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.

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.

SIEMENS HB331E0 - Environmentally-friendly disposal - 1

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 cakes and tarts, the best results can be achieved using ☐ Top/bottom heating.

When baking with 📄 3D Hot air, use the following shelf positions for the accessories:

■ Cake in a cake tin: Shelf position 2
■ Cake on a baking tray: Shelf position 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. Bake delicate pastries on one level using Top/bottom heating. Protruding 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

Add in a little liquid if the meat is lean. Cover the base of the ovenware with approx. 12 cm of liquid.

Add liquid generously for pot roasts. Cover the base of the ovenware with approx. 1 - 2 cm of liquid.

The amount of liquid depends on the type of meat and the material the ovenware is made of. If preparing meat in an enamelled roasting dish, it will need a little more liquid than if cooked in glass ovenware.

Roasting dishes made from stainless steel are not ideal. The meat cooks more slowly and browns less fully. Use a higher temperature and/or a longer cooking time.

Tips for grilling

Always grill with the oven door closed.

Heat the grill for approximately 3 minutes before placing the food to be grilled on the wire rack.

Place the food to be grilled directly on the wire rack. If you are grilling a single piece, the best results are achieved by placing it in the centre of the wire rack. The universal pan should also be inserted at level 1. The meat juices are collected in the pan, keeping the oven cleaner.

Do not insert the baking tray or universal pan at level 4. They may become deformed at high temperatures and damage the cooking compartment when they are removed.

If possible, grill items should be of equal thickness. This will allow them to brown evenly and remain succulent and juicy. Only add salt to steaks once they have been grilled.

Turn grilled items after 23 of the specified time.

The grill element switches on and off intermittently. This is normal. The grill setting determines how frequently this occurs.

Meat

Turn pieces of meat halfway through the cooking time.

When the roast is ready, turn off the oven and allow it to rest for an additional 10 minutes. This allows better distribution of the meat juices.

After cooking, wrap sirloin in aluminium foil and leave it to rest for 10 minutes in the oven.

For roast pork with a rind, score the rind in a crossways pattern, then lay the roast in the dish with the rind at the bottom.

Poultry

The values in the table apply to dishes placed in a cold oven.

The weights indicated in the table are for unstuffed poultry that is ready for roasting.

If you are grilling directly on the wire rack, you should also insert the universal pan at level 1.

When cooking duck or goose, pierce the skin on the underside of the wings to allow the fat to escape.

Place the bird onto the wire rack with the breast side facing downwards. Turn the whole bird when two thirds of the cooking time has elapsed.

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.

Fish

Turn the pieces of fish after 23 of the specified time.

Whole fish do not need to be turned. Place the whole fish in the oven in swimming position with the dorsal fin facing upwards.

To ensure that the fish remains in position, place half a potato or a small, ovenproof container into the stomach cavity.

If you are grilling directly on the wire rack, also insert the universal pan at level 1. The fish juices are collected in the pan and the oven is kept cleaner.

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.

Bakes, gratins, toast with toppings

If you are grilling directly on the wire rack, the universal pan should also be inserted at level 1. This keeps the oven cleaner.

Always place the ovenware on the wire rack.

How well cooked the bake is will depend on the size of the dish and the height of the bake. The figures in the table are only average values.

Preprepared products

Observe the instructions on the packaging.

If you line the accessories with greaseproof paper, make sure that the paper is suitable for these temperatures. Make sure the paper is a suitable size for the dish to be cooked.

The cooking result greatly depends on the quality of the food. Pre-browning and irregularities can sometimes even be found on the raw product.

Note

The universal pan may warp when cooking frozen dishes. The reason for this is the large temperature differences that the accessory is subjected to. The deformation disappears as early as during the cooking process.

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.

Preserving

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

Caution!

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

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

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

Preparation

  1. Fill the jars, but not to the top.
  2. Wipe the rims of the jars, as they must be clean.
  3. Place a damp rubber seal and a lid on each jar.
  4. Seal the jars with the clips.
    Place no more than six jars in the cooking compartment.

Making settings

  1. Insert the universal pan at level 2. Arrange the jars on it so that they do not touch each other.
  2. Pour 12 litre of hot water (approx. 80 °C) into the universal pan.
  3. Close the oven door.
  4. Set ☐ Bottom heating.
  5. Set the temperature to between 170 and 180 °C.

Preserving

Fruit

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

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

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

Apples, redcurrants, strawberries Switch off approx. 25 minutes
Cherries, apricots, peaches, gooseberries Switch off approx. 30 minutes
Apple purée, pears, plums Switch off approx. 35 minutes

Vegetables

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

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

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.
BakingWith top/bottom heating max. 200 °C.With 3D hot air or hot air max.180 °C.
BiscuitsWith top/bottom heating max. 190 °C.With 3D hot air or hot air max. 170 °CEgg or egg yolk reduces the production of acrylamide.
Oven chipsSpread 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

Test dishes

These tables have been produced for test institutes to facilitate the inspection and testing of the various appliances.

In accordance with EN 50304/EN 60350 (2009) and IEC 60350.

Baking

Baking on 2 levels:

Always insert the universal pan above the baking tray.

Piped cookies (such as Spritz cookies in sugar syrup):
