18 How it works
Here, you can find the ideal settings for various types
of food as well as the best accessories and cookware.
We have perfectly tailored these recommendations to
your appliance.
18.1 General cooking tips
Take note of the following information when cooking all
types of food.
¡
Always preheat the appliance. This will produce the
best cooking results. The cooking times specified
refer to a preheated appliance.
¡
The cooking times specified are intended as a
guide. The actual cooking time depends on the
quality and temperature of the food before cooking,
as well as its weight and thickness.
¡
If you have not made a particular dish before, start
with the shortest specified time. If required, you can
continue to cook the food.
¡
A lower temperature results in more even browning.
If necessary, set a higher temperature.
¡
The values given refer to average quantities for 4
people. If you want to prepare a larger amount, ex-
pect a longer cooking time.
¡
Use the cookware specified. If you use other cook-
ware, the cooking time may be longer or shorter.
¡
You can use any heat-resistant cookware. Place the
cookware in the centre of the wire rack. For large
roasts, you can also use the grill tray or glass tray.
¡
To ensure optimal heat circulation, do not position
the wire racks and baking trays too closely.
¡
To prepare bulky food items, you can remove the
side slide-in rack.
¡
Place the rack directly onto the bottom of the cook-
ing compartment and place the food or roaster onto
the rack. Do not place the food or roaster directly
onto the bottom of the cooking compartment.
¡
Open the cooking compartment door on the pre-
heated oven for a short time only and quickly place
your food inside the appliance.
¡
Always use plates, baking tins or ovenproof dishes
with the wire rack.
¡
Eco hot air:
Energy-saving hot air mode for cakes, meat, bakes
and gratins. Optimal use is made of the residual
heat. Convenience functions remain switched off
(e.g. the interior lighting). The interior temperature
can only be displayed while the appliance is heating
up. Do not preheat the oven. Make sure that the
cooking compartment is cold and that there is noth-
ing already in there when you place the food inside.
Then start the specified cooking time. Always keep
the appliance door closed when cooking. This pre-
vents heat loss.
¡
Full surface grill and Full surface grill + air recircula-
tion:
With these operating modes, there may be a tem-
perature difference between the temperature you
have set and the actual temperature inside the
oven. This is because grilling and browning are fast
cooking processes that require high temperatures.
Consequently, for browning and roasting, a higher
temperature than is actually needed on the surface
of the food is selected.
18.2 Vegetables
Take note of the recommended settings for vegetables.
¡
Oven-roasted or oven-baked vegetables are a good
alternative to pan-fried vegetables. The different fla-
vours become more concentrated and, because the
vegetables are roasted, they have a very distinctive
taste. In addition, very little fat is required to prepare
the vegetables.
¡
Clean and prepare the vegetables and mix them
with a little oil in a bowl. Place them in a heat-resist-
ant dish or in the glass tray or grill tray and spread
them out evenly.
¡
Mix them thoroughly at least once during the cook-
ing process. Once they are cooked, season them
and sprinkle them with fresh herbs to taste.
¡
Vegetables are good as a hot or cold starter or ve-
getarian main course, or as an accompaniment to
meat and fish.
¡
For small portions (for 2-3 people), use a heat-res-
istant dish and place it on the wire rack. If you use
the glass tray or grill tray, the food will start to burn
or dry out.
¡
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for pre-
cooked and frozen products, too.
