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.

Risk of electric shock!

Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners, which can result in an electric shock.

Risk of burns!

The appliance becomes very hot. Never touch the interior surfaces of the cooking compartment or the heating elements. Always allow the appliance to cool down. Keep children at a safe distance.

Cleaning agents

Damage to the various different surfaces caused by using the wrong cleaning agent can be avoided by observing the following instructions.

Do not use

■ harsh or abrasive cleaning agents
■ cleaning agents with high concentrations of alcohol
■ hard scouring pads and sponges
■ high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.

Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.

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 when it is specified in the recipe that you should do so.
■ 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.

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.

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 °CEgg or egg yolk reduces the production of acrylamide.
Oven chips Spread out a single layer evenly on the baking tray. Cook at least 400 g at once on a baking tray so that the chips do not dry out.

Tips for using your appliance

Here you will find a selection of tips on ovenware and preparation methods.

Notes

■ Use the accessories provided. 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 an oven cloth or oven gloves when taking accessories or cookware out of the cooking compartment.

Baking

Baking tins

■ Use light-coloured baking tins and trays wherever possible.
■ Always place the baking tins on the middle of the baking and roasting wire rack.

Baking tips

How to establish whether sponge cake is baked through.	Approx. 10 minutes before the end of the baking time stated in the recipe, insert a cocktail stick into the cake at its deepest point. If no cake mixture sticks to the wood, the cake is ready.
The cake collapses. Use less fluid next time or set the oven temperature 10 degrees lower. Note the stirring times indicated in the recipe.
The cake has risen high in the middle and less around the edges.	Do not grease the sides of the springform cake tin. After baking, carefully loosen the cake using a knife.
The cake is too dark on the 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 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 sticky on the inside (soggy with wet streaks).	Next time, use less liquid and bake at a lower temperature for slightly longer. For cakes with a moist topping, bake the base first. Sprinkle it with almonds or bread crumbs and then place the topping on top. 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. Excess greaseproof paper can affect the air circulation. Always cut the greaseproof paper to suit the size of the baking tray.
The bottom of a fruit flan 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 during baking.	There should be a gap of approx. 2 cm around each item. This gives enough space for the baked items to expand and turn brown on all sides.
Condensation forms when you bake moist cakes.	Baking may create 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.

Roasting and grilling

Ovenware

You may use any heat-resistant ovenware. Always place the ovenware in the middle of the wire rack. The enamelled baking tray is also suitable for large roasts.

Roasting tips

■ A a lower temperature produces more even browning.
■ Depending on the size of the joint, add 2 or 3 tablespoons of liquid to lean meat and 8 to 10 tablespoons of liquid to pot roasts.
■ When cooking duck or goose, pierce the skin on the underside of the wings to allow the fat to run out.
■ 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.
■ 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 will allow the meat juices to distribute themselves better inside the roast.

• When roasting large pieces of meat, you may find that the amount of steam and condensation on the oven door is more than usual. This is a normal occurrence which has no effect on the oven's performance. Once roasting is complete, dry the oven door and window with a cloth.
  If you are roasting on the wire rack, insert the enamelled baking tray into shelf position 1 to collect the drips of fat.

Grilling tips

If possible, grill items should be of equal thickness. They should be at least 2 to 3cm thick. This ensures that they brown evenly while also remaining succulent.
- Place the food to be grilled in the centre of the wire rack. Pour a little water into the enamelled baking tray and insert this into the shelf position underneath the grill to collect the drips of fat. Never place it on the cooking compartment floor.
- Drizzle some oil over the food to be grilled before you place it on the wire rack under the grill.
If the food to be grilled is thin, turn it over halfway through grilling; if it is thick, turn it over several times during grilling. Use tongs when turning the food to avoid piercing it and, in the case of meat, to keep the meat juices inside the meat.
■ Dark meats such as lamb and beef brown better and more quickly than light meats such as pork and veal.

Roasting tips

How can you tell when the roast is ready?	Use a meat thermometer (available from specialist retailers) 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 burnt in places.	Check the shelf position and temperature.
The roast looks good but the juices are burnt.	Next time, use a smaller roasting dish and add more liquid.
The roast looks good, but the juices are too clear and watery.	Next time, use a larger roasting dish and add less liquid.
