Using the oven Operating modes Convection heat Hot air Fan grill Conventional heat Large grill Small grill Bottom heat Defrost Pyrolytic cleaning Description of operating modes The individual operating modes differ in that they involve a combination of different heating elements. The various combinations are suitable for producing a variety of heated areas and hot air circulation paths in the oven, as required for the optimum preparation of various dishes.
Oven functions Convection heat Convection heat mode uses only the heating element in the back wall and the convection fan. The recommended temperature is 150°C. It is also possible to bake on more than one level in Convection heat( ) mode. This means that it is suitable for fruit cakes and stirred cake or yeast-dough, for example a bread plait. Hot air In addition to the Conventional heat elements, Hot air mode uses the convection fan.
Oven functions Large grill (1, 2, 3) (Radiant grill large area) The Large grill( ) uses the entire grill heating element. No specific temperature can be set. You can choose between three settings. The Large grill ( ) is suitable for cooking steaks, cutlets, fish or making toast, and for browning when cooking larger dishes with a gratin topping.
Pyrolytic cleaning(Self cleaning) - P1, P2, P3 Pyrolytic cleaning mode is used to clean the oven. In this mode, the oven is heated to approximately 500°C. At these high temperatures, traces of food are burned up, and can then simply be wiped off after the Pyrolytic cleaning operation. For your safety, during Pyrolytic cleaning the oven door is locked shut. The lock is only released once the temperature falls below 240°C after this mode has been switched off.

Baking General information When baking, use the Convection heat( ( ) modes. ) or Conventional heat Baking tins • When baking in Conventional heat( ) modes, use baking tins with a dark metal or coated surface. • When baking with Convection heat( ), you can also use baking tins with a bright metal surface. • Always place cake tins in the middle of the tray or Wire grill. • When baking with Conventional heat( ), you can place two baking tins side by side in the oven.
Using baking tables The tables contain the temperature settings, baking time and Oven levels for a selection of typical dishes. • Temperatures and baking times should be regarded as reference figures only. The actual values depend on the type of preparation, quality of ingredients and the baking tin in use. • We recommend first selecting a lower temperature and then increasing it if necessary, for example if you want a higher degree of browning or the baking time is too long.

Oven temperature too Set the temperature slightly high lower. Baking time too short Set a longer baking time. The baking time cannot be reduced by setting a higher temperature. Mixture contains too Use less liquid.
Roasting You can use the Fan grill( for roasting. ) or Conventional heat( ) functions TIP: • Use heat resistant dishes when roasting (follow manufacturer’s instructions). • Stainless steel roasting pans are only of limited use, as they reflect the heat to a very large extent. • When using dishes with plastic handles, ensure that the handles are heat resistant (follow manufacturer’s instructions).
Roasting The table contains the required temperatures,roasting times and Oven levels for various kinds of meat. The figures stated are approximate figures only. • We recommend cooking meat and fish weighing over 1 kg in the oven. • For lean meat and fish, use Conventional heat. For all other kinds of meat we recommend Fan grill( )mode. • Add a little liquid to prevent roasting juices or fat from getting burned on. • Turn the food over after about half or two thirds of the cooking time.

Grilling For grilling, you have a choice of 4 different operating modes. Large grill For larger quantities of flat food for grilling, for top-baking in large tins. Choose 1 of 3 power levels (1 low, 2 medium and 3 high), as suitable for the food being grilled. Small grill For smaller quantities of flat food for grilling, for top-baking in small tins. Choose 1 of 3 power levels (1 low, 2 medium and 3 high), as suitable for the food being grilled.
Oven levels Use levels 5 or 6 for grilling flat pieces of meat. Warning : exposed parts of the oven can become hot during grilling. Keep children at a distance. Using the grilling table The grilling times are intended as approximate values only. The actual times may vary depending on the quality of the actual meat or fish. Grilling is particularly suitable for cooking flat pieces of meat and fish. Turn the grilled food over about halfway through the cooking time.
Defrosting Use the "Defrost( )" operating mode to defrost food. Defrosting dishes • Remove the dish from its packaging, put it on a plate and place the plate on the wire grill. • Do not cover the dish with a plate or bowl, as this can considerably extend the defrosting time. • Do not use the liquid produced during defrosting for cooking the dish to avoid the risk of salmonella. Ensure that the liquid produced during defrosting is free to run off the food.
Special functions You can set your oven to low temperatures from 40°C and up. This allows you to make yoghurt, for example, or to let dough rise.
