Frequently Asked Questions - HX9R3AE20N SIEMENS

How do I activate the child lock on my Siemens HX9R3AE20N hob?

To activate the child lock, press and hold the child lock key (usually a padlock icon) for 3 seconds until an indicator lights up. Repeat to deactivate.

What type of cookware is compatible with this induction hob?

Only ferromagnetic cookware such as cast iron or stainless steel with a magnetic base works. Test with a magnet; if it sticks, it's compatible.

How do I use the FlexInduction feature?

Place a large pan or griddle across two zones, then use the FlexInduction button to combine them. The hob automatically adjusts power across the combined area.

Why does my hob show an error code E?

Error codes indicate specific faults. For example, E011 often means a pan detection issue. Check cookware compatibility or reset the hob by disconnecting power for 30 seconds. Refer to the manual for details.

How do I clean the glass ceramic surface?

Allow the hob to cool completely. Use a damp cloth with mild detergent or a dedicated glass ceramic cleaner. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals.

Causes of damage

Hob

Caution!

■ Only use the burners when cookware has been placed on top. Do not heat up empty pots or pans. The saucepan base will be damaged.
■ Only use pots and pans with an even base.
- Place the pot or pan centrally over the burner. This will optimise transfer of the heat from the burner flame to the pot or ban base. The handle does not become damaged, and greater energy savings are guaranteed.
- Observe the manufacturer's instructions when using special ovenware. Aluminium foil and plastic containers can melt and stick on hot burners.
■ Ensure that the gas burners are clean and dry. The burner cup and burner cap must be positioned exactly.
- Clear up spills immediately. Use deep pots for dishes with a lot of liquid. This will prevent the food from boiling over.
■ Cooking on gas burners releases extra heat and moisture. Adjacent units may become damaged over time. For long cooking times, switch on the cooker hood or ventilate the room.
■ Ensure that the top cover is not closed when the oven is started up.
■ The area around the appliance must be clean and dry.

Always keep the appliance and the area around it clean and dry after cleaning.

Make sure that there are no cleaning materials, cleaning products or water marks on any of the appliance's surfaces.

Damage to the oven

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 °C 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.
■ Aluminium foil: Aluminium foil in the cooking compartment must not come into contact with the door glass. This could cause permanent discolouration of the door glass.
■ 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.
■ Moisture in the cooking compartment: Over an extended period of time, moisture in the cooking compartment may lead to corrosion. Allow the cooking compartment to dry after use. Do not keep moist food in the closed cooking compartment for extended periods of time. Do not store food in the cooking compartment.

■ Cooling with the appliance door open: Following operation at high temperatures, only allow the cooking compartment to cool down with the door closed. Do not trap anything in the appliance door. Even if the door is only left open a crack, the front of nearby furniture may become damaged over time. Only leave the cooking compartment to dry with the door open if a lot of moisture was produced whilst the oven was operating.
- 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.
- Extremely dirty seal: If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no longer close properly during operation. The fronts of adjacent units could be damaged. Always keep the seal clean. Never operate the appliance if the seal is damaged or missing. → "Cleaning" on page 23
■ Appliance door as a seat, shelf or worktop: Do not sit on the appliance door, or place or hang anything on it. Do not place any cookware or accessories on the appliance door.
- Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance model, accessories can scratch the door panel when closing the appliance door. Always insert the accessories into the cooking compartment as far as they will go.
- 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.
- Grilling: do not insert the baking tray or universal pan higher than level 3 when grilling. The high heat distorts it and the enamel may be damaged when it is removed. At level 4 and 5, only grill directly on the wire rack.

Damage to the plinth drawer

Caution!

Do not place hot objects in the plinth drawer. It could be damaged.

Environmental protection

Your new appliance is particularly energy-efficient. Here you can find tips on how to save even more energy when using the appliance, and how to dispose of your appliance properly.

Saving energy

■ Only preheat the appliance if this is specified in the recipe or in the tables in the operating instructions.
■ Leave frozen food to defrost before placing it in the cooking compartment.

■ Use baking tins that are dark-coloured, painted black or have an enamel coating. These absorb the heat particularly well.

■ Remove any unnecessary accessories from the cooking compartment.

■ Open the appliance door as infrequently as possible when the appliance is in use.

It is best to bake several cakes one after the other. The cooking compartment stays warm. This reduces the baking time for the second cake. You can place two cake tins next to each other in the cooking compartment.

■ For longer cooking times, you can switch the appliance off 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time and use the residual heat to finish cooking.

Saving energy with the gas hob

■ Always use a saucepan which is the correct size for your food. A larger, less full saucepan requires a lot of energy.
■ Always place a suitable lid on the saucepan.
■ The gas flame must always be in contact with the base of the saucepan.

When the appliance is heating, the ⚠ symbol will be lit on the display. It goes out during pauses in the heating.

When you are preheating the appliance, the optimal time to place your food in the cooking compartment is when the symbol first goes out.

Note: Due to thermal inertia, the temperature displayed may be slightly different to the actual temperature inside the oven.

Hotplate controls

You can use the four hotplate controls to adjust the heat output of the individual hotplates.

Positions Function/gas hotplates

●	Off position The hotplate is switched off.
☆↑	Ignition position Ignition position
◇	Settings range Large flame = highest power
◇	Economy flame = lowest power

There is a limit stop at the end of the settings range. Please do not turn the knob beyond this point.

Cooking compartment

Various functions in the cooking compartment make your appliance easier to use. For example, the cooking compartment is well lit and a cooling fan prevents the appliance from overheating.

Opening the appliance door

If you open the appliance door when the appliance is in operation, the appliance will continue to operate as before.

Interior lighting

With most heating functions and other functions, the interior lighting in the cooking compartment will remain

lit while the oven is in operation. When the function selector is turned to bring operation to an end, the lighting will go out.

By turning the function selector to the interior lighting setting, you can switch on the lighting without heating the oven. This makes it easier to clean your appliance, for example.

Cooling fan

The cooling fan switches on and off as required. The hot air escapes above the door.

Caution!

Do not cover the ventilation slots. Otherwise, the appliance may overheat.

So that the cooking compartment cools down more quickly after operation, the cooling fan continues to run for a certain period afterwards.

Accessories

Your appliance is accompanied by a range of accessories. Here, you can find an overview of the accessories included and information on how to use them correctly.

Accessories included

Your appliance is equipped with the following accessories:

Wire rack

For ovenware, cake tins and ovenproof dishes.

Only use genuine accessories. They are specially adapted for your appliance.

You can buy accessories from the after-sales service, from specialist retailers or online.

Note: The accessories may become deformed when they become hot. This does not affect their function. Once they cool down again, they regain their original shape.

Inserting accessories

The cooking compartment has five shelf positions. The shelf positions are counted from the bottom up.

In some appliances, the highest shelf position is marked on the cooking compartment by the grill symbol.

Always insert accessories between the two guide rods for the shelf position.

Accessories can be pulled out approximately halfway without tipping.

When sliding accessories into the cooking compartment, ensure that the kink in the side rail is at the back. Only then will they lock in place.

Notes

• Hold the baking tray securely at the sides with both hands and slide it into the shelf supports, keeping it parallel. Do not move the baking tray from side to side as you slide it in, otherwise it will not go in easily and the enamelled surfaces may be damaged.
  ■ Make sure that you always insert the accessories into the cooking compartment the right way round.
  ■ Always insert the accessories fully into the cooking compartment so that they do not touch the appliance door.
  ■ Take any accessories that you will not be using out of the cooking compartment.

Precautions for use

The following advice is intended to help you save energy and prevent pan damage:

Use pans which are the right size for each burner. Do not use small pans on large burners. The flame must not touch the sides of the pan.

Do not use damaged pans, which do not sit evenly on the hob. Pans may tip over. Only use pans with a thick, flat base.

Do not cook without using a lid and make sure the lid is properly fitted. This wastes energy.

Always place the ovenware centrally over the burner. Otherwise, there is a risk that it may tip over.

Place the pans on the pan supports, never directly on the burner. Make sure that the pan supports and burner caps are correctly positioned before using the appliance. Pans should be placed on the hob carefully. Do not strike the hob and do not place excessive weight on it.

Never use two burners or heat sources to heat one single pan. Do not use grill pans, earthenware casserole dishes, etc. for a long period of time on maximum power.

Gas burners

This chapter explains how to set a hotplate. The table shows heat settings and cooking times for various meals.

Advance cleaning of burner cup and cap

Clean the burner cap (1) and cup (2) with water and washing-up liquid. Dry the individual parts carefully.

Place the burner cup and cap back on the burner shell (5). Ensure that the igniter (3) and flame safety pin (4) are not damaged.

The nozzle (6) must be dry and clean. Always position the burner cap exactly over the burner cup.

Igniting the gas burners

Always position the burner lid precisely on the burner cup. The openings in the burner cup must remain unobstructed at all times. All parts must be dry.

1. Open the top cooker cover. The top cover must remain open for as long as the hob is in operation.
2. Turn the knob for the required burner anti-clockwise to the ignition position 个 . The ignition process starts.
3. Press and hold the burner knob for 1-3 seconds. Gas begins to flow out and the gas burner ignites.

The flame failure device is activated. If the gas flame goes out, the gas supply is automatically shut off by the flame failure device.

1. Set the desired flame size. Between the • Off position and the 🔒 position, the flame is not stable. Therefore, always choose a position between the 🔒 large flame and 🔒 small flame.
2. Check whether the flame is lit. If it is not, repeat the process from step 2.
3. To end the cooking process, turn the hotplate control clockwise to the • Off position.

The hotplate control should not be actuated for longer than 15 seconds. If the burner does not ignite within 15 seconds, wait at least 1 minute before repeating the procedure.

Warning – Caution!

If, after switching the cooker off, you turn the burner knob while the cooker is still hot, gas will escape. If you do not turn the burner knob to the ² ignition position within 60 seconds, the gas supply is shut off.

The gas burner does not ignite

If there is a power cut or if the ignition plugs are damp, you can light the gas burners with a gas lighter or a match.

Warnings

It is normal to hear a soft whistling noise while the burner is operating.

When first used, it is normal for the burner to give off odours. This does not pose any risk and does not indicate a malfunction. They will disappear in time.

An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by the presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilt liquids, etc.

In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.

A few seconds after the burner is switched off, a sound (thud) will be produced. This is not a fault - this means that the safety device is no longer operating.

Keep the burner as clean as possible. If the ignition sparkers are dirty they will not light properly. Clean them periodically using a small non-wire brush. Bear in mind that the ignition sparkers must not suffer any serious impacts.

Table - Cooking

Select the right saucepan size for each burner. The diameter of the saucepan or pan base should be the same as that of the burner.

Cooking times may vary depending on the type of food, its weight and quality. Because of possible variations, it is best to judge the optimal cooking time yourself.

Use as little water as possible when cooking, so that the food retains its vitamins and minerals. Select short cooking times so that the vegetables remain firm and full of nutrients.

Example Food Hotplate Cooking mode
Melting Chocolate, butter, margarine		Economy burner Small flame
Warming	Stock, tinned vegetables	Standard-output burner	Small flame
Heating and keeping warm	Soups	Economy burner Small flame
Steaming*	Fish	Standard-output burner	Between large and small flame
Braising*	Potatoes and miscellaneous vegetables, meat	Standard-output burner	Between large and small flame
Boiling*	Rice, vegetables, meat dishes (with sauces)	Standard-output burner	Large flame
Frying	Pancakes, potatoes, schnitzel, fish fingers	High-output burner**Wok burner**	Between large and small flame

* If you are using a saucepan with a lid, turn the flame down as soon as the food starts to boil.
** Optional. Available for some appliances. Depending on the appliance model. (For frying on the wok burner, we recommend that you use a wok.)

Notes

■ Slight differences in colour on the front of the appliance are caused by the use of different materials, such as glass, plastic and metal.
■ Shadows on the door panels, which look like streaks, are caused by reflections made by the interior lighting.
- Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures. This can cause some slight colour variation. This is normal and does not affect operation. The edges of thin trays cannot be completely enamelled. As a result, these edges can be rough. This does not impair the anti-corrosion protection.

Surfaces in the cooking compartment

The back wall in the cooking compartment is self-cleaning. You can tell this from the rough surface.

The base, ceiling and side panel are enamelled and have smooth surfaces.

Cleaning enamel surfaces

Clean the smooth enamel surfaces with a dish cloth and hot soapy water or a vinegar solution. Then dry them with a soft cloth.

Soften baked-on food remnants with a damp cloth and soapy water. Use stainless steel wire wool or oven cleaner to remove stubborn dirt.

Caution!

Never use oven cleaner in the cooking compartment when it is still warm. This may damage the enamel. Remove all food remnants from the cooking compartment and the appliance door before you next heat up the appliance.

Leave the cooking compartment open to dry after cleaning it.

Note: Food residues can cause white deposits to form. These are harmless and do not affect how the appliance works. You can remove these residues using lemon juice if required.

Cleaning self-cleaning surfaces

The self-cleaning surfaces are coated with a porous, matte ceramic layer. This coating absorbs and dispels splashes from baking and roasting while the appliance is in operation.

If the self-cleaning surfaces no longer clean themselves sufficiently and dark stains appear, they can be cleaned using targeted heating.

Making settings

Remove the rails, pull-out shelves, accessories and ovenware from the cooking compartment beforehand. Thoroughly clean the smooth enamel surfaces in the cooking compartment, the inside of the appliance door and the glass cover on the interior lighting.

1. Set the 3D hot air type of heating.
2. Set the maximum temperature.
3. Start the mode and leave it to run for at least one hour.
   The ceramic coating is regenerated.

When the cooking compartment has cooled down, remove the brown or white residue with water and a soft sponge.

Note: During operation, reddish spots form on the surfaces. This is not rust, but residues from food. These spots are not harmful and do not restrict the cleaning ability of the self-cleaning surfaces.

Caution!

Do not use oven cleaner on the self-cleaning surfaces. This will damage the surfaces. If oven cleaner does get onto these surfaces, dab it off immediately using water and a sponge cloth. Do not rub the surface and do not use abrasive cleaning aids.

Keeping the appliance clean

Always keep the appliance clean and remove dirt immediately so that stubborn deposits of dirt do not build up.

Warning – Risk of fire!

Loose food remnants, fat and meat juices may catch fire. Before using the appliance, remove the worst of the food remnants from the cooking compartment, heating elements and accessories.

Tips

■ Clean the cooking compartment after each use. This will ensure that dirt cannot be baked on.

■ Always remove flecks of limescale, grease, starch and albumin (e.g. egg white) immediately.
■ Use the universal pan for baking very moist cakes.
■ Use suitable ovenware for roasting, e.g. a roasting dish.

humidClean cleaning aid

The cleaning aid is a quick alternative for occasionally cleaning the cooking compartment. The cleaning aid softens dirt by vaporising the soapy water. It can then be removed more easily.

Setting the cleaning aid

Prerequisite: The cooking compartment has cooled down completely.

Warning – Risk of scalding!

Water in a hot cooking compartment may create hot steam. Never pour water into the cooking compartment when the cooking compartment is hot.

1. Remove any accessories from the cooking compartment.
2. Mix 0.4 litres water with a drop of washing-up liquid and pour into the centre of the cooking compartment floor. Do not use distilled water.
3. Use the function selector to set the Bottom heating □ type of heating.
4. Use the temperature selector to set 80 °C.
5. Press the Ⓐ button repeatedly until I→I is highlighted in the display.
6. Use the - or + button to set the duration to 4. After a few seconds, the appliance starts heating and the time counts down. Once the time has elapsed, an audible signal sounds and the display shows the time as zero.
7. Switch off the appliance and leave it to cool down for approx. 20 minutes.

Cleaning the cooking compartment after use

Caution!

The prolonged presence of moisture in the cooking compartment leads to corrosion. After using the cleaning aid, wipe the cooking compartment clean and allow it to cool down completely.

Prerequisite: The cooking compartment has cooled down.

1. Open the appliance door and remove the remaining water with an absorbent sponge cloth.
2. Clean the smooth surfaces in the cooking compartment with a dish cloth or a soft brush. Remove stubborn food remnants using a stainless steel scouring pad.
3. Remove limescale with a cloth soaked in vinegar. Then wipe with clean water and rub dry with a soft cloth (including under the door seal).
4. Once the cooking compartment is cleaned sufficiently:
5. To allow the cooking compartment to dry, open the appliance door halfway (approx. 30°) and leave it open for approx. one hour.

- To dry the cooking compartment quickly, use 3D hot air to heat up the appliance for approx. five minutes at 50°C while the door is open.

Detaching and attaching the oven door

For cleaning purposes and to remove the door panels, you can detach the oven door.

The oven door hinges each have a locking lever. When the locking levers are closed (figure A), the oven door is secured in place. It cannot be detached. When the locking levers are open in order to detach the oven door (Fig. B), the hinges are locked. They cannot snap shut.

Warning – Risk of injury!

Whenever the hinges are not locked, they snap shut with great force. Ensure that the locking levers are always fully closed or, when detaching the oven door, fully open.

Detaching the door

1. Open the oven door fully.
2. Fold up the two locking levers on the left and right (figure A).
3. Close the oven door as far as the limit stop. With both hands, grip the door on the left and right-hand sides. Close the door a little further and pull it out (figure B).

Attaching the door

Reattach the oven door in the reverse sequence to removal.

1. When attaching the oven door, ensure that both hinges are inserted straight into the opening (figure A).
2. The notch on the hinge must engage on both sides (figure B).

1. Fold back both locking levers (figure C). Close the oven door.

Warning – Risk of injury!

If the oven door falls out accidentally or a hinge snaps shut, do not reach into the hinge. Call the after-sales service.

Removing and installing the door panels

To facilitate cleaning, you can remove the glass panels from the oven door.

Removal

1. Detach the oven door and lay it on a cloth with the handle facing down.
2. Pull off the cover at the top of the oven door. Press in the tabs on the left and right using your fingers (fig. A).
3. Lift the top panel up and pull it out (fig. B).

1. Lift the panel up and pull it out (fig. C).

Clean the panels with glass cleaner and a soft cloth.

Warning – Risk of injury!

Scratched glass in the appliance door may develop into a crack. Do not use a glass scraper, sharp or abrasive cleaning aids or detergents.

Installation

During installation, make sure that the lettering "top right" is upside down at the bottom left.

1. Insert the panel at an angle towards the back (fig. A).
2. Insert the top panel at an angle towards the back into the brackets. The smooth surface must face outwards. (fig. B).

1. Put the cover back in place and press on it.
2. Attach the oven door.

Do not use the oven again until the panels have been correctly installed.

Additional door safety

When preparing meals with long cooking times, the oven door can reach very high temperatures.

Supervise small children and keep them away from the oven when the oven is in operation.

Additional safety devices have been fitted to prevent contact with the oven door. Always attach these safety devices when children could come near the oven.

You can purchase this optional accessory (11023590) from the after-sales service.

Upper glass cover

Before opening the top cover, remove any spills with a cloth.

Use glass cleaner if possible.

For cleaning, remove the top cover. To do this, hold the cover securely on both sides with both hands and pull it upwards.

If the cover hinges become loose, note the letters marked on them. The hinge with the letter R must be fitted on the right, and the hinge with the letter L must be fitted on the left.

After cleaning, re-assemble the top cover following the same procedure in reverse order.

Only close the top cover once the burners have cooled down.

Warning – Risk of injury!

A scratched glass cover may break and fragment. Do not use glass scrapers, sharp or abrasive cleaning aids, or harsh cleaning products.

Tested for you in our cooking studio

Here, you can find a selection of dishes and the ideal settings for them. We will show you which type of heating and temperature are best suited to your dish. You will get information on suitable cooking accessories and the height at which they should be placed in the oven. You will also get tips about cookware and preparation methods.

Note: A lot of steam can build up in the cooking compartment when cooking food.

Your appliance is very energy-efficient and radiates very little heat to its surroundings during operation. Due to the significant differences in temperature between the appliance interior and the external parts of the appliance, condensation may build up on the door, the control panel or the front panels of adjacent kitchen cabinets. This is a normal physical phenomenon. Condensation can be reduced by preheating the oven or opening the door carefully.

General information

Recommended setting values

The table lists the optimal heating function for various types of food. The temperature and cooking time depend on the amount of food and the recipe. For this reason, the table specifies setting ranges. Try using the lower value to start with. A lower temperature will result in more even browning. You can increase the temperature next time if necessary.

Note: Cooking times cannot be reduced by using higher temperatures. The food would only be cooked on the outside, but would not be fully cooked in the middle.

The setting values apply to food placed in the cooking compartment while the cooking compartment is still cold. This will save energy. If you preheat the oven, you can reduce the indicated baking times by several minutes.

Preheating is necessary for selected types of food – this is indicated in the table. Do not place your food and accessory into the cooking compartment until it has finished preheating.

If you wish to follow one of your own recipes, you should use the settings listed in the table for similar food as reference. Additional information can be found in the baking tips listed after the settings tables.

Remove any accessories that are not being used from the cooking compartment. This will allow you to achieve optimal cooking results while saving energy.

Hot air gentle heating function

Hot air gentle is an intelligent heating function that allows you to gently cook meat, fish and baked items. The appliance optimally controls the supply of energy to the cooking compartment. The food is cooked in phases using residual heat. This means that it remains more succulent and browns less. Depending on the

method of preparation and the type of food, it is possible to save energy. If you open the appliance door before the food has finished cooking or if you preheat the appliance, you may not be able to achieve this result.

Only use genuine accessories for your appliance. These have been tailored to the cooking compartment and the heating functions of your appliance. Remove any accessories that are not being used from the cooking compartment.

Place the food into the empty cooking compartment before the oven is heated up. Select a temperature of between 120 °C and 230 °C. Always keep the appliance door closed when cooking. Only cook on one level when using this function.

The Hot air gentle heating function is used to measure both the energy consumption in air recirculation mode and the energy efficiency class.

Baking on one level

When baking on one level, use the following shelf positions:

■ Position 2 – tall baked items and tins/dishes on the wire rack
■ Position 3 – shallow baked items and baking trays

Baking on two or more levels

Use the hot air heating function. Items that are placed in the oven on baking trays or in baking tins/dishes at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.

Baking on two levels:

■ Universal pan, position 3 Baking tray, position 1
■ Baking tins/dishes on the wire rack First wire rack, position 3 Second wire rack, position 1

Baking on three levels:

■ Baking tray, position 5 Universal pan, position 3 Baking tray, position 1

You can cut energy use by cooking different items at the same time. Position baking tins/dishes either next to one another or offset on different shelves so that they are not directly one above the other in the cooking compartment.

Accessories

Only use original accessories supplied with your appliance. These have been tailored to the cooking

compartment and the operating modes of your appliance.

Ensure that you always use suitable accessories and that they are placed in the oven the right way around. → "Accessories" on page 15

Greaseproof paper

Only use greaseproof paper that is suitable for the selected temperature. Always cut greaseproof paper to size.

Cakes and pastries

Your appliance offers you a range of heating types for the preparation of cakes and small baked items. You can find the ideal settings for many dishes in the settings tables.

Also refer to the notes in the section on allowing dough to rise.

Baking tins

For optimal cooking results, we recommend using dark-coloured metal baking tins.

Tinplate baking tins, ceramic dishes and glass dishes extend baking time and mean that the baked item will not brown evenly.

If you are using silicone moulds, follow the manufacturer's instructions and recipes. Silicone moulds are often smaller than normal baking tins. Quantity and recipe specifications may vary.

Frozen products

Do not use frozen products that are heavily frosted. Remove any ice on the food.

Some frozen products may be unevenly pre-baked. Uneven browning may remain even after baking.

Bread and rolls

Caution!

Never pour water into the hot cooking compartment or place cookware containing water onto the bottom of the cooking compartment. The change in temperature can cause damage to the enamel.

Some food turns out better if it is baked in several stages. These dishes are indicated in the table.

The setting values for bread dough apply to both dough placed on a baking tray and dough placed in a loaf tin.

Baking tips

You want to find out whether the baked item is completely cooked in the middle.	Push a cocktail stick into the highest point on the baked item. If the cocktail stick comes out clean with no dough residue, the baked item is ready.
The baked item collapses.	Next time, use less liquid. Alternatively, set the temperature 10 °C lower and extend the baking time. Adhere to the specified ingredients and preparation instructions in the recipe.
The baked item has risen in the mid- dle but is lower around the edge.	Only grease the base of the springform cake tin. After baking, loosen the baked item carefully with a knife.
The fruit juice overflows.	Next time, use the universal pan.
Small baked items stick to one another during baking.	There should be a gap of approx. 2 cm around each item. This gives enough space for the baked items to expand well and brown on all sides.
The baked item is too dry.	Set the temperature 10 °C higher and shorten the baking time.
The baked item is too light in colour overall.	If the shelf position and the accessories are correct, then you should increase the temperature if necessary or extend the baking time.
The baked item is too light on top, and too dark underneath.	Bake the cake one level higher in the oven the next time.
The baked item is too dark on top, and too light underneath.	Bake the cake one level lower in the oven the next time. Select a lower temperature and extend the baking time.
The baked item is too dark in a tin or loaf tin.	Place the baking tray in the middle of the accessory, not directly against the back wall.
The baked item is too dark in colour overall.	Select a lower temperature next time and extend the baking time if necessary.
The baked item is unevenly browned.	Select a slightly lower temperature.Protruding greaseproof paper can affect the air circulation. Always cut greaseproof paper to size.Ensure that the baking tin does not stand directly in front of the openings in the cooking compartment back wall.When baking small items, you should use similar sizes and thicknesses wherever possible.
You were baking on several levels.The items on the top baking tray are darker than those on the lower baking tray.	Always select hot air when baking on several levels. Baked items that are placed into the oven on trays or in baking tins at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.
The baked item looks good, but is not cooked properly in the middle.	Use a lower temperature and bake slightly longer; if necessary, add slightly less liquid. For baked items with a moist topping, bake the base first. Sprinkle it with almonds or breadcrumbs and then place the topping on top.
The baked item cannot be turned out of the dish when it is turned upside down.	Allow the baked item to cool down for 5 to 10 minutes after baking. If it still sticks, carefully loosen it around the edges again using a knife. Turn the baked item upside down again and cover it several times with a cold, wet cloth. Next time, grease the baking tin and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.

Bakes and gratins

Your appliance offers a range of heating functions for cooking bakes. The settings tables list the optimal settings for a wide range of dishes.

How well cooked a bake is will depend on the size of the cookware and the shelf position of the bake.

Use wide, shallow cookware for bakes and gratins. Food takes longer to cook in deep, narrow cookware and it browns more on top.

Always use the shelf positions indicated.

You can cook food on one level in baking tins/dishes or in the universal pan.

■ Baking tins/dishes on the wire rack: Position 2
■ Universal pan, position 3

You can cut energy use by cooking different items at the same time. Position baking tins/dishes next to one another in the cooking compartment.

Poultry, meat and fish

Your appliance offers you a range of heating types for preparing poultry, meat and fish. You can find the ideal settings for certain dishes in the settings tables.

Roasting on the wire rack

Roasting on the wire rack works particularly well for large poultry or for multiple pieces at the same time.

Place the food to be grilled directly onto the wire rack. If you are grilling a single piece, place it in the centre of the wire rack for best results.

The universal pan should also be inserted at position 1. This will catch the meat juices that drip down and keeps the cooking compartment clean.

Add up to 1/2 litre of water to the universal pan, depending on the size and type of joint. This will catch the liquid that drips down. You can make a sauce from these juices. This will also result in less smoke being produced and keep the cooking compartment clean.

Roasting in cookware

⚠ Warning – Risk of injury caused by shattering glass!

Place hot glass cookware on a dry mat after cooking. If the surface is damp or cold, the glass may crack.

⚠ Warning – Risk of scalding!

Very hot steam may escape when opening the lid after cooking. Lift the lid at the rear, so that the hot steam can escape away from you.

Only use cookware which is suitable for use in an oven. Glass cookware is best. Check whether the cookware fits in the cooking compartment.

Shiny roasting dishes made from stainless steel or aluminium reflect heat like a mirror and are therefore not particularly suitable. The poultry, meat and fish cooks slower and does not brown so well. Use a higher temperature and/or a longer cooking time.

Observe the manufacturer's instructions for your roasting cookware.

Uncovered cookware

To cook poultry, meat and fish, it is best to use a deep roasting tin. Place the tin onto the wire rack. If you do not have any suitable cookware, use the universal pan.

Covered cookware

When cooking with covered cookware, the cooking compartment remains considerably cleaner. Ensure that the lid fits well and closes properly. Place the cookware onto the wire rack.

Poultry, meat and fish can also become crispy in a covered roasting dish. Simply use a roasting dish with a glass lid and set a higher temperature.

Grilling

Keep the appliance door closed when using the grill. Never grill with the appliance door open.

Place the food to be grilled on the wire rack. In addition, slide the universal pan in at least one shelf position lower, with the slanted edge facing the appliance door. Any dripping fat will be caught.

When grilling, try wherever possible to use pieces of food which are of a similar thickness and weight. This will allow them to brown evenly and remain succulent and juicy. Place the food to be grilled directly onto the wire rack.

Use tongs to turn the pieces of food you are grilling. If you pierce the meat with a fork, the juices will run out and it will become dry.

Do not add salt to the meat until it has been grilled. Salt draws water from the meat.

Notes

■ The grill element switches itself on and off repeatedly; this is normal. The grill setting determines how frequently this occurs.
■ Smoke may be produced when grilling.
- When you are using the grill, do not insert the baking tray or universal pan into the cooking compartment any higher than shelf position 3. The high temperatures at the top of the cooking compartment can warp accessories, which may damage the cooking compartment when removed.

Meat thermometer

Depending on your appliance's features, you may have a meat thermometer. You can cook accurately using a meat thermometer. Read important notes on using the meat thermometer in the corresponding chapter. There, you can find notes on inserting the meat thermometer, the possible heating types and additional information.

Recommended setting values

The setting values are based on the assumption that unstuffed, chilled, ready-to-roast poultry, meat or fish is placed into a cold cooking compartment.

In the table, you can find specifications for poultry, meat and fish with default values for the weight. If you wish to prepare heavier poultry, meat or fish, always use the lower temperature. If roasting several joints, use the weight of the heaviest piece as a basis for determining the cooking time. The individual pieces should be approximately equal in size.

The larger the poultry, meat or fish is, the lower the cooking temperature and the longer the cooking time.

Turn the poultry, meat and fish after approx. 1/2 to 2/3 of the indicated time.

Poultry

When cooking duck or goose, pierce the skin on the underside of the wings. This allows the fat to run out. If using duck breast, score the skin. Do not turn duck breasts.

Add some liquid to the poultry in the dish. Cover the base of the ovenware with approx. 1-2 cm of liquid.

When you turn poultry, ensure that the breast side or the skin side is underneath at first.

Poultry will turn out particularly crispy and brown if you baste it towards the end of the roasting time with butter, salted water or orange juice.

Meat

Baste lean meat with fat as required or cover it with strips of bacon.

When roasting, add a little liquid if the meat is lean. A covering of approx. 1/2 cm depth should be applied to the base of any glass cookware.

Score the rind crosswise. If you turn the joint when cooking, ensure that the rind is underneath at first.

When the joint is ready, turn off the oven and allow it to rest for another 10 minutes in the cooking compartment. This allows the meat juices to be better distributed. Wrap the joint in aluminium foil if necessary. The recommended resting time is not included in the cooking time indicated.

It is more convenient to roast and braise meat in cookware. You can take the joint out of the cooking compartment more easily in the cookware, and prepare the sauce in the cookware itself.

The quantity of liquid is dependent on the type of meat, the cookware material and also on whether or not a lid is used. If preparing meat in an enamelled or dark metal roasting dish, it will need a little more liquid than if cooked in glass cookware.

The steam evaporates in the cookware when roasting. Carefully pour in more liquid if required.

The distance between the meat and the lid should be at least 3 cm. The meat may rise.

If necessary, braise the meat first by searing it. Add water, wine, vinegar or a similar liquid to the braising liquid. A covering approx. 1-2 cm deep should be applied to the base of the cookware.

Fish

Fish cooked whole does not have to be turned. Place the whole fish into the cooking compartment in swimming position with the dorsal fin facing upwards. Placing half a potato or a small oven-proof container in the stomach cavity of the fish will provide stability.

You can tell when the fish is cooked because the dorsal fin can be removed easily.

When stewing, add two to three tablespoons of liquid and a little lemon juice or vinegar into the cookware.

Tips on roasting and braising

The cooking compartment becomes very dirty.	Prepare your food in an enclosed roasting dish with higher temperature or use the grill tray. You will achieve the best roasting results if you use the grill tray. The grill tray can be bought later as a special accessory.
The roast is too dark and the crack-ling is burned in places, and/or the roast is too dry.	Check the shelf position and temperature. Select a lower temperature the next time and reduce the roasting time if necessary.
The crackling is too thin.	Increase the temperature or switch on the grill briefly at the end of the roasting time.
The roast looks good but the juices are burnt.	Next time, use a smaller roasting dish and add more liquid if necessary.
The roast looks good but the juices are too clear and watery.	Next time, use a larger roasting dish and add less liquid if necessary.
The meat gets burned during brais-ing.	The roasting dish and lid must fit together well and close properly.Reduce the temperature and add more liquid when braising if necessary.

Yoghurt

You can use your appliance to make your own yoghurt.

Remove accessories and shelf supports from the cooking compartment. The cooking compartment must be empty.

1. Heat 1 litre of milk (3.5% fat) to 90 °C on the hob and then leave it to cool down to 40 °C.

It is sufficient to heat UHT milk to 40 °C.

1. Stir in 30 g (approx. 1 tbsp) (chilled) yoghurt.

2. Pour into cups or small jars with lids and cover.

3. Place the cups or jars onto the cooking compartment floor and use the settings indicated in the table.

4. After making the yoghurt, leave it to cool in the refrigerator.

Acrylamide in foodstuffs

Acrylamide is mainly produced in grain and potato products prepared at high temperatures, such as potato

crisps, chips, sliced bread, bread rolls, bread or fine baked goods (biscuits, gingerbread, spiced biscuit).

Tips for keeping acrylamide to a minimum
General■ Keep cooking times as short as possible.■ Cook food until it is golden brown, but not too dark.■ Large, thick pieces of food contain less acrylamide.
Baking	With top/bottom heating at max. 200 °C.With hot air at max. 180 °C.
Biscuits With top/bottom heating at max. 190 °C.	With hot air at max. 170 °C.Egg or egg yolk reduces the production of acrylamide.
Oven chips	Spread out a single layer evenly on the baking tray. Cook approx. 400-600 g at once on a baking tray so that the chips do not dry out and become crunchy.

Drying

You can achieve outstanding drying results with hot air. With this type of preserving, flavours are concentrated as a result of the dehydration.

Only use unblemished, fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs and wash them thoroughly. Line the wire rack with greaseproof paper or parchment paper. Drain the excess water from the fruit and then dry the fruit thoroughly.

If necessary, cut it into pieces of equal size or slice it thinly. Place unpeeled fruit onto the dish with the sliced surfaces facing upwards. Ensure that neither fruit nor mushrooms overlap on the wire rack.

Grate vegetables and then blanch them. Drain the excess water from the blanched vegetables and spread them evenly on the wire rack.

Dry herbs on the stem. Spread the herbs out evenly and slightly heaped on the wire rack.

Use the following shelf positions for drying:

■ 1 wire rack: Position 3
■ 2 wire racks: Positions 3 + 1

Turn very juicy fruit and vegetables several times. After drying, remove the dried food from the paper immediately.

In the table, you will find settings for drying various foodstuffs. The temperature and drying time are dependent on the type, moisture, ripeness and thickness of the food. The longer you leave the food to be dried, the better it will be preserved. The more thinly you slice the food, the more quickly it will dry and the more flavour it will retain. For this reason, the table specifies setting ranges.

If you wish to dry food that is not listed in the table, you should use the settings listed in the table for similar food as reference.

Fruit, vegetables and herbs Accessories Heating	function	Temperature in °C	Cooking time in hours
Pomes (apple rings, 3 mm thick, 200 g per wire rack) 1-2 wire racks		80 4-8
Root vegetables (carrots), grated, blanched 1-2 wire racks		80 4-7
Sliced mushrooms 1-2 wire racks		80 5-8
Herbs, washed 1-2 wire racks		60 2-5

Preserving

For preserving, the jars and rubber seals must be clean and intact. If possible, use jars of the same size. The information in the table is for round, one-litre jars.

Caution!

Do not use jars that are larger or taller than this. The lids could crack.

Only use fruit and vegetables in good condition. Wash them thoroughly.

The times given in the tables are a guide only. The time will depend on the room temperature, number of jars, and the quantity and temperature of the contents. Before you switch off the appliance or change the cooking mode, check whether the contents of the jars are bubbling as they should.

Preparation

1. Fill the jars, but not to the top.
2. Wipe the rims of the jars, as they must be clean.

3. Place a damp rubber seal and a lid on each jar.

4. Seal the jars with the clips.

Place no more than six jars in the cooking compartment.

Settings

1. Insert the universal pan at level 2. Arrange the preserving jars so that they do not touch each other.
2. Pour 1/2 litre of water (approx. 80 °C) into the universal pan.
3. Close the oven door.
4. Set Bottom heat☐.
5. Set the temperature to 170 - 180 °C.

Preserving

Fruit

After approx. 40 to 50 minutes, small bubbles begin to form at short intervals. Switch off the oven.

After 25 to 35 minutes of residual heat, remove the preserving jars from the cooking compartment. If they are allowed to cool for longer in the cooking compartment, germs could multiply, promoting acidification of the preserved fruit.

Fruit in one-litre jars When it starts to bubble Residual heat

Apples, redcurrants, strawberries Switch off approx. 25 minutes

Cherries, apricots, peaches, gooseberries Switch off approx. 30 minutes

Apple purée, pears, plums Switch off approx. 35 minutes

Vegetables

As soon as bubbles begin to form in the jars, set the temperature back to between 120 and 140 °C.

Depending on the type of vegetable, heat for approx. 35 to 70 minutes. Switch off the oven after this time and use the residual heat.

Vegetables with cold cooking water in one-litre jars When it starts to bubble Residual heat

Gherkins	-	approx. 35 minutes
Beetroot	approx. 35 minutes	approx. 30 minutes
Brussels sprouts	approx. 45 minutes	approx. 30 minutes
Beans, kohlrabi, red cabbage	approx. 60 minutes	approx. 30 minutes
Peas	approx. 70 minutes	approx. 30 minutes

Taking out the jars

After preserving, remove the jars from the cooking compartment.

Caution!

Do not place the hot jars on a cold or wet surface. They could suddenly burst.

Prove dough

Your yeast dough will prove considerably more quickly using this heating function than at room temperature and will not dry out. Do not start the appliance if the cooking compartment is not completely cool.

Always allow yeast dough to prove twice. Use the settings indicated in the settings tables for the first and second proving stages (dough fermentation stage and final fermentation stage).

Dough fermentation

Place the dough into a heat-resistant bowl and place this onto the wire rack. Use the settings indicated in the table.

Do not open the appliance door while the dough is proving, otherwise moisture will escape. Do not cover the dough.

Condensation builds up during the proving process, which steams up the door panel. Wipe out the cooking compartment after dough proving. Remove any limescale with a little vinegar and wipe with clean water.

Final fermentation

Place your dough into the oven at the shelf position indicated in the table.

If you want to preheat the oven, the final fermentation stage takes place outside the appliance in a warm place.

The temperature and proving time are dependent on the type and quantity of the ingredients. For this reason, the values indicated in the settings table are intended as a guide only.

Defrosting

For defrosting frozen fruit, vegetables and baked items. Poultry, meat and fish should ideally be defrosted in the refrigerator. Not suitable for cream cakes or cream gateaux.

Use the following shelf positions when defrosting:

■ 1 wire rack: Position 2

■ 2 wire racks: Positions 3 + 1

Tip: Food that has been frozen flat or in portions defrosts more quickly than food items frozen in a block.

Remove frozen food from its packaging and place it onto the wire rack in suitable cookware.

Redistribute the food or turn it once or twice as it defrosts. Large pieces of food should be turned several times. As the food defrosts, break up any clumps and remove items that have already defrosted from the appliance.

To allow the temperature to equalise, leave the defrosted food to rest for another 10 to 30 minutes in the appliance after switching it off.

Frozen food Accessories Position Heating		function	Temperature
