Causes of damage

General information

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.
- Silicone bakeware: Do not use silicone moulds or reusable baking tray liners, covers or accessories that contain silicone. Otherwise, the baking sensor may be damaged. Greaseproof paper with a silicone coating can be used.
■ 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.
■ Oven cleaner: 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.
- 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.
■ 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.

Microwave

Caution!

■ Creation of sparks: Metal – e.g. a spoon in a glass – must be kept at least 2 cm from the cooking compartment walls and the inside of the door. Sparks can irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.
■ Combining accessories: Do not combine the wire rack with the universal pan. Sparks may be created if they are inserted directly on top of one another. Only insert them into their own shelf level.
Microwave only: The universal pan and baking tray are unsuitable when using the microwave only. If you use either of these, this may create sparks, which may damage the cooking compartment. Place cookware on the wire rack provided, or place it in the microwave and set a type of heating.
■ Foil containers: Do not use foil containers in the appliance. They damage the appliance by producing sparks.
- Operating the microwave without food: Operating the appliance without food in the cooking compartment may lead to overloading. Never switch on the microwave unless there is food inside. The short crockery test is the exception to this rule. → "Microwave" on page 20

Microwave

You can use the microwave to cook, heat up or defrost food quickly. The microwave can be used on its own, or in combination with a type of heating.

To ensure optimum use of the microwave, please observe the notes on cookware and familiarise yourself with the data in the application tables at the end of the instruction manual.

Cookware

Not all cookware is suitable for microwaves. To ensure that your food is heated and the appliance is not damaged, only use cookware that is suitable for microwaves.

Heat-resistant cookware made of glass, glass ceramic, porcelain or heat-resistant plastic is suitable. These materials allow microwaves to pass through. You can also use ceramic if it has been fully glazed and has no cracks.

You can also use serving dishes. This saves you having to transfer food from one dish to another. You should only use cookware with decorative gold or silver trim if the manufacturer guarantees that they are suitable for use in microwaves.

To bake in combined operation, you can use ordinary metal baking tins. This means that the cake is also browned from below.

Metal dishes are not suitable for other applications. Metal does not allow microwaves to pass through. Food in covered metal containers will remain cold.

Caution!

Creation of sparks: Metal (e.g. a spoon in a glass) must be kept at least 2 cm from the cooking compartment walls and the inside of the door. Sparks may irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.

Cookware test

Never switch on the microwave unless there is food inside. The short cookware test is the only exception to this rule.

Perform the following test if you are unsure whether your cookware is suitable for use in the microwave.

1. Heat the empty cookware at maximum power for 12 to 1 minute.
2. Check the temperature of the cookware during this time.
   The cookware should remain cold or warm to the touch.

The cookware is unsuitable if it becomes hot or sparks are generated.

In this case, stop the test.

Warning – Risk of burns!

The accessible parts become very hot when in operation. Never touch hot parts. Keep children at a safe distance.

Accessories included

Only the wire rack provided is suitable when using the microwave only. If you use the universal pan or the baking tray, this may create sparks, which may damage the cooking compartment.

When using the appliance in combination with the microwave or "Dishes" mode, you can use the universal pan, baking tray or any other accessories that have been included with the appliance.

When using the microwave, it is best to insert accessories at level 1, unless otherwise specified.

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.

Cleaning function

Use the "Pyrolytic self-cleaning" function to clean the cooking compartment.

Pyrolytic self-cleaning

Use the "Pyrolytic self-cleaning" function to clean the cooking compartment.

You can choose from three cleaning settings.

Setting	Cleaning level	Duration
1	Light	Approx. 1 hour, 15 minutes
2	Medium	Approx. 1 hour, 30 minutes
3	Intensive	Approx. 2 hours

The dirtier the cooking compartment and the longer the dirt has been there, the higher the cleaning setting should be. It is sufficient to clean the cooking compartment every two to three months. If required, you can clean the oven more frequently. A cleaning cycle requires only approx. 2.5 – 4.7 kilowatt hours.

Notes

For safety reasons, the appliance door locks automatically once a certain temperature is reached. It cannot be reopened until the ⏻ symbol for the locking mechanism on the display goes out.
■ The interior lighting does not come on during the cleaning function.

The appliance will become very hot on the outside during the cleaning function. Never touch the appliance door. Allow the appliance to cool down. Keep children away from the appliance.

Warning

Risk of harm to health!

The cleaning function heats up the cooking compartment to a very high temperature so that food remnants left over from roasting, grilling and baking will burn off. This process releases vapours, which can irritate the mucous membranes. While the cleaning function is running, keep the kitchen well ventilated. Do not remain in the room for long periods. Keep children and pets away. Follow the instructions even when using the Delayed start function with a delayed end time.

Before running the cleaning function

You can leave the shelf supports and pull-out rails in the cooking compartment when running the cleaning function so that they are cleaned at the same time. Before starting the cleaning function, remove the worst of the food remnants manually.

Remove accessories and cookware from the cooking compartment. Only by doing this will you ensure that you achieve good cleaning results throughout the entire cooking compartment.

Clean the inside of the appliance door and along the edges of the cooking compartment in the area around the seal. Do not scrub or remove the seal.

Dishes

You can use the "Assist" operating mode to prepare a wide variety of food. The appliance selects the optimal settings for you.

To achieve good results, the cooking compartment must not be too hot for the type of food you have selected. If it is, a message will appear on the display. Allow the cooking compartment to cool down and start again.

Information on the settings

The cooking result depends on the quality of the food and the size and type of cookware. For an optimal cooking result, use food that is in good condition and chilled meat only. For frozen food, use food straight out of the freezer only.
For some food, a temperature, heating mode and cooking time is suggested. The temperature and the cooking time can be changed according to your requirements.
For other dishes, you will be asked to enter the weight. Always enter the total weight unless the appliance asks for something different. The appliance will then apply the time and temperature settings for you. It is not possible to set weights outside of the intended weight range.
- When roasting dishes for which the appliance will apply the temperature selection for you, temperatures of up to 300 °C can be saved. Therefore, make sure that you use cookware that is sufficiently heat resistant.
Information is provided, e.g. on cookware, shelf position or the addition of liquid when cooking meat. Some food requires turning or stirring, etc., during cooking. This is shown in the display shortly after operation starts. An audible signal will remind you at the right time.
Information on the right kind of cookware to use and tips and tricks for the preparation can be found at the end of the instruction manual. "Tested for you in our cooking studio" on page 38

Microwave

For some food, the microwave is automatically activated. Using the microwave significantly reduces cooking time – cooking time is virtually cut in half. The appliance instructs you to use cookware that is suitable for the microwave. The "Microwave" section provides information on the type of cookware that is suitable.

→ "Microwave" on page 20

Meat thermometer

For some food, you can also use the meat thermometer. Once you have inserted the meat thermometer into the appliance, the food that is suitable for it will be displayed. You can change the interior temperature of the cooking compartment and the core temperature. → "Meat thermometer" on page 23

Baking sensor

Your appliance is equipped with a baking sensor. This sensor is automatically activated when you select a baked item from any of the following categories in the selection list. If the baking sensor has been activated, the □ symbol appears on the display.

Category	Food	Dishes
Cake, bread, pizza	Cake	Cakes in tins
		Cakes on trays
		Pies/tarts
	Small baked items	Puff pastry
		Muffins
		Leavened cake
	Bread/bread rolls	Bread rolls
		Bread
		Flatbread
	Savoury cakes, pizza, quiche	Savoury cakes, quiche
		Pizza
		Tarte flambée

The appliance now takes over. The appliance then regulates the baking process completely automatically – you do not need to implement any further settings. Once the food is cooked, the appliance will switch itself off automatically. An audible signal will then sound. The cooking time is roughly the same as that listed in the recipe for your baked item and is not displayed. The oven sensor can only be started from the oven when it is cool.

No other baked goods categories are monitored by the baking sensor. In this case, you will be offered a tried and tested setting with customisation options.

Dark-coloured metal baking tins are suitable. Do not use any silicone bakeware or accessories that contain silicone. Otherwise, the baking sensor will be damaged.

The baking sensor is active while "Do not open door" is shown on the display. Do not open the appliance door; otherwise, the settings will be cancelled. The appliance will continue to heat and you can adjust the suggested time. You must monitor the process yourself.

Applying settings for dishes

You will be guided through the entire setting process for your chosen food.

Use the rotary selector to scroll through the individual levels.

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 high difference in temperature between the appliance interior and the external parts of the appliance, condensation may build up on the door, control panel or adjacent kitchen cabinet panels. This is a normal physical phenomenon. Condensation can be reduced by preheating the oven or opening the door carefully.

Do not use silicone moulds

For best results, we recommend using dark-coloured metal bakeware.

Caution!

Do not use silicone moulds or reusable baking tray liners, covers or accessories that contain silicone. Otherwise, the baking sensor may be damaged. Even if the baking sensor is not being used, it may still be damaged.

Exceptions:

■ Greaseproof paper with a silicone coating can be used.
If the appliance comes with a meat probe, this can be used.

Cakes and small baked items

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.

Only use original accessories supplied with your appliance. These have been tailored to the cooking compartment and the operating modes of your appliance.

Baking in combination with a microwave

If you bake in combination with a microwave, you can reduce the cooking time considerably.

Always use heat-resistant cookware that is suitable for use in microwaves. Observe the notes on cookware suitable for microwaves. → "Microwave" on page 20

In combined operation, you can use conventional baking tins made from metal. If sparks form between the baking tin and the wire rack, check whether the baking tin is clean on the outside. Change the position of the baking tin on the wire rack. If this does not help, continue baking without the microwave. The baking time will be extended.

If you use baking tins/dishes made from plastic, ceramic or glass, the baking time indicated in the settings tables will be reduced. The cake will not brown as much underneath.

Baking in combination with a microwave is only possible on one level.

Shelf positions

Use the indicated shelf positions.

Baking on one level

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

Level 1

Baking on two levels

Use 4D hot air. Baked items that are placed into the oven on trays or in baking tins/dishes at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.

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

By preparing several dishes at the same time, you can make energy savings of up to 45 per cent. Position baking tins/dishes next to one another or offset and vertically stacked in the cooking compartment.

Accessories

Ensure that you always use suitable accessories and that they are placed in the oven the right way around.

Wire rack

Slide the wire rack in with the embossed "microwave" facing the appliance door, and the curved lip pointing downwards. Always place ovenware, tins and dishes on the wire rack.

Universal pan or baking tray

Slide the universal pan or the baking tray in carefully as far as the limit stop with the bevelled edge facing the appliance door.

When baking moist cakes or pastries with many toppings, use the universal pan so that any excess liquid does not overflow and make the cooking compartment dirty.

Baking tins

Dark- coloured metal baking tins are most suitable.

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

Greaseproof paper

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

Recommended setting values

The table lists the optimal heating type for various baked items. The temperature and baking time depend on the amount and consistency of the dough/mixture. For this reason, the table specifies setting ranges. Try using the lower values to start with. A lower temperature will result in more even browning. You can use a higher setting next time if necessary.

Note: Baking times cannot be reduced by using higher temperatures. Cakes or small baked items would only be cooked on the outside, and would not be fully baked in the middle.

The setting values apply to food that is placed into a cold cooking compartment; by doing this, you can make energy savings of up to 20 per cent. If you preheat the oven, you can reduce the indicated baking times by several minutes.

Preheating is necessary for selected food, and this is indicated in the table. Do not place your food or accessories into the cooking compartment until it has finished preheating.

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

Remove unused accessories from the cooking compartment. This will ensure that you achieve the best possible cooking results and energy savings of up to 20 per cent.

Tips on baking

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 dough residue, the cake is ready.
The cake collapses.	Next time, use less liquid. Alternatively, set the temperature to be 10 °C lower and extend the baking time. Adhere to the specified ingredients and preparation instructions in the recipe.
The cake has risen in the middle but is lower around the edge.	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 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 cake is too dry.	Set the temperature 10 °C higher and shorten the baking time.
The cake is generally too light in colour.	If the shelf position and the cookware 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 the next time.
The cake 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.
Cakes baked in a tray or tin are too brown at the back.	Place the baking tray in the middle of the accessories, not directly against the back wall.
The whole cake is too dark.	Select a lower temperature next time and extend the baking time if necessary.
The cake 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 4D hot air when baking on several levels. Baked items that are placed into the oven on trays or in baking tins/dishes at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.
The cake 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 cakes with a moist topping, bake the base first. Sprinkle it with almonds or breadcrumbs and then place the topping on top.
The cake cannot be turned out of the dish when it is 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 again using a knife. Turn the cake tin upside down again and cover it several times with a cold, wet cloth. Next time, grease the baking tin/dish and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.

Always use the indicated shelf positions.

You can prepare dishes on one level using a baking tin/dish or the universal pan.

■ Baking tins/dishes on the wire rack: Level 1

■ Universal pan: Level 2

You can also prepare soufflés in a water bath in the universal pan. To do so, slide the universal pan in at level 1.

By preparing several dishes at the same time, you can make energy savings of up to 45 per cent. Position baking tins/dishes next to one another in the cooking compartment.

Accessories

Ensure that you always use suitable accessories and that they are placed in the oven the right way around.

Wire rack

Slide the wire rack in with the embossed "microwave" facing the appliance door, and the curved lip pointing downwards. Always place ovenware, tins and dishes on the wire rack.

Universal pan

Slide in the universal pan carefully as far as the limit stop, with the bevelled edge facing the appliance door.

Cookware

Use wide, shallow cookware for bakes and gratins. In deep, narrow cookware, food requires more time to cook, and the top will be darker.

Recommended setting values

In the table, you can find the ideal heating type for various bakes and soufflés. The temperature and cooking time are dependent on the quantity of food and the recipe. How well cooked a bake is will depend on the size of the cookware and the depth of the bake. Settings ranges are indicated for this reason. Try using the lower values at first. A lower temperature results in more even browning. You can increase the temperature next time if necessary.

Note: Cooking times cannot be reduced by using higher temperatures. Bakes or soufflés would only be cooked on the outside, but would be raw in the middle.

The setting values apply to dishes placed into a cold cooking compartment. By doing so, you can make energy savings of up to 20 per cent. If you preheat the oven, the indicated cooking times will be reduced by several minutes.

If you wish to follow one of your own recipes when cooking, you can use similar dishes in the table as a reference.

Remove unused accessories from the cooking compartment. This will achieve the best possible cooking results and energy savings of up to 20 per cent.

Poultry

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

Roasting on the wire rack

Roasting on the wire rack is particularly well suited for larger poultry or for multiple pieces at the same time.

Slide the wire rack in at the indicated shelf position with the imprint "Microwave" facing the appliance door and the outer rail facing downwards. In addition, slide the universal pan in at the shelf position underneath with the slanted edge facing the appliance door.

Depending on the size and type of the poultry, pour up to 12 litres of water into the universal pan. Any dripping fat will be caught. You can make a sauce from these juices. This will also result in less smoke and ensure that the cooking compartment stays cleaner.

Roasting in cookware

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

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

Shiny roasting dishes made from stainless steel or aluminium reflect heat like a mirror and are therefore not particularly suitable. The poultry 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

It is best to use a deep roasting tin/dish for roasting poultry. Place the tin/dish 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.

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.

Poultry can also become crispy in a covered roasting dish. To do so, use a roasting dish with a glass lid and set a higher temperature.

Roasting in combination with a microwave

Poultry is particularly well suited to being prepared in combination with a microwave. The cooking time is considerably reduced by doing so.

As opposed to conventional operation, the cooking time is based on the total weight when roasting in combination with a microwave.

Tip: If you have quantities other than those indicated in the settings tables, the following basic rule applies: double the quantity equates to roughly double the cooking time.

Always use heat-resistant cookware that is suitable for use in microwaves. Roasting dishes made from metal or Römertopf dishes are only suitable for roasting without using the microwave. Observe the notes on cookware suitable for microwaves. → "Microwave" on page 20

Grilling

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

Slide the wire rack in at the indicated shelf position with the imprint "Microwave" facing the appliance door and the outer rail facing downwards. 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.

Notes

The grill element switches itself continuously on and off; this is normal. The grill setting determines how frequently this occurs.
■ Smoke may be produced when grilling.

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. → "Meat thermometer" on page 23

Recommended setting values

In the table, you can find the ideal heating type for the kind of poultry you are cooking. The temperature and cooking time depend on the amount, composition and temperature of the food. Setting ranges are indicated for this reason. Try using the lower values at first. You can increase the temperature next time if necessary.

The setting values are based on the assumption that unstuffed, chilled, ready-to-roast poultry is placed into a cold cooking compartment. By doing so, you can make energy savings of up to 20 per cent. If you preheat the oven, the indicated cooking times will be reduced by several minutes.

In the table, you can find specifications for poultry with default values for the weight. If you wish to cook heavier poultry, use the lower temperature in every case. If cooking multiple pieces, use the weight of the heaviest piece as a reference for determining the cooking time. The individual pieces should be approximately equal in size.

A general rule: the larger the poultry is, the lower the cooking temperature and the longer the cooking time.

Turn the poultry after approx. 12 to 23 of the indicated time.

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

Tips

For 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.
- 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.

Remove unused accessories from the cooking compartment. This will achieve the best possible cooking results and energy savings of up to 20 per cent.

Meat

Your appliance offers you many heating types for preparing meat. You can find the ideal settings for many dishes in the settings tables.

Roasting and braising

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

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 standing time is not included in the cooking time specified.

Roasting on the wire rack

On the wire rack, meat will become very crispy on all sides.

Depending on the size and type of the meat, add up to 12 litres of water to the universal pan. Any dripping fat and meat juices will be caught. You can prepare a

sauce using these meat juices. In addition, less smoke is generated, and the cooking compartment stays cleaner.

Slide the wire rack in at the indicated shelf position with the imprint "Microwave" facing the appliance door and the outer rail facing downwards. In addition, slide the universal pan in at the shelf position underneath with the slanted edge facing the appliance door.

Roasting and braising in cookware

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.

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

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

Add in a little liquid for roasting if the meat is lean. A covering of approx. 12 cm depth should be applied to the base of any glass cookware.

The amount 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.

Shiny roasting dishes made from stainless steel or aluminium reflect heat like a mirror and are therefore not particularly suitable. The meat cooks more slowly and will not brown so much. Use a higher temperature and/or a longer cooking time.

Observe the manufacturer's instructions for your roasting cookware.

Uncovered cookware

Use a deep roasting tin/dish for roasting meat. Place the tin/dish 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.

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

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.

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.

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

Meat can also become crispy in a covered roasting dish. To do so, use a roasting dish with a glass lid and set a higher temperature.

Roasting in combination with a microwave

Certain foodstuffs can be prepared in combination with a microwave. The cooking time is considerably reduced by doing so.

As opposed to conventional operation, the cooking time is based on the total weight when roasting in combination with a microwave.

Tip: If you have quantities other than those indicated in the settings tables, the following basic rule applies: double the quantity equates to roughly double the cooking time.

Always use heat-resistant cookware that is suitable for use in microwaves. Roasting dishes made from metal or Römertopf dishes are only suitable for roasting without using the microwave. Observe the notes on cookware suitable for microwaves. → "Microwave" on page 20

Caution!

If you use an oven bag, do not seal it shut with metal clips. Use kitchen string. Do not use metal skewers for roulades. Sparks may form as a result.

Grilling

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

Slide the wire rack in at the indicated shelf position with the imprint "Microwave" facing the appliance door and the outer rail facing downwards. 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 until after the meat has been grilled. Salt draws water from the meat.

Notes

The grill element switches itself continuously on and off; this is normal. The grill setting determines how frequently this occurs.

■ Smoke may be produced when grilling.

Meat thermometer

You can find information on roasts and default values for weights in the table. If you wish to roast a heavy joint of meat, you should definitely use a 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.

As a general rule: the larger a roasting joint is, the lower the cooking temperature and the longer the cooking time.

Turn roasting joints and grilled items after approx. 12 to 23 of the indicated time.

If you wish to follow one of your own recipes, you should use similar dishes as a reference. You can find additional information in the tips on roasting, braising and grilling attached to the settings table.

Tips on roasting and braising

The cooking compartment becomes very dirty.	Prepare your food in an enclosed roaster 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.
The roast is not well-done enough.	Carve the roast. Prepare the sauce in the roasting dish and add the sliced roast meat to the sauce. Finish cooking the meat using the microwave only.

Fish

Your appliance offers you a range of heating types for preparing fish. You can find the ideal settings for many dishes in the settings tables.

The whole fish 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.

Roasting and grilling on the wire rack

Slide the wire rack in at the indicated shelf position with the imprint "Microwave" facing the appliance door and the outer rail facing downwards. In addition, slide the universal pan in at least one shelf position lower, with the slanted edge facing the appliance door.

Pour up to 12 litres of water into the universal pan, depending on the size and type of the fish. Any dripping liquid will be caught. Less smoke is generated and the cooking compartment stays cleaner.

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

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 fish with a fork, the juices will run out and it will become dry.

Notes

■ Smoke may be produced when grilling.

Roasting and stewing in cookware

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

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

Shiny roasting dishes made from stainless steel or aluminium reflect heat like a mirror and are therefore not particularly suitable. The fish cooks more slowly and browns less. Use a higher temperature and/or a longer cooking time.

Observe the manufacturer's instructions for your roasting cookware.

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.

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

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.

Fish can also become crispy in a covered roasting dish. Here, use a roasting dish with a glass lid and set a higher temperature.

Steaming fish in the microwave

You can also steam fish in the microwave.

To do so, use enclosed cookware that is suitable for microwave use or use a plate or microwave film to cover the dish. Observe the notes on cookware suitable for microwaves. "Microwave" on page 20

This will help retain the flavour and means you can use salt and seasonings sparingly. If cooking fish whole, add one to three tablespoons of water or lemon juice.

After cooking, leave the fish to rest for another 2-3 minutes to compensate for the temperature difference.

Take ready-to-eat meals out of the packaging. You can cook more quickly and evenly using cookware which is suitable for use in microwaves.

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. → "Meat thermometer" on page 23

Vegetables and side dishes

Here, you can find information for preparing grilled vegetables, potatoes and frozen potato products.

Remove unused accessories from the cooking compartment. This will allow you to achieve ideal cooking results and save energy.

Preparing food in combination with a microwave

If you wish to cook in combination with a microwave, you should always use enclosed cookware which is suitable for use in microwaves. If you do not have a lid that fits your cookware, use a plate or microwave film for this purpose. Observe the notes on cookware suitable for microwaves.

Food which lies flat will cook more quickly than food which is piled high. Arrange the food as flat as possible in the cookware for this reason.

Cereal products foam a lot during cooking. For all cereal products, such as rice, use tall cookware with a lid.

This will help the food retain its flavour. This means that you can use salt and seasonings sparingly.

If you cannot find any indicated settings for your food quantity, you should extend or reduce the cooking time according to the following basic rule: double the quantity equates to roughly double the cooking time.

Stir or turn the food two to three times during this time. After heating up the food, leave it to rest for two to three minutes to compensate for the temperature difference.

The food transfers heat to the cookware. It can become very hot when only using a microwave for cooking.

Shelf positions

Use the indicated shelf positions.

Cooking on one level

Adhere to the specifications in the table.

Cooking on two levels

Use 4D hot air. Food on different baking trays placed in the oven at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.

■ Universal pan: Level 3

■ Baking tray: Level 1

Accessories

Ensure that you always use suitable accessories and that they are placed in the oven the right way around.

Wire rack

Slide the wire rack in with the embossed "microwave" facing the appliance door, and the curved lip pointing downwards. Always place ovenware, tins and dishes on the wire rack.

Universal pan or baking tray

Slide the universal pan or the baking tray in carefully as far as the limit stop with the bevelled edge facing the appliance door.

Greaseproof paper

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

Recommended setting values

In the table, you can find the ideal heating types for various dishes. The temperature and cooking time depend on the amount and composition of the food. Setting ranges are indicated for this reason. Try using the lower values at first. A lower temperature results in more even browning. You can use a higher setting next time if necessary.

The setting values apply to dishes placed into a cold cooking compartment. If you preheat the oven, the indicated cooking times will be reduced by several minutes.

If you wish to follow one of your own recipes when cooking, you can use similar dishes in the table as a reference.

If you place your cookware onto the wire rack, slide the wire rack in with the imprint "Microwave" facing the appliance door and the outer rail facing downwards.

Making yoghurt

Remove accessories and shelf supports from the cooking compartment. The cooking compartment must be empty. Do not open the appliance door while the appliance is in operation.

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.
2. Stir in 150 g (chilled) yoghurt.
3. Pour into cups or small jars and cover with cling film.
4. Place the cups or jars onto the cooking compartment floor and use the settings indicated in the table.
5. After making the yoghurt, leave it to cool in the refrigerator.

Custard made from custard powder

Mix custard powder with milk and sugar in a tall, microwave-suitable container according to the information on the packaging. Use the settings indicated in the table.

As soon as the milk starts to rise, stir thoroughly. Repeat this step two to three times.

Making rice pudding

1. Weigh the rice and add 4 times as much milk.
2. Pour the rice and milk into a tall container which is suitable for microwave use.
3. Use the settings indicated in the table.
4. As soon as the milk starts to rise, stir thoroughly and reduce the microwave power as indicated in the table.
   Stir several times whilst it continues to cook.

Compote

Weigh the fruit in a microwave-suitable container and add a tablespoon of water for every 100 g. Add sugar and spices according to taste. Cover the container and use the settings indicated in the table.

Stir two to three times during the cooking time.

Microwave popcorn

Use flat, heat-resistant glass cookware, e.g. the lid of an ovenproof dish. Do not use porcelain or heavily curved plates.

Place the popcorn bag onto the cookware with the labelled side facing downwards. Use the settings indicated in the table. The time may need to be adjusted, depending on the product and quantity in question.

Remove the popcorn bag after 1½ minutes and shake it to ensure that the popcorn doesn't burn. Wipe the cooking compartment clean after preparation.

Warning – Risk of burns!

Airtight packaging may burst when food is heated. Always observe the instructions on the packaging. Always use oven gloves to remove dishes from the cooking compartment.

Eco heating functions

Hot air eco and Top/bottom heating eco are intelligent heating functions that allow 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 operating modes 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. For Hot air eco, select a temperature of between 125 and 275 °C, and for Top/bottom heating eco, select a temperature of between 150 and 250 °C. Always keep the appliance door closed when cooking. Only cook on one level when using this function.

The Hot air eco heating function is used to measure both the energy consumption in air recirculation mode and the energy efficiency class. The Top/bottom heating eco heating function is used to measure the energy consumption in the conventional mode.

Accessories

Ensure that you always use suitable accessories and that they are placed in the oven the right way around.

Wire rack

Slide the wire rack in with the embossed "microwave" facing the appliance door, and the curved lip pointing downwards. Always place ovenware, tins and dishes on the wire rack.

Universal pan or baking tray

Slide the universal pan or the baking tray in carefully as far as the limit stop with the bevelled edge facing the appliance door.

Baking tins and cookware

Dark- coloured metal baking tins are most suitable. These allow you to make energy savings of up to 35 per cent.

Cookware made from stainless steel or aluminium reflects heat like a mirror. Non-reflective cookware made from enamel, heat-resistant glass or coated, die-cast aluminium is more suitable.

Tinplate baking tins, ceramic dishes or glass dishes prolong baking time, and the cake will not brown so evenly.

Greaseproof paper

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

Recommended setting values

Here, you can find specifications for various dishes. The temperature and baking time are dependent on the quantity and composition of the dough. Different settings ranges are indicated for this reason. Try using the lower values at first. A lower temperature results in more even browning. If necessary, use a higher setting the next time.

Note: Baking times can not be reduced by using higher temperatures. Cakes or baked items would only be cooked on the outside, but would not be cooked completely in the middle.

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 °CEgg or egg yolk reduces the production of acrylamide.
Oven chips	Spread out a single layer evenly on the baking tray. Cook at least 400 g at once on a baking tray so that the chips do not dry out.

Slow cook

Slow cooking is a technique for cooking food over a long period at low temperatures. For this reason, it is also called "low-temperature cooking".

Slow cooking is ideal for all prime cuts (e.g. tender portions of beef, veal, pork, lamb or poultry) which are to be cooked "à point". The meat will remain succulent and tender.

The benefit of this cooking method is that it allows lots of scope for menu planning because slow-cooked meat is easy to keep warm. You do not have to turn the meat when cooking. Keep the appliance door closed in order to maintain an even cooking climate.

Only use fresh, clean and hygienic meat without bones. Carefully remove sinews and fat from around the edge. Fat develops a strong, distinct flavour during slow cooking. You can also use seasoned or marinated meat. Do not use defrosted meat.

Meat can be carved immediately following slow cooking. No standing time is required. Due to the special cooking method, the meat looks pink, but is not raw or undercooked.

Note: Delayed-start operation with an end time is not possible for the slow cooking heating type.

Cookware

Use flat cookware, e.g. a glass/porcelain serving dish. Place the cookware into the cooking compartment to preheat it.

Always place the uncovered cookware onto the wire rack at level 1.

You can find additional information in the tips on slow cooking attached to the settings table.

Your appliance features the heating type "Slow cook". Only start operation when the cooking compartment has fully cooled down. Allow the cooking compartment to warm up for around 10 minutes with the cookware inside.

Sear the meat on the hotplate at a very high heat and for a sufficiently long time on all sides, even on the ends. Place into the preheated cookware right away. Place the cookware containing the meat into the cooking compartment once again and cook slowly.

Recommended setting values

The slow cooking temperature and cooking time are dependent on the size, thickness and quality of the meat. Different settings ranges are indicated for this reason.

Tips for slow cooking

Slow-cooking duck breast.	Place the cold duck breast into a pan and fry the skin side first. After slow cooking, grill for 3 to 5 minutes until crispy.
The slow-cooked meat is not as hot as conventionally roasted meat.	So that the roasted meat does not cool so quickly, warm the plates and serve the sauces very hot.

Drying

Your appliance features the heating type "Drying", using which you can dry fruit, vegetables and herbs with outstanding results. With this type of preserving, flavourings are concentrated by the dehydration.

Only use unblemished 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 dry it.

If necessary, cut it into equal chunks or thin slices. 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. Allow the blanched vegetables to drain off and distribute them evenly on the wire rack.

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

Use the following shelf positions for drying:

■ 1 wire rack: Level 2
■ 2 wire racks: Level 3+1

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

Recommended setting values

In the table, you can find settings for drying various foodstuffs. The temperature and cooking time are dependent on the type, moisture, ripeness and thickness of the food to be dried. The longer you leave the food to be dried, the better it will be preserved. The thinner the slices are, the quicker the drying process will be and the more aromatic the dried food will remain. Setting ranges are indicated for this reason.

If you wish to dry additional foodstuffs, you should use similar foodstuffs in the table as a reference.

Type of heating used:

Drying

Dish	Accessories	Shelf position	Type of heating	Temperature in °C	Cooking time in hours
Pomes (apple rings, 3 mm thick, 200 g per wire rack)	1-2 wire racks	-		80	4-7

Root vegetables (carrots), grated, blanched	1-2 wire racks	-		80	4-7
Sliced mushrooms	1-2 wire racks	-		60	6-9
Herbs, washed	1-2 wire racks	-		60	2-4

Preserving

You can preserve fruit and vegetables using your appliance.

Warning – Risk of injury!

If the food is preserved incorrectly, the preserving jars may burst. Follow the instructions for preserving.

Jars

Use only clean and undamaged preserving jars. Only use heat-resistant, clean and undamaged rubber rings. Check clips and clamps in advance.

For each preserving process, only use preserving jars that are the same size and contain the same food. In the cooking compartment, you can preserve the contents of a maximum of six 12 , 1 or 112 -litre preserving jars at the same time. Do not use jars that are larger or taller than this. The lids could rupture.

Preserving jars must not touch one another in the cooking compartment during the preserving process.

Preparing fruit and vegetables

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

Peel, core and chop fruit and vegetables appropriate to their type and fill the preserving jars with them up to approx. 2 cm below the rim.

Fruit

Fill the preserving jars with the fruit along with a hot, skimmed sugar solution (approx. 400 ml for a 1-litre jar). For one litre of water:

■ Approx. 250 g sugar for sweet fruit
■ Approx. 500 g sugar for sour fruit

Vegetables

Fill the jars with the vegetables along with hot, boiled water.

Wipe the rims of the jars, as they must be clean. Place a damp rubber ring and a lid on each jar. Seal the jars

with clamps. Place the jars into the universal pan so that they do not touch each other. Pour 500 ml hot water (approx. 80 °C) into the universal pan. Use the settings indicated in the table.

Ending the preserving process

Fruit

After a short while, small bubbles will form at short intervals. Switch off the appliance once all preserving jars are bubbling. Remove the jars from the cooking compartment after the indicated cooling time.

Vegetables

After a short while, small bubbles will form at short intervals. As soon as all preserving jars are bubbling, reduce the temperature to 120 °C and allow the jars to continue to bubble in the closed cooking compartment as indicated in the table. After this time has elapsed, switch off the appliance and make use of the residual heat for several minutes as indicated in the table.

After preserving, remove the jars from the cooking compartment and place them onto a clean cloth. Do not place these hot jars onto a cold or damp surface, as they may crack. Cover the preserving jars to protect them from draughts. Only remove the clamps once the jars are cold.

Recommended setting values

The indicated times in the settings table are average values for preserving fruit and vegetables. They may be influenced by room temperature, the number of jars, quantity, heat and quality of the jar contents. The specifications are based on 1-litre round jars. Before you switch off the appliance or change the cooking mode, check whether the contents of the jars are bubbling as they should. The bubbling process starts after approx. 30-60 minutes.

Prove dough

You can prove yeast dough in your appliance more quickly than at room temperature. Use the top/bottom heating type. Only start operation when the cooking compartment has fully cooled down.

Always allow yeast dough to prove twice. Observe the specifications in the settings tables for the 1st and 2nd proving processes (dough fermentation and final fermentation).

Dough fermentation

Use the settings indicated in the table and heat up the appliance. Position the dough bowl on the wire rack.

Do not open the appliance door during the proving process, as moisture will escape. Cover the dough with a damp cloth.

Final fermentation

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

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

Recommended setting values

The temperature and proving time are dependent on the type and quantity of the ingredients. The values in the table are therefore only meant to be average values.

Type of heating used:

Top/bottom heating

Dish	Accessories/cookware	Shelf position	Type of heating	Temperature in °C	Cooking time in mins.
Yeast dough, light	Bowl	1		35-40	25-30
	Baking tray	1		35-40	10-20
Yeast dough, heavy and rich	Bowl	1		35-40	20-40
	Baking tray	1		35-40	15-25

Defrosting

Use the "Microwave" operation mode to defrost frozen fruit, vegetables, poultry, meat, fish and baked items.

Remove the frozen food from its packaging and place it onto the wire rack in cookware suitable for microwave use. Observe the notes on cookware suitable for microwaves. → "Microwave" on page 20

Slide the wire rack in with the imprint "Microwave" facing the appliance door and the outer rail facing downwards.

Remove unused accessories from the cooking compartment. This will allow you to achieve optimum cooking results and save energy.

Recommended setting values

The times in the table are average values. They are dependent on the quality, freezing temperature (-18 °C) and composition of the food. Time ranges are indicated. Set the shortest time first and then extend the time if

necessary. You can often achieve better results when defrosting in several steps. These are indicated one below the other in the table.

Tip: Items which were frozen flat or portioned defrost faster than those frozen in a block.

Stir the food or turn it once or twice in between. Large pieces of food should be turned several times. Occasionally split the food or remove items which have already defrosted from the cooking compartment.

Leave the defrosted food to rest for another 10 to 30 minutes in the appliance whilst it is switched off, so that the temperature balances out.

Tip: If you have quantities other than those indicated in the settings table, this basic rule will help: double the quantity equates to roughly double the cooking time.

Heating food in a microwave

Using the microwave, you can heat food, or defrost and heat it in a single step.

Take ready-to-eat meals out of the packaging. The food will heat up more quickly and evenly in cookware that is suitable for microwaves. The various components of a dish may require different times to heat up.

Food which lies flat will cook more quickly than food which is piled high. Arrange the food as flat as possible in the cookware for this reason. Food should not be vertically stacked.

Cover the food. This will ensure better cooking results. If you do not have a lid that fits your cookware, use a plate or microwave film for this purpose.

Stir food two to three times during cooking and turn it if necessary. After heating food up, leave it to rest for 1 to 2 minutes to compensate for the temperature difference.

If you are heating up baby food, place the bottle onto the wire rack without the teat or the lid. After heating up, shake well or stir and be sure to check the temperature. The food transfers heat to the cookware. It can become very hot when only using the microwave for preparation.

Tip: If you have quantities other than those indicated in the settings table, this basic rule will help: double the quantity equates to roughly double the cooking time.

Warning – Risk of scalding!

There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is heated. This means that the liquid reaches boiling temperature without the usual steam bubbles rising to the surface. Even if the container only vibrates a little, the hot liquid may suddenly boil over and spatter. When heating, always place a spoon in the container. This will prevent delayed boiling.

Caution!

Creation of sparks: Metal – e.g. a spoon in a glass – must be kept at least 2 cm from the cooking compartment walls and the inside of the door. Sparks

can irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.

Recommended setting values

In the table, you can find the setting values for heating various drinks and foodstuffs up in the microwave. The times specified are only average values. These depend on the cookware used, the quality, temperature and composition of the food in question. Time ranges are indicated. Set the shortest time first and then extend the time if necessary.

The values in the table apply to food placed into a cold cooking compartment.

If no values are indicated for your food, use similar foods in the table as orientation.

Remove any accessories from the cooking compartment which are not being used. This will ensure optimum cooking results and will also save energy.

Wipe the cooking compartment clean after cooking.

Keeping warm

You can keep cooked dishes warm using the "Keeping warm" heating type. This will avoid condensation developing, and means you will not have to wipe out the cooking compartment.

Do not keep cooked dishes warm for longer than two hours. Be aware that some dishes may continue cooking whilst being kept warm. Cover the dishes if necessary.

Test dishes

These tables have been produced for test institutes to facilitate the inspection of the appliance.

As per EN 60350-1:2013 and IEC 60350-1:2011 and as per standard EN 60705:2012, IEC 60705:2010.

Baking

Baked items that are placed into the oven on trays or in baking tins/dishes at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.

Shelf positions for baking on two levels:

■ Universal pan: Level 3 Baking tray: Level 1

Apple pie

Apple pie on one level: place dark-coloured springform cake tins diagonally next to each other.

Cakes in tinplate springform cake tins: bake on one level with top/bottom heating. Place the springform

cake tin onto the universal pan instead of onto the wire rack.

Fatless sponge cake

Fatless sponge cake on two levels: vertically stack springform cake tins in an offset manner on the wire racks.

Notes

■ The setting values apply to dishes placed into a cold cooking compartment.
- Please note the information in the tables about preheating. The setting values are valid without rapid heating-up.
- For baking, use the lower of the indicated temperatures first.

Preparing food with a microwave

When preparing food in a microwave, always use heat-resistant cookware that is suitable for microwave use. Observe the notes on cookware suitable for microwaves. "Microwave" on page 20

When you place your cookware onto the wire rack, slide the wire rack in with the embossed "microwave" facing the appliance door, and the curved lip pointing downwards.

Note: To test in microwave mode only, switch off the drying function in the basic settings. → "Basic settings" on page 25
