Defrost

This 

@

 Defrost setting is most ideal for frozen goods.

The defrosting time will depend on the type and quantity of the 

food.
Observe the instructions on the packaging.
Take frozen food out of its packaging and place in suitable 

ovenware on the wire rack.
Place poultry on a plate with the breast side facing down.

Note: 

The oven light does not come on at temperatures of less 

than 60 °C. This enables precise temperature regulation.

Desiccation

Use unblemished fruit and vegetables only and wash it 

thoroughly.
Drain off the excess water, then wipe it dry.

Insert the universal pan at shelf height 1, insert wire rack at 

shelf height 3. Line the universal pan and the wire rack with 

greaseproof or parchment paper.
Turn very juicy fruit or vegetables several times. Remove fruit 

and vegetables from the paper as soon as they have dried.

Acrylamide in foodstuffs

Tips for keeping acrylamide to a minimum when preparing food
General

Keep cooking times to a minimum.

Cook meals until they are golden brown, but not too dark.

Large, thick pieces of food contain less acrylamide.

Baking

With top/bottom heating max. 200 °C.
With 3D hot air or hot air max.180 °C.

Biscuits

With top/bottom heating max. 190 °C.
With 3D hot air or hot air max. 170 °C.
Egg or egg yolk reduces the production of acrylamide.

Oven chips

Spread evenly over the baking tray, in a single layer. Bake at least 400 g per baking tray 

so that the chips do not dry out
