Baking
Baking accessories
Baking tins
Use dark metal baking tins. Tinplate and glass dishes increase the baking time required and the cake will not brown evenly. If you want to bake with tinplate baking tins, use shelf position 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 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.

Tips and tricks
| The cake is too light in colour Check the shelf position 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 dark Check the shelf position. Shorten the baking time or reduce the temperature. | |
| The cake is unevenly browned in the baking tin | Check the shelf position and the temperature. Check that the baking tin is in the correct position on the wire rack. |
| The cake on the baking tray is unevenly browned | Check the shelf position and the temperature. When baking small items, make sure that they are the same size and thickness. |
| The cake is too dry Shorten the baking time and increase the temperature slightly. | |
| The cake is too moist in the centre Reduce 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 mixture to rise for longer. Add less liquid to the mixture. | |
| The cake collapses when you take it out of the oven | Add less liquid to the mixture. Increase the baking time or reduce the temperature. |
| The specified baking time is not correct | For small baked items, check the amount on the baking tray. Small baked items must not be touching each other. |
| Frozen products are not browned evenly after baking | If 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 times are not cor-rect | Remove 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.
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.
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 through | Remove 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 door | The 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).
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.
Brush the items to be grilled with a little oil according to taste.
Turn the grilling items half to two-thirds of the way through the grilling time.
The information in the table is only a guideline. The values may vary depending on the type and amount of food to be grilled. They apply to meat placed into a cold oven straight from the refrigerator.
