Baking Oven function: Fan-assisted circulation or Conventional Baking tins • For Conventional , dark metal and non-stick tins are suitable. • For Fan-assisted circulation bright metal tins are also suitable. Oven levels • Baking with Conventional is only possible on one level. • With Fan-assisted circulation you can bake dry cakes and biscuits on 2 baking trays at the same time. 1 baking tray: e.g. oven level 3 1 cake tin: e.g. oven level 1 2 baking trays: e. g.
3 2 26 General Instructions • Insert the tray with the bevel at the front. • With Conventional or Fan-assisted circulation you can also bake with two tins next to one another on the oven shelf at the same time. This does not significantly increase baking time. When frozen foods are used the trays inserted may distort during cooking. This is due to the large difference in temperature between the freezing temperature and the temperature in the oven.

Grill Sizes 1 3 Oven function: Grill setting or Dual gril with maximum temperature Important: Always grill with the oven door closed. The empty oven should always be pre-heated with the grill functions for 5 minutes. • For grilling, use both the oven shelf and the roasting tray together. • The grilling times are guidelines. • Grilling is particularly suitable for flat pieces of meat or fish. Grilling table Food to be grilled Oven level Grilling time 1. Side 2. Side Burgers 4 8-10 mins.
Defrosting Oven function: Defrost (no temperature setting) • Unwrap the food and place it on a plate on the oven shelf. • Do not cover with a plate or bowl, as these can substantially lengthen the defrosting time. • For defrosting, place the shelf in the 1st oven level from the bottom.
Making Preserves Oven function: Bottom heat • For preserving, use only commercially available preserve jars of the same size. • Jars with twist-off or bayonet type lids and metal tins are not suitable. • When making preserves, the first shelf position from the bottom is the one most used. • Use the shelf for making preserves. There is enough room on this for up to six 1-litre preserving jars. • The jars should all be filled to the same level and clamped shut.
Preserves table The times and temperatures for making preserves are for guidance only. Preserve Temperature in°C Cooking time until simmering in mins. Continue to cook at 100°C in mins.
