cookware and preparation methods.

A lot of steam can build up in the cooking

Note:

compartment when cooking food.

Your appliance is very energy-efficient and radiates very

little heat to its surroundings during operation. Due to

the significant differences in temperature between the

appliance interior and the external parts of the

appliance, condensation may build up on the door, the

control panel or the front panels of adjacent kitchen

cabinets. This is a normal physical phenomenon.

Condensation can be reduced by preheating the oven

or opening the door carefully.

General information

Recommended setting values

The table lists the optimal heating function for various

types of food. The temperature and cooking time

depend on the amount of food and the recipe.For this

reason, the table specifies setting ranges. Try using the

lower value to start with. A lower temperature will result

in more even browning. You can increase the

temperature next time if necessary.

Cooking times cannot be reduced by using

Note:

higher temperatures. The food would only be cooked

on the outside, but would not be fully cooked in the

middle.

The setting values apply to food placed in the cooking

compartment while the cooking compartment is still

cold. This will save energy.If you preheat the oven, you

can reduce the indicated baking times by several

minutes.

Preheating is necessary for selected types of food –

this is indicated in the table. Do not place your food and

accessory into the cooking compartment until it has

finished preheating.

If you wish to follow one of your own recipes, you

should use the settings listed in the table for similar

food as reference. Additional information can be found

in the baking tips listed after the settings tables.

Remove any accessories that are not being used from

the cooking compartment. This will allow you to achieve

optimal cooking results while saving energy.

Gentle hot air heating function

If you wish to use the gentle hot air heating function,

make sure that the cooking compartment is cold and

empty before you place your food inside. Always keep

the appliance door closed when cooking. Only cook on

one level when using this function.

Baking on one level

When baking on one level, use the following shelf

positions:

Position 2 – tall baked items and tins/dishes on the

■

wire rack

Position 3 – shallow baked items and baking trays

■

Baking on two or more levels

Use the hot air heating function. 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 cooking different 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.

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.

Greaseproof paper

Only use greaseproof paper that is suitable for the

selected temperature. Always cut greaseproof paper to

size.
