page 45
14 Technical data
Placing thermocouples between the appliance door and the seal can cause lack of leaktightness and thus measuring errors.
The usable volume within the meaning of EN 50304 / EN 60350 is obtained with the
shelf guides disassembled.
14.2 Temperature measurement
The temperature inside the cooking space is measured when the cooking space is
empty according to an internationally accepted standard. Own measurements can be imprecise and are not suitable for checking the accuracy of the temperature.
