2 Preventing material damage
2.1 General
ATTENTION!
Objects on the cooking compartment floor at over 50 °C will cause heat to build up. The baking and roasting times will no longer be correct and the enamel will be damaged.
- Do not place any accessories, greaseproof paper or foil of any kind on the cooking compartment floor.
▶ Only place cookware on the cooking compartment floor if a temperature above 50 °C has been set.
When the cooking compartment is hot, any water inside it will create steam. The change in temperature may cause damage.
▶ Never pour water into the cooking compartment when it is still hot.
▶ Never place cookware containing water on the cooking compartment floor.
The prolonged presence of moisture in the cooking compartment leads to corrosion.
- Allow the cooking compartment to dry after use.
- Do not keep moist food in the cooking compartment for a long time with the door closed.
- Do not store food in the cooking compartment.
Leaving the appliance to cool down with the door open will damage the front of neighbouring kitchen units over time.
▶ Always allow the cooking compartment to cool down with the door closed after cooking at high temperatures.
▶ Take care not to trap anything in the appliance door.
▶ Only leave the cooking compartment to dry with the door open if a lot of moisture was produced during operation.
Fruit juice dripping from the baking tray leaves stains that cannot be removed.
- When baking very juicy fruit flans, do not pack too much on the baking tray.
▶ If possible, use the deeper universal pan.
Using oven cleaner in a hot cooking compartment damages the enamel.
▶ Never use oven cleaner in the cooking compartment when it is still warm.
- Remove all food remnants from the cooking compartment and the appliance door before you next heat up the appliance.
If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no longer close properly during operation. This may damage the front of adjacent kitchen units.
- Keep the seal clean at all times.
▶ Never operate the appliance if the seal is damaged or missing.
Sitting or placing objects on the appliance door may damage it.
- Do not place or hang objects on the appliance door.
- Do not place cookware or accessories on the appliance door.
With certain models, accessories may scratch the door pane when closing the appliance door.
▶ Always push accessories fully into the cooking compartment.
2.2 Microwave
Follow these instructions when using the microwave.
ATTENTION!
Metal touching the wall of the cooking compartment will cause sparks, which may damage the appliance or the inner door pane.
▶ Metal (e.g. a spoon in a glass) must be kept at least 2 cm from the cooking compartment walls and the inside of the door.
Using accessories directly on top of one another causes sparks.
- Do not combine the wire rack with the universal pan.
▶ Always place accessories on different levels.
The universal pan and baking tray are not suitable for use with microwave-only mode. Using either of these may create sparks, which will damage the cooking compartment.
- Place accessories on the wire rack supplied.
Placing aluminium containers in the appliance may cause sparks, which will damage the appliance. - Do not use aluminium containers in the appliance.
Operating the appliance without food in the cooking compartment may lead to overloading. - Do not switch on the microwave unless there is food inside. The only exception to this rule is when performing a short cookware test.
If you prepare microwave popcorn at a microwave power level that is too high, the door pane may crack due to overloading.
▶ Never set a microwave power level that is too high.
▶ Use a maximum microwave output of 600 watts.
▶ Always place the popcorn bag on a glass plate.
3 Environmental protection and saving energy
3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.
- Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.
3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less power.
Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the recommended settings tell you to do so.
■ Not preheating the appliance can reduce the energy used by up to 20%.
Use dark-coloured, black-coated or enamelled baking tins.
■ These types of baking tin absorb the heat particularly well.
Open the appliance door as little as possible during operation.
- This will maintain the temperature in the cooking compartment and eliminate the need for the appliance to reheat.
When baking multiple dishes, do so in succession or in parallel.
- The cooking compartment is heated after baking the first dish. This reduces the baking time for the second cake.
If the cooking time is relatively long, you can switch the appliance off 10 minutes before the cooking time ends.
■ There will be enough residual heat to finish cooking the dish.
Remove any accessories that are not being used from the cooking compartment.
■ Accessories that are not being used do not need to be heated.
Allow frozen food to defrost before cooking.
■ This will save the energy that would otherwise be required to defrost it.

22 How it works
Here, you can find the ideal settings for various types of food as well as the best accessories and cookware. We have perfectly tailored these recommendations to your appliance.
22.1 General cooking tips
Please take note of the following information when cooking all types of food.
- The temperature and cooking time depend on the amount of food and the recipe. Settings ranges are specified for this reason. Try using the lower values to start with.
■ The setting values apply to food placed in the cooking compartment while the cooking compartment is still cold. Do not place accessories into the cooking compartment until it has finished preheating.
■ Remove any accessories that are not being used from the cooking compartment.
22.2 Baking tips
■ Dark-coloured metal baking tins are most suitable for baking cakes, bread and other baked goods.
- Use wide, shallow cookware for bakes and gratins. Food takes longer to cook in deep, narrow cookware and it browns more on top.
■ Silicone moulds are not suitable.
■ If you are cooking bakes directly in the universal pan, place the universal pan into the cooking compartment at level 1. - The setting values for bread dough apply to both dough placed on a baking tray and dough placed in a loaf tin.
ATTENTION!
When the cooking compartment is hot, any water inside it will create steam. The change in temperature may cause damage.
▶ Never pour water into the cooking compartment when it is still hot.
▶ Never place cookware containing water on the cooking compartment floor.
Shelf positions
If you bake on one level, use shelf position 1.
Baking on 2 levels Shelf position
| Universal pan | 3 |
| Baking tray | 1 |
| Baking tins on two wire racks 3 | 1 |
Use the 4D hot air heating function.
Notes
■ Items that are placed in the appliance on baking trays or in baking tins/dishes at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.
■ If you opt for cooking in combination with the microwave mode, you can only cook on one level.
22.3 Roasting, braising and grilling tips
■ The recommended settings are for fridge-temperature food and unstuffed, oven-ready poultry.
■ Place the poultry onto the cookware breast-side or skin-side down.
■ Turn roasting joints, grilled items or whole fish after approx. 12 to 23 of the specified time.
Calculating the cooking time, e.g. 20+35:
■ To calculate the cooking time, assume 20 minutes per 500 g of meat. Then add an extra 35 minutes to that figure.
■ For 1.5 kg, the cooking time would therefore be 95 minutes.
Cooking time range, e.g. 10-15:
- Your food will be ready within the specified range of time (in minutes).
Roasting on the wire rack
Food roasted on the wire rack will become very crispy on all sides. You can roast large poultry, for example, or multiple individual pieces at the same time.
■ Roast pieces of a similar weight and thickness. The grilled food will brown evenly and will remain succulent and juicy.
■ Place the food to be roasted directly on the wire rack.
■ To catch any liquids that drip down, place the universal pan into the cooking compartment one level below the wire rack.
- Add up to 12 litre of water to the universal pan, depending on the size and type of food that you want to roast.
You can make a sauce from the juices that are collected. This also means that less smoke is produced and the cooking compartment does not become as dirty.
Roasting in cookware
If you cover the cookware when you cook your food, this will keep the cooking compartment cleaner.
General information about roasting in cookware
■ Use heat-resistant, ovenproof cookware.
■ Place the cookware on the wire rack.
■ Glass cookware is best.
■ Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your roasting dishes.
Roasting in uncovered cookware
■ Use a deep roasting dish.
■ If you do not have any suitable cookware, you can use the universal pan.
Roasting in covered cookware
■ Use a suitable lid that seals well.
- When roasting meat, there should be at least 3 cm between the food and the lid. The meat may expand.
⚠ WARNING – Risk of scalding!
Very hot steam may escape when the lid is opened after cooking. Steam may not be visible, depending on the temperature.
▶ Lift the lid in such a way that the hot steam can escape away from you.
- Keep children away from the appliance.
Grilling
Grill food if you want it to be crispy.
The "Grill" heating function is good for cooking thinner pieces of poultry, meat and fish such as steaks, drumsticks and burgers. It is also excellent for toasting bread.
Circulated air grilling is very well suited to cooking whole poultry and fish, as well as meat, e.g. roast pork with crackling.
- When grilling several food items, choose pieces that are of a similar weight and thickness. The grilled food will brown evenly and will remain succulent and juicy.
■ Place the food to be grilled directly onto the wire rack.
■ To catch any liquids that drip down, place the universal pan into the cooking compartment at least one level below the wire rack.
Notes
■ The grill element switches on and off continuously. This is normal. The grill setting that you use determines how frequently this occurs.
■ Smoke may be produced when grilling.
22.4 Cooking instructions for ready meals
■ The cooking result greatly depends on the quality of the food. Pre-browning and irregularities are sometimes already present on the raw product.
- Do not use frozen products that are covered with a thick layer of ice. Remove any ice on the food.
- Distribute foods that are in the form of separate pieces, such as bread rolls and potato products, so that they are spread out flat and evenly on the accessory. Leave a little space between the individual pieces.
■ Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.
- If the packaging specifies a higher value than the maximum power of the appliance, use the next lowest a higher value the next lowest wattage setting on the appliance. To achieve the same results, increase the cooking time.
22.5 Microwave cooking
If you use the microwave mode, you can reduce the cooking time considerably.
General information
- When using the microwave mode, the cooking time is determined based on the total weight. If you want to cook a quantity that differs from the specified quantity, the general rule is Double the quantity requires just under double the cooking time.
■ The food transfers heat to the cookware. The cookware can become very hot.
In the main part of the instruction manual, you will find information on how to configure the microwave and microwave combination oven settings.
- → "MicroCombi", Page 17
- → "Microwave", Page 16
Cooking, braising or steaming using the microwave mode
- Use microwave-safe cookware with a lid. Alternatively, you can use a plate or special microwaveable film to cover the dish.
- For cereal products, e.g. rice, use deep cookware with a lid. Cereal products foam a lot during cooking. Add liquid in accordance with the instructions and information provided in the recommended settings tables.
- Do not wash or dry food. Add 1-3 tablespoons of water or lemon juice to the food.
- Spread the food out so that as much of it as possible is in contact with the bottom of the cookware. Food that is in contact with the bottom will cook more quickly than food that is piled up.
■ Use salt and seasoning sparingly. When cooking food using the microwave mode, most of the food's natural flavour will be retained.
■ Turn or stir the food 2-3 times during cooking.
■ After cooking, leave the food to rest for 2-3 minutes.
Steaming fish in the microwave
You can steam fish quickly and easily in the microwave.
- Place the fish in microwave-safe cookware with a lid.
- Add salt and season the fish sparingly.
- If you are steaming a whole fish, add 1–3 tsp of water or lemon juice.
- Use the recommended settings when configuring the appliance settings.
- Leave the cooked fish to rest for 2–3 minutes after cooking.
