■ 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 hang objects on the oven door.

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.

Notes

■ Before cleaning, unplug from the mains.
■ 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.
■ Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures. This can cause some slight colour variation. This is normal and does not affect operation. 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

To ensure that the different surfaces are not damaged by using the wrong cleaning agent, observe the information in the table. Do not use

■ sharp or abrasive cleaning agents,

■ cleaning agents with a high alcohol content,
■ hard scouring pads or cleaning 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 if this is specified in the recipe or in the operating instruction tables.
■ 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 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.

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.

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. A lower temperature produces more even browning. You can increase the temperature next time if necessary.

Meat, poultry, fish

Grilling

When grilling a single thick piece of food, slide the wire rack in at level 2, otherwise the food may touch the grill.

If possible, grill items should be of equal thickness. This ensures that they brown evenly while also remaining succulent.

Turn the food you are grilling after 23 of the time.

Only add salt to steaks once they have been grilled.

Place the food to be grilled directly on the wire rack. If you are grilling a single piece, the best results are achieved by placing it in the centre of the wire rack.

The universal pan should also be inserted at level 1. The meat juices are collected in the pan and the oven is kept cleaner.

Meat

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 allows better distribution of the meat juices.

After cooking, wrap sirloin in aluminium foil and leave it to rest for 10 minutes in the oven.

Meat	Weight	Accessories and ovenware	Position Type of heating		Temperature in °C, grill setting	Cooking time in minutes
Whole chicken	1.6 kg	Universal pan	1		200 90
Lamp	1.5 kg	Universal pan	2		200 100
Roast	1.5 kg	Universal pan	2		175 120
Beef steak		Wire rack	2		250 20+15

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, spiced biscuit).

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.
Biscuits	With top/bottom heating max. 190 °C.Egg or egg yolk reduces the production of acrylamide.
Oven chips	Spread out a single layer evenly on the baking tray.
