Instructions for automatic 
programmes

Place the food in the cold oven.

Take the food out of its packaging and weigh it. If it is 
not possible to enter the exact weight, you should round 
it up or down.

When cooking with the automatic programmes, always 
use microwave-safe, heat-resistant ovenware such as 
glass or ceramic. Observe the accessories tips in the 
programme table.

A table of suitable types of food with appropriate weight 
ranges and the accessories required can be found in 
the section after the tips.

It is not possible to set a weight outside the weight 
range.

With many dishes, a signal sounds after a certain time. 
Turn or stir the food.

Defrosting:

As far as possible, freeze and store food flat and in 
portion-sized quantities at -18 °C.

Place the frozen food on a flat ovenproof dish, 
e.g. a glass or porcelain plate.

After defrosting, allow the food to defrost for a 
further 15 to 90 minutes until it reaches an even 
temperature.

Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat or 
poultry. Drain off this liquid when turning meat and 
poultry and under no circumstances use it for other 
purposes or allow it to come into contact with other 
foods.

Only defrost bread and bread rolls in the required 
amounts, as they quickly dry and harden.

Place frozen bread rolls in the oven. Only fully 
baked bread rolls are suitable.

After turning, remove any minced meat that has 
already defrosted.

Whole poultry should be placed in the ovenware 
skin-side down.

Vegetables:

Fresh vegetables: Cut into pieces of equal size. 
Add one tablespoon of water for every 100 g of 
vegetables.

Frozen vegetables: This programme is only suitable 
for blanched, not pre-cooked vegetables. It is not 
suitable for frozen vegetables in cream sauce. Add 
1 to 3 tablespoons of water. Do not add water to 
spinach or red cabbage.

Baked potatoes:

Use potatoes of the same size, washed and dried. Prick 
the skin.

Rice:

Do not use brown or boil-in-the-bag rice.

Add two to two and a half times the amount of water 
to the rice.

Fish:

Fish fillet, fresh: Add 1 to 3 tablespoons of water or 
lemon juice.

Leg of lamb:

Place in the ovenware fatty-side down. The leg of lamb 
should cover two thirds of the ovenware base. Add 
50

­

100 ml of liquid.

Poultry:

Place the chicken in the dish breast-side down.

Place chicken pieces in the ovenware skin-side up.

Pizza, frozen:

Use prebaked, frozen pizza with a thin base.

Standing time:

Some dishes need to rest in the oven after the 
programme has ended.
