Reasons for
damage
Baking sheet or aluminium Do not place baking sheets on the oven floor. Do not
foil on the oven floor line the oven floor with aluminium foil.
This causes heat to accumulate. Baking and roasting
times will no longer be correct and the enamel will be
damaged.
Baking paper If using hot air *, do not place greaseproof paper
loosely in the oven (e.g. when heating the oven).
The hot-air fan could draw in the paper which may
damage the heater and fan.
Water in the oven Never pour water directly into a hot oven.
This could damage the enamel.
Fruit juice When baking very moist fruit cakes, do not put too
much on the baking sheet. Fruit juice dripping from
the baking sheet leaves stains that cannot be
removed.
It is recommended that you use the deeper universal
pan.
Cooling with the oven door Only leave the oven to cool with the door closed. Do
not allow anything to become trapped in the oven
door. Even if you only leave the oven door open
slightly, the fronts of adjacent units may become
damaged over time.
Very dirty oven seal If the oven seal is very dirty, the oven door will no
longer close properly when the oven is in use.
The fronts of adjacent units could be damaged.
Keep the oven seal clean.
Using the oven door as a Do not stand or sit on the oven door.
seat
Care and cleaning Do not use high-pressure cleaners or steam jets.
Hotplates Keep an eye on pressure cookers during the heat-up
phase. As soon as the proper cooking pressure is
reached, reduce the heat setting.

Switching the Oven ON and OFF
Before switching on your oven, you should decide
which heating system you wish to use.
Switching the oven ON:
1. Use the function selector to determine the
desired system.
2. Set the temperature control knob to the desired
temperature.
The selected temperature will be controlled
automatically.
The oven temperature control lamp illuminates when
the oven is first switched on, and extinguishes when
the required temperature has been reached.
Switching the oven OFF:
To switch the oven OFF, turn both the temperature
selector and functions selector to the »0« position.
Notes:
The appliance features a cooling fan which runs until
the oven has cooled down.

52
Baking
Using baking tins Always place baking tins in the centre of the
baking grill.
We recommend dark metallic baking tins.
Using baking sheets The slanted (handle) end of the baking sheet must
always face the oven door.
Always fully insert baking sheets into the oven.
Use only original baking sheets.
Notes You can influence the degree of browning by
changing the temperature setting.
Light coloured baking tins made from thin-wall
materials lead to longer baking times and uneven
browning of the cake.
If a cake collapses after removing it from the oven,
consider using a longer baking time, or use a slightly
lower temperature setting.
Using tinplate baking tins *Hot air Shelf position 1
/Top/bottom heat Shelf position 1
If the cake bottom gets too dark:
Check the slide-in level. Shorten the baking time,
and possibly use a lower baking temperature.
If the cake bottom stays too light:
Check the slide-in level. Increase the baking time,
select a lower temperature, or use a dark metal
baking tin.
Do not place baking forms or high cakes too close
to the rear oven wall.

To save energy Preheat only if expressly required by the recipe.
Dark baking tins have a higher degree of heat
absorption.
Residual heat: In the case of longer baking times,
you can switch off the oven 5-10 minutes before the
full baking time has elapsed.

54
Roasting Place the grill into the universal baking pan
and slide them together into the same slide-in
level.
Meat can be roasted in the oven in a particularly
economical fashion if the weight of the cut exceeds
750 grams.
Roasting in an uncovered Rinse the universal baking pan and/or the roaster
pot with water, and place the meat into it.
With fat meat and poultry, pour 125 to 250 ml of
water (to suit the size and kind of roast) into the
universal pan. At your discretion, baste lean meat
with fat, or cover it with bacon strips.
The roast drippings collecting in the universal pan
make a tasty gravy. Dissolve the drippings with hot
water, bring to a boil, thicken with corn starch,
season to taste and, if required, pass it through a
strainer.
No preheating is required. Save energy by putting
the roast into the oven while it is still cold.
Roasting in a covered pot Place the meat into the roasting pot (or Dutch oven),
cover it with a matching lid, and place it on the grill
in the oven. We recommend that beaf roast be
prepared in a covered roasting pot.
Roasting on the roasting
sheet
(Optional accessory available
from your dealer). Place the roasting sheet into the universal pan.
The roasting sheet prevents soiling of the oven.
Grease and juice drippings from the roast are
collected in the universal pan.
To render your roast more crispy when using the
roasting sheet, you may wish to set a slightly higher
temperature than indicated in the roasting table.

We recommend using the lower of the stated
temperatures first.
In general, the lower temperature ensures a more
even browning.
We recommend turning the roast after half or two
thirds of the roasting time have elapsed when using
the setting /.
For roasting, use only cookware with oven-proof
handles.
Prepare large roast directly in the universal pan,
without using the grill.
Smaller cuts of roast can be roasted on aluminium
foil. To do so, bend the edges of the foil upward, as
if to form a dish, and place it on the grill.
After the end of the selected roasting time and with
the oven switched OFF, leave the roast in the closed
oven for approx. 10 minutes.
The roast is not done on Use a lower roasting temperature.

56
Grilling Exercise CAUTION when grilling.
Always keep children at a safe distance.
Notes on grilling Always close the oven door when grilling.
The grilling temperatures are variable.
Always use the grill and the universal pan.
Always place food to be grilled in the centre of the
wire grill.
If the grilling radiator (heating element) switches OFF
automatically, the overheating protection was
activated.
The radiator will be reactivated after a short period
of time.
Place the grill into the universal baking pan and
slide them together into the same slide-in level.

57
Combination hot-air/ Use this method for particularly crispy poultry or
surface grilling ,roast (e.g., pork roast with rind).
Use the grill and universal pan together. Turn large
roasts after about half of the total grilling time has
elapsed.
To prevent breakage after removing them from the
oven, place glass utensils on a dry kitchen towel
instead of cold or wet surfaces.
Dependent on the type of food being prepared,
combination hot-air and surface grilling can cause an
increased degree of oven soiling. Therefore, to
prevent burning-in of the soil, thorough cleaning of
the oven is recommended after each use.
Whole poultry should be turned after approx.
two-thirds of the cooking time has elapsed.
With duck and goose, pierce the skin under the
wings to allow excess fat to drain off.
After the end of the selected roasting time and with
the oven switched OFF, leave the roast in the closed
oven for approx. 10 minutes.
Surface grilling Used for smaller dishes having little height/thickness.
(Always use the grill and universal pan together.
Turn the food after approx. two-thirds of the grilling
time has elapsed.
At your discretion, lightly baste the grill and the food
with oil.

Defrosting and cooking
Defrosting and cooking
using the hot-air
system *
Important heating system For defrosting and cooking of frozen or deep-
information frozen foods, use only the hot-air heating system.
With all deep-frozen foods, follow the food
processing company‘s instructions on the
package.
As a rule, defrosted frozen or deep-frozen foods
(especially meats) require less cooking time than
fresh products, since freezing has a pre-cooking
effect.
If frozen meat is placed in the oven, the defrosting
time must be added to the required cooking time.
Always defrost deep-frozen poultry before cooking
because the giblets must be removed.
For cooking deep-frozen fish, use the same
temperatures as for fresh fish.
Deep-frozen ready-to-eat meals in aluminium
dishes may be placed into the oven several at a
time.
Slide-in levels With 1 bakings sheet: Slide-in level 1
With 2 baking sheets: Slide-in levels 1 + 3.
All stated times are approximate guidelines that
vary with the shape and volume of deep-frozen
products.
