Oven operating modes

Here you will receive an overview of the four oven functions: hot air functions, conventional functions, grill functions and special functions. The oven functions are divided into the following operating modes.

Hot air functions

Circotherm

The hot air functions include:

A fan system located in the rear oven wall circulates the circotherm in the oven, achieving an especially effective heat transfer to the food being baked or roasted.

Advantages:

• Simultaneous baking and roasting possible on up to 3 levels
  – low soiling of oven interior
  – shorter preheating times
• low oven temperatures

Defrost

A fan in the rear wall of the oven swirls the air in the oven around the frozen food. The fan runs without heating.

Advantages:

• Gentle defrosting
• Deep-frozen meat, poultry, bread and cakes defrost evenly.

Circotherm intensive

The circotherm intensive adds the bottom heat to the circotherm.

Advantages:

• Fresh preparation of food with met fillings or toppings, e.g. pizza and flan.
• Especially suited for frozen products, e.g. pizzas, chips etc.

Bread baking setting

Bread baking setting with hot-air function.

Adjustable 180–220°C.

Conventional functions

Top and bottom heat (Conventional heating system)

The conventional functions include:

The food being baked or roasted is exposed to heat radiation from heating elements located at the top and bottom of the oven cavity.

Baking and roasting is possible on one shelf position only.

Advantages:

- Baking of cake with met fillings, pizza, quiche, e.g.

Bottom heat

With this setting, only the heating element at the bottom of the oven cavity is activated.

Advantage:

- Particularly useful with dishes and baked goods that require a distinctive bottom crust or browning.

⚠ Use just before the end of the baking or roasting time.

Braising

Roasting on a low heat.

Ideal for all tender meats which are to be cooked rare or to perfection.

Advantages:

– cooking point reliably reached
– very juicy, tender and soft meat
- braised meat does not require rest times and can easily be kept warm at a low temperature.

Grill functions

Full-surface grill

The grill functions include:

The food being prepared is exposed to heat radiation from the heating element at the top of the oven cavity.

Advantages:

• Particularly effective with flat, small cuts of meat, i.e., steaks, sausages, fish, vegetables and toast.
  – the entire grilling surface heats up
• especially useful with large amounts of food

Centre-area grill

Advantages:

• only the centre area of the grilling surface heats up
• especially useful with small amounts of food
• energy-saving operation

Circo-roasting

With circo-roasting, the air circulating fan and the grilling elements are activated alternately.

The heat generated by the grilling element is evenly distributed in the oven cavity.

Advantage:

- Particularly effective with poultry.

Special functions S

Memory function

The special functions include:

To facilitate the preparation of your favourite dishes or lavish foods, you can record the cooking process of 10 foods and play them back at any time.

The oven saves the set operating mode, temperature and duration as well as up to four other changes which you make during the recording.

Steam cooking

For system steam cooker (option available from specialist dealers)

Dough proving

The dough proving function provides ideal conditions inside the oven for getting yeast dough to rise.

Temperature: 35–38°C

Humidity: 75–100%

Advantages:

– rapid and uniform increase in volume of dough
- dough does not dry out
- dough does not form a skin which means that it very easy to process and work into the required shape
– exclusion of unfavourable external influences (e.g. draughts).
- yoghurt can be made.

Plate warming

For prewarming porcelain dishes (fixed temperature setting). Food and drinks cool down less quickly in a prewarmed dish.

Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when taking the dish out of the oven.

Keep warm

For keeping food warm (settings 60–120 °C).

Do not keep food warm for longer than two hours, as warm food perishes more easily.

Sabbath setting

The oven runs from 24–73 hours at a fixed temperature setting (top/bottom heat).

The recommended time is 27 hours.

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.

Advantages:

• takes the toil out of oven cleaning
• protects the enamel on interior surfaces
  – constitutes an environmentally friendly cleaning method

Baking

Using baking tins

Illustration of a bowl placed on a cooling rack (no text or symbols)

Notes

Always place baking tins in the centre of the baking wire shelf.

We recommend dark metallic baking tins.

Light coloured baking tins made from thin-wall materials lead to longer baking times and uneven browning of the cake.

You can influence the degree of browning by changing the temperature setting.

If a cake collapses after removing it from the oven, consider using a longer baking time, or use a slightly lower temperature setting.

Using baking sheets

Illustration of a baking tray with circular food items and a few on top (no text or symbols)

Using tinplate baking tins

The slanted (handle) end of the baking sheet must always face the oven door.

To avoid damage, insert slide-in accessories carefully.

Always fully insert baking sheets into the oven.

Use only original baking sheets.

Circotherm Shelf position 1
☐ Top/bottom heat Shelf position 1

If the cake bottom gets too dark:

Check the shelf position. Shorten the baking time, and possibly use a lower baking temperature.

If the cake bottom stays too light:

Check the shelf position. 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.

Cooking Tips and Helpful Hints

The bottom of a cake baked on a baking sheet stays too light	Remove from the oven all baking sheets or universal pan currently not in use.
The bottom of a cake baked in a tin stays too light	Use a wire shelf and not a baking sheet to support the cake tin during baking.
The bottom of cake or cookies gets too dark	Set cake or cookies into a higher set of shelf position.
The cake gets too dry	Select a slightly higher oven temperature, and shorter baking time.
The cake is too moist on the inside	Choose a slightly lower baking temperature.Note:Higher temperatures do not shorten baking times (done on the outside, raw on the inside). Choose a slightly longer baking time, allow the dough to rise slightly longer. Add less liquid to the dough.
When baked with circotherm, cake baked in round or square tins gets too dark at the rear	Avoid blocking the air vents at the rear wall of the oven cavity with the cake tins.
Very moist cake dough (e.g. fruit cake) causes a lot of steam to generate in the oven that condenses on the oven door.	You can let the steam escape from the oven and thereby reduce the forming of water droplets by briefly and carefully opening the oven door (once or twice, in case of longer baking times more often).
Very uneven browning when using circotherm	Check the shelf position.
Cake collapses when taken out of the oven	Use less liquid.
To save energy	Preheat only if expressly required by the recipe. 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.

Roasting

Illustration of a rolled food item on a metal tray (no text or symbols)

Roasting in an uncovered pot

Place the wire shelf into the universal pan and slide them together into the same shelf position.

Meat can be roasted in the oven in a particularly economical fashion if the weight of the cut exceeds 750 grams.

Rinse the universal pan and/or the roaster 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 wire shelf in the oven. We recommend that beaf roast be prepared in a covered roasting pot.

Roasting on the roasting sheet

Illustration of two meat cuts on a griddle plate (no text or symbols)

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.

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.

For roasting, use only cookware with oven-proof handles.

Prepare large roast directly in the universal pan, without using the wire shelf.

Smaller cuts of meat 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 wire shelf.

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 the inside
Use a lower roasting temperature.

Note: Higher temperatures do not shorten roasting times (done on the outside, raw on the inside). Choose slightly longer roasting times.

Very moist roasts (e.g. roasts prepared with water) cause a lot of steam to generate in the oven that condenses on the oven door.
You can let the steam escape from the oven and thereby reduce the forming of water droplets by briefly and carefully opening the oven door (once or twice, in case of longer roasting times more often).

Grilling

Notes on grilling

Exercise CAUTION when grilling. Always keep children at a safe distance.

Always close the oven door when grilling.

The grilling temperatures are variable.

Always use the wire shelf and the universal pan.

Always place food to be grilled in the centre of the wire shelf.

If the grill element (heating element) switches OFF automatically, the overheating protection was activated.

The radiator will be reactivated after a short period of time.

Place the wire shelf into the universal pan and slide them together into the same shelf position.

Circo-roasting

Illustration of two steamed chicken pieces on a bamboo tray (no text or symbols)

Use this method for particularly crispy poultry or roast (e.g., pork roast with rind).

Use the wire shelf 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

Full-surface grill

Line drawing of a rectangular baking tray with multiple curved slots (no text or symbols)

Centre-area grill

Line drawing of a rectangular baking tray with four curved food items (no text or symbols)

Used for smaller dishes having little height/thickness.

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.

Braising

Roasting on a low heat.

Ideal for all tender meats which are to be cooked rare or to perfection.

Advantages:

– cooking point reliably reached.
– very juicy, tender and soft meat
- braised meat does not require rest times and can easily be kept warm at a low temperature.

Note

Use fresh, clean meat only. Brown the meat at a very hot temperature and for an adequately long time.

Do not cover meat which is being cooked in the oven. Do not turn even fairly large pieces of meat.

No rest time required after braising. After braising, the inside of the meat always looks rare. This does not signify that the cooking time was too short.

All tender cuts of beef, pork, veal and lamb are suitable for this cooking method. The size of the piece of meat is crucial for browning and subsequent cooking times.

Switching on

1. Tap the ☐ button and select Braising in the submenu. Acknowledge selection.

Please wait is indicated on the text display.

1. As soon as your appliance has heated through (approx. 10 min.), a signal is emitted and you can put the meat in the oven. The text on the text display switches from Please wait to Insert food.

Defrosting and warming

Defrosting with Circotherm

Important heating system information

For defrosting and cooking of frozen or deep-frozen foods, use only the circotherm 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.

Shelf position

With 1 baking sheet: Shelf position 1

With 2 baking sheets: Shelf position 1 + 3.

All stated times are approximate guidelines that vary with the shape and volume of deep-frozen products.

Defrosting and cooking

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.

Cleaning and Care

Important cleaning basics

For cleaning, do not use abrasives, no corrosive cleaners, and no sharp objects.

Do not scratch off burnt-in food residues, but soak them off with a moist cloth and dishwashing detergent.

Cleaning products we particularly recommend can be purchased from our customer service.

Appliance exterior

Stainless steel/ aluminium front

Use commercially available detergents applied to a soft, moistened cloth or a chamois.

Do not use aggressive cleaning agents, abrasive sponges, or coarse cleaning cloths.

On heavy soiling use commercial cleaning agents on matted stainless steel/aluminium surfaces.

Please observe the manufacturer's instructions.

Enamel and glass

Use commercially available detergents applied to a soft, moistened cloth or a chamois.

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.

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.

Note:

To prevent soiling use:

• CircoTherm hot air. The CircoTherm hot air mode causes less soiling than the others.
  • the universal pan to bake very moist cakes.
  • suitable utensils (frying pan) for frying.

For easier cleaning

you can switch on the oven lamp and take off the oven door.

For cleaning the mating surface of the oven door at the front of the oven, the door should be removed.

Enamel areas in the oven

Use hot soapy water or a vinegar solution.

It is best to use oven cleaner if the oven is very dirty. Only use oven cleaner in a cold oven.

We recommend cleaning gels because these can be applied with greater precision.

⚠ Do not clean the warm oven with any of the cleaning products specifically designed for this purpose.

Leave the oven open so that it can dry after cleaning.

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.

Catalytic oven surfaces

Cleaning the catalytic surfaces of the oven

The rear panel in the oven is coated with a self-cleaning enamel. The surface cleans itself while the oven is in operation. Large splashes sometimes only disappear after the oven has been used several times.

Should the enamel become slightly stained, this will not affect its self-cleaning properties.

Important information

Never use abrasive cleaning agents. They will scratch and destroy the self-cleaning enamel.

Never clean the self-cleaning enamel with oven cleaner. If you accidentally apply oven cleaner to the self-cleaning enamel, remove immediately with a sponge and plenty of water.

EasyClean® System

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:

Never pour cold water into the oven while it is still hot.

The cleaning system can only be activated when the oven has cooled down completely (room temperature).

Use normal water only, and no distilled water.

Illustration of a hand pouring liquid into a container with a lid, inside an open storage unit (no text or symbols visible)

Switching on:

1. Take the baking sheet and the universal pan out of the oven. The grill can remain in the oven.
2. Carefully pour approx. 0.4 litres of water mixed with a little dishwashing detergent into the floor pan of the oven.

In the case of heavy soil build-up, you may wish to allow the cleaning solution to soak in for a while before you activate the cleaning function.

1. Close the oven door.
2. Tap the Ⓐ button and select EasyClean in the submenu.

EasyClean in operation is indicated on the text display. The cleaning aid runs automatically.

The programme ends after 21 minutes. A signal is emitted and EasyClean end is indicated on the text display.

Not possible? flashes on the text display.

The oven has not cooled down fully.

Switch the oven off and wait until it has cooled down to room temperature.

Restart EasyClean.

After deactivating the oven cleaning function

Rapid drying

Cleaning tips:

Never leave the residual water in the oven for any length of time, e.g. overnight.

1. Open the oven door and pick up the remaining water with a large absorbent sponge cloth.
2. Using the detergent-soaked sponge cloth, a soft brush or a plastic pot scrubber, wipe of the oven interior.
   Stubborn soil remnants can be removed with a cleaning scraper for glass-ceramic.
   Caution: Use the scraper carefully, and do not apply the tool at too flat an angle, because the enamel could be scratched!
3. Calciferous deposits may be removed with a cloth soaked in vinegar.
4. Wipe clean with clear water and dry with a soft cloth (do not forget to wipe under the oven door seal).

Cleaning tips:

If the oven is heavily soiled, the procedure may be repeated after the oven has cooled.

If the oven is heavily soiled with grease, e.g. after roasting or grilling, we would recommend rubbing any stubborn dirt with detergent before activating the oven cleaning function.

After cleaning, leave the oven door in its slanted detent position, i.e., at a 30-degree angle, to allow the interior enamel surfaces to dry thoroughly.

1. Place the oven door into the slanted detent position, at an angle of approximately 30^ .
2. Press the 🔒 button and select Circotherm in the submenu.
3. Set the temperature to 50^ C with the roller. Duration: 5 minutes.
4. Then switch the oven off again.
