How do I set the combination mode (microwave + oven)?

First select a heating function (e.g., Hot air) or grill using the function selector. Set the temperature or grill level. Then touch the '+' symbol to add microwave power. Use the function selector to choose the microwave wattage and set the cooking time. Press ▶ to start. You can change settings during operation after pausing.

Can I use metal containers in the microwave?

No, metal containers are not suitable for microwave-only operation as they can cause sparks and damage the appliance. However, metal containers may be used in oven-only modes. When using combination mode, ensure any metal is at least 2 cm from oven walls and door.

How do I activate and deactivate the child lock?

To activate, set the function selector to 0, then touch and hold the symbol for at least 6 seconds. To deactivate, touch and hold the ☑ symbol for 6 seconds. The child lock must first be enabled in the basic settings (set to 'Available').

What should I do if the appliance displays an error code 'Exxx'?

Turn the function selector to 0. If the display goes out, it was a temporary issue. If the error persists or the display remains on, contact after-sales service with the error code. The appliance has a safety shut-off after 12 hours of inactivity.

How do I clean the self-cleaning back wall of the cooking compartment?

The back wall is coated with self-cleaning enamel that cleans itself during operation. Do not use oven cleaner on it. Larger splashes may disappear after several uses. Remove residue with a dry cloth or soft brush. For other surfaces, use hot detergent solution or vinegar solution.

What is the maximum duration for microwave operation at 1000 W?

The 1000 W setting can be used for a maximum of 30 minutes. For other power settings, the maximum duration is 90 minutes. The microwave may reduce power automatically after a certain period to protect the appliance, then return to full power after cooling.

• If using the appliance in microwave mode only, placing cookware and containers made of metal inside the appliance may cause sparks when the appliance is operating. This will damage the appliance. Never use metal containers when using the appliance in microwave mode only. Use only microwave-safe cookware or, alternatively, the microwave in combination with a type of heating.

Causes of damage

Caution!

• Creation of sparks: Metal - e.g. a spoon in a glass - must be kept at least 2 cm from the oven walls and the inside of the door. Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.
• Water in the cooking compartment when the cooking compartment is hot: Never pour water into the cooking compartment when the cooking compartment is hot. Steam will be created. The temperature change can cause damage to the glass floor panel.
• Foil containers: Do not use foil containers in the appliance. They damage the appliance by producing sparks.
• Moist food: Do not store moist food in the closed cooking compartment for long periods. Do not use the appliance to store food. This can lead to corrosion.
• Cooling with the appliance door open: Only leave the cooking compartment to cool with the door closed. Do not trap anything in the appliance door. Even if the door is only slightly ajar, the fronts of adjacent units may be damaged over time.
• Heavily soiled seal: If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no longer close properly during operation. The fronts of adjacent units could be damaged. Always keep the seal clean.
• Transporting the appliance: Do not carry or hold the appliance by the door handle. The door handle cannot support the weight of the appliance and could break.
• Operating the microwave without food: Operating the appliance without food in the cooking compartment may lead to overloading. Never switch on the appliance unless there is food in the cooking compartment. An exception to this rule is a short crockery test (see the section "Microwave, suitable crockery").
• Microwave popcorn: Never set the microwave power too high. Use a power setting no higher than 600 watts. Always place the popcorn bag on a glass plate. The disc may jump if overloaded.

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.

Tips for saving energy

• Only preheat the oven if this is specified in the recipe or in the operating instructions table.
  Use dark, black lacquered or enamelled baking tins when baking. They absorb the heat particularly well.
  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.
• 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.

Cleaning

With thorough care and cleaning your appliance will retain its looks and remain in good order. We will explain here how you should care for and clean your appliance correctly.

Note: Unpleasant odours, e.g. after fish has been prepared, can be removed very easily. Add a few drops of lemon juice to a cup of water. Always place a glass rod/spoon into the container to prevent delayed boiling. Heat the water for 1 to 2 minutes at maximum microwave output.

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.

Risk of electric shock!

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

Risk of injury!

Scratched glass in the appliance door may develop into a crack. Do not use a glass scraper, sharp or abrasive cleaning aids or detergents.

Self-cleaning surface in the cooking compartment

The back wall of the oven is coated with self-cleaning enamel. It cleans itself while the oven is in operation. Sometimes, larger splashes of food may not disappear until the oven has been operated several times. Residue left by spices and similar ingredients can be removed with a dry cloth or a soft brush.

Trust the expertise of the manufacturer, and rest assured that the repair will be carried out by trained service technicians using original spare parts for your domestic appliance.

Here you will find a selection of recipes and the ideal settings for them. We will show you which type of heating and which temperature or microwave output setting is best for your meal. You can find information about suitable accessories and the height at which they should be inserted. There are also tips about ovenware and preparation methods.

Notes

• The values in the table always apply to food placed into the cooking compartment when it is cold and empty. Only preheat the appliance if the table specifies that you should do so. Before using the appliance, remove all accessories from the cooking compartment that you will not be using.
• Do not line the accessories with greaseproof paper until after they have been preheated.
• The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They will depend on the quality and composition of the food.
• Use the accessories supplied. Additional accessories may be obtained from specialist retailers or from the after-sales service.
• Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when taking accessories or ovenware out of the cooking compartment.

Risk of scalding!

Hot liquid may spill over when pulling the glass tray out. Pull the glass tray carefully out of the cooking compartment.

The following tables provide you with numerous options and settings for the microwave.

The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They may vary according to the ovenware used, the quality, temperature and consistency of the food.

Time ranges are often specified in the tables. Set the shortest time first and then extend the time if necessary.

It may be that you have different quantities from those specified in the tables. A rule of thumb can be applied for microwave-only operation: Double the amount - just under double the cooking time, half the amount - half the cooking time.

You can place the ovenware in the centre of the wire rack or on the cooking compartment floor. The food will then absorb the microwaves from all sides.

Defrosting

Place the frozen food in an open container on the oven floor.

Delicate parts such as the legs and wings of chicken or fatty outer layers of roasts can be covered with small pieces of aluminium foil. The foil must not touch the appliance walls. You can remove the foil half way through the defrosting time.

Turn or stir the food once or twice during the defrosting time. Large pieces of food should be turned several times. When turning, remove any liquid that has been produced during defrosting.

Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature for a further 10 to 60 minutes so that the temperature can stabilise. The giblets can be removed from poultry at this point.

Note: Place the ovenware on the cooking compartment floor.

Defrosting and heating up or cooking frozen food

Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat up more quickly and evenly in microwaveable ovenware. The different components of the meal may not require the same amount of time to heat up.

Food which lies flat will cook more quickly than food which is piled high. You should therefore distribute the food so that it is as flat as possible in the container. Different foodstuffs should not be vertically stacked in layers.

Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable cover for your container, use a plate or special microwave foil.

Stir or turn the food 2 - 3 times during cooking.

After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to 5 minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.

This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, so it will require less seasoning.

Note: Place the ovenware on the cooking compartment floor.

Heating food

Risk of scalding!

There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is heated. This means that the liquid reaches boiling temperature without the usual steam bubbles rising to the surface. Even if the container only vibrates a little, the hot liquid may suddenly boil over and spatter. When heating liquids, always place a glass rod/spoon in the container. This will prevent delayed boiling.

Caution!

Metal - e.g. a spoon in a glass - must be kept at least 2 cm from the oven walls and the inside of the door. Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.

Notes

• Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat up more quickly and evenly in microwaveable ovenware. The different components of the meal may not require the same amount of time to heat up
• Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable cover for your container, use a plate or special microwave foil.
• Stir or turn the food several times during cooking. Check the temperature.
• After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to 5 minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.
• Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when removing plates from the oven.

Note: Place the ovenware on the cooking compartment floor.

Cooking food

Food which lies flat will cook more quickly than food which is piled high. You should therefore distribute the food so that it is as flat as possible in the container. Foodstuffs should not be placed in layers on top of one another.

Cook the food in ovenware with a lid. Food should be stirred or turned during cooking.

This will help the food retain more of its own distinct taste, so it will require less seasoning.

After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to 5 minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.

Note: Place the ovenware on the cooking compartment floor.

Microwave tips

You cannot find any information about the settings for the quantity of food you have prepared.	Increase or reduce the cooking times using the following rule of thumb: Double amount = double the cooking time, half amount = half the cooking time
The food has become too dry.	Next time, set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave output setting. Cover the food and add more liquid.
When the time has elapsed, the food is still not defrosted, hot or cooked.	Set a longer time. Large quantities and food which is piled high require longer times.
When the time has elapsed, the food is overheated at the edge but not done in the middle.	Stir it during the cooking time and next time, select a lower microwave output setting and a longer cooking time.
After defrosting, the poultry or meat is defrosted on the outside but not defrosted in the middle.	Next time, select a lower microwave output setting. If you are defrosting a large quantity, turn it several times.

Cakes and pastries

Always place the cake tin in the centre of the wire rack.

Baking tins: It is best to use dark-coloured metal baking tins.

When using the microwave, use baking containers made of glass, ceramic or plastic. These must be heat-resistant up to 250 °C. Cakes will not brown so well if you use these types of baking containers.

Tables: The times given apply to food placed in a cold oven.

The temperature and baking time depend on the consistency and amount of the mixture. This is why temperature ranges are given in the tables. Begin with the lowest temperature and, if necessary, use a higher setting the next time. A lower temperature results in more even browning.

More information can be found in the "Baking tips" section which follows the tables.

Baking tips

You want to bake according to your own recipe.	Use similar items in the baking tables as a guide.
How to establish whether sponge cake is baked through.	Approximately 10 minutes before the end of the baking time specified in the recipe, pierce the cake with a cocktail stick at its highest 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.	Only grease the base of the springform cake tin. After baking, loosen the cake carefully with a knife.
The cake is too dark.	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 toothpick. Then drizzle fruit juice or an alcoholic beverage 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, streaked with water).	Use slightly less fluid next time and bake for slightly longer at a lower temperature. When baking cakes with a moist topping, bake the base first, cover with almonds or bread crumbs and then add the topping. Please follow the recipe and follow the baking times.
The cake cannot be turned out of the dish when it is turned upside down.	After baking, allow the cake to cool for a further 5 to 10 minutes, then it will be easier to turn out of the tin. If it still sticks, carefully ease it away from the edge of the cake tin using a knife. Turn the cake tin upside down again and cover it several times with a cold, wet cloth. Next time, grease the tin well and sprinkle some bread crumbs into it.
You have measured the temperature of the oven using your own meat thermometer and found there is a discrepancy.	The oven temperature is measured by the manufacturer after a specified period of time using a test rack in the centre of the oven. Ovenware and accessories affect the temperature measurement, so there will always be some discrepancy when you measure the temperature yourself.
Sparks are generated between the tin and the wire rack.	Check that the tin is clean on the outside. Move the tin to a different position in the oven. If this does not help, continue baking without the microwave function or use the glass tray as a surface to place items on. The baking time will then be longer.

Roasting and grilling

Tables: The times given apply to food placed in a cold oven.

The temperature and roasting time depend on the type and amount of food being cooked. This is why temperature ranges are given in the tables. Begin with the lowest temperature and, if necessary, use a higher setting the next time.

For more information, see the section entitled "Tips for grilling and roasting" which follows the tables.

Ovenware: You may use any heat-resistant ovenware which is suitable for use in a microwave. Metal roasting dishes are only suitable for roasting without the microwave function.

The ovenware can become very hot. Use oven gloves to take the ovenware out of the oven.

Place hot glass ovenware on a dry kitchen towel after removal from the oven. The glass could crack if placed on a cold or wet surface.

Tips for roasting: Use a deep roasting dish for roasting meat and poultry.

Check that your ovenware fits in the cooking compartment. It should not be too big.

Meat: Cover the base of the ovenware with a little liquid. Add slightly more liquid for pot roasts. Turn pieces of meat halfway through the cooking time. When the roast is ready, turn off the oven and allow it to rest in the oven for an additional 10 minutes. This allows better distribution of the meat juices.

Tips for grilling: Always keep the oven door closed when grilling and do not preheat.

As far as possible, the pieces of food you are grilling should be of equal thickness. Steaks should be at least 2 to 3 cm thick. This will allow them to brown evenly and remain succulent and juicy. Do not add salt to steaks until they have been grilled.

Use grill tongs to turn the pieces of food you are grilling. If you pierce the meat with a fork, the juices will run out and the meat will become dry.

Dark meat, e.g. beef, browns more quickly than lighter-coloured meat such as veal or pork. When grilling light-coloured meat or fish, these often only brown slightly on the surface, although they are cooked and juicy on the inside.

The grill element switches off and on again automatically. This is normal. The grill setting determines how frequently this will happen.

Tips for braising: Use ovenware with a lid for braising fish.

Add two to three tablespoons of liquid and a little lemon juice or vinegar to the ovenware.

Tips for roasting and grilling

The table does not contain information for the weight of the joint.	For small roasts, select a higher temperature and a shorter cooking time. For larger roasts, select a lower temperature and a longer cooking 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 looks good but the juices are burnt.	Next time, use a smaller roasting dish or 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.
The roast is not well-done enough.	Cut the roast into slices. Prepare the gravy in the roasting dish and place the slices of roast meat in the gravy. Finish cooking the meat using the microwave only.

Bakes, gratins

The table applies to dishes placed in a cold oven.

Place the bake in microwaveable ovenware on the cooking compartment floor.

Use large flat ovenware for bakes and gratins. Food takes longer to cook in narrow, deep containers and browns more on top.

Bakes and gratins should be left to cook in the oven for a further 5 minutes after the oven has been switched off.

Acrylamide in foodstuffs

Which foods are affected?

Acrylamide is mainly produced in grain and potato products that are heated to high temperatures, such as potato crisps, chips, toast, bread rolls, bread, 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 Hot air, max. 180 °C.
Biscuits	Egg or egg yolk reduce the formation of acrylamide. Spread out a single layer evenly on the glass tray.
Oven chips	Cook at least 400 g at once on a glass tray so that the chips do not dry out.
