Saving energy
ʋ
Only preheat the oven if this is specified in the recipe or in
the operating instruction tables.
ʋ
Use dark, black lacquered or enamelled baking tins. They
absorb the heat particularly well.
ʋ
Open the oven door as infrequently as possible while you are
cooking, baking or roasting.
ʋ
It is best to bake several cakes one after the other. The oven
is still warm. This reduces the baking time for the second
cake. You can also place two loaf tins next to each other.
ʋ
For longer cooking times, you can switch the oven off
10 minutes before the end of the cooking time and use the
residual heat to finish cooking.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.
Automatic programmes
The automatic programmes help you to achieve elaborate pot
roasts, juicy roasts and delicious stews very easily. You do not
have to worry about turning and basting and the cooking
compartment remains clean.
The cooking result depends on the quality of the meat and the
size and type of ovenware. Use an oven cloth or oven gloves
when you take the finished dish out of the cooking
compartment. The ovenware will be very hot. Take care when
opening the ovenware, as hot steam will escape.
Ovenware
Automatic programmes are only suitable for roasting meat in
ovenware with lid, with the exception of browning a ham joint.
Only use ovenware with a tightly fitting lid. Also observe the
information from the ovenware manufacturer.
Suitable cookware
We recommend heat-resistant cookware (up to 300 °C) made
from glass or glass ceramic. Roasting dishes made from
stainless steel are not ideal. Their shiny surface reflects a high
proportion of the thermal radiation. The food will not brown as
much and the meat will be less well cooked. If you use a
stainless-steel roasting dish, remove the lid once the
programme has finished. Grill the meat at grill setting 3 for 8 to
10 minutes more. The dish browns more quickly if you use a
roasting dish made of enamelled steel, cast iron or diecast
aluminium. Add a little more liquid.
Unsuitable cookware
Cookware made of bright, shiny aluminium, unglazed clay or
plastic, and cookware with plastic handles, is not suitable.
Size of the ovenware
The meat should cover about two thirds of the ovenware base.
This will ensure that you get good meat juices.
The distance between the meat and the lid must be at least
3 cm. The meat may expand during the roasting process.
Preparing the dish
You can use fresh or frozen meat. We recommend fresh chilled
meat.
Select a suitable roasting dish.
Weigh the fresh or frozen meat, poultry or fish. You will find
detailed information in the corresponding tables. You need the
weight in order to make the setting.
Season the meat. Season frozen meat in the same way as fresh
meat.
Many dishes require the addition of liquid. Pour enough liquid
into the ovenware so that the base is covered to a depth of
approx. ½ cm. If the table specifies “a little” liquid, 2-
3 tablespoons are usually sufficient. If the table says “Yes”, feel
free to add more. Observe the instructions given before and in
the tables.
Cover the ovenware with a lid. Place it on the wire rack at
level 2.
For some dishes, it is not possible to set a later end time.
These dishes are marked with an asterisk *.
Always place the ovenware into the cooking compartment
without preheating it.
Programmes
Poultry
Place poultry in the roasting dish, breast side up. The
programme is not suitable for stuffed poultry.
When cooking several drumsticks, set the weight of the
heaviest drumstick. The drumsticks must be approximately the
same weight.
Example: For 3 chicken drumsticks of 300 g, 320 g and 400 g,
set 400 g.
Just as with drumsticks, if you want to prepare two chickens of
similar size in one roasting dish, make settings according to the
weight of the heavier chicken.
When cooking turkey breast, add plenty of water to make sure
that the meat does not dry out.
This appliance complies with European Directive
2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE). The directive gives a framework for
the collection and recycling of old appliances, which is
valid across the EU.
