Notes
–
Always preheat the appliance.
This will produce the best cooking results. The
cooking times specified refer to a preheated
appliance.
–
The values 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.
–
The tables list temperature and/or time ranges. Try
the lowest value to start with. You can always
choose a longer time next time if need be.
A lower temperature will result in more even
browning. If necessary, set a higher temperature.
–
The figures listed refer to average quantities of food
for four people. If you wish to cook a larger quantity
of food, you should allow for extra cooking time.
–
Use the cookware specified. If you use other
cookware, the cooking times 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 dish.
–
Do not place too many items close together on wire
racks or baking trays. This is the only way to ensure
optimal heat circulation.
–
Open the door of the preheated oven for a short
time only when placing food inside the cooking
compartment.
–
The figures given for the level refer to the rack level
(counting from the bottom) in appliances with four
rack levels. The figures in brackets refer to
appliances with five rack levels.
–
Once you have taken glass cookware out of the
oven, set it down on a dry trivet or heat-proof mat;
never set it down on a cold or wet surface.
Otherwise, the glass may crack.
–
Some operating modes are not available on all oven
models or are only available in conjunction with
certain optional accessories.
–
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 cooking
compartment 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 nothing already in there when you
place the food inside. Then start the specified
cooking time. Always keep the appliance door
closed when cooking. This will prevent heat loss.
–
Full surface grill and full surface grill +
circulated air:
In these operating modes, there may be a
temperature 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.
