Types of heating
Different types of oven heating are available. You can therefore select the best method for cooking any dish.
Top and bottom heating
This ensures the even distribution of heat onto the cake or roast from the top and bottom of the oven. This type of heating is best for cake mixtures in tins or for bakes. Top and bottom heating is also suitable for cooking lean roasts of beef, veal and game.
3D hot air
A fan in the rear panel distributes the heat from the ring heating element evenly inside the oven.
Using 3D hot air, it is possible to bake cakes and pizza on two shelves. You can cook biscuits and puff pastry on two levels at the same time. The required oven temperatures are lower than those for top and bottom heating. Additional baking trays may be obtained from specialist shops.
3D hot air is ideal for drying food.
Intensive hot air / pizza setting
This type of heating uses bottom heating and the ring heating element.
This type of heating is particularly suitable for deep-frozen foods. It is ideal for cooking pizzas, chips or strudels, without requiring preheating.
Bottom heat
You can reheat or brown meals using bottom heating.
Hot air grilling
This type of heating involves the grill element and the fan switching on and off alternately. During the pause in heating, the fan circulates the heat generated by the grill around the food. This ensures that pieces of meat are crisped and brown on all sides.
Radiant grill - small surface
This involves the middle section of the grill element being switched on. This type of heating is ideal for cooking small quantities. This saves energy. Place the pieces to be grilled in the centre of the wire rack.
Radiant grill - large area
The entire area under the grill element becomes hot. This is ideal if you wish to cook several steaks, sausages, fish or slices of toast.
Defrosting
A fan in the rear wall of the oven circulates the air in the oven around the frozen food. Frozen pieces of meat, poultry, bread and cakes defrost evenly.
Oven and shelving accessories
The shelf can be inserted at 3 different heights in the oven.
You can remove the shelf two thirds of the way without it tipping. This makes it easier to take food out of the oven.
When using 3D hot-air baking, do not use shelf position 2 in order not to block air circulation.

Tables and tips
This table contains a selection of dishes and the optimum settings at which to cook them. You can find out which type of heating and temperature is best for your dish, which accessories to use, and at which oven level the dish should be inserted. You will find a variety of tips about ovenware and preparation, and a small troubleshooting section in case anything should go wrong.
Cakes and pastries
Baking tins It is best to use dark baking tins. You should use
3D-hot air when using thin baking tins, or glass containers. This means, however, that the baking time is increased and the cake does not brown so evenly.
Always place the cake tin on the wire rack.
Tables The values in the table apply to dishes placed in a
cold oven. This saves energy. Shorten the baking times indicated by 5 to 10 minutes if you have preheated the oven.
The tables show which type of heating is best for different cakes and bakes.
The temperature and cooking time you select depends on the quantity and type of pastry. This is why „ranges“ are given in the tables. You should try to use a lower temperature setting to start with, since this allows more even browning. If necessary, use a higher temperature setting the next time.
More information can be found in the „Baking tips" section which follows the tables.

Baking at the pizza setting
The values in the table are approximate and refer to enamelled baking sheets. The values may vary depending on the type and amount of dough and the baking tin. Follow the preheating instruction in the table.
At the first attempt we recommend that you set lower temperatures than those indicated. In principle, a lower temperature gives a more even browning.
If you are baking according to your own recipes, look for similar pastries in the table.
The values refer to insertion of food into a cold oven.

Baking tips
| You wish to cook to your own recipe. | Refer to the instructions in the tables for similar types of food. |
| How to check that a sponge cake is cooked properly. | Approximately 10 minutes before the end of the baking time given in the recipe, pierce the tallest point of the cake with a cocktail stick. The cake is done if the cocktail stick comes out clean. |
| The cake collapses. Next time, use less liquid or decrease the oven temperature by 10 degrees. Observe the cooking times in the recipe. | |
| The cake has risen in the centre but is lower at the edges. | Do not grease the sides of the springform cake tin. As soon as the cake is done, carefully loosen the cake around the edges using a knife. |
| The cake is too dark at the top. | Insert it at a lower level in the oven, select a lower temperature and cook the cake a little while longer. |
| The cake is too dry. Use a toothpick to make small holes in the finished cake. Then drizzle fruit juice or alcohol over the top. Next time you should decrease the temperature by around 10 degrees and reduce the baking times. | |
| The bread or cake (e.g. cheesecake) looks fine, but is soggy on the inside (soft, with watery areas). place the topping over this. Please observe the recipe and the baking times. | |
| The pastry is unevenly browned. | Select a slightly lower temperature to ensure that the pastry is baked more evenly. Check the shelf position and the rails (see section "Cleaning the rails"). Baking paper that protrudes over the food can affect the air circulation. For this reason, always cut the baking paper to fit the baking tray. |
| The fruit cake is too light at the bottom. The fruit juice flows over. | Use the deeper universal pan next time. |
| You were baking on several levels. The food on the top baking tray is darker than that on the bottom baking tray. | Always use 3D-hot air when baking on several levels. Baking trays that are placed in the oven at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time. |
| Condensation is formed when baking cakes containing fresh fruit. | Baking may result in the formation of water vapour. It escapes above the door handle. The steam may settle and form water droplets on the control panel or on the fronts of adjacent units. This is a normal physical process. |
Meat, poultry, fish
Ovenware You may use any heat-resistant dishes. The universal
pan is also suitable for larger roasts.
Always place the dishes in the centre of the wire rack.
Hot glass dishes should be placed on a dry kitchen towel after being removed from the oven. The glass could crack if placed on a cold or wet surface.
Advice on 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.
Advice on hot-air grilling Use the wire rack and the universal pan.
When grilling with hot air on the wire rack, the oven may become very dirty depending on the food which is being grilled. Therefore, always clean the oven after use to prevent dirt from burning in.
For particularly crispy poultry or joints (pork joint with skin).
Turn large joints after approx. half the grilling time.
Turn the whole bird after approx. two thirds of the grilling time. Prick the skin under the wings of duck and goose so that the fat can roast right through.
Advice on radiant 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 rack. If you are grilling just one piece of meat, it will turn out best if you place it in the centre of the wire rack. 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 after two thirds of the cooking time indicated.
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.

Note
The universal pan and the baking tray may become warped when baking frozen foods. This is caused by the considerable temperature fluctuations which affect the accessories. This warping is eliminated during the baking process.
Defrosting
Remove the food from its packaging and place it in a suitable dish on the wire rack.
Please observe the instructions on the packaging.
The defrosting times depend on the type and amount of food.

Preserving
Preparation The jars and rubber sealing rings must be clean and
intact. Use jars of the same size if possible. The instructions in the table refer to round 1-litre jars. Caution Do not use larger or taller jars. The lid could crack.
Only use perfectly fresh fruit and vegetables. Wash them thoroughly.
Pour the fruit or vegetables into the jars. Wipe clean the tops of the jars again if necessary. They must be clean. Place a wet rubber sealing ring and lid on each jar and lock the jars using clamps.
Place the preserving jars in a triangle (see fig.), ensuring that they are approx. 5 cm from the rear of the oven.
The times specified in the tables are guidelines only. They can be influenced by the room temperature, the number of jars and the amount and temperature of the jar contents. Before you change settings or switch off the appliance, make sure that the contents of the jars are actually bubbling.
Setting procedure
- Place the universal pan on level 1. Place the jars inside the pan so that they do not come into contact with each other.
- Pour 1/2 litre of hot water (approx. 80^ ) into the universal pan.
- Close the oven door.
- Switch the function selector to

Energy saving tips
Only preheat the oven if it specifies in the recipe or in the table in the instruction manual that you should do so.
Use non-stick, black painted or enamelled tins.
They absorb the heat especially well.
If you have several cakes to bake it is best to bake them one after the other. The oven is still warm. This shortens the baking time for the second cake. You can also put two baking tins in one after the other.
For long cooking times, the oven can be switched off 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time and the remaining heat can be used to finish the cooking.
Acrylamide in food
Experts are currently discussing how dangerous acrylamide in food can be. We have compiled this information sheet for you on the basis of current research.
Where does acrylamide Acrylamide in food does not come from external come from? contamination. It is formed in the food itself during
preparation - provided that the food contains carbohydrate and protein. Exactly how this happens has not yet been completely explained. However, it appears that the acrylamide content is strongly influenced by
high temperatures
a low water content in food
intensive browning of the food.
What sort of foods are Acrylamide forms mostly in grain and potato affected? products that are prepared at high temperatures,
e.g.:
crisps, chips,
toast, rolls, bread,
baked goods made from shortcrust pastry (speciality biscuits and cakes).
What can you do?
You can avoid high levels of acrylamide when baking, frying and grilling.
The following recommendations were published by AID1 and BMVEL2 to help you minimise acrylamide levels:
In general Keep cooking times as short as possible.
"Brown rather than burn" - cook food only until it is golden brown.
The larger and thicker the food is, the less acrylamide it contains.
Baking Set the temperature to a maximum of 200^ when
using the top/bottom heating setting, and to a maximum of 180^ for the 3D hot air setting.
Cookies: Set the temperature to a maximum of 190^ when using the top/bottom heating setting, and to a maximum of 170^ for the 3D hot air setting. The presence of egg or egg yolk in a recipe reduces the formation of acrylamide.
Spread oven chips evenly over the baking sheet in one layer where possible. To prevent the food from drying out quickly, place at least 400g on each baking sheet.
