2 Preventing material damage

2.1 General

ATTENTION! Alcoholic vapours may catch fire in the hot cooking compartment and cause permanent damage to the appliance. The appliance door may spring open due to an explosion and it may fall off. The door panels may shatter and fragment. Due to the resulting negative pressure, the cooking compartment may become considerably deformed inwards.

• Do not heat spirits (≥ 15% vol.) when undiluted (e.g. for marinating or pouring over food).
• If there is water on the cooking compartment floor when operating the appliance at temperatures above 120 °C, this will damage the enamel. Do not use the appliance if there is water on the cooking compartment floor. Wipe away any water on the cooking compartment floor before operation.
• Objects on the cooking compartment floor at over 50 °C will cause heat to build up. The baking and roasting times will no longer be correct and the enamel will be damaged. Do not place any accessories, greaseproof paper or foil of any kind on the cooking compartment floor. Only place cookware on the cooking compartment floor if a temperature under 50 °C has been set.
• When the cooking compartment is hot, any water inside it will create steam. The change in temperature may cause damage. Never pour water into the cooking compartment when it is still hot. Never place cookware containing water on the cooking compartment floor.
• The prolonged presence of moisture in the cooking compartment leads to corrosion. Allow the cooking compartment to dry after use. Do not keep moist food in the cooking compartment for a long time with the door closed. Do not store food in the cooking compartment.

Leaving the appliance to cool down with the door open will damage the front of neighbouring kitchen units over time.

• Always allow the cooking compartment to cool down with the door closed after cooking at high temperatures.
• Take care not to trap anything in the appliance door.
• Only leave the cooking compartment to dry with the door open if a lot of moisture was produced during operation.

Fruit juice dripping from the baking tray leaves stains that cannot be removed.

• When baking very juicy fruit flans, do not pack too much on the baking tray.
• If possible, use the deeper universal pan.

Using oven cleaner in a hot cooking compartment damages the enamel.

• Never use oven cleaner in the cooking compartment when it is still warm.
• Remove all food remnants from the cooking compartment and the appliance door before you next heat up the appliance.

If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no longer close properly during operation. This may damage the front of adjacent kitchen units.

3 Environmental protection and saving energy

3.1 Disposing of packaging

The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.

• Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.

3.2 Saving energy

If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less power.

• Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the recommended settings tell you to do so. Not preheating the appliance can reduce the energy used by up to 20%.
• Use dark-coloured, black-coated or enamelled baking tins. These types of baking tin absorb the heat particularly well.
• Open the appliance door as little as possible during operation. This maintains the temperature in the cooking compartment and eliminates the need for the appliance to reheat.
• When baking multiple dishes, do so in succession or in parallel. The cooking compartment is heated after baking the first dish. This reduces the baking time for the second cake.
• If the cooking time is relatively long, you can switch the appliance off 10 minutes before the cooking time ends. There will be enough residual heat to finish cooking the dish.
• Remove any accessories that are not being used from the cooking compartment. Accessories that are not being used do not need to be heated.
• Allow frozen food to defrost before cooking. This saves the energy that would otherwise be required to defrost it.

Note: The appliance requires:

• a maximum of 1 W when the appliance is in operation with the display switched on
• a maximum of 0.5 W when the appliance is in operation with the display switched off

18 How it works

Here, you can find the ideal settings for various types of food as well as the best accessories and cookware. We have perfectly tailored these recommendations to your appliance.

18.1 Cooking tips

Observe this information when preparing food.

• The temperature and cooking time depend on the amount of food and the recipe. Settings ranges are specified for this reason. Try using the lower values to start with.
• The setting values apply to food placed in the cooking compartment while the cooking compartment is still cold. Do not slide the accessory into the cooking compartment until it has finished preheating.
• Remove any accessories that are not being used from the cooking compartment.

18.2 Notes on baking

When baking, use the shelf positions indicated.

Baking on one level

Baking on two levels

Baking on three levels

Notes

• When baking on several layers, always use hot air. Baked goods that are placed in the oven at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.
• Position baking tins/dishes either next to one another or offset on different shelves so that they are not directly one above the other in the cooking compartment.
• For best results, we recommend using dark-coloured metal bakeware.

18.3 Notes on roasting and grilling

The setting values are based on the assumption that unstuffed, chilled, ready-to-roast poultry, meat or fish is placed into a cold cooking compartment.

ATTENTION! Acidic food may damage the grid.

• Do not place acidic food, such as fruit or food with an acidic marinade directly on the pan support.

• The larger the poultry, meat or fish, the lower the cooking temperature and the longer the cooking time.
• Turn the poultry, meat or fish after approx. 1/2 to 2/3 of the time listed.
• Add a little liquid to the poultry in the cookware. Cover the bottom of the cookware with approx. 1–2 cm of liquid.
• When you turn poultry, ensure that the breast side or skin side is underneath to begin with.
• Cooking time calculation (e.g. 20 + 35): To calculate the cooking time, assume 20 minutes per 500 g of meat plus an extra 35 minutes. For 1.5 kg, the cooking time is then 95 minutes.
• Cooking time range (e.g. 10–15): Your food will be ready within the specified range of time.

Information for those allergic to nickel: In rare cases, small amounts of nickel may pass into the food.

Roasting and grilling on the wire rack

Roasting on the wire rack works particularly well for large poultry or for multiple pieces at the same time.

• Depending on the size and type of the food to be roasted, add up to 1/2 litre water to the universal pan. You can make a sauce from the juices that are collected. This also means that less smoke is produced and the cooking compartment does not become as dirty.
• Keep the appliance door closed when using the grill. Never grill with the appliance door open.
• Place the food to be grilled on the wire rack. In addition, slide the universal pan in at least one shelf position lower, with the slanted edge facing the appliance door. This means that any dripping fat is caught.

Roasting in cookware

When preparing food in cookware with a lid, the cooking compartment remains cleaner. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your roasting dishes. Glass cookware is best.

Cookware without lid

• Use a deep roasting dish.
• Place the cookware onto the wire rack.
• If you do not have any suitable cookware, use the universal pan.

Cookware with lid

• Place the cookware onto the wire rack.
• Meat, poultry and fish can also become crispy in a covered roasting dish. Use a roasting dish with a glass lid. Set a higher temperature.

⚠️ WARNING – Risk of injury! If hot glass cookware is placed on a wet or cold surface, the glass may shatter.

• Place hot glass ovenware on a dry mat after cooking.

⚠️ WARNING – Risk of scalding! Very hot steam may escape when the lid is opened after cooking. Steam may not be visible, depending on the temperature.

• Lift the lid in such a way that the hot steam can escape away from you.
• Keep children away from the appliance.
