When placing the accessories in the oven, check that the indentation is at the back. They can only lock correctly in place in this position.

Cooking compartment

The oven light is located in the cooking compartment. A cooling fan protects the oven from overheating.

Oven light

During oven operation, the oven light is on. By turning the function selector to any position, the oven light can also be switched on without the oven heating up.

Cooling fan

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

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

Caution!

Do not cover the ventilation slots. Otherwise the oven will overheat.

Note: Heat may cause the accessories to deform. As soon as the accessories cool down, they regain their original shape. Their function is not impaired.

Hold the baking tray securely on the sides with both hands and push it parallel into the frame. Avoid movements to the right or left when pushing the baking tray in. Otherwise, it will be difficult to push the tray in and the enamelled surfaces could be damaged.

Care and cleaning

With good care and cleaning, your oven will remain clean and fully-functioning for a long time to come. Here we will explain how to maintain and clean your oven correctly.

Notes

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

Cleaning agents

Damage to the various different surfaces caused by using the wrong cleaning agent can be avoided by observing the following instructions.

When cleaning the oven do not use

■ sharp or abrasive cleaning agents, ■ cleaning agent with a high alcohol content, ■ scouring pads, ■ high-pressure cleaners or steam jets. ■ Do not clean individual parts in the dishwasher.

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 oven door as infrequently as possible while you are cooking, baking or roasting. It is best to bake several cakes one after the other. The oven is still warm. This reduces the baking time for the second cake. You can also place two loaf tins next to each other. 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 is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic equipment - WEEE). The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.

Measures to be noted during transport

Secure all mobile parts in and on the appliance using an adhesive tape that can be removed without leaving any traces. Push all accessories (e.g. baking tray) into the corresponding slots with cardboard at the edges, in order to avoid damaging the appliance. Place cardboard or similar between the front and rear side to prevent knocks against the inside of the door glass. Secure the oven door to the side walls of the appliance using adhesive tape.

Keep the original appliance packaging. Only transport the appliance in the original packaging. Observe the transport arrows on the packaging.

If the original packaging is no longer available

pack the appliance in protective packaging to guarantee sufficient protection against any transport damage.

Transport the appliance in an upright position. Do not hold the appliance by the door handle or the connections on the rear, as these could be damaged. Do not place any heavy objects on the appliance.

Tested for you in our cooking studio

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

Notes

■ The values in the table always apply to dishes placed into the cooking compartment when it is cold and empty. Only preheat the appliance if the table specifies that you should do so. Do not line the accessories with greaseproof paper until after they have been preheated. ■ The times specified in the tables are guidelines only. They will depend on the quality and composition of the food. ■ Use the accessories supplied. Additional accessories may be obtained as special accessories from specialist retailers or from the after-sales service. Before using the oven, remove any unnecessary accessories and ovenware from the cooking compartment. ■ Always use oven gloves when taking hot accessories or ovenware out of the cooking compartment.

Cakes and pastries

Baking on one level

When baking with ⚙️ 3D hot air, use the following shelf heights for the accessory:

■ Cakes in tins: level 2

■ Cakes on trays: level 3

Baking and roasting on two or more levels

Use 3D hot air.

Shelf positions for baking and roasting on 2 levels:

■ Universal pan: Shelf position 3

■ Baking tray: Shelf position 1

Dishes that are put in the oven at the same time do not have to be ready at the same time.

The tables contain a selection of dishes.

Baking tins

It is best to use dark-coloured metal baking tins.

Baking times are increased when light-coloured baking tins made of thin metal or glass dishes are used, and cakes do not brown so evenly.

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.

Tables

The tables show the ideal type of heating for the various cakes and pastries. The temperature and baking time depend on the amount and composition of the mixture. This is why temperature ranges are given in the tables. You should try the lower temperature first, since a lower temperature results in more even browning. You can increase the temperature next time if necessary.

If you preheat the oven, the baking time is shortened by 5 to 10 minutes.

Additional information can be found in the Baking tips section following the tables.

Note: Do not place food directly onto the aluminium baking tray. Line the aluminium baking tray with greaseproof paper.

Baking tips

You wish to bake according to your own recipe.	Use similar items in the baking tables as a guide.
How to establish whether sponge cake is baked through.	Approximately 10 minutes before the end of the baking time specified in the recipe, stick a cocktail stick into the cake at the highest point. If the cocktail stick comes out clean, the cake is ready.
The cake collapses.	Use less fluid next time or set the oven temperature 10 degrees lower. Observe the specified mixing times in the recipe.
The cake has risen in the middle but is lower around the edge.	Do not grease the sides of the springform cake tin. After baking, loosen the cake carefully with a knife.
The cake goes too dark on top.	Place it lower in the oven, select a lower temperature and bake the cake for a little longer.
The cake is too dry.	When it is done, make small holes in the cake using a cocktail stick. Then drizzle fruit juice or an alcoholic beverage over it. Next time, select a temperature 10 degrees higher and reduce the baking time.
The bread or cake (e.g. cheesecake) looks good, but is soggy on the inside (sticky, streaked with water).	Use slightly less fluid next time and bake for slightly longer at a lower temperature. For cakes with a moist topping, bake the base first. Sprinkle it with almonds or bread crumbs and then place the topping on top. Please follow the recipe and baking times.
The cake is unevenly browned. Select a slightly lower temperature to ensure that the cake is baked more evenly. Pro-truding greaseproof paper can affect the air circulation. For this reason, always cut greaseproof paper to fit the baking tray.
The bottom of a fruit cake is too light. Place the cake one level lower the next time.
The fruit juice overflows. Next time, use the deeper universal pan, if you have one.
Small baked items made out of yeast dough stick to one another when 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 turn brown on all sides.
You were baking on several levels. The items on the top baking tray are darker than that on the bottom baking tray.	Always use 3D hot air to bake on more than one level. Baking trays that are placed in the oven at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.
Condensation forms when you bake moist cakes.	Baking may result in the formation of water vapour, which escapes above the door. The steam may settle and form water droplets on the control panel or on the fronts of adjacent units. This is a natural process.

Meat, poultry, fish

Ovenware

You may use any heat-resistant ovenware. The universal pan is suitable for large roasts.

Glass ovenware is the most suitable. Ensure that the lid of the roasting dish fits well and closes properly.

Add a little more liquid when using enamelled roasting dishes.

With roasting dishes made of stainless steel, browning is not so intense and the meat may be somewhat less well cooked. Increase the cooking times.

Information in the tables:

Ovenware without a lid = open

Ovenware with a lid = closed

Always place the ovenware in the centre of the wire rack.

Place hot glass ovenware on a dry mat after cooking. The glass could crack if placed on a cold or wet surface.

Roasting

The roasting result depends on the type and quality of meat.

Add 2 to 3 soup spoons of liquid to lean meat, and 8 to 10 soup spoons of liquid to pot roasts, depending on the size.

Meat should be turned half way through the cooking time.

When the roast is ready, switch off the oven and leave the roast to stand for 10 minutes with the oven door closed. This allows the meat juices to distribute more favourably.

Grilling

Always close the oven door when grilling.

If possible, use pieces of meat which are of the same thickness. They should be at least 2 to 3 cm thick. Such pieces will be browned evenly and stay juicy and soft in the middle. Only salt the steaks after they have been grilled.

Place the pieces of meat directly onto the wire grill. If you are grilling just one piece of meat, it will turn out best if you place it in the centre of the wire grill. You should also insert the universal pan at level 1. The meat juices are collected here and the oven is kept clean.

Turn the pieces of meat and poultry after half of the cooking time indicated but turkey has to be placed breast side up and not to be turned!.

The grill element automatically switches itself off and back on again. This is normal. The number of times this happens depends on the grill setting you have selected.

Tips for roasting and grilling

The table does not contain information for the weight of the joint.	Select the next lowest weight from the instructions and extend the time.
How to tell when the roast is ready.	Use a meat thermometer (available from specialist shops) or carry out a “spoon test”. Press down on the roast with a spoon. If it feels firm, it is ready. If the spoon can be pressed in, it needs to be cooked for a little longer.
The roast is too dark and the crackling is partly burnt.	Check the shelf height and temperature.
The roast looks good but the juices are burnt.	Next time, use a smaller roasting dish or add more liquid.
The roast looks good but the juices are too clear and watery.	Next time, use a larger roasting dish and use less liquid.
Steam rises from the roast when basted.	This is normal and due to the laws of physics. The majority of the steam escapes through the steam outlet. It may settle and form condensation on the cooler switch panel or on the fronts of adjacent units.

Special dishes

At low temperatures, 3D hot air is equally useful for producing creamy yoghurt as it is for proving light yeast dough. First, remove accessories, hook-in racks or telescopic shelves from the cooking compartment.

Preparing yoghurt

1. Bring 1 litre of milk (3.5 % fat) to the boil and cool down to 40 °C.
2. Stir in 150 g of yoghurt (at refrigerator temperature).
3. Pour into cups or small screw-top jars and cover with cling film.
4. Preheat the cooking compartment as indicated.
5. Place the cups or jars on the cooking compartment floor and incubate as indicated.

Proving dough

1. Prepare the dough as usual, place it in a heat-resistant ceramic dish and cover.
2. Preheat the cooking compartment as indicated.
3. Switch off the oven and place the dough in the cooking compartment and leave it to prove.

Dish	Ovenware		Type of heating	Temperature	Cooking time
Yoghurt	Cups or screw-top jars	on the cooking compartment floor		50 °C Preheat	5 mins
				50 °C	8 hrs
Proving dough	Heat-resistant dish	on the cooking compartment floor		50 °C Preheat	5-10 mins
				Switch off the appliance and place the yeast dough in the cooking compartment	20-30 mins

Defrosting

The defrosting time depends on the amount and type of food. Observe the instructions on the packaging.

Take food out of its packaging and place in suitable ovenware on the wire rack. Place poultry with the breast side to the plate.

Frozen food	Accessories	Level	Type of heating	Temperature
e.g. cream cakes, buttercream cakes, gateaux with chocolate or sugar icing, fruit, chicken, sausage and meat, bread and bread rolls, cakes and other baked items	Wire rack	2		The temperature selector remains switched off

Drying

With 3D hot air, you can dry foods brilliantly.

Use unblemished fruit and vegetables only and wash them thoroughly.

Drain off the excess water, then dry them.

Line the universal pan and the wire rack with greaseproof or parchment paper.

Turn very juicy fruit or vegetables several times.

Remove fruit and vegetables from the paper as soon as they have dried.

Fruit and herbs Accessories Level Type of	heating	Temperature Cooking time
600 g apple rings Universal pan + rack 3+1		80 °C 5 hrs (approx.)
800 g pear slices Universal pan + rack 3+1		80 °C 8 hrs (approx.)
1.5 kg damsons or plums Universal pan + rack 3+1		80 °C 8-10 hrs(approx.)
200 g herbs, washed Universal pan + rack 3+1		80 °C 1 1/2 hrs (approx.)

Acrylamide in foodstuffs

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

toast, bread rolls, bread or fine baked goods (biscuits, gingerbread, cookies).

Tips for keeping acrylamide to a minimum when preparing food

General	■ Keep cooking times to a minimum.■ Cook meals until they are golden brown, but not too dark.■ Large, thick pieces of food contain less acrylamide.
Baking With top/bottom heating max. 200 °C.
	With 3D hot air or hot air max.180 °C.
Biscuits With top/bottom heating max. 190 °C.
	With 3D hot air or hot air max. 170 °C.Egg or egg yolk reduces the production of acrylamide.
Oven chips	Spread evenly over the baking tray, in a single layer. Bake at least 400 g per baking tray so that the chips do not dry out
