■ Damage can occur if hard or pointed objects fall on the hob.
■ Aluminium foil and plastic containers melt on hot hotplates. Oven protective foil is not suitable for your hob.

Overview

The following table provides an overview of the most frequent kinds of damage:

Damage Cause Action

Stains Food spills Remove spills immediately with a glass scraper.
	Unsuitable cleaning agents Only use cleaning agents which are suitable for ceramic
Scratches Salt, sugar and sand Do not use the hob as a work surface or storage space.
	Rough pot and pan bases scratch the ceramic.	Check your cookware.
Discolouration	Unsuitable cleaning agents	Only use cleaning agents which are suitable for ceramic
	Pan abrasion (e.g. aluminium) Lift the pots and pans when moving them.
Blisters	Sugar, food with a high sugar content	Remove spills immediately with a glass scraper.

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 16
■ 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.

■ 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 hob

■ Use pots and pans with thick, even bases. Uneven bases increase energy consumption.
The diameter of pan bases should be the same size as the hotplate. In particular, small saucepans on the hotplate cause energy losses. Note that cookware manufacturers often indicate the upper diameter of the saucepan. This is usually bigger than the diameter of the base of the pan.
■ Use a small saucepan for small quantities. A larger, less full saucepan requires a lot of energy.
■ Always place suitable lids on saucepans. When cooking without a lid, four times the energy is required.
■ Cook with only a little water. This will save energy. Vitamins and minerals in vegetables are preserved.
■ Switch to a lower heat setting in good time.
■ Use the residual heat. For longer cooking times, you can switch the hotplate off 5-10 minutes before the end of the cooking time.

Environmentally-friendly disposal

Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.

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.

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.

Rails

With good care and cleaning, your appliance will retain its appearance and remain fully functional for a long time to come. This will tell you how to remove the shelves and clean them.

Detaching and refitting the rails

The rails can be removed for cleaning. The oven must have cooled down.

Unhooking the rails

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.

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

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 12

Greaseproof paper

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

Cakes and pastries

The tables show the ideal type of heating for various different cakes, pastries and small baked items. The temperature and the baking time depend on the amount of batter of its consistency. That is why temperature ranges are given in the tables.

Also refer to the information in the section on proving dough.

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 cake is completely cooked in the middle.	Push a cocktail stick into the highest point on the cake. If the cocktail stick comes out clean with no cake mix-ture on it, the cake is ready.
The cake collapses.	Next time use less liquid. Alternatively, set the temperature 10 °C lower and extend the baking time. Use the ingredients and preparation instructions given in the recipe.
The cake has risen in the middle but is lower around the edges.	Only grease the base of the springform cake tin. After baking, loosen the cake carefully with a knife.
The fruit juice overflows.	Next time, use the universal pan.
Small baked items stick to one another when they are baked.	Leave a gap of approx. 2 cm between each baked item. This allows enough space for the baked items to expand well and brown on all sides.
The cake is too dry. Set the temperature 10 °C higher and shorten the baking time.
The cake is too light in colour.	If the shelf position and the accessory are correct, then you should increase the temperature if necessary or extend the baking time.
The cake is too light on top and too dark underneath.	Bake the cake one level higher in the oven next time.
The cake is too dark on top and too light underneath.	Bake the cake one level lower in the oven next time. Select a lower temperature and extend the baking time.
The back of a cake baked in a tin or loaf tin is too dark.	Place the baking tray in the middle of the accessory, not directly against the back panel of the oven.
The cake is very dark.	Next time, select a lower temperature and extend the baking time if necessary.
The cake is unevenly browned. Select a slightly lower temperature.Excess greaseproof paper can affect the air circulation. Always cut greaseproof paper to size.Ensure that the baking tin is not standing directly in front of the openings in the cooking compartment back panel.Small baked items should be of roughly equal size and thickness.
The cake looks good but is not cooked properly in the middle.	Select a lower temperature and extend the baking time. Add less liquid if necessary. For cakes with a moist topping, bake the base first. Sprinkle it with almonds or breadcrumbs and then place the topping on top.
The cake will not come out of the tin when turned upside down.	Allow the cake to cool down for 5 to 10 minutes after baking. If it still sticks, carefully loosen the cake around the edges using a knife. Turn the cake tin upside down again and cover it with a cold, wet cloth. Next time, grease the 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 12 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. 12 to 23 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. 12 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.

Vegetables and side dishes

Acrylamide in foodstuffs

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

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

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.

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 12 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.
