Ovenware
Use a heat-resistant dish. The baking tray is also suitable for
grilling larger items.
We recommend that you use a glass roasting dish. The lid of the
roasting dish should fit well and close properly.
If you use an enamel roasting dish, you must add a little more
liquid.
Because meat does not brown so much in stainless-steel dishes,
it may not be cooked all the way through. Increase the roasting
time.
Always place the baking tin in the centre of the wire rack.
Place hot glass roasting dishes on a dry trivet. If the trivet is wet or
cold, the glass may crack.
Roasting
Add in a little liquid if the meat is lean. Cover the base of the
ovenware with approx. ½ cm of liquid.
Add liquid generously for pot roasts. Cover the base of the
ovenware with approx. 1 - 2 cm of liquid.
The amount of liquid depends on the type of meat and the
material the ovenware is made of. If preparing meat in an
enamelled roasting dish, it will need a little more liquid than if
cooked in glass ovenware.
Roasting dishes made from stainless steel are not ideal. The meat
cooks more slowly and browns less fully. Use a higher
temperature and/or a longer cooking time.
Tips for grilling
When grilling, preheat the oven for approx. 3 minutes, before
placing the food into the cooking compartment.
Always grill with the oven door closed.
As far as possible, the pieces of food you are grilling should be of
equal thickness. This will allow them to brown evenly and remain
succulent and juicy.
Turn the food you are grilling after
Z
of the time.
Do not add salt to steaks until they have been grilled.
Place the food to be grilled directly on the wire rack. If you are
grilling a single piece, the best results are achieved by placing it in
the centre of the wire rack.
Also insert the baking tray at level 1. The meat juices are
collected in the pan and the oven is kept cleaner.
When grilling, do not insert the baking tray or universal pan at
level 4 or 5. The high heat distorts it and the cooking compartment
can be damaged when removing it.
The grill element switches on and off continually. This is normal.
The grill setting determines how frequently this will happen.

The values in the table apply to dishes placed in a cold oven.
Turn the pieces of meat after
Z
of the cooking time.
Always place items in the centre of the wire rack.
If you are grilling directly on the wire rack, you should insert the
baking tray at level 1. The fish juices are collected in the pan and
the oven is kept cleaner.
You want to bake on two levels at the
same time.
If you want to bake on two levels at the same time, always use the
<
3D hot air setting.
Insert the baking trays at levels 1 and 3.
If you wish to bake with 2 baking trays, the baking time must be increased from the time
required for 1 baking tray. Dishes that are placed in the oven at the same time will not nec
-
essarily be ready at the same time. Dishes that are ready can be removed, while the rest
continues to cook.
If necessary, the shelf positions can be swapped or the baking trays rotated. Note that, if you
are baking with 2 baking trays, the heat from one baking tray is transferred to the other; the
baking quality will therefore be reduced slightly in comparison to baking with just one baking
tray.
Dishes that can be prepared on 2 levels at the same time are specified in the cooking table.
Protruding greaseproof paper can affect the air circulation. For this reason, always trim
greaseproof paper to fit the baking tray.
The pieces of dough are sticking together
when the yeast rolls are baked.
There must be a distance of about 2 cm between the bread rolls. This gives enough space
for the bread rolls to expand and bake evenly on all sides.
Condensation forms when you bake
moist cakes.
Steam can form during baking, which escapes via the door. The steam may settle and form
water droplets on the control panel or on the fronts of adjacent units. This is a natural proc
