Only use the cooker for food preparation. Hot oven Open the oven door carefully. Hot steam may escape. Never touch the internal surfaces of the oven or the heating elements. There is a risk of burning. Children must be kept at a safe distance from the appliance. Never store combustible items in the oven. Risk of fire. Never place flammable objects onto the hot plates. Fire hazard! Never place cables of electronic devices onto the hot plates. Never clamp leads of electrical appliances in the hot oven door. The insulation on the leads could melt. There is a risk of short-circuiting. Caution: The extension rails heat up during oven operation. Use special care to avoid burns when extending the rails. Remove all packaging remnants, e.g. polystyrene parts, from the oven. Repairs Incorrectly done repairs are dangerous. There is a risk of electrocution. Repairs may only be carried out by after-sales service technicians who have been fully trained by BSH. If there is a fault, switch off the oven fuse at the fuse box. Call the after-sales service.58 Reasons for damage Baking sheet or aluminium Do not place baking sheets on the oven floor. Do not foil on the oven floor line the oven floor with aluminium foil. This causes heat to accumulate. Baking and roasting times will no longer be correct and the enamel will be damaged. Baking paper If using hot air *, do not place greaseproof paper loosely in the oven (e.g. when heating the oven). The hot-air fan could draw in the paper which may damage the heater and fan. Water in the oven Never pour water directly into a hot oven. This could damage the enamel. Fruit juice When baking very moist fruit cakes, do not put too much on the baking sheet. Fruit juice dripping from the baking sheet leaves stains that cannot be removed. It is recommended that you use the deeper universal pan. Cooling with the oven door Only leave the oven to cool with the door closed. Do not allow anything to become trapped in the oven door. Even if you only leave the oven door open slightly, the fronts of adjacent units may become damaged over time. Very dirty oven seal If the oven seal is very dirty, the oven door will no longer close properly when the oven is in use. The fronts of adjacent units could be damaged. Keep the oven seal clean. Using the oven door as a Do not stand or sit on the oven door. seat Care and cleaning Do not use high-pressure cleaners or steam jets. Hotplates Keep an eye on pressure cookers during the heat-up phase. As soon as the proper cooking pressure is reached, reduce the heat setting.

EasyClean

The oven cleaning function featured in your oven is intended to help you keep your oven neat and tidy. An amount of cleaning solution is vaporised automatically. The combined effects of heat and steam soften the soil deposits on the oven wall enamel and facilitate their removal. For more information on this function, see the section on ”Cleaning and Care” later in this booklet. Use this function with a cold oven only. Advantages: –takes the toil out of oven cleaning –protects the enamel on interior surfaces – constitutes an environmentally friendly cleaning method (70 Basic settings The default setting for the display text is German.

We recommend dark metallic baking tins. Using baking sheets The slanted (handle) end of the baking sheet must always face the oven door. Always fully insert baking sheets into the oven. Use only original baking sheets. Notes You can influence the degree of browning by changing the temperature setting. Light coloured baking tins made from thin-wall materials lead to longer baking times and uneven browning of the cake. If a cake collapses after removing it from the oven, consider using a longer baking time, or use a slightly lower temperature setting. Using tinplate baking tins

• Circotherm Shelf position 1 / Top/bottom heat Shelf position 1 If the cake bottom gets too dark: Check the slide-in level. Shorten the baking time, and possibly use a lower baking temperature. If the cake bottom stays too light: Check the slide-in level. Increase the baking time, select a lower temperature, or use a dark metal baking tin. Do not place baking forms or high cakes too close to the rear oven wall.77 Cooking Tips and Helpful Hints The bottom of a cake baked Remove from the oven all baking sheets or universal on a baking sheet stays too baking pan currently not in use. light The bottom of a cake baked Use a grill and not a baking sheet to support the in a tin stays too light cake tin during baking.

Dark baking tins have a higher degree of heat absorption. Residual heat: In the case of longer baking times, you can switch off the oven 5-10 minutes before the full baking time has elapsed.78 Roasting Place the grill into the universal baking pan and slide them together into the same slide-in level. Meat can be roasted in the oven in a particularly economical fashion if the weight of the cut exceeds 750 grams. Roasting in an uncovered Rinse the universal baking pan and/or the roaster pot with water, and place the meat into it. With fat meat and poultry, pour 125 to 250 ml of water (to suit the size and kind of roast) into the universal pan. At your discretion, baste lean meat with fat, or cover it with bacon strips. The roast drippings collecting in the universal pan make a tasty gravy. Dissolve the drippings with hot water, bring to a boil, thicken with corn starch, season to taste and, if required, pass it through a strainer. No preheating is required. Save energy by putting the roast into the oven while it is still cold. Roasting in a covered pot Place the meat into the roasting pot (or Dutch oven), cover it with a matching lid, and place it on the grill in the oven. We recommend that beaf roast be prepared in a covered roasting pot. Roasting on the roasting sheet Place the roasting sheet into the universal pan. The roasting sheet prevents soiling of the oven. Grease and juice drippings from the roast are collected in the universal pan. To render your roast more crispy when using the roasting sheet, you may wish to set a slightly higher temperature than indicated in the roasting table.79 Tips Big, high roasts, goose, turkey, duck = Long roasting times, low temperatures Medium sized, low roasts = Medium roasting times, medium temperatures Small, flat roasts = Short roasting times, high temperatures Roasting time per cm of meat height without bones app. 13-15 minutes Roasting time per cm of meat height with bones app. 15-18 minutes We recommend using the lower of the stated temperatures first. In general, the lower temperature ensures a more even browning. We recommend turning the roast after half or two thirds of the roasting time have elapsed when using the setting

For roasting, use only cookware with oven-proof handles. Prepare large roast directly in the universal pan, without using the grill. Smaller cuts of roast can be roasted on aluminium foil. To do so, bend the edges of the foil upward, as if to form a dish, and place it on the grill. After the end of the selected roasting time and with the oven switched OFF, leave the roast in the closed oven for approx. 10 minutes. The roast is not done on Use a lower roasting temperature. the inside Note: Higher temperatures do not shorten roasting times (done on the outside, raw on the inside).

Always keep children at a safe distance. Notes on grilling Always close the oven door when grilling. The grilling temperatures are variable. Always use the grill and the universal pan. Always place food to be grilled in the centre of the wire grill. If the grilling radiator (heating element) switches OFF automatically, the overheating protection was activated. The radiator will be reactivated after a short period of time. Place the grill into the universal baking pan and slide them together into the same slide-in level.81 Circo-roasting Use this method for particularly crispy poultry or roast (e.g., pork roast with rind). Use the grill and universal pan together. Turn large roasts after about half of the total grilling time has elapsed. To prevent breakage after removing them from the oven, place glass utensils on a dry kitchen towel instead of cold or wet surfaces. Dependent on the type of food being prepared, combination hot-air and surface grilling can cause an increased degree of oven soiling. Therefore, to prevent burning-in of the soil, thorough cleaning of the oven is recommended after each use. Whole poultry should be turned after approx. two-thirds of the cooking time has elapsed. With duck and goose, pierce the skin under the wings to allow excess fat to drain off. After the end of the selected roasting time and with the oven switched OFF, leave the roast in the closed oven for approx. 10 minutes. Surface grilling

Used for smaller dishes having little height/thickness. Large area grill Always use the grill and universal pan together. Turn the food after approx. two-thirds of the grilling time has elapsed. At your discretion, lightly baste the grill and the food with oil. Small area grill82 Defrosting and cooking Defrosting and cooking using the circotherm

Important heating system For defrosting and cooking of frozen or deep- information frozen foods, use only the hot-air heating system. With all deep-frozen foods, follow the food processing company‘s instructions on the package. As a rule, defrosted frozen or deep-frozen foods (especially meats) require less cooking time than fresh products, since freezing has a pre-cooking effect. If frozen meat is placed in the oven, the defrosting time must be added to the required cooking time. Always defrost deep-frozen poultry before cooking because the giblets must be removed. For cooking deep-frozen fish, use the same temperatures as for fresh fish. Deep-frozen ready-to-eat meals in aluminium dishes may be placed into the oven several at a time. Slide-in levels With 1 bakings sheet: Slide-in level 1 With 2 baking sheets: Slide-in levels 1 + 3. All stated times are approximate guidelines that vary with the shape and volume of deep-frozen products.83 Defrosting Raw deep-frozen products or foods from a freezer always defrost at 50° C. Higher defrosting temperatures may cause the food to dry out. Defrost deep-frozen meals packed in aluminium foil or closed aluminium containers at a setting of 130 – 140° C. Defrost and warm up deep-frozen baked goods at 100 – 140° C. Brush bread, rolls or yeast pastry lightly with water to make the crust more appealing. Defrost dry deep-frozen yeast cakes at 160 – 170° C for 20 – 30 minutes. Defrost moist deep-frozen yeast cakes (with fruit topping) at 160 – 170° C for 30 – 50 minutes after wrapping in aluminium foil to prevent cake from drying out. Defrost and toast deep-frozen toast (with topping) at 160 – 170° C for about 20 minutes. Frozen pizza: Please follow the manufacturers’ instructions.84 Defrost Recommended for delicate bakeware only (i.e., whipped-cream gateaus).

1. Turn the function selector to position *.

2. Turn down the oven temperature at the

temperature selector until ”Defrost” appears on the display. The fan at the oven wall runs without heat being generated. Depending on size and type of bakeware, defrost for 25 – 45 minutes. After this time, remove the pastry from the oven. Let stand at room temperature for 30 – 40 minutes. With smaller amounts (pastries) the defrosting time is reduced to 15 – 20 minutes and the subsequent standing time to 10 – 15 minutes. Temperature selector Function selector85 Using the steam cooking setting Attention Can be operated with the system steam cooking only (Available as an optional accessory from specialist outlet).

Please read the enclosed cookery book for suggestions on how to make subsequent use of the dough. Before you start baking, remove the water left inside the oven. If any traces of lime are left behind, they can be dissolved with a little vinegar and wiped off using clear water. Never pour cold water into the oven while it is still hot. Switching off Turn the function selector to the 0 position.87 Cleaning and Care Important cleaning For cleaning, do not use abrasives, no corrosive basics cleaners, and no sharp objects. Do not scratch off burnt-in food residues, but soak them off with a moist cloth and dishwashing detergent. Special cleaners, such as oven cleaning spray, must not be used on aluminium or plastic parts. Stainless steel front When using commercially available stainless steel cleaning agents, the lettering may become damaged. Do not use scouring sponges. Use commercially available detergents applied to a soft, moistened cloth or a chamois. Enamel and glass Use hot detergent suds for cleaning. For cleaning the mating surface of the oven door at the front of the oven, the door should be removed. Oven door pane The temperature of the pane inside the oven door is reduced by a heat-reflecting coating. The reduced temperature ensures that visibility through the oven door window is not impaired. When the oven door is open, this coating may have a bright appearance. This is quite normal and does not indicate a quality defect. Hob surface The hob is covered by a special set of operating instructions. Please observe all cleaning directions contained in the instructions.88 Oven interior Clean the oven after each use, especially after roasting or grilling. Food remnants burn in when the oven is reheated. The baked in remnants are very difficult to remove once burnt in. You can reduce the degree of soiling by frequent cleaning using the hot-air system. Do not clean the warm oven with any of the cleaning products specifically designed for this purpose. When baking very moist cake, use the universal baking pan. For roasting, use the appropriate utensils (Dutch oven). Clean the oven before soiling becomes too heavy. Wash out the oven cavity with hot detergent suds. Leave the door open until the interior has dried.89 Catalytic oven surfaces Cleaning the catalytic The rear wall of the oven is coated with self-cleaning surfaces of the oven enamel. The surface cleans itself while the oven is in operation. Large splashes sometimes only disappear after the oven has been used several times. Never use oven cleaner on the back wall of the oven. Should the enamel become slightly stained, this will not affect its self-cleaning properties. Cleaning the oven floor, Use hot soapy water or a vinegar solution. the oven ceiling and the It is best to use oven cleaner if the oven is very dirty. side walls Only use oven cleaner in a cold oven. Note: Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures. This can cause some slight colour variation. This is normal and does not affect the function. Do not use coarse scouring pads or strong cleaning agents to remove such discolorations. The edges of thin trays cannot be completely enamelled. As a result, these edges can be rough. Anti-corrosion protection is guaranteed.90 HydroClean

The oven cleaning function featured in your oven is intended to help you keep your oven neat and tidy. An amount of cleaning solution is vaporised automatically. The combined effects of heat and steam soften the soil deposits on the oven wall enamel and facilitate their removal. Caution: Use this function only after the oven has completely cooled (room temperature). Use normal water only, and no distilled water. Activate oven cleaning:

1. Remove the baking sheet and the universal

baking pan from the oven. The baking grill may remain in the oven.
