reached or when the appliance has stopped
heating up.
Observe caution with oils and fats. They may
overheat and urn easily.

Caution: risk of burns. The inside of the door
gets very hot during operation; o serve appropriate
caution when opening the appliance. Make sure
that the open door does not swing ack when you

2.3 Operating principle of the
operating modes
Hot air circulation
In the hot air circulation mode, all prepared meals
are cooked at the same temperature. Diverse or
similar meals can e prepared on several levels
without any transfer of taste.
You can ake, roast and sterilise with hot air.
Baking with hot air circulation
This is the ideal operating mode for aking several
trays and tins at the same time. (Fig. 11)
Roasting with hot air circulation
Meat is evenly rowned on all sides. When roasting
on the grid iron, push the grilling tray one level
lower to collect dripping fat.
Hot air circulation and bottom heat
When this function is used, the ottom heating
element is additionally in operation.
The fan wheel ensures a uniform distri ution of
heat. Heat is also generated from elow. (Fig. 12)
Top and bottom heat
Two heating elements (top and ottom heat) are
operated jointly. When aking with top and ottom
heat, you can only use one level. You get the est
aking and roasting results on the second level
from elow. (Fig. 13)
This unit allows you to select the top heat element
separately. In this mode of operation you can
deli erately choose to ake or roast food from the
top.

Grilling
When grilling, food is cooked/roasted at a tempera-
ture of 150-300 °C from a ove. A distinction can e
made etween the following kinds:
Temperature-controlled grilling
During temperature-controlled grilling, the heating
element emits a greater or lesser amount of infra-
red radiation depending on the setting of the tem-
perature selector switch. (Fig. 14)
This method of grilling is suita le for flat pieces of
meat and for rowning or gratins.
Do not forget to turn grilled food!
Grilling with the hot air fan
The additional fan circulates the hot air and so
ensures a more even heat, when grilling several
items at the same time. There is no need to turn the
food frequently. (Fig. 15)

ECO
Using the ECO mode is an energy saving way to
prepare cakes, small pastries and gratins with hot
air circulation. The catalytic converter heating is
switched off in this mode. (Fig. 16)
Baking stone operation (with special
accessories PS 02 and HZ 02 only)
Be it crispy pizza or fresh read – with the aking
stone you produce aking results that are
compara le to those of a solid stone oven. (Fig. 17)

... the ta le does not list a weight for the roast? Choose the next lowest weight in the list and prolong the roasting time.

Tips for aking:
– You can use any heat-resistant dishes.
Place dishes in the middle of the grid iron.
You can also use the grilling tray for large roasts.
After removing glass dishes, place them on a dry
kitchen cloth or cooling grill. Do not place them
on a cold or wet support surface. The glass could
crack.
– You are advised to use dark metal aking forms.
You may also use light aking forms in the hot air
mode. In this case, the aking time is longer.
– The values in the cooking ta les apply to the
preheated oven. The temperature and duration
depend on the quantity and consistency of the
dough. This is why the ta les list temperature
ranges. You are advised to egin with the lowest
temperature the first time. If required, set it
higher the next time. Remem er: a lower
temperature ensures more even rowning.
– To find out if your cake mixture has aked
properly, insert a wooden stick at the highest
point of the cake around 5-10 minutes efore
expiry of the aking time specified in the recipe.
The cake is ready if dough no longer sticks to the
wood.
– In the ECO mode you might notice a slightly
stronger smell with certain foods (for example
yeast dough). In this case it is advisa le to use the
normal hot air circulation mode.
Tips for roasting and grilling:
– Before serving, allow the roast to rest for
10 minutes with the oven switched off and closed.
This keeps the roast juicy.
– Always grill in the closed oven. If possi le, grilled
pieces should e equally thick, at least 2 to 3 cm.
When this is the case, they will rown evenly and
will stay nice and juicy. Never grill steaks salted!
Place pieces for grilling directly on the grid iron.
– Poultry ecomes particularly crispy rown if you
coat it with utter, salt water, dripped-off fat or
orange juice.
– Even sensitive frozen food is thawed gently and
fast. Place the frozen food on the grid iron and
turn the “Temperature" control kno to the “Light"
position. Use the grilling tray to collect the liquid
from thawing.
– When roasting put a little it of water into the
grilling tray and place it one level elow the grid
iron. This ensures that the juices of the meat are
collected and the oven stays clean.
– In the case of duck or goose, pierce the skin
under the wings to allow the fat to drain off.
