Causes of damage

General information

Caution!

  • Accessories, foil, greaseproof paper or ovenware on the cooking compartment floor: do not place accessories on the cooking compartment floor. Do not cover the cooking compartment floor with any sort of foil or greaseproof paper. Do not place ovenware on the cooking compartment floor if a temperature of over 50^ has been set. This will cause heat to accumulate. The baking and roasting times will no longer be correct and the enamel will be damaged.
    Aluminium foil: Aluminium foil in the cooking compartment must not come into contact with the door glass. This could cause permanent discolouration of the door glass.
    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.
  • Moisture in the cooking compartment: Over an extended period of time, moisture in the cooking compartment may lead to corrosion. Allow the cooking compartment to dry after use. Do not keep moist food in the closed cooking compartment for extended periods of time. Do not store food in the cooking compartment.
    Cooling with the appliance door open: Following operation at high temperatures, only allow the cooking compartment to cool down with the door closed. Do not trap anything in the appliance door. Even if the door is only left open a crack, the front of nearby furniture may become damaged over time. Only leave the cooking compartment to dry with the door open if a lot of moisture was produced whilst the oven was operating.
  • 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.
  • Extremely dirty seal: If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will not be closed properly when the appliance is in operation. This may result in damage to the front panels of adjacent kitchen units. If the seal is damaged, you can order a new one from our after-sales service.
  • Appliance door as a seat, shelf or worktop: Do not sit on the appliance door, or place or hang anything on it. Do not place any cookware or accessories on the appliance door.
  • Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance model, accessories can scratch the door panel when closing the appliance door. Always insert the accessories into the cooking compartment as far as they will go.
  • Carrying 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.

To make sure you always use the right type of heating to cook your food, we have explained the differences and applications below.

Heating functionTemperatureUse
3D hot air50-275 °CFor baking and roasting on one or more levels. The fan distributes the heat from the ring-shaped heating element in the back panel evenly around the cooking compartment.
Hot air gentle125-275 °CFor gently cooking selected types of food on one level without preheating. The fan distributes the heat from the ring-shaped heating element in the back panel around the cooking compartment. This type of heating is used to measure both the energy consumption in air recirculation mode and the energy-efficiency class.
Pizza setting50-275 °CFor cooking pizza and dishes that require a lot of heat from underneath. The bottom heating element and the ring-shaped heating element in the back panel heat the cooking compartment.
Bottom heating50-275 °CFor cooking in a bain marie and for baking food for extra time. Heat is emitted from below.
Full-surface grillGrill settings: 1 = low 2 = medium 3 = highFor grilling flat items, such as steaks or sausages, for making toast, and for browning food. The whole area below the grill element becomes hot.
Circulated air grilling50-275 °CFor roasting poultry, whole fish and larger pieces of meat. The grill heating element and the fan switch on and off alternately. The fan circulates the hot air around the food.
Top/bottom heating50-275 °CFor traditional baking and roasting on one level. Especially suitable for cakes with moist toppings. Heat is emitted evenly from above and below. This type of heating is used to measure the energy consumption in the conventional mode.

Note: For each heating function, the appliance specifies a default temperature or level. You can accept this value or change it in the appropriate area.

FunctionUse
Rapid heat-upHeats up the cooking compartment quickly without accessories inside it.
Interior lightingSwitches on the interior lighting; all other functions remain off. This makes it easier to clean the cooking compartment, for example.
ProgrammesFor many types of food, the appliance has preprogrammed setting values that you can use. → "Programmes" on page 27
Wet-cleaning aidThe wet-cleaning aid takes the hard work out of cleaning your cooking compartment. → "Cleaning function" on page 20
Pyrolytic self-cleaningThe cleaning function cleans the cooking compartment almost by itself. → "Cleaning function" on page 20

Temperature

Use the temperature selector to set the temperature in the cooking compartment. It can also be used to select the grill and cleaning settings, for example.

The settings appear in the display.

Notes

The temperature can be set in 1-degree increments up to 100^ , and in 5-degree increments thereafter.
For grill setting 3, the appliance lowers the setting to grill setting 1 after approx. 20 minutes.

Temperature display

When the appliance is heating, the symbol lights up in the display.

When you are preheating the appliance, the optimal time to place your food in the cooking compartment is when the symbol first goes out.

Notes

  • The temperature indicator only appears for types of heating for which a temperature is set. It does not appear for grill settings, for example.
    Due to thermal inertia, the temperature that is displayed may differ slightly from the actual temperature inside the cooking compartment.

Cooking compartment

Various functions in the cooking compartment make your appliance easier to use. For example, the cooking compartment is well lit and a cooling fan prevents the appliance from overheating.

Opening the appliance door

If you open the appliance door when the appliance is in operation, the appliance will continue to operate as before.

Interior lighting

With most heating functions and other functions, the interior lighting in the cooking compartment will remain lit while the oven is in operation. When the function selector is turned to bring operation to an end, the lighting will go out.

By turning the function selector to the interior lighting setting, you can switch on the lighting without heating the oven. This makes it easier to clean your appliance, for example.

Cooling fan

The cooling fan switches on and off as required. The hot air escapes above the door.

Caution!

Do not cover the ventilation slots. Otherwise, the appliance may overheat.

So that the cooking compartment cools down more quickly after operation, the cooling fan continues to run for a certain period afterwards.

BALAY 3HB4841X0 - Caution! - 1

Accessories

Your appliance is accompanied by a range of accessories. Here, you can find an overview of the accessories included and information on how to use them correctly.

Control accessories

The accessories supplied may differ depending on the appliance model.

BALAY 3HB4841X0 - Control accessories - 1

It can be used to catch dripping fat when you are grilling directly on the wire rack.

BALAY 3HB4841X0 - Universal pan - 1

Baking tray

For tray bakes and small baked products.

Only use original accessories. They are specially adapted for your appliance.

You can buy accessories from the after-sales service, from specialist retailers or online.

Note: The accessories may deform when they become hot. This does not affect their function. Once they have cooled down again, they regain their original shape.

Inserting accessories

The cooking compartment has five shelf positions. The shelf positions are counted from the bottom up.

In some appliances, the highest shelf position is marked on the cooking compartment by the grill symbol.

Depending on the appliance model, your cooking compartment will have one or more pull-out rails or one or two clip-on pull-out rails. The pull-out rails are fixed in place and cannot be removed. The clip-on pull-out rails can be fitted as required to levels that are not currently being used.

BALAY 3HB4841X0 - Inserting accessories - 1

Always insert accessories between the two guide rods for the shelf position.

Accessories can be pulled out approximately halfway without tipping. You can use the pull-out rails to pull the accessories out further.

Make sure that the accessory is placed behind the lug a on the pull-out rail.

Example in the picture: Universal pan

BALAY 3HB4841X0 - Inserting accessories - 2

Notes

  • Slight differences in colour on the front of the appliance are caused by the use of different materials, such as glass, plastic and metal.
  • Shadows on the door panels, which look like streaks, are caused by reflections made by the interior lighting.
    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 does not impair the anti-corrosion protection.

Keeping the appliance clean

Always keep the appliance clean and remove dirt immediately so that stubborn deposits of dirt do not build up.

BALAY 3HB4841X0 - Risk of burns! - 1

Warning

Risk of harm to health!

The cleaning function heats up the cooking compartment to a very high temperature so that food remnants left over from roasting, grilling and baking will burn off. This process releases vapours, which can irritate the mucous membranes. While the cleaning function is running, keep the kitchen well ventilated. Do not remain in the room for long periods. Keep children and pets away. Follow the instructions even when using the Delayed start function with a delayed end time.

Before running the cleaning function

The cooking compartment must be empty. Remove any accessories, cookware or shelf rails from the cooking compartment. Please see the relevant section for information on how to remove the rails. "Rails" on page 22

Clean the appliance door and along the edges of the cooking compartment in the area around the seal. Do not scrub or remove the seal.

Clean the inner door panel using hot soapy water and a dish cloth. Dry with a soft cloth. If the cooking compartment is heavily soiled, use oven cleaner.

BALAY 3HB4841X0 - Before running the cleaning function - 1

Programmes

You can prepare food very easily using the various programmes. Simply select a programme and the appliance will apply the optimal settings for you.

To achieve good results, the cooking compartment must not be too hot. Allow the cooking compartment to cool before starting the programme.

Cookware

Follow the instructions provided by the cookware manufacturer.

Suitable cookware:

Use cookware that is heat-resistant up to 300^ .

Glass or glass ceramic cookware is best. The grill can heat through the glass lid and the roast will become nice and crispy on the outside.

Roasting dishes made from stainless steel are not ideal. Their shiny surface reflects a high proportion of the radiated heat. The food will brown less readily and the meat will be less well done. If you are using a stainless steel roasting dish, remove the lid once the programme has come to an end. Grill the meat at grill setting 3 for an additional 8 to 10 minutes.

The food will brown more quickly from below if you use a roasting dish made of enamelled steel, cast iron or die-cast aluminium. Add a little more liquid.

Tip: If the gravity is too light or too dark, add less or more liquid next time.

Unsuitable cookware:

Cookware made of bright, shiny aluminium, unglazed clay or plastic, and cookware with plastic handles, is not suitable.

Size of the cookware:

The roast should cover around two thirds of the cookware base. This will ensure that you get good meat juices.

The distance between the meat and the lid should be at least 3cm . The meat may expand as it roasts.

Cookware for programme 1:

We recommend using paella pans of the following sizes:

For 3 to 4 portions: Paella pan with a base diameter of 24~cm .
For 5 to 6 portions: Paella pan with a base diameter of 28~cm .

BALAY 3HB4841X0 - Cookware for programme 1: - 1

Preparing food

Use fresh food, ideally at fridge temperature.

Tip: Very lean meat will remain more succulent if it is covered with rashers of bacon.

Weigh your food. You need the weight in order to set the programme. Always round up to the nearest weight.

Place the cookware onto the wire rack. Always place the ovenware into the cooking compartment without preheating it.

Pre-programmed recipes

The specific quantities for preparing each dish are listed for the pre-programmed recipes.

Note: When using the pre-programmed recipes, neither the cooking time nor the end time can be changed.

Tips

It is important to keep to the order specified in the recipe as this affects the size of the cake when it is cooked.
The cake will rise as it is cooked, but will shrink again as it cools.
- When the cake has finished cooking, small cracks in various places on the surface of the cake are normal.
Once the cake is cooked, open the oven door and wait 10 to 15 minutes before taking the tin out of the oven so that the filling has a chance to settle without forming large cracks.
The baking tin must be either black or dark-coloured and must be round. It must not be made from aluminium.
Recommendations for this recipe:

  • For cakes weighing between 800 ~g and 900 ~g , use a 24 ~cm baking tin.
  • For cakes weighing between 1000g and 1400g , use a 26 cm baking tin.

The dough for the base of the cake is crumbly and may disintegrate when rolled out. Once it has been rolled out, carefully spread the dough evenly over the baking tin.

Setting a programme

The oven chooses the optimal heating function and the time and temperature setting. All you need to do is set the weight.

The weight that you set must be within a specific weight range.

  1. Use the function selector to select the function. P Q I will appear on the display panel.

Tested for you in our cooking studio

Here, you can find a selection of dishes and the ideal settings for them. We will show you which type of heating and temperature are best suited to your dish. You will get information on suitable cooking accessories and the height at which they should be placed in the oven. You will also get tips about cookware and preparation methods.

Note: A lot of steam can build up in the cooking compartment when cooking food.

Your appliance is very energy-efficient and radiates very little heat to its surroundings during operation. Due to the high difference in temperature between the appliance interior and the external parts of the appliance, condensation may build up on the door, control panel or adjacent kitchen cabinet panels. This is a normal physical phenomenon. Condensation can be reduced by preheating the oven or opening the door carefully.

General information

The table lists the optimal heating type for various types of food. The temperature and cooking time are dependent on the quantity of food and the recipe. Settings ranges are indicated for this reason. Try using the lower values to start with. A lower temperature will result in more even browning. You can use a higher setting next time if necessary.

Note: Cooking times cannot be reduced by using higher temperatures. The food would only be cooked on the outside, but would not be fully baked in the middle.

The setting values apply to food that is placed into a cold cooking compartment. By doing so, you can make energy savings of up to 20 per cent. If you preheat the oven, you can reduce the indicated baking times by several minutes.

Preheating is necessary for selected food, and this is indicated in the table. Do not place your food or accessories into the cooking compartment until it has finished preheating.

If you wish to follow one of your own recipes when baking, you should use the setting values listed for similar food in the table as reference. Additional information can be found in the baking tips listed after the settings tables.

Remove unused accessories from the cooking compartment. This will ensure that you achieve the best possible cooking results and energy savings of up to 20 per cent.

Gentle hot air heating function

Gentle hot air is an intelligent heating function that allows you to gently cook meat, fish and baked items. The appliance optimally controls the supply of energy to the cooking compartment. The food is cooked in phases using residual heat. This means that it remains more succulent and browns less. Depending on the method of preparation and the type of food, it is possible to save energy. If you open the appliance door before the food has finished cooking or if you preheat the appliance, you may not be able to achieve this result.

Only use genuine accessories for your appliance. These have been tailored to the cooking compartment and the heating functions of your appliance.Remove any accessories that are not being used from the cooking compartment.

Place the food into the empty cooking compartment before the oven is heated up. Always keep the appliance door closed when cooking. Only cook on one level when using this function.

The Gentle hot air heating function is used to measure both the energy consumption in air recirculation mode and the energy efficiency class.

Baking on one level

When baking on one level, use the following shelf positions:

Tall baked goods or tin on wire rack: Level 2
Flat baked goods or goods in a baking tray: Level 3

Baking on two or more levels

Use hot air. Items that are placed in the oven on baking trays or in baking tins/dishes at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.

Baking on two levels:

Universal pan: Position 3
Baking tray: Position 1
Baking tins/dishes on the wire rack
First wire rack: Position 3
Second wire rack: Position 1

Baking on three levels:

Baking tray: Position 5

Universal pan: Position 3

Baking tray: Position 1

You can cut energy use by up to 45% by preparing items at the same time. Position baking tins/dishes either next to one another or offset on different shelves so that they are not directly one above the other in the cooking compartment.

BALAY 3HB4841X0 - Baking on two or more levels - 1

Accessories

Only use original accessories supplied with your appliance. These have been tailored to the cooking compartment and the operating modes of your appliance.

Ensure that you always use suitable accessories and that they are placed in the oven the right way around. "Accessories" on page 11

Greaseproof paper

Only use greaseproof paper that is suitable for the selected temperature. Always cut greaseproof paper to size.

Cakes and pastries

Your appliance offers you a range of heating types for the preparation of cakes and small baked items. You can find the ideal settings for many dishes in the settings tables.

Also refer to the notes in the section on allowing dough to rise.

Baking tins

For optimal cooking results, we recommend using dark-coloured metal baking tins.

Tinplate baking tins, ceramic dishes and glass dishes extend baking time and mean that the baked item will not brown evenly.

If you are using silicone moulds, follow the manufacturer's instructions and recipes. Silicone moulds are often smaller than normal baking tins. Quantity and recipe specifications may vary.

Frozen products

Do not use frozen products that are heavily frosted. Remove any ice on the food.

Some frozen products may be unevenly pre-baked. Uneven browning may remain even after baking.

Bread and rolls

Caution!

Never pour water into the hot cooking compartment or place cookware containing water onto the bottom of the cooking compartment. The change in temperature can cause damage to the enamel.

Some food turns out better if it is baked in several stages. These dishes are indicated in the table.

The setting values for bread dough apply to both dough placed on a baking tray and dough placed in a loaf tin.

Baking tips

You want to find out whether the baked item is completely cooked in the middle.Push a cocktail stick into the highest point on the baked item. If the cocktail stick comes out clean with no dough residue, the baked item is ready.
The baked item collapses.Next time, use less liquid. Alternatively, set the temperature 10 °C lower and extend the baking time. Adhere to the specified ingredients and preparation instructions in the recipe.
The baked item has risen in the middle but is lower around the edge.Only grease the base of the springform cake tin. After baking, loosen the baked item carefully with a knife.
The fruit juice overflows.Next time, use the universal pan.
Small baked items 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 well and brown on all sides.
The baked item is too dry.Set the temperature 10 °C higher and shorten the baking time.
The baked item is too light in colour overall.If the shelf position and the accessories are correct, then you should increase the temperature if necessary or extend the baking time.
The baked item is too light on top, and too dark underneath.Bake the cake one level higher in the oven the next time.
The baked item is too dark on top, and too light underneath.Bake the cake one level lower in the oven the next time. Select a lower temperature and extend the baking time.
The baked item is too dark in a tin or loaf tin.Place the baking tray in the middle of the accessory, not directly against the back wall.
The baked item is too dark in colour overall.Select a lower temperature next time and extend the baking time if necessary.
The baked item is unevenly browned.Select a slightly lower temperature. Protruding greaseproof paper can affect the air circulation. Always cut greaseproof paper to size. Ensure that the baking tin does not stand directly in front of the openings in the cooking compartment back wall. When baking small items, you should use similar sizes and thicknesses wherever possible.
You were baking on several levels. The items on the top baking tray are darker than those on the lower baking tray.Always select hot air when baking on several levels. Baked items that are placed into the oven on trays or in baking tins at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.
The baked item looks good, but is not cooked properly in the middle.Use a lower temperature and bake slightly longer; if necessary, add slightly less liquid. For baked items with a moist topping, bake the base first. Sprinkle it with almonds or breadcrumbs and then place the topping on top.
The baked item cannot be turned out of the dish when it is turned upside down.Allow the baked item to cool down for 5 to 10 minutes after baking. If it still sticks, carefully loosen it around the edges again using a knife. Turn the baked item upside down again and cover it several times with a cold, wet cloth. Next time, grease the baking tin and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.

Bakes and gratins

Your appliance offers you a range of heating types for preparing bakes. You can find the ideal settings for many dishes in the settings tables.

How well cooked a bake is will depend on the size of the cookware and the depth of the bake.

Use wide, shallow cookware for bakes and gratins. In deep, narrow cookware, food requires more time to cook, and the top will be darker.

Always use the indicated shelf positions.

You can prepare dishes on one level using a baking tin/ dish or the universal pan.

Baking tins/dishes on the wire rack: Level 2
Universal pan: Level 3

By preparing several dishes at the same time, you can make energy savings of up to 45 per cent. Position baking tins/dishes next to one another in the cooking compartment.

Poultry, meat and fish

Your appliance offers you a range of heating types for preparing poultry, meat and fish. You can find the ideal settings for certain dishes in the settings tables.

Roasting on the wire rack

Roasting on the wire rack is particularly well suited for larger poultry or for multiple pieces at the same time.

Slide the universal pan into the oven at the indicated shelf position with the wire rack attached. Ensure that the wire rack is correctly positioned on the universal pan. "Accessories" on page 11

Pour up to 12 litres of water into the universal pan, depending on the size and type of the roast. Any dripping liquid is caught. You can make a sauce from these juices. In addition, less smoke is generated, and the cooking compartment stays cleaner.

Roasting in cookware

BALAY 3HB4841X0 - Roasting in cookware - 1

WarningRisk of injury caused by shattering glass!

Place hot glass cookware on a dry mat after cooking. If the surface is damp or cold, the glass may crack.

BALAY 3HB4841X0 - WarningRisk of injury caused by shattering glass! - 1

WarningRisk of scalding!

Very hot steam may escape when opening the lid after cooking. Lift the lid at the rear, so that the hot steam can escape away from you.

Only use cookware which is suitable for use in an oven. Glass cookware is best. Check whether the cookware fits in the cooking compartment.

Shiny roasting dishes made from stainless steel or aluminium reflect heat like a mirror and are therefore not particularly suitable. The poultry, meat and fish cooks slower and does not brown so well. Use a higher temperature and/or a longer cooking time.

Observe the manufacturer's instructions for your roasting cookware.

Uncovered cookware

To cook poultry, meat and fish, it is best to use a deep roasting tin. Place the tin onto the wire rack. If you do not have any suitable cookware, use the universal pan.

Covered cookware

When cooking with covered cookware, the cooking compartment remains considerably cleaner. Ensure that the lid fits well and closes properly. Place the cookware onto the wire rack.

Poultry, meat and fish can also become crispy in a covered roasting dish. Simply use a roasting dish with a glass lid and set a higher temperature.

Grilling

Keep the appliance door closed when using the grill. Never grill with the appliance door open.

Place the food to be grilled on the wire rack. In addition, slide the universal pan in at least one shelf position lower, with the slanted edge facing the appliance door. Any dripping fat will be caught.

When grilling, try wherever possible to use pieces of food which are of a similar thickness and weight. This will allow them to brown evenly and remain succulent and juicy. Place the food to be grilled directly onto the wire rack.

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

Do not add salt to the meat until it has been grilled. Salt draws water from the meat.

Notes

  • The grill element switches itself continuously on and off; this is normal. The grill setting determines how frequently this occurs.
    Smoke may be produced when grilling.

Meat thermometer

Depending on your appliance's features, you may have a meat thermometer. You can cook accurately using a meat thermometer. Read important notes on using the meat thermometer in the corresponding chapter. There, you can find notes on inserting the meat thermometer, the possible heating types and additional information.

The setting values are based on the assumption that unstuffed, chilled, ready-to-roast poultry, meat or fish is placed into a cold cooking compartment.

In the table, you can find specifications for poultry, meat and fish with default values for the weight. If you wish to prepare heavier poultry, meat or fish, always use the lower temperature. If roasting several joints, use the weight of the heaviest piece as a basis for determining the cooking time. The individual pieces should be approximately equal in size.

The larger the poultry, meat or fish is, the lower the cooking temperature and the longer the cooking time.

Turn the poultry, meat and fish after approx. 1/2 to 3/3 of the indicated time.

Poultry

When cooking duck or goose, pierce the skin on the underside of the wings. This allows the fat to run out. If using duck breast, score the skin. Do not turn duck breasts.

Add some liquid to the poultry in the dish. Cover the base of the ovenware with approx. 1 - 2 ~cm of liquid.

When you turn poultry, ensure that the breast side or the skin side is underneath at first.

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.

Meat

Baste lean meat with fat as required or cover it with strips of bacon.

When roasting, add a little liquid if the meat is lean. A covering of approx. 12 cm depth should be applied to the base of any glass cookware.

Score the rind crosswise. If you turn the joint when cooking, ensure that the rind is underneath at first.

When the joint is ready, turn off the oven and allow it to rest for another 10 minutes in the cooking compartment. This allows the meat juices to be better distributed. Wrap the joint in aluminium foil if necessary. The recommended resting time is not included in the cooking time indicated.

It is more convenient to roast and braise meat in cookware. You can take the joint out of the cooking compartment more easily in the cookware, and prepare the sauce in the cookware itself.

The quantity of liquid is dependent on the type of meat, the cookware material and also on whether or not a lid is used. If preparing meat in an enamelled or dark metal roasting dish, it will need a little more liquid than if cooked in glass cookware.

The steam evaporates in the cookware when roasting. Carefully pour in more liquid if required.

The distance between the meat and the lid should be at least 3cm . The meat may rise.

If necessary, braise the meat first by searing it. Add water, wine, vinegar or a similar liquid to the braising liquid. A covering approx. 1-2 cm deep should be applied to the base of the cookware.

Fish

Fish cooked whole does not have to be turned. Place the whole fish into the cooking compartment in swimming position with the dorsal fin facing upwards. Placing half a potato or a small oven-proof container in the stomach cavity of the fish will provide stability.

You can tell when the fish is cooked because the dorsal fin can be removed easily.

When stewing, add two to three tablespoons of liquid and a little lemon juice or vinegar into the cookware.

Tips on roasting and braising

The cooking compartment becomes very dirty.Prepare your food in an enclosed roasting dish with higher temperature or use the grill tray. You will achieve the best roasting results if you use the grill tray. The grill tray can be bought later as a special accessory.
The roast is too dark and the crackling is burned in places, and/or the roast is too dry.Check the shelf position and temperature. Select a lower temperature the next time and reduce the roasting time if necessary.
The crackling is too thin.Increase the temperature or switch on the grill briefly at the end of the roasting time.
The roast looks good but the juices are burnt.Next time, use a smaller roasting dish and add more liquid if necessary.
The roast looks good but the juices are too clear and watery.Next time, use a larger roasting dish and add less liquid if necessary.
The meat gets burned during braising.The roasting dish and lid must fit together well and close properly. Reduce the temperature and add more liquid when braising if necessary.

Acrylamide in foodstuffs

Acrylamide is mainly produced in grain and potato products prepared at high temperatures, such as potato crisps, chips, sliced bread, bread rolls, bread or fine baked goods (biscuits, gingerbread, spiced biscuit).

Tips for keeping acrylamide to a minimum
GeneralKeep cooking times as short as possible. Cook food until it is golden brown, but not too dark. Large, thick pieces of food contain less acrylamide.
BakingWith top/bottom heating at max. 200 °C. With hot air at max. 180 °C.
BiscuitsWith top/bottom heating at max. 190 °C. With hot air at max. 170 °C. Egg or egg yolk reduces the production of acrylamide.
Oven chipsSpread out a single layer evenly on the baking tray. Cook approx. 400-600 g at once on a baking tray so that the chips do not dry out and become crunchy.

Drying

You can achieve outstanding drying results with hot air. With this type of preserving, flavours are concentrated as a result of the dehydration.

Only use unblemished, fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs and wash them thoroughly. Line the wire rack with greaseproof paper or parchment paper. Drain the excess water from the fruit and then dry it.

If necessary, cut it into equal chunks or thin slices. Place unpeeled fruit onto the dish with the sliced surfaces facing upwards. Ensure that neither fruit nor mushrooms overlap on the wire rack.

Grate vegetables and then blanch them.Drain the blanched vegetables thoroughly and spread them evenly on the wire rack.

Dry herbs on the stem. Position the herbs evenly and slightly heaped on the wire rack.

Use the following shelf positions for drying:

1 wire rack: Position 3
2 wire racks: Positions 3 + 1

Turn very juicy fruit and vegetables several times. After drying, remove the dried fruit and vegetables from the paper immediately.

In the table, you will find settings for drying various foodstuffs. The temperature and drying time are dependent on the type, moisture, ripeness and

thickness of the food to be dried.The longer you leave the food to be dried, the better it will be preserved.The thinner the slices are, the quicker the drying process will be and the more flavour the dried food will retain. For this reason, the table specifies setting ranges.

If you wish to dry food that is not listed in the table, you should use similar foodstuffs in the table as a reference.

Preserving

You can preserve fruit and vegetables using your appliance.

Warning - Risk of injury!

If the food is preserved incorrectly, the preserving jars may burst. Follow the instructions for preserving.

Jars

Only use clean and undamaged preserving jars. Only use heat-resistant, clean and undamaged rubber rings. Check clips and clamps in advance.

For each preserving process, only use preserving jars that are the same size and contain the same food. In the cooking compartment, you can preserve the contents of a maximum of six 12 , 1 or 112 -litre preserving jars at the same time. Do not use jars that are larger or taller than this. The lids could rupture.

Preserving jars must not touch one another in the cooking compartment during the preserving process.

Preparing fruit and vegetables

Only use fruit and vegetables that are in good condition. Wash them thoroughly.

Peel, core and chop fruit and vegetables appropriate to their type and fill the preserving jars with them up to approx. 2 cm below the rim.

Fruit: Fill the preserving jars with the fruit along with a hot, skimmed sugar solution (approx. 400ml for a 1-litre jar). For one litre of water:

Approx. 250 g sugar for sweet fruit
Approx. 500 g sugar for sour fruit

Vegetables: Fill the jars with the vegetables along with hot, boiled water.

Wipe the rims of the jars, as they must be clean. Place a damp rubber ring and a lid on each jar. Seal the jars with the clips. Place the jars into the universal pan so that they do not touch each other. Pour 500 ml hot water (approx. 80^ ) into the universal pan. Use the settings indicated in the table.

Ending the preserving process

Fruit: After a short while, small bubbles will form at short intervals. Switch off the appliance once all preserving jars are bubbling. Remove the jars from the cooking compartment after the indicated residual heating time.

Vegetables: After a short while, small bubbles will form at short intervals. As soon as all preserving jars are bubbling, reduce the temperature to 120^ and allow the jars to continue to bubble in the closed cooking compartment as indicated in the table. After this time has elapsed, switch off the appliance and make use of the residual heat for several minutes as indicated in the table.

After preserving, remove the jars from the cooking compartment and place them onto a clean cloth. Do not place these hot jars onto a cold or damp surface, as they may crack. Cover the preserving jars to protect them from draughts. Only remove the clamps once the jars are cold.

The indicated times in the settings table are average values for preserving fruit and vegetables. They may be influenced by room temperature, the number of jars, quantity, heat and quality of the jar contents. The specifications are based on 1-litre round jars. Before you switch off the appliance or change the cooking mode, check whether the contents of the jars are bubbling as they should. The bubbling process starts after approx. 30-60 minutes.

Prove dough

Your yeast dough will prove considerably more quickly using this heating function than at room temperature and will not dry out. Do not start the appliance if the cooking compartment is not completely cool.

Always allow yeast dough to prove twice. Use the settings indicated in the settings tables for the first and second proving stages (dough fermentation stage and final fermentation stage).

Dough fermentation

Place the dough into a heat-resistant bowl and place this onto the wire rack. Use the settings indicated in the table.

Do not open the appliance door while the dough is proving, otherwise moisture will escape. Do not cover the dough.

Condensation builds up during the proving process, which steams up the door panel. Wipe out the cooking compartment after dough proving.Remove any limescale with a little vinegar and wipe with clean water.

Final fermentation

Place your dough into the oven at the shelf position indicated in the table.

If you want to preheat the oven, the final fermentation stage takes place outside the appliance in a warm place.

The temperature and proving time are dependent on the type and quantity of the ingredients. For this reason, the values indicated in the settings table are intended as a guide only.

Defrosting

For defrosting frozen fruit, vegetables and baked items. Poultry, meat and fish should ideally be defrosted in the refrigerator. Not suitable for cream cakes or cream gateaux.

Use the following shelf positions when defrosting:

1 wire rack: Position 2
2 wire racks: Positions 3 + 1

The times indicated in the table are intended as a guide only. They are dependent on the quality, freezing temperature (-18^ C) and composition of the food. Time ranges are indicated. Set the shortest time to begin with, and then extend the time if necessary.

Tip: . Food that has been frozen in thinner pieces or in portions defrosts more quickly than food items frozen in a block.

Remove frozen food from its packaging and place it onto the wire rack in suitable cookware.

  • Redistribute the food or turn it once or twice as it defrosts. Large pieces of food should be turned several times. As the food defrosts, break up any clumps and remove items which have already defrosted from the cooking compartment.

To allow the temperature to equalise, leave the defrosted food to rest for another 10 to 30 minutes in the appliance after switching it off.
