Overview of functions
34
The oven has a wide range of functions for preparing a variety of foods.
Due to country-specific preferences for preparation of food, default temperatures
and temperature ranges in °F and °C do not correspond. The temperature values
have been defined as given in the chart.
Function
Description
Surround
For baking and roasting traditional recipes, cooking
soufflés and cooking at low temperatures.
If using an older recipe or cookbook, set the oven
temperature 10 °C lower than that recommended. This
won't change cooking times.
Bake
Use this function towards the end of cooking to brown
the base of a cake, quiche or pizza.
Broil
For broiling thin cuts (e.g. steaks) and for browning
baked dishes.
Defrost
For the gentle defrosting of frozen food.
Rapid PreHeat
For rapid preheating of the oven cavity. Once the desired
temperature has been reached the oven mode must be
selected.
Convection Bake
For baking and roasting. You can cook on several shelf
levels at the same time. Because the fan distributes the
heat to food straight away, it allows you to use a lower
temperature than you would with Surround
.
Intensive
For baking cakes with moist toppings. Intensive mode is
not suitable for baking thin items or for roasting as the
juices will become too dark.
Convection Broil
For broiling thicker items (e.g. chicken). Because the fan
distributes the heat to food straight away, it allows you to
use a lower temperature than you would with Broil
.
Gentle Bake
Suitable for small amounts, e.g. frozen pizzas, bake-off
rolls, biscuits and for meat dishes and roasts. You can
save up to 30 % energy compared to cooking with a
standard oven function as long as the door is kept shut
during cooking.
The oven lighting does not switch on in this function.
