IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS To avoid damaging the range, make sure that the connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate correspond to the building's power supply before connecting the appliance. When in doubt, consult a qualified electrician. Do not use a power strip or extension cord to connect the range to electricity. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required level of appliance safety. This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile installations (e.g.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS If the range is installed behind a cabinet door, do not close the door while the appliance is in operation. Heat and moisture can build up behind the closed door and cause damage to the range and to the surrounding cabinets and flooring. Do not close the door until the appliance has completely cooled down. Reaching over a hot cooktop to access the cabinets can result in burns.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Correct use Danger of burns! The Speed Oven becomes hot when in use. Depending on the mode selected, you could burn yourself on the heating elements, oven interior, cooked food or oven accessories. Wear pot holders when placing food in or removing food, or when making adjustments to items being cooked in the hot Speed Oven. Caution: Heating elements may be hot even though they are not glowing. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS To prevent burns, always place oven racks at their desired height while the oven is cool. If the rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let pot holders touch hot heating elements. Open the door carefully to allow hot air or steam to escape before placing or removing food. To prevent burns, allow the heating elements to cool before cleaning by hand. Do not leave the oven door open unnecessarily as someone may trip over it or be injured by it.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard. Please be aware that durations for using microwave power are often considerably shorter when cooking, reheating and defrosting than when using modes without microwave power.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS For modes without microwave power: Plastic containers which are not suitable for use in an oven can melt at high temperatures and can even damage the oven or catch fire. Only use containers which are declared by the manufacturer as being suitable for use in an oven. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on use. Do not leave the microwave oven unattended when reheating or cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other inflammable materials.

Guide to the modes Mode Intensive This mode gently circulates heated air from the lower heating element using the fan to create a brick oven environment. Ideal for baking pizza, focaccia, pies and tarts that require a crisp base and moist toppings. Surround Default Temperature temperature range 350 °F (170 °C) 125–450 °F (50–220 °C) 350 °F (180 °C) 75–475 °F (30–250 °C) This premium baking mode uses heat from the upper and lower elements to create perfect results on all baking recipes.
Guide to the modes Microwave (Solo) Mode Microwave Default power Power level level range 7 1–7 This mode is used to rapidly defrost, reheat and cook food. Combination Modes During Combination modes the heating element and the magnetron turn on and off alternating one after the other. The heating element browns the food and the magnetron helps it cook quickly. The maximum power level is 3. Mode Combi Bake For rapid reheating and cooking of food, brown it at the same time.
Guide to the modes Mode Micro Broil Default temperature Level 3 Temperature range Levels 1–3 For broiling flat meats, e.g. steak, chops, kebabs, etc. The entire Browning / Broiling element will glow red to produce the required infrared heat. The Microwaves will speed up your cooking process without sacrificing the quality of food. The maximum settable microwave power level is 3. Combi Broil This mode distributes hot air from the Browning / Broiling element over the food using the fan.
Microwave power How it works Advantages The Speed Oven contains a highfrequency tube called a magnetron. It converts electrical energy into microwaves. The microwaves are then distributed evenly throughout the metal sides of the oven interior to reach the food from all sides. – Food can generally be cooked in a microwave with little or no liquid or oil. In order for microwaves to reach the food, they must be able to penetrate the cooking container being used.
Selecting cookware Non-microwave safe dishes can suffer damage or cause damage to the oven when using the the Microwave (Solo) and Combination modes with Microwave. Risk of Fire! Microwaves are reflected by metal. The material and shape of containers used affect cooking results and times. Circular and oval containers work best. The food will heat more evenly than in a square container. Containers suitable for microwave use Glassware They pass through glass, porcelain, plastic and cardboard.
Selecting cookware Plastics Plastic containers and plastic disposable containers may only be used with Microwave (Solo) if they have been declared as suitable for microwave use by the manufacturer. To protect the environment, it is best to avoid using single-use containers. Do not leave the Speed Oven unattended when reheating or cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other flammable materials. Plastic cookware must be heatresistant up to at least 230°F (110°C).
Selecting cookware Unsuitable containers for microwave use Dishes with hollow knobs or handles are not suitable for use with microwave modes. Moisture which has gathered in the hollow recesses can cause pressure to build up and the item can explode. Metal Metal reflects microwaves and obstructs the cooking process. Do not use metal containers, aluminum foil, or metal cutlery and dishes with a metallic finish (gold rims or cobalt blue, for example) with Microwave combination programs.
Selecting cookware – Aluminum foil pieces For even defrosting and to avoid overcooking unevenly shaped cuts of meat, poultry, or fish, small pieces of aluminum foil may be used to mask thin pieces for the last few minutes of the program. Make sure that the aluminum foil is at least 3/4" (2 cm) from the oven walls at all times. It must not touch the walls. – Metal meat skewers or clamps These should only be used if they are very small in comparison to the size of the cut of meat.
Selecting cookware Placing the dish in the Speed Oven Lid The lid offers the following advantages: – Prevents too much steam escaping, especially when cooking foods which need longer to cook, such as potatoes. – Speeds up the cooking process. – Prevents food from drying out. – Helps keep the oven interior clean. Insert the glass tray on shelf level 1. The dish containing the food should always be placed in the middle of the glass tray.
Selecting cookware The cover can withstand temperatures of up to 320°F (110°C). At higher temperatures (e.g., in Broil or Convection Bake mode) the plastic may distort and fuse with the food. Only use a cover in Microwave mode . The cover should not form a seal with the container. If the cover is used with a container which only has a narrow diameter, there might not be enough room for condensation to escape through the holes in the side. The cover could get too hot and start to melt.
Energy saving tips – Remove any accessories from the oven that you do not require for cooking. – If possible, do not open the door during a program. If the door is opened during a program that is not using microwave power, the heat in the oven automatically turns off. The fan continues to run. As soon as the door is closed again, the program will continue. – If a temperature range is given, it is best to select the lower temperature and check the food after the shortest cooking time given.

Bake Eating food which has been cooked correctly is important for good health. Only bake cakes, pizza, french fries, etc. until they are golden brown. Do not overcook them. Oven modes Depending on how you would like the food prepared, you can use Convection Bake , Surround , Intensive , or Combi Bake (see “Guide to the modes”).
Bake Temperature Select the suggested temperature if possible. Choosing a baking temperature higher than those recommended may reduce the cooking time, but will lead to uneven browning, and unsatisfactory cooking results. Baking duration Check if the food is cooked at the end of the shortest duration quoted. To check if a cake is ready insert a wooden skewer or toothpick into the center, it should come out clean.
Roast Always observe the USDA guidelines for food safety. Oven modes Convection Bake / Convection Roast , Auto Roast For roasting meat, fish and poultry dishes in which a browned finish is desired. Combi Bake , Combi Auto Roast The program duration is shorter with these modes. Set the microwave to the following power levels for the entire roasting time: – For meat and fish: max. Level 3 – For poultry: max. Level 2 This combination program is not suitable for cooking roast beef or tenderloins.
Roast Temperature Tips Select the suggested temperature if possible. – Resting time: At the end of the program, take the roast out of the oven, cover with aluminum foil and let stand for about 10 minutes. This helps retain the juices when the meat is sliced. If higher temperatures are used, the meat will brown on the outside, but will not be properly cooked through.
Roast Roast Probe When to use the roast probe Some MasterChef programs and Special modes will prompt you to use the roast probe. The roast probe enables the roasting process to be monitored simply and reliably. How the roast probe works The metal tip of the roast probe must be fully inserted into the centre of the food all the way to the handle. There is a temperature sensor in the metal tip which measures the core temperature of the food during cooking.
Roast Important notes regarding the roast probe Please note: – You can place the meat in a pot, on the rack or in the glass tray, depending on the mode selected. Using the roast probe Insert the metal tip of the roast probe fully into the centre of the food all the way to the handle. Place the food in the oven. – The metal tip of the roast probe must be fully inserted into the centre of the food all the way to the handle.
Roast You can also delay the start of the cooking program to a later time. To do this, select the Start at option from the menu. In automatic programs, select Start Later. You can estimate approximately when the food will be ready as the duration of the cooking program is about the same as if you were cooking food without using the roast probe. and Ready at cannot be set because the total time depends on how long it takes for the core temperature to be reached.
Slow Roasting This cooking method is ideal for cooking beef, pork, veal or lamb when a tender result is desired. First, using a cooktop sear the meat on all sides to seal in the juices. Then place the meat in a preheated oven. It will be cooked at a low temperature for an extended time allowing the meat to become very tender. The meat will rest and the juices start to circulate evenly throughout. This gives the meat a very tender and juicy result.
Slow Roasting Using “Slow Roasting” special mode Use the glass tray with the wire oven rack placed on top of it. Select Special Modes . Select Slow Roasting. Set the temperature. Set the core temperature. Follow the instructions in the display. Let the wire oven rack with glass tray preheat in the oven. While the oven is preheating, sear the meat on all sides on the cooktop.
