Causes of damage
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^ 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.
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.
- Moist food: do not store moist food in the cooking compartment when it is closed for prolonged periods This will damage the enamel.
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.
Cooling with the appliance door open: only allow the cooking compartment to cool when it is closed. Even if the appliance door is only open a little, front panels of adjacent units could be damaged over time.
Heavily soiled oven seal: if the oven seal is heavily soiled, the oven door will no longer close properly when the oven is in operation. The fronts of adjacent units could be damaged. Always keep the oven seal clean.
- Oven door as a bearing surface: do not stand or place objects on the oven door when it is open. Do not place ovenware or accessories on the oven door.

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.
Cleaning agents
Damage to the various different surfaces caused by using the wrong cleaning agent can be avoided by observing the following instructions.
When cleaning the oven do not use
sharp or abrasive cleaning agents,
■ cleaning agent with a high alcohol content,
scouring pads,
high-pressure cleaners or steam jets.
Do not clean individual parts in the dishwasher.
Wash new sponges thoroughly before first use.
| Stainless steel fronts | Wipe the appliance with plenty of water and some washing-up liquid. Always wipe parallel to the natural grain. Otherwise, you may scratch the surface. Dry with a soft cloth. Remove flecks of limescale, grease, starch and albumin (e.g. egg white) immediately. Do not use any abrasive materials, scouring sponges or rough cleaning cloths. The stainless steel fronts can be polished using a special care product. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. You can purchase special stainless steel cleaner from our after-sales service or from specialist retailers. |
| Enamel sur- faces and lac- quered surfaces | Wipe the appliance with some washing-up liq- uid and warm water. Dry with a soft cloth. |

Detaching and refitting the rails
The rails can be removed for cleaning. The oven must have cooled down.
Unhooking the rails
1.Hold the shelf frames from underneath and pull slightly forward. Pull the extension pins at the bottom of the rails out of the mounting holes (Fig. A).
2. Then fold the rails upwards and carefully remove them (Fig. B).


Clean the rails with washing-up liquid and a sponge. For stubborn deposits of dirt, use a brush.
Installing the frames
1.Insert the two hooks carefully into the upper holes. (Figure A-B)


Incorrect assembly!
Never move the frame before the two hooks are fully anchored in the upper holes. The enamel could be damaged and may break (figure C).

2.the two hooks must be inserted fully into the upper holes. Now move the frame slowly and carefully downwards and insert in the lower holes (figure D).
3.Insert both frames into the side walls of the oven (figure E). If the rails are fitted correctly, the distance between the two upper shelf positions is greater.


Detaching and attaching the oven door
For cleaning purposes and to remove the door panels, you can detach the oven door.
The oven door hinges each have a locking lever. When the locking levers are closed (figure A), the oven door is secured in place. It cannot be detached. When the locking levers are open in order to detach the oven door (Fig. B), the hinges are locked. They cannot snap shut.


Risk of injury!
Whenever the hinges are not locked, they snap shut with great force. Ensure that the locking levers are always fully closed or, when detaching the oven door, fully open.
Detaching the door
- Open the oven door fully.
- Fold up the two locking levers on the left and right (figure A).
- Close the oven door as far as the limit stop. With both hands, grip the door on the left and right-hand sides. Close the door a little further and pull it out (figure B).


Attaching the door
Reattach the oven door in the reverse sequence to removal.
-
When attaching the oven door, ensure that both hinges are inserted straight into the opening (figure A).
-
The notch on the hinge must engage on both sides (figure B).


- Fold back both locking levers (figure C). Close the oven door.

Risk of injury!
If the oven door falls out accidentally or a hinge snaps shut, do not reach into the hinge. Call the after-sales service.

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 tables in the instruction manual.
Use dark, black lacquered or enamelled baking tins, because they absorb heat particularly well. - Open the oven door as infrequently as possible while the food is baking and roasting.
If you intend to bake several cakes, preferably bake them one after the other. The oven is still hot. Because the oven is still hot from the previous cake, the baking time for the next cake is reduced. You can also place two fruit loaf tins next to each other in the oven.
For longer cooking times, you can switch the oven to the minimum temperature 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time. At the end of the cooking time, take out the cooked food and switch off the function selector and temperature selector. The appliance is now switched off.
Note:
To prevent moisture from forming on the control panel, do not leave the cooked food in the appliance.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.

This appliance complies with European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). The directive gives a framework for the collection and recycling of old appliances, which is valid across 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 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.

Baking tips
| You wish to bake according to your own recipe. | Use similar items in the baking tables as a guide. |
| How to tell whether sponge cake is baked through: | Approx. 10 minutes before the end of the baking time stated in the recipe, insert a cock-tail stick into the cake at its deepest 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 edge of the springform cake tin. After baking, loosen the cake carefully with a knife. |
| The cake goes too dark on top. Place the cake lower in the oven and bake at a lower temperature for slightly longer. | |
| The cake is too dry. Make tiny holes in the finished cake using a cocktail stick. Then drizzle fruit juice or an alcoholic drink over it. Next time, set the 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, with streaks of 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. Cover the base with almonds or bread-crumbs first and then apply the topping. Take care to follow recipes and baking times. |
| The pastries are not evenly browned. | Select a slightly lower temperature to ensure that the cake is baked more evenly. Pro-truding greaseproof paper can affect the air circulation. For this reason, always trim 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. If available, use a deeper baking tray next time. | |
| The pieces of dough are sticking together when the yeast rolls are baked. | There must be a distance of about 2 cm between the bread rolls. This gives enough space for the bread rolls to expand and bake evenly on all sides. |
| Condensation forms when you bake moist cakes. | Steam can form during baking, which escapes via 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 baking tray is also suitable for large roasts.
Glass ovenware is the most suitable. The lid of the roasting dish should fit well and close 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 done. Increase the cooking times.
Information in the tables:
Ovenware without a lid = uncovered
Ovenware with a lid = covered
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 - 2cm 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.
Meat
Turn pieces of meat halfway through the cooking time.
With pork, score the rind and place it on the dish rind-side down first.

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 insert the baking tray 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 213 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, you should also insert the baking tray 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 Next time, use a smaller roasting dish or add more liquid. burnt.
Bakes, gratins, toast
| 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. |
Always place the ovenware on the wire rack.
With bakes, the cooking time depends on the size of the ovenproof dish and the height of the bake. The values specified in the tables are guidelines only.

Note
When cooking frozen meals, the shape of the aluminium baking tray may change (the baking tray distorts). 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
Low temperatures are particularly good for preparing yeast dough and home-made yoghurt.
Remove the accessories from the oven.
Preparing yoghurt
- Bring 1 litre of milk (3.5% fat) to the boil, let it cool to 40^ .
-
Add 150 g yoghurt (from the refrigerator) to the milk and stir well.
3.Pour into small sealable jars and cover with cling film. -
Place the jars on a wire rack and slide in at level 1.
5.Set the baking temperature to 50^ and continue as indicated.
Proving yeast dough
1.Prepare the yeast dough as usual, place it in a heat-resistant ceramic dish and cover with a lid.
2.Preheat the oven as indicated.
3.Close the oven door and allow the yeast dough to prove in the oven.

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. | |
| Baking With top/bottom heating max. 200 °C. | |
| With 3D hot air or hot air max.180 °C. | |
| Biscuits With top/bottom heating max. 190 °C. | |
| With 3D hot air or hot air max. 170 °C. | |
| Egg or egg yolk reduces the production of acrylamide. | |
| Oven chips Spread 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 | |
