General oven information
General advice
Follow the safety warnings given previously!
Caution, Danger of overheating! When using the oven, do not cover
the bottom with aluminium foil or place pots, frying pans or the like
inside. If this happens, the oven will overheat, causing damage to the
enamel.
The oven becomes hot when in use. The cooling fan turns on when
the oven overheats. The cooling fan will remain on until the oven has
cooled down, even after the appliance has been turned off. The noises
made by the fan are normal and do not mean that it is damaged.
When preparing a dish with alcohol or yeast with settings that use hot
air, there may be a vinegary smell. If the smell is unpleasant, use a
function that does not include the fan, such as top/bottom heat.
The electronic clock features Touch-Control technology. To operate,
simply touch the glass control symbols with your fingertip. The touch
control sensitivity continuously adapts to changing conditions. Make
sure that the glass surface of the control panel is clean and free of any
obstacles when turning on the oven.
If the clock does not respond correctly when you touch the glass,
you will need to turn off the oven for a few seconds and then turn it
back on after a few seconds. Doing this causes the sensors to adjust
automatically so that they will react once more to fingertip control.

Important information about automatic cooking
with recipes
When you select a recipe and enter a weight, the oven automatically cal-
culates the temperature and cooking time needed, but these values can
be changed. Cooking time starts from a cold oven unless pre-heating
has been specifically indicated.
It is very important to select the correct food weight so that the ingre-
dients will be properly cooked.
When cooking with a thermoprobe, the oven will determine the cooking
temperature only. The cooking time will depend on the temperature
setting programmed for the thermoprobe.
With roasting programmes, after a certain time has passed the oven will
advise you that the joint of meat should be turned over. When it is time
to do this, the oven will beep.
You will also see on the display
until you have turned the roast over. If
you do not turn the roast over, the oven
will continue cooking according to the
programmed automatic cooking recipe.
For white bread, rye bread, thin-crust and thick-crust pizza base
recipes, the oven should be pre-heated first. In this way the oven will
be at the ideal temperature for the best results. Pre-heating is not
needed for the other recipes.
Follow these instructions when cooking with these recipes:
– Set the recipe first. The oven will begin pre-heating.
Do not put the food into the oven until the signal is given.
– During pre-heating, the symbol of the programmed recipe and the
symbol will flash on the display.
– When the set temperature is reached, the oven will beep. You can now
put the food into the oven.
– The oven will continue to beep until you put the food in.
– The food will be cooked automatically according to the recipe settings.
Changing the weight of the food to be cooked

Roasting
Use of the thermoprobe is recommended. The cooking time is deter-
mined by the thermoprobe, making its design ideal for roasting.
Setting a programme
1. Setting an automatic cooking recipe
The temperature is determined from the weight of the roast. The cooking
time is also determined if you intend to roast without the thermoprobe.
Both values are pre-programmed but can be changed (see previous
sections).
Before using the thermoprobe, set the weight.
Or
2. Setting a conventional cooking function
Each cooking function is associated with a pre-programmed temperature.
This temperature can be changed. You can set the cooking time and end
time. If you use the thermoprobe, you can set the cooking start time and
the oven temperature.
Turning the roast over
With the conventional cooking functions, the joint of meat must be
turned over after about 2/3 of the cooking time has passed so that it
browns evenly. If using a hot air function, you do not need to turn the
roast.
For automatic cooking recipes, once approximately 70% of the time has
passed, an alarm will sound so to alert you that the roast needs turning
over.
Roasting on the grid shelf
Use tray and grid shelf.
Large roasts can be prepared directly on the tray or on the grid shelf
with the tray below (e.g. turkey, goose, 3-4 chickens or pork hocks).
We recommend that when cooking fish this way, it should be standing
on the tray (in its swimming position). In this way, it will not need to
be turned, it does not fall apart as easily and is cooked more evenly. If
the fish does not stand upright by itself you can place it over a bed of
vegetables or over a coffee cup. Put the cup upside-down on the tray
and cover it with the fish so that it is inside the gut opening.
Pot roasting
Lean cuts of meat roast better in a covered casserole (e.g. veal that is
pot roasted or stewed in vinegar; beef or frozen meat stew). The meat
will be juicier.
You can use any type of pot or casserole (steel, enamelled, cast iron or
glass) provided it does not have wooden or plastic handles and that it is
heat-resistant.

36 EEB 6550.8
If you use an earthenware casserole, read the manufacturers instruc-
tions. The following is recommended:
– Rinse the pot or casserole with water or use a little oil or fat.
– Seal the prepared (dressed) meat in a pan on the hob.
– Place it in the pot or casserole. Cover with the lid and place it in the
cold oven on the grid shelf.
Set the automatic cooking recipe or the turbo fan with top heat function,
or , at 180-200° C.
Roasting with conventional cooking functions
When roasting with the thermoprobe the cooking time is automatically
determined, therefore the following instructions do not need to be
followed.
The settings and information in the charts refer to a cold oven unless
otherwise specified.
The cooking time of the roast depends on the type, quality and height of
the meat.
As the weight of the meat makes it fall, carefully press the sides of the
piece with both hands in order to determine its height. Instructions are
provided in the chart “Roasting with heat settings”
The cooking time for meat with a layer of fat may increase to twice the
length.
If roasting several small pieces of meat or small birds in the oven, the
cooking time should be increased by about 10 minutes per piece. For
example, the roasting time for one chicken is approximately 60 mins.
Two chickens will need between 65 and 75 mins.
Shelf levels (count from the bottom up):
As a general rule: The bigger the roast the lower the grid shelf should be
in the oven.
For larger roasts:
Hot air + grill or : Tray: Shelf level 1
Grid shelf: Shelf level 2
Hot air : Tray: Shelf level 1
Grid shelf: Shelf level 2
Top/bottom heat : Tray: Shelf level 1
Grid shelf: Shelf level 2
Instructions for automatic cooking recipes
The settings and information in the charts refer to an oven that has
not been preheated unless otherwise specified.
The roasting settings automatically adapt to the weight of the food to
be cooked, for this reason it is important to set the weight directly
after selecting the setting and before modifying the cooking time,
the cooking temperature or the inside temperature (see previous
sections).
If using an automatic cooking recipe
The roasting programmes are designed for one piece of meat or fish up to
7cm thick and without a layer of fat. Enter the correct weight and modify
the recipe, taking into account:
If there are several pieces, the cooking time will need to be extended.
If there is one piece thicker than 7cm and weighing less than 3kg, the
cooking time should be increased by 10 minutes for each centimetre
with respect to the pre-programmed value.
If there is one piece weighing more than 3 kg, the cooking time
corresponds to the predetermined value, as the differences balance out
throughout the pre-programmed cooking time.

EEB 6550.8 37
Automatic cooking recipe chart
Your oven offers the possibility of cooking with the following recipes. You only need to set the desired recipe, specify the weight of the food to be

Thermoprobe and inside
temperature function
The thermoprobe measures the inside temperature of the food being roas-
ted. When the temperature detected by the probe has reached a set value,
the roast is perfectly cooked: not too dry or too rare, but ‘just right’.
Cooking continues until the inside temperature of the roast has rea-
ched the corresponding temperature. This is the reason why it cannot
be set or adjusted. Cooking time can vary depending on the size and
type of meat, the roasting temperature and the programmed cooking
function.
The thermoprobe can be used with all cooking functions.
How to insert the thermoprobe correctly
Pierce the pointed tip of the thermoprobe horizontally through one side
into the middle of the food to be roasted.
Insert the thermoprobe fully to the handle.
The tip must not be resting close to fat or bone, or inside a hollow
cavity (e.g. in poultry).
Take care when preparing poultry that the thermoprobe does not come
into contact with any bones.
Using the thermoprobe
Put the dressed roast with the inserted thermoprobe into the oven.
Plug the thermoprobe pin into
the socket located at the top
left-hand side of the oven.
When you plug the probe in, the display
will show the symbol and the
recommended cooking temperature will
flash.
If you want to change the recommended temperature, touch and
. Touch .
Select a cooking function or automatic cooking recipe.
During cooking, the display will show
and the temperature currently
measured by the thermoprobe,
alternating with the selected
temperature.
When the inside temperature of the roast reaches the temperature you
have programmed it for, the oven will turn off, an alarm signal will
sound for a few seconds and will blink.
Touch to stop the alarm. The roast is just right and ready to serve.
If you wish to modify the thermoprobe temperature setting at any
time during cooking, touch . You can then change the temperature
setting using and . Touch . You will hear a doble beep
confirming the change has been made.

Semi-automatic cooking with thermoprobe
This function can be used to set the cooking start time. Once the thermo-
probe has detected the selected temperature, the oven will turn off.
You will not be able to set the cooking time because this is determined by
when the pre-programmed temperature inside the meat is measured by
the thermoprobe.

40 EEB 6550.8
You should be present when the cooking finishes as the roast is just
right for serving. If you leave the roast in the oven, it will continue to
cook with the heat inside the oven and the result will not be as ideal.
To set this function, connect the thermoprobe.

When the inside temperature of the roast reaches the temperature you
have programmed it for, the oven will turn off, an alarm signal will
sound for a few seconds and will blink.
Touch to stop the alarm. The oven is now off.
The roast is just right and ready to serve.
Slow cooking
Cooking at low temperatures leaves the meat especially tender, even
though it takes longer to cook. The meat can be ready to eat longer
without drying out.
Suitable for tender cuts of veal, beef, pork and lamb. It is also suitable
for chicken, turkey, duck and goose breasts (boneless).
It is not suitable for game and horse meat. Lengthy cooking of these
types of meat produces a typically strong smell.
– Remove the fat and skin before preparation (except duck breast).
– Seal the meat in a pan or pot on both sides (also both ends).
As a general rule the longer you seal the meat the shorter the time you
will need for cooking. Seal thicker cuts of meat longer than thinner
pieces. The length of the cuts of meat does not influence the time
needed to seal the meat.
Setting the heat mode/cooking temperature
– Heat the oven with the grid shelf and roasting tray for 20 minutes so
that the temperature on the inside of the oven is even.
– Select the hot air, , heat mode. Alternatively, you can choose
top/bottom heat, .
– Set the temperature and cooking time according to the chart.
As a general rule, cook thicker cuts of meat at 80°C and thinner cuts
at 70°C.
– Do not cover the meat while cooking, even if using small pieces of
meat.
Do not use the thermoprobe. It is not reliable enough for this style
of cooking. Slow cooking means the juice from the meat does not
remain inside but it is distributed evenly throughout the piece.
– You can carve the meat immediately after cooking; it does not need to
stand for a time as in the case of conventional cooking.
You may keep the meat warm in the oven at 60°C. The thicker cuts of
meat for approximately 1-2 hours, and thinner pieces for 30-40 mins.

Hot air
Preheating is not required – you can bake different things on different
levels at the same time.
Shelf levels:
1 tray: shelf level 2 from bottom
2 trays: shelf levels 1 and 4 from the bottom
When baking several flat sponges or cakes in moulds the baking time is
extended by 5-10 minutes per tray.
Take out the trays individually, start with the more golden cakes first.
Bake with hot air at 160° C when the recipe that you are following
does not give instructions for hot air.
NB: For cakes garnished with moist fruits, the level of humidity will be
particularly high. Bake only one cake at a time.
Top/bottom heat

Baking pizza
Select the baking setting
– When a pizza stone (special accessory) is used, the pizza crust will turn
out be extra crisp. Preheating time: 30 mins minimum!
Follow the instructions that come with the pizza stone.
Basic pizza recipe
250 g flour, 20 g yeast, 125 ml warm water, 3 soup spoons of oil (olive),
salt.
Baking pizza on the oven tray
– Make leavened dough with the ingredients specified.
– Leave the dough to stand until the volume has doubled (approximately
30 minutes).
– Knead the dough for a few minutes and leave to stand for a further 15
minutes.
– Start the oven setting , the oven will preheat.
– Grease the oven tray.
If baking a small round pizza, put the tray in the oven to preheat too.
– Roll out the dough, place it on the oven tray and shape an edge.
– Cover the dough with the topping of your choice but do so quickly so
that the dough does not become too moist.
– Small pizzas: place the pizza bases on the preheated tray.
– Place the tray on shelf level 1 after the alarm sounds.
– After the door is closed, the 12-minute programme will start.
Baking the pizza on the stone
– Prepare the pizza dough as described above.
– Place the pizza stone on the grid shelf and put it on shelf level 1.
– Preheat the oven with heating mode at 250°C for 30 mins.
– Place the dough on the floured pizza shovel and quickly cover it with the
topping so that it does not become too moist. The topped pizza should
not be on the pizza shovel for too long as the dough may stick to it.
– Once the oven is preheated, push the pizza from the shovel onto the
stone.
– Bake for 8-12 mins without changing the settings.
Instructions for the chart: Suggested baking
settings
The chart below features a selection of cakes and pastries with the
required temperatures, cooking times and shelf level for each case.
In most cases, the temperature range is specified given that the
temperature depends largely on how the dough is made, the quantity
and the mould used.
We recommend that at the start you use the lower temperature and only
choose the higher temperature if necessary, e.g. if you require a more
intense golden colour or if the baking time is too long.
If you cannot find instructions for a specific recipe, use instructions for
a similar cake or pastry.
Differences in the height of the food can result in differences in the
level of brownness. In such cases the temperature setting should not
be changed. Any difference in the brownness will even out during the
baking process.

Making preserves
Caution If using jars with twist-off® lids, do not use the same lid twi-
ce. This could lead to the jars smashing under certain circumstances
if used too often.
Suitable containers for preserves are clip top jars with a rubber
sealing ring or ordinary containers with twist-off® lid (with a new lid
only).
Metal tins are not suitable.
Do not spill water in the tray. Too much steam would suddenly escape
when the oven door is opened. Place a cup with water in the baking
tray, not in the bottom of the oven.

When defrosting, remember:
Food should be removed from its packaging and placed on the oven
tray or on a dish.
Defrost large cuts of meat or fish by placing them on the grid shelf with
a tray underneath to collect any liquid.
Meat and fish do not need to be completely thawed before cooking. It is
enough for the surface to be soft to enable it to be seasoned.
Food should always be cooked after defrosting.
Do not refreeze defrosted food.

Cleaning and care
Please read this chapter before using the appliance for the first time.
If it is cleaned as it should be and regularly cared for, the oven should
stay beautiful and as good as new for many years. Here is a series
of instructions that allow you to care for and clean all of the surfaces
thoroughly, without damaging them.
For all surfaces
Do not use steam and/or pressure cleaning devices on the oven. The
appliance could become damaged and may create a situation where
there is danger of death.
Danger of burning Leave the appliance to cool until you can touch it
with your hand before cleaning it.
Follow the instructions for all cleaning products.
Clean the appliance after each use. Stains or baked-on food that have not
been removed may burn the next time the appliance heats up. Often, these
types of stains or dirt cannot be removed without leaving marks.
If there are light stains, clean the surfaces with a cloth, brush or soft
sponge and hot water and some dishwashing detergent. Rinse with cold
water so that there is no detergent left which might decolour the surface
or cause more stains. Dry with a cloth immediately after.
Here are some instructions for more difficult-to-remove stains concer-
ning the different surfaces and elements.
VSR 0-FIX-C is ideal for cleaning glass-ceramic, enamel and the sur-
face of the inside of the door. This cleaning powder can be purchased
from the KÜPPERBUSCH after-sales service.
Never clean with:
– aggressive products or bleaches that contain active oxygen, chlorine or
other corrosive ingredients.
– cleaning products that can cause scratches, such as abrasive agents,
steel wool, soapy steel wool, hard brushes, metal scourers, plastic
sponges or sponges with a surface that scratches (scouring side).
Removing baked-on dirt
Baked-on dirt has to be softened first of all. The best way is by using a
damp cloth. The dirt can then be removed more easily.
Using a scraper to clean
Careful! Danger of cutting! The scraper blades are very sharp.
Always use the scraper at a low angle to the surface and for pushing the
baked-on dirt.
