Before using the appliance for the first time

Clean your appliance before using it for the first time.

  1. Remove accessories and any remaining packaging from the cooking compartment.
  2. Clean the accessories and cooking compartment with hot soapy water (see section: Cleaning and care).
  3. Heat with ☐ Top/bottom heat at 240°C for 60 minutes.
  4. Afterwards, wipe the cooled cooking compartment with hot, soapy water.
  5. Clean the outside of the appliance with a soft, damp cloth and soapy water.

Operating the appliance

In this section, you will find out how to switch your appliance on and off, and how to select an operating mode and temperature.

Switching on the appliance

  1. Turn the operating mode selector until the desired operating mode is selected.
  2. Turn the temperature selector until the desired temperature is selected.
    The ⚡ indicator lamp lights up while the appliance is heating up and during any subsequent heating.

Switching off the appliance

  1. Turn the operating mode selector back to the o position.
  2. Turn the temperature selector back to the ● position.

After the appliance is switched off, the cooling fan may continue to run.

Switching the hob on and off

Your hob comes with its own instructions for use. This contains important safety information, detailed set-up instructions and a lot of information on care and cleaning.

Baking

Do not use shelf height 2 when baking with the ☒ 2D-Hot air operating mode. The air circulation would be impaired and this will have a negative effect on your baking.

Baking accessories

Baking tins

Use dark-coloured metal baking tins. Tinplate and glass dishes increase the baking time required and the cake will not brown evenly. If you wish to bake using tinplate tins and ☐ Top/bottom heat, you should use shelf height 1.

Always place a loaf tin diagonally and a round baking tin in the centre of the wire rack.

Baking trays

We recommend that you only use original baking trays, as these have been optimally designed for the cooking compartment and the operating modes.

Always carefully push the baking trays in as far as they will go. Make sure that the sloping edge of the baking tray is facing the appliance door.

Baking on two levels

When baking on two levels, you should preferably use baking trays and put them in at the same time.

Bear in mind that your items may brown at different rates on each level. The items on the top level will brown most quickly and can be taken out earlier.

Baking table for basic doughs/cake mixtures

The information in the table is a guideline and applies to both aluminium baking trays and dark-coloured baking tins. The values may vary depending on the type and amount of dough/mixture and on the baking tin.

The values for bread dough apply to both dough placed on a tray and dough placed in a loaf tin.

We recommend that you set the lower of the specified temperatures the first time. This will generally allow more even browning.

If you are baking with your own recipe, use similar recipes in the table as a guide.

Observe the notes in the table about preheating.

Baking table for fresh meals and pre-prepared frozen products

Circotherm intensive is particularly suitable for freshly prepared dishes that require a lot of heat from underneath and for frozen convenience products.

Please note the following points:

■ Line the baking tray with greaseproof paper
■ Spread chips out in a single layer
■ Turn frozen potato products half way through the baking time
■ Do not season frozen potato products until after baking
Leave a little space between bread rolls when crisping them up. Do not place too many on a baking tray
■ Follow the manufacturer's instructions.

The information in the table is a guideline and applies to aluminium baking trays. The values may vary depending on the type and amount of dough/mixture and on the baking tin.

We recommend that you set the lower of the specified temperatures the first time. This will generally allow more even browning.

The values in the table apply to putting food in the cold oven. The ☑ Circotherm intensive setting cannot be used to bake on two levels.

Tips and tricks

The cake is too light in colourCheck the shelf height and the recommended bakeware. Place the baking tin on the wire rack and not on the baking tray. Increase the baking time or the temperature.
The cake is too darkCheck the shelf height. Shorten the baking time or reduce the temperature.
The cake is unevenly browned in the baking tinCheck the shelf height and the temperature. Do not place the baking tin directly in front of the air outlets in the back wall of the cooking compartment. Check for the correct position of the baking tin on the wire rack.
The cake is unevenly browned on the baking trayCheck the shelf height and the temperature. When baking small items, make sure that they are the same size and thickness.
The cake is too dryShorten the baking time and increase the temperature slightly.
The cake is too moist in the centreReduce the temperature. Note: Higher temperatures do not mean shorter baking times (cooked on the outside, but not on the inside). Increase the baking time and allow the cake dough to prove longer. Add less liquid to the mixture.
The cake collapses when you take it out of the ovenAdd less liquid to the mixture. Increase the baking time or reduce the temperature.
The specified baking time is not correctFor small items, check the amount on the baking tray. The items must not be touching each other.
Frozen products are not browned evenly after bakingIf frozen products are unevenly browned when prebaked, then uneven browning is to be expected after baking.
Frozen products are not browned, not crispy or the specified time is not correctRemove ice from frozen products before baking them. Do not use heavily frosted frozen products.

Roasting

There is a risk of injury if you use roasting dishes that are not heat-resistant!

Only use roasting dishes that are marked as being suitable for use in the oven.

Do not use shelf height 2 when roasting with ⚙ 2D-Hot air. This will adversely affect air circulation and your roasting results will not be as good.

Open roasting

For open roasting, a roasting dish without a lid is used.

Add liquid to the roasting dish if required. During roasting, the liquid in the roasting dish will evaporate. If necessary, carefully add more hot liquid.

When you are roasting using ☐ Top/bottom heat, turn the roast approximately half to two thirds of the way through the roasting time.

Roasting in the universal pan

Juices escape from the roasting meat and are collected in the universal pan. You can use these juices as the basis for a tasty gravy.

You can also cook side dishes (e.g. vegetables) at the same time as roasting meat in the universal pan.

For smaller joints, you can use a smaller roasting dish instead of the universal pan. Place this directly on the wire rack.

Roasting with a lid

Roasting dishes with lids are used for this kind of roasting. This method is particularly suitable for pot roasts.

Roasting table

The roasting time and temperature depend on the size, height, type and quality of the item.

As a general rule: the larger the item, the lower the temperature and the longer the roasting time.

The information in the table is a guideline, and relates to items cooked without a lid. The values may vary depending on the type and quantity of the meat/fish and on the roasting dish.

You should set the lower of the specified temperatures the first time. This will generally allow more even browning.

At the end of the roasting time, switch the oven off and leave the roast to rest for approximately 10 minutes in the cooking compartment with the door closed. The recommended rest time is not included in the given roasting times.

The information in the table is for food placed in a cold oven and for meat/fish taken directly from the refrigerator.

Tips and tricks

Crust too thick and/or roast too dry Check the shelf height. Reduce temperature or roasting time.
Crust too thin Increase the temperature or switch on the grill briefly at the end of the roasting time.
The meat is not cooked right throughRemove any accessories that are not required from the cooking compartment. Increase the roasting time. Check the core temperature of the roast using a meat thermometer.
Steam in the cooking compartment is condensing on the appliance doorThe steam dries during the course of the cooking. If there is an excessive volume of steam, you can carefully open the door briefly to dissipate the steam more quickly.

Grilling

Caution!

Material damage due to effect of heat: The temperature generated in the cooking compartment is very high. Keep the appliance door closed when using the grill. Never grill with the appliance door open.

For grilling, always use the wire rack and universal pan. Insert the wire rack at the shelf position indicated in the grilling table. To prevent the oven from becoming dirty, insert the universal pan one level lower. Always place the food to be grilled in the centre of the wire rack

Note: Always use the universal pan in the standard position (not the other way up).

CONSTRUCTA CH230253 - Caution! - 1

If you are grilling more than one piece of meat, make sure that they are the same sort of meat and that they are of similar thickness and weight.

All-round grilling

All-round grilling is particularly suitable for grilling poultry and meat so that it is crispy all round (e.g. roast pork with crackling).

Turn the items after half to two-thirds of the grilling time.

Pierce duck and goose skin under the wings and legs to allow the fat to escape.

Depending on the food you are cooking, the cooking compartment may become more than usually dirty when you cook food on the wire rack using all-round grilling. You should therefore clean the cooking compartment after every use so that the dirt does not burn on.

The information in the table is a guideline, and applies to the enamelled universal pan with wire rack. The values may vary depending on the type and amount of food to be grilled.

You should set the lower of the specified temperatures the first time. This will generally allow more even browning.

At the end of the cooking time, switch the grill off and leave the food to stand for approximately 10 minutes in the cooking compartment with the door closed. The recommended rest time is not included in the grilling times specified.

The values are for food placed in a cold oven and for meat taken directly from the refrigerator.

Defrost

In this section, you can find out how to defrost with ☒ 2D-Hot air or ☒ Defrost.

Defrosting with 2D-hot air

Use the ☒ 2D-Hot air operating mode to defrost and cook frozen products.

Please note the following points here:

■ Frozen products that have been defrosted (meat in particular) require shorter cooking times than fresh products
■ The cooking time for frozen meat increases by the defrosting time
■ Always defrost frozen poultry before cooking so that you can remove the giblets
■ Cook frozen fish at the same temperatures as fresh fish
■ You can place large quantities of ready made frozen vegetables in aluminium dishes in the cooking compartment at the same time
■ Use shelf height 1 when defrosting on one level, and shelf heights 1 + 3 when using two levels
- Observe the instructions on the packaging when using frozen foods.
