Here, you can find the ideal settings for preparing
chilled and frozen food.
Only use original accessories supplied with your
appliance. These have been tailored to the cooking
compartment and the operating modes of your
appliance.
Tips
■ The cooking result greatly depends on the quality of
the food. Pre-browning and unevenness may already
be present on the packaged product.
■ Do not use frozen products that are heavily frosted.
Remove any ice on the food.
■ Distribute foods which are in pieces, such as bread
rolls and potato products, so that they are spread
flat and evenly on the accessories. Leave a little
space between the individual pieces.
■ Observe the instructions on the packaging.
Preparing food in combination with a microwave
If you prepare food in combination with a microwave,
you can reduce the cooking time considerably.
Always use heat-resistant cookware that is suitable for
use in microwaves. Observe the notes on cookware
suitable for microwaves. ~ "Microwave" on page 19
In combined operation, you can use conventional
baking tins made from metal. If sparks form between
the baking tin and the wire rack, check whether the
baking tin is clean on the outside. Change the position
of the baking tin on the wire rack. If this does not help,
continue preparing without the microwave. The cooking
time will be extended.
If you use baking tins/dishes made from plastic,
ceramic or glass, the cooking time indicated in the
settings tables will be reduced.
Cooking in combination with a microwave is only
possible on one level.
Take ready-to-eat meals out of the packaging. You can
cook more quickly and evenly using cookware which is
suitable for use in microwaves.
Steam- assisted baking
Certain types of baked item (e.g. yeast-risen pastries)
get a more crispy crust and a more glossy surface if
baked with the steam assist mode. The baked item
does not dry out as much.
Steam-assisted baking is only possible on one level.
Shelf positions
Use the indicated shelf positions.
Baking on one level
When baking on one level, use the following shelf
positions:
■ Tall baked items: Level 2
■ Flat baked items: Level 3
If you are using 4D Hot air as the type of heating, you
can choose between levels 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Baking on two levels
Use 4D hot air. Baked items that are placed into the
oven on trays or in baking tins/dishes at the same time
will not necessarily be ready at the same time.
■ Universal pan: Level 3
Baking tray: Level 1
Accessories
Ensure that you always use suitable accessories and
that they are placed in the oven the right way around.
Wire rack
Slide the wire rack in with the imprint "Microwave"
facing the appliance door, and the outer rail facing
downwards.
Universal pan or baking tray
Slide the universal pan or the baking tray in carefully as
far as the limit stop with the bevelled edge facing the
appliance door.
Greaseproof paper
Only use greaseproof paper that is suitable for the
selected temperature. Always cut greaseproof paper to
size.
Recommended setting values
In the table, you can find the ideal heating type for
various dishes. Temperature and cooking time depend
on the quantity and composition of the product. Setting
ranges are indicated for this reason. Try using the lower
values at first. A lower temperature results 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 dish would only be cooked on
the outside, but would not be fully cooked in the middle.
The setting values apply to dishes 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, the indicated cooking times will be reduced by
several minutes.
Preheating is necessary for selected dishes, and this is
indicated in the table.
Remove unused accessories from the cooking
compartment. This will achieve the best possible
cooking results and energy savings of up to 20 per
cent.
