Important Information
Appliance safety
considerations
❑The appliance should only be used for
the preparation of food.
❑The surfaces of heating and cooking
appliances get hot during operation.
The interior oven walls and the heating
elements get extremely hot. Always
keep children away from the appliance.
❑Never leave the appliance unattended
when cooking with fat or oil. They can
catch fire if overheated.
❑Clean the oven regularly.
Fatty or oily remants could ignite when
the oven is switched on.
❑Make sure that the power cord does not
get caught in the hot oven door. The
plastic insulation could melt.
❑In the case of a defect, switch off at the
mains.
❑Do not store combustible items in the
oven. They could ignite if the oven is
switched on accidentally.
❑Do not clean the oven with steam or
high-pressure cleaners.
❑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.
❑Do not insert a baking sheet at the
bottom of the oven, or cover it with
aluminium foil, because a heat build-up
would result. Roasting and baking times
would change, and the enamel would
be damaged.
❑Never pour water directly into the hot
oven. Damage to the enamel could
result.
❑Dripping juices may leave spots on the
oven lining. Always place a baking tray
below to prevent this form happening.
❑Never stand or sit on the open oven
door.
❑The oven door must close properly.
Keep the door sealing surfaces clean.

Roasting with hot air ‰
Notes:
❑Meat roasted using the hot air system
will brown on all sides and stay moist
without adding additional fat.
❑Choose cuts of meat that weigh
150 grams (5oz) or more.
❑Place the shelf on top of the universal
pan.
❑Place the meat on the shelf, season if
desired.
❑Slide the pan and shelf into the oven on
the same shelf position.
❑No pre-heating is required. Save energy
by putting the roast into the cold oven.
❑Use a hot air temperature of 160 °C.
Casseroling or pot-roasting in a covered
dish:
❑Some meats should be prepared in
liquid in a covered casserole. This type
of cooking is suitable for less tender
cuts of meat.
❑Place the casserole on the wire shelf at
a suitable shelf position.
Cooking tips:
❑Only use ovenproof cookware.
❑Extra large Turkeys and joints can be
placed directly in the universal pan and
not on the wire shelf.
❑
Cover large Turkeys with foil during
cooking. Remove foil during the last hour.

15

16
Cooking Tips and Helpful Hints
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.
When cooking conventionally:
❑Cakes baked in a tin get too dark at the
back.
❑The cake gets too dry.
❑The inside of the cake remains spongy
or doughy, or meat stays raw in the
centre.
When cooking with hot air:
❑Cakes baked in a tin gets too dark at
the back.
❑Cakes remain doughy and collapse
when removed from the oven.
❑Uneven browning of small cakes or
biscuits.
❑With very moist food steam develops
and condenses on the oven door and
drips onto the floor.
Ensure that no other pans or trays are in
the oven. Lower shelf position.
Place tin on wire shelf.
Select a slightly higher oven temperature.
Cook for shorter period of time.
Use a slightly lower temperature and cook
for a longer time. Reduce the liquid in a
cake mixture.
Avoid blocking the air vents at the rear wall
of the oven with the cake tins.
Reduce the temperature for deep cakes.
Bake for a longer period of time. Test with
a skewer before removing.
Avoid placing trays too close to the back
wall. Space food on the tray.
Several brief periods of opening the oven
door during baking (1 or 2 times, more
frequently with longer roasting times) will
aid in venting the water vapour in the oven
and reduce condensation.

17
Defrosting and Cooking – Main oven
Defrosting and cooking using the hot air cooking option ‰
Important heating system information:
❑For defrosting and cooking of frozen
or deep-frozen foods, use only the
hot-air heating system.
❑With all deep-frozen foods, follow the
food manufacturers instructions on
the packaging.
❑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.
❑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.
❑Deep-frozen vegetables (i.e., when
cooking complete meals) should be
cooked in a covered pot together with
the roast. Use only approximately half of
the liquid specified in the recipe. Use fat
only for adding flavour.
Gentle defrosting: :
Recommended for delicate pastries only
(i.e., whipped-cream gateaus).
❑Turn the hot air selector switch to
the :position. Dependent on size and
type of the baked goods, defrost 25 –
45 minutes, take out of the oven and
allow to stand 30 – 45 minutes.
❑With smaller amounts (pastries), the
defrosting time is reduced to 15 – 20
minutes and the subsequent standing
time to 10 – 15 minutes.
Standard defrosting of various foods:
Shelf positions:
With 1 baking tray: shelf position 3
With 2 baking trays: shelf positions 1and 3
❑All stated times are approximate
guidelines that vary with the shape and
volume of deep-frozen products.
❑Raw deep-frozen products or foods
from a freezer always defrost at 50 °C.
Higher defrosting temperatures may
cause the food to dry out.
❑Defrost deep-frozen meals packed in
aluminium foil or closed aluminium
containers at a setting of 130 – 140 °C.
❑Place deep-frozen meals packed in
plastic bags or plastic containers in a
pot filled with water. Cover the pot and
defrost at a setting of 130 – 140 °C.
Attention: Pot handles must be oven-
proof.
❑Defrost and warm deep-frozen baked
goods at 100 – 140 °C. Brush bread,
rolls or yeast pastry lightly with water to
give a better crust.
❑Defrost dry deep-frozen yeast cakes
at 160 – 170 °C for 20 – 30 minutes.
❑Defrost moist deep-frozen yeast cakes
(with fruit topping) at 160 – 170 °C for
30 – 50 minutes after wrapping in
aluminium foil to prevent cake from
drying out.
❑Defrost and toast deep-frozen toast
(with topping) at 160 – 170 °C for about
20 minutes.
❑Defrost and bake deep-frozen pizzas
at 180 – 190 °C for 15 – 25 minutes.
Place on wire grille covered with
greaseproof paper.
Please ensure that the greaseproof
paper is suitable for use at these
temperatures.

18
Cleaning and Care
Important cleaning basics:
❑For cleaning, do not use abrasives, corrosive cleaners, aerosol cleaners or sharp objects.
❑Do not scratch off burnt-on food residues, but soak off them with a damp cloth and
washing up liquid.
❑Oven cleaners must not be used on aluminium or plastic parts.
Stainless steel front:
❑When using commercially available
Stainless Steel cleaning agents, avoid
cleaning any lettering, as this can
become damaged!
❑Do not use any scouring pads or
abrasive cleaners.
❑Use commercially available detergents
applied with a soft, moistened cloth or a
chamois.
Enamel and glass:
❑Use hot detergent suds for cleaning.
❑Remove the oven door before cleaning
the enamel surface.
Oven interior:
❑Clean the oven after each use,
especially after roasting or grilling.
Food remnants burn in when the oven is
reheated.
The baked in remnants are very difficult
to remove once burnt in.
❑You can reduce the degree of soiling by
greater use of the circotherm.
Do not clean the warm oven with any
of the cleaning products specifically
designed for this purpose.
❑When baking very moist cake (e.g. rich
fruit cake) that could drip over the top of
the tin, place on the roasting pan or
your own baking sheet.
❑When roasting, ensure that the meat
juices do not splash on to the base of
the oven.
❑Clean the oven before soiling becomes
too heavy. Wash out the oven cavity
with hot detergent suds. Leave the door
open until the interior has dried.
