Safety notes
This appliance is intended for domestic use only. This
appliance must only be used for food preparation.
Adults and children must not operate the appliance without
supervision,
■if they are physically or mentally incapable of doing so or
■if they have insufficient knowledge or experience.
Never let children play with the appliance.
Hot cooking compartment
Risk of burns!
■Never touch the interior surfaces of the cooking compartment
or the heating elements. Open the appliance door carefully.
Hot steam may escape. Small children must be kept at a safe
distance from the appliance.
■Never prepare food containing large quantities of drinks with
a high alcohol content. Alcoholic vapours can catch fire in the
cooking compartment. Only use small quantities of drinks
with a high alcohol content and open the appliance door
carefully.
Risk of fire!
■Never store combustible items in the cooking compartment.
Never open the appliance door if there is smoke inside.
Switch off the appliance. Pull out the mains plug or switch off
the circuit breaker in the fuse box.
■Do not place greaseproof paper loosely over accessories
during preheating. A draught is created when the appliance
door is opened. The greaseproof paper may come into
contact with the heating element and catch fire. Always
weight down the greaseproof paper with a dish or a baking
tin. Only cover the surface required with greaseproof paper.
The greaseproof paper must not protrude over the
accessories.
Risk of short circuit!
Never trap connecting cables of electrical appliances in the hot
appliance door. The cable insulation could melt.
Risk of scalding!
Never pour water into the hot cooking compartment. This will
produce hot steam.
Hot accessories and ovenware
Risk of burns!
Never remove ovenware or accessories from the cooking
compartment without an oven cloth or oven gloves.
Improper repairs
Risk of electric shock!
Improper repairs are dangerous. Repairs may only be carried
out by one of our trained after-sales engineers. If the appliance
is defective, pull out the mains plug or switch off the appliance
at the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Call the aftersales
service.
Causes of damage
Caution!
■Accessories, foil, greaseproof paper or ovenware on the
cooking compartment floor: do not place accessories on the
cooking compartment floor. Do not cover the cooking
compartment floor with any sort of foil or greaseproof paper.
Do not place ovenware on the cooking compartment floor if a
temperature of over 50 ºC has been set. This will cause heat
to accumulate. The baking and roasting times will no longer
be correct and the enamel will be damaged.
■Water in a hot cooking compartment: do not pour water into
the cooking compartment when it is hot. This will cause
steam. The temperature change can cause damage to the
enamel.
■Moist food: do not store moist food in the cooking
compartment when it is closed for prolonged periods This will
damage the enamel.
■Fruit juice: when baking particularly juicy fruit pies, do not
pack the baking tray too generously. Fruit juice dripping from
the baking tray leaves stains that cannot be removed. If
possible, use the deeper universal pan.
■Cooling with the appliance door open: only allow the cooking
compartment to cool when it is closed. Even if the appliance
door is only open a little, front panels of adjacent units could
be damaged over time.
■Heavily soiled oven seal: if the oven seal is heavily soiled, the
oven door will no longer close properly when the oven is in
operation. The fronts of adjacent units could be damaged.
Always keep the oven seal clean.
■Oven door as a bearing surface: do not stand or place
objects on the oven door when it is open. Do not place
ovenware or accessories on the oven door.
■Carrying the appliance: do not carry or hold the appliance by
the door handle. The door handle cannot support the weight
of the appliance and could break.
Energy and environment tips
Here you can find tips on how to save energy when baking and
roasting and how to dispose of your appliance properly.
Saving energy
Only preheat the oven if this is specified in the recipe or in the
operating instruction tables.
Use dark, black lacquered or enamelled baking tins. They
absorb the heat particularly well.
Open the appliance door as little as possible during cooking,
baking or roasting.
It is best to bake several cakes one after the other. The cooking
compartment is still warm. This may reduce the baking time for
the second cake.
For longer cooking times, you can switch the oven off
10 minutes before the end of the cooking time and use the
residual heat to finish cooking.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.
This appliance complies with European Directive
2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE). The directive gives a framework for
the collection and recycling of old appliances, which is
valid across the EU.

Shelf positions
The cooking compartment has four shelf heights. The shelf
heights are counted from the bottom up.
Note: Do not use shelf height 2 when baking and roasting
with 3CircoTherm®. This will adversely affect air circulation
and your baking and roasting results will not be as good.
Accessories
The following accessories are supplied with your appliance:
You can obtain further accessories from specialist retailers:
Note: The baking tray and universal pan may become distorted
during use. This is caused by the considerable temperature
differences acting on the accessories. This may happen when
only a part of the accessory is covered with food or when
frozen items such as pizza have been placed on the accessory.

Baking
In this section, you will find information on
■Baking tins and trays
■Baking on two or more levels
■Baking basic doughs and cake mixtures (baking table)
■Baking pre-prepared frozen products and freshly prepared
meals (baking table)
■Tips and tricks for baking
Note: Do not use shelf height 2 when baking with 3
CircoTherm®. The air circulation would be impaired and this
will have a negative effect on your baking.
Baking in tins and on trays
Baking tins
We recommend that you use dark baking tins made from metal.
Tinplate and glass dishes increase the baking time required
and the cake will not brown evenly. If you wish to bake using
tinplate tins and %Top/bottom heat, you should use shelf
height 1.
If you wish to use silicone baking tins, use the information and
recipes provided by the manufacturer as a guide. Silicone
baking tins are often smaller than normal tins. The amount of
mixture and recipe instructions may differ.
If you are baking on one level with 3CircoTherm®, always
place a loaf tin diagonally (Fig. A) and a round tin in the centre
of the stepped wire rack (Fig. B).
Baking trays
We recommend that you only use original baking trays, as
these have been optimally designed for the cooking
compartment and the operating modes.
Always slide the baking tray or the universal pan in carefully as
far as it will go and make sure that the sloping edge is facing
the appliance door.
Use the universal pan if you are baking moist cakes, so that the
cooking compartment does not get dirty.
Baking on two or more levels
If you are baking on several levels, you should preferably use
baking trays and insert these at the same time.
Bear in mind that your items may brown at different rates on
each level. The items on the top level will brown more quickly
and can be taken out earlier.
If you wish to bake on two levels using a baking tray and a
universal pan, you should insert the baking tray at shelf
height 3 and the universal pan at shelf height 1.
Baking table for basic doughs/cake mixtures
The values in the table are guidelines and apply to enamelled
baking trays and dark baking tins. The values may vary
depending on the type and amount of dough/mixture and on
the baking tin.
We recommend that you set the lower of the specified
temperatures the first time. Lower temperatures will generally
allow more even browning.
If you are baking according to your own recipe, use similar
recipes in the table as a guide.
Observe the notes in the table about preheating.

Tips and tricks
Roasting
In this section, you will find information on
■roasting in general
■roasting without a lid
■roasting with a lid
■roasting meat, poultry and fish (roasting table)
■tips and tricks for roasting
ã=There is a risk of injury if you use roasting dishes that
are not heat-resistant!
Only use roasting dishes that are marked as being suitable for
use in the oven.
Do not use shelf height 2 when roasting with 3CircoTherm®.
The air circulation would be impaired and this will have a
negative effect on your roast.
Open roasting
For open roasting, a roasting dish without a lid is used.
When you are roasting with %Top/bottom heat, you should
turn the roast approximately half to two thirds of the way
through the roasting time.
Roasting in the universal pan
Juices escape from the roasting meat and are collected in the
universal pan. You can use these juices as the basis for a tasty
gravy.
Deglaze the pan of the juices with hot water, stock, wine or
similar. Bring to the boil, thicken with cornflour, season and
pass through a sieve if necessary.
You can also cook side dishes (e.g. vegetables) at the same
time as roasting meat in the universal pan.
The cake is too light in colour Check the shelf height.
Check whether you have used the bakeware that we have recommended.
Place your tin on the wire rack and not on the baking tray.
If the shelf height and the bakeware are correct, then you should either extend the bak-
ing time or increase the temperature.
The cake is too dark Check the shelf height.
If the shelf height is correct, you should either shorten the baking time or reduce the
temperature.
The cake is unevenly browned in the bak-
ing tin Check the shelf height.
Check the temperature.
Make sure that your baking tin is not placed directly in front of the air outlets in the rear
wall of the cooking compartment.
Check that the baking tin is in the correct position on the wire rack.
The cake on the baking tray is unevenly
browned Check the shelf height.
Check the temperature.
If you are baking on several levels, take out the baking trays at different times.
When baking small items, make sure that they are the same size and thickness.
The cake is too dry Set a slightly higher temperature and a slightly shorter baking time.
The cake is too moist in the centre Set a slightly lower temperature.
Note: Higher temperatures do not necessarily mean shorter baking times (cooked on
the outside, but not on the inside). Select a longer baking time and allow the cake mix-
ture to prove for longer. Add less liquid to the mixture.
With very moist cakes, e.g. fruit flans, a lot
of steam is generated in the cooking com-
partment which condenses on the appli-
ance door.
If you briefly and carefully open the appliance door (once or twice, or more often for
longer baking times), you can let the steam out of the cooking compartment and con-
siderably lessen the condensation.
The cake collapses when you take it out of
the oven Use less liquid for the mixture.
Set a longer baking time or a slightly lower temperature.
The specified baking time is not correct For small items, check the quantity on the baking tray. The items must not be touching
each other.
Frozen products are not browned evenly
after baking Check whether the frozen product is unevenly browned before baking. This uneven browning will remain after the baking time.
Frozen products are not browned, not
crispy or the specified time is not correct Remove ice from frozen products before baking. Do not use frozen products that are heavily frosted
Saving energy Only preheat the appliance when it is specified in the baking table that you should do
so.
Use dark baking tins as these absorb the heat better.
Make use of the residual heat with longer baking times and switch the oven off
510 minutes before the end of the baking time.

15
For smaller joints, you can use a smaller roasting dish instead
of the universal pan. Place this directly on the wire rack.
Roasting in the universal pan with stepped wire rack
Place the stepped wire rack on the universal pan and slide
them in together at the same shelf height.
For fatty meat and poultry, add Xto ¼ litre water to the
universal pan, depending on the size and type of the joint.
While the meat is roasting, the liquid in the roasting dish will
evaporate. Pour in more hot water if required.
Roasting in the universal pan with roasting sheet
The roasting sheet reduces dirt in the cooking compartment.
Place the roasting sheet in the universal pan and slide them in
together at the same shelf height.
Dripping fat and meat juices are caught in the universal pan.
Roasting with a lid
This method is particularly suitable for pot roasts.
Place the joint in the roasting dish. Add water, wine, vinegar or
similar for the braising liquid. Place the lid on the dish, place
the dish on the wire rack and slide it into the cooking
compartment.
While the meat is roasting, the liquid in the roasting dish will
evaporate. Pour in more hot water if required.
Roasting table
The roasting time and temperature depend on the size, height,
type and quality of the item.
As a general rule: the larger the item, the lower the temperature
and the longer the roasting time.
Coat lean meat with fat or oil as required and cover it with strips
of bacon.
The information in the table is a guideline, and relates to items
cooked without a lid. The values may vary depending on the
type and quantity of the meat and on the roasting dish.
You should set the lower of the specified temperatures the first
time. Lower temperatures will generally allow more even
browning.
At the end of the roasting time, switch the oven off and leave
the roast to rest for approximately 10 minutes in the cooking
compartment with the door closed. The recommended rest time
is not included in the given roasting times.
The information in the table is for food placed in a cold oven
and for meat/fish taken directly from the refrigerator.

Grilling
In this section, you will find information on
■Grilling in general
■Circo-roasting 4
■Radiant grilling (Full-surface +and Centre-area grill ()
Caution!
Material damage due to effect of heat: The temperature
generated in the cooking compartment is very high. Keep the
appliance door closed when using the grill. Never grill with the
appliance door open.
Notes
■Always use the wire rack and the universal pan when grilling
■Place the wire rack in the universal pan and slide them both
in at the height specified in the grilling table
■Always place the food to be grilled in the centre of the wire
rack
■If you are grilling more than one piece of meat, make sure
that they are the same sort of meat and that they are of
similar thickness and weight.
Circo-roasting
The 4Circo-roasting operating mode is particularly suitable for
poultry or meat (e.g. roast pork with crackling) that is to be
crispy.
Turn large items of food after approximately half to two-thirds of
the grilling time.
Pierce duck and goose skin under the wings and legs to allow
the fat to escape.
Depending on the food you are cooking, the cooking
compartment may become very dirty when you cook food on
the wire rack using Circo-roasting. You should therefore clean
the cooking compartment after every use so that the dirt does
not burn on.
The information in the table are guidelines and apply to the
enamelled universal pan with wire rack. The values may vary
depending on the type and amount of food to be grilled.
You should set the lower of the specified temperatures the first
time. Lower temperatures will generally allow more even
browning.
At the end of the cooking time, switch the grill off and leave the
food to stand for approximately 10 minutes in the cooking
compartment with the door closed. The recommended standing
time is not included in the grilling times specified.
The values are for food placed in a cold oven and for meat
taken directly from the refrigerator.

Radiant grilling
For grilling large quantities of flat items, use the +Full-surface
grill (Fig. A).
For grilling small quantities of flat items, use the (Centre-area
grill. Place the food to be grilled in the centre of the wire rack
(Fig. B). You will save energy by using the centre-area grill.
Brush the items to be grilled with a little oil to taste.
Turn the items after half to two-thirds of the grilling time.
You can influence the grilling result by changing the type or
position of the wire rack.
Note: Always use the universal pan in the standard position
(not the other way up).

In this section, you will find information on
■Low-temperature cooking /
■Tips and tricks
Low-temperature cooking is a method of cooking slowly at low
temperatures, and is also known as slow cooking.
Low-temperature cooking is ideal for all prime cuts of meat (e.g.
tender portions of beef, veal, pork, lamb and poultry) that are to
be cooked medium/medium rare or "à point". The meat will
remain succulent and tender.
Using Low-temperature cooking
Notes
■Only use fresh, clean meat
■The meat will always look pink on the inside after Low-
temperature cooking. This does not mean that the cooking
time was too short
■Only use boned meat
■Do not use defrosted meat
■You can also use seasoned or marinated meat
■Always use shelf height 1 for Low-temperature cooking
■Do not cover the meat while it is cooking in the cooking
compartment
■Do not turn pieces of meat during the low-temperature
cooking process
■The size, thickness and type of meat will have a significant
influence on the searing and low-temperature cooking times
■The properties of the pan and the heat output of the hotplate
can influence the searing time
■Do not use the Low-temperature cooking mode together with
the Preselection mode clock function
Only switch the Low-temperature cooking mode on when the
cooking compartment has completely cooled down (room
temperature).
If •or œand üüü appear alternately in the temperature display
when the Low-temperature cooking mode is switched on, the
cooking compartment has not cooled down completely.
Wait until the cooking compartment has cooled down and
switch Low-temperature cooking on again.
1. Place a glass or porcelain plate on a wire rack and insert at
shelf height 1 to warm the plate.
2. Switch on /Low-temperature cooking.
During the heating up phase (15 - 20 minutes), üüü appears in
the temperature display.
3. Remove fat and sinews from the meat.
4. Sear the meat on all sides to seal the meat and to create a
roasted flavour.
5. When a signal sounds and ‹Ÿ appears in the text display,
place the meat on the glass or porcelain plate in the cooking
compartment.
6. Take out the meat at the end of the cooking time and switch
off the appliance.
Note: Meat cooked at a low temperature does not need to rest,
and can easily be kept warm at a low temperature.
Table for Low-temperature cooking
The information in the table contains only guide values. The
searing time is for searing in a hot pan with fat.
Place the duck breast in a cold pan and fry the skin side first.
Following Low-temperature cooking, insert at shelf height 3 and
grill at 250 °C for 3 5 minutes until crispy.
You can find information on how to proceed, further instructions
and recipes in the accompanying cookbook.

Defrosting with CircoTherm®
Use 3CircoTherm® to defrost and cook frozen products.
Notes
■Frozen products that have been defrosted (meat in particular)
require shorter cooking times than fresh products
■The cooking time for frozen meat increases by the defrosting
time
■Always defrost frozen poultry before cooking so that you can
remove the giblets
■Cook frozen fish at the same temperatures as fresh fish
■You can place large quantities of ready made frozen
vegetables in aluminium dishes in the cooking compartment
at the same time
■Use shelf height 1 when defrosting on one level, and shelf
heights 1 + 3 when using two levels
■Observe the instructions on the packaging when using frozen
foods.
Defrost
Using defrost setting Ayou can defrost delicate pastries
particularly well (e.g. cream cakes).
