Baking and roasting
Operating modes
The operating modes available are described below.
Top / Bottom heat
Top / Bottom heat is the conventional method of
cooking. Heat comes from the heating elements
at the top and bottom of the cooking space. It is
only possible to bake and roast food on one
level. Depending on which level is being cooked
on, the top or bottom heat can be more or less
effective.
Especially suitable for roasting succulent joints, as
well as for baking pies, cakes, biscuits, etc.
Bottom heat
Bottom heat can be used for preserving foodstuffs
or for baking the bottom of pies, for instance,
well.
15
… Baking and roasting
Large grill
Keep appliance door closed when grilling.
The large grill is suitable for grilling a large
amount of flat food and for gratinating large
dishes.
Use the wire shelf for grilling flat food and for
putting tins on.
Small grill
The small grill is especially suitable for grilling
small amounts of flat food and gratinating in an
energy-saving way.
When grilling, heat is transferred from the red hot heating element by infrared
radiation.
The small grill uses the inner heating element only; the large grill also uses top
heat.
16
… Baking and roasting
Convection
In addition to top / bottom heat, a fan circulates
the hot air evenly around the cooking space.
Suitable for making soufflées, eclairs and meringues on one level.
Grillforced convection
This operating mode uses both the large grill and
hot air at the same time.
To avoid excessively dirtying the cooking space,
put the food to be grilled in a shallow, heatproof
dish.
It is recommended that food be grilled on the wire
shelf at a cooking space temperature of between
150 °C and 190 °C. A baking tray lined with
aluminium foil placed at the lowest shelf level
serves as a drip tray.
Suitable for roasting chicken and meat as well as
for gratinating and browning.
17
… Baking and roasting
PizzaPlus
Uses a combination of hot air and bottom heat to
bake the base of the food particularly intensively.
Especially suitable for baking juicy flans, quiches,
pizzas, etc. on one level.
Use the original baking tray or a round tin on the
wire shelf.
Hot air
A heating element behind the back wall of the
cooking space heats up the air in the cooking
space. A fan circulates the hot air evenly around
the cooking space. The food is heated evenly
from all sides so that it is possible to bake on two
to three levels at the same time, thus saving
energy.
Suitable for baking biscuits, flans and cakes on
several levels or roasting a joint of meat at the bottom and baking a gratin at the top of the cooking
space.

… Baking and roasting
Optimal use
The recommended baking and roasting temperatures given in older recipe books are
likely to be too high and the recommended shelf levels in the cooking space not ideal.
The 'Tips on settings' section shows how to get the best use out of the appliance.
If in doubt, follow these tips. Note that the temperatures and times given in the tables
are based on typical methods of preparing food and thus are only indicative.
Cooking space temperature when using hot air
When baking or roasting with hot air, the cooking space temperature needs to be
around 20 °C lower than with top and bottom heat. Recipes often only give temperatures for baking or roasting with top and bottom heat. Compare them to the temperatures in the 'Tips on settings' section. If in doubt, select a lower temperature.
If the cake or roast is nice and brown on the outside but still doughy or raw
in the middle, it is usually a sign that the cooking space temperature is too
high.
Baking with hot air
Place a suitable baking form (round tin, spring form tin, cake tin, etc.) on the wire shelf.
Push the original baking tray right to the back of the cooking space for optimum air
circulation.
21
… Baking and roasting
Selecting the right level is particularly important when using hot air.
On one level
䡲
䡲
Put original baking tray or shallow baking
forms on the wire shelf at level 3.
3
Put deep baking forms, e.g. spring forms or
gugelhopf (ring) tins, on the wire shelf and
bulky food, e.g. a loaf of bread, on the
original baking tray at level 1.
1
On two levels
䡲
Put original baking trays at levels 1 and 4.
4

On three levels
䡲
Put original baking trays at levels 1 and 3
and the wire shelf at level 5.

22
… Baking and roasting
Saving energy
Avoid opening the appliance door frequently.
Only switch the illumination on if needed.
䡲 Use residual heat: for longer cooking times, i.e. over 30 minutes, set the cooking
space temperature to «0» some 5–10 minutes before the end. Exceptions: soufflé,
sponge, choux pastry and puff pastry.
䡲
䡲
To maintain ventilation of the cooking space, do not set operating mode
to «0».
Preheating
Do not preheat the cooking space unless recommended in the recipe or in 'Tips on
settings'.
䡲 Preheat briefly before grilling. See the grilling times given in 'Tips on settings'.
䡲
Minimize cleaning
To prevent food spills on the bottom of the cooking space, place protective foil
between the bottom of the cooking space and the bottom heat element. The appliance comes with protective foil in the bottom. To order more original protective foil
sheets, see the 'Accessories and spare parts' section for the article number.
䡲 When grilling, to minimize cleaning, place the original baking tray – lined with
aluminium foil – at level 1.

It is important to put the food that is to be cooked or baked at
the right level in the cooking space. See the 'Tips on settings'
section for which level to use.
The original baking tray serves as a baking form for flans and
biscuits, etc. and as a shelf, e.g. when baking with hot air on
two levels, and as a drip tray for use with the wire shelf.
Frozen food products, such as quiche or bread buns, that do
not fill the original baking tray shrink when they are cooked, especially if cooked at a high temperature. This is normal and unavoidable when using square baking trays. Taking the baking
tray out can also be more difficult. As it cools down, the baking
tray goes back to its original form. The wire shelf covered with
baking paper or a round baking tray placed on the wire shelf
can be used to cook such food on instead of the baking tray.
Using extremely hard knives or cutting wheels (ceramic, carbide) to cut foodstuff on the original baking tray can damage the
surface.
The wire shelf can also be used for putting roasting tins and
baking forms, as well as meat and frozen pizza, etc, on.
The original baking tray is to be used the normal way round –
not upside down.

fire hazard!
A
Only use healthy, ripe fruit and fresh mushrooms and herbs.
A
Place the washed and chopped fruit, mushrooms or herbs on baking paper on the
wire shelf or on the original baking tray and put in the cooking space at the
appropriate level.
A
When drying or desiccating, it is only possible to use at most one wire shelf and
two original baking trays at the same time.

A
Fill and seal the jars in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
A
Put a maximum of five jars – ideally of the same size and each holding no more
than 1 litre – in the original baking tray and place at level 2 in the cold cooking
space, as shown in the diagram. The jars should not touch one another.
A
Set the
or
operating mode to 150 °C and heat until the liquid in the jars
starts to bubble (with the
operating mode this will be after about 60–90 minutes and with
after about 35–40 minutes).
A
Reduce the cooking space temperature to 0 °C and allow the jars to sterilise for
40 minutes.
A
Turn off the operating mode using the dial and leave the appliance door open in
the at-rest position.
A
Leave the jars in the cooking space to cool down completely. Finally, check that
the jars are sealed.

Care and maintenance
Cleaning the exterior
A
Avoid cleaning the surface of the appliance with abrasive or caustic cleaning
agents, stainless steel cleaner, scouring pads, wire wool, etc. as they can damage
the surface.
A
Remove any dirt or excess cleaning solution as quickly as possible. Using a cloth
dampened with water, clean the surface (for metallic surfaces rub in the direction
of the original polish lines) and then polish with a soft cloth.
Appliance / Warming drawer
The drawer can be removed for ease of cleaning.
A
Pull out the drawer as far as the stopper will allow, lift slightly and remove from the
front.
Cleaning the accessories
䡲
The wire shelf and shelf guides can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
䡲

40
… Care and maintenance
Cleaning the cooking space
As the temperature sensor and the heating elements in the
cooking space can be easily damaged, care must be taken
not to bend them during cleaning.
After lifting the bottom heat element up to clean underneath,
lay it back down on the bottom of the cooking space, push
ing it down slightly at the back.
A
Avoid using abrasive cleaners such as scouring pads, steel wool, etc. as they can
damage the surface.
A
Clean the appliance door with a soft cloth dampened with water and then dry with
a soft cloth.
䡲
Depending on the model, the cooking space may have an enamel coating (smooth
surface) and in which case it can be cleaned using standard oven cleaners. Please
follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Various parts in the cooking space can be easily removed for ease of cleaning.
Removing the shelf guides

… Care and maintenance
Catalytic selfcleaning
Do not scrub the cooking space or use oven sprays, cleaning
pastes or household detergents in it. The catalytic coating
may otherwise become discoloured and the selfcleaning
properties may be destroyed.
Depending on the model, the cooking space may come supplied with a catalytic selfcleaning coating. The coating is matt and rough. During the catalytic cleaning process, food residues are burned off at temperatures of over 200 °C during normal use.
The cleaning process requires oxygen out of the air. A dirty catalytic coating should,
therefore, not be covered. Dried-up, baked-on food spills (e.g. burned-on meat sauce
or glaze) impair the cleaning effect and can be avoided as follows:
A
When grilling, place the original baking tray – lined with aluminium foil – at
level 1.
A
Wipe away food spills as soon as possible when still in a liquid form.
A
Place protective foil between the bottom of the cooking space and the bottom heat
element.
For dried-up, baked-on food spills:
A
Soften with a damp cloth and then wipe away.
A
Use a plastic or wooden spatula to scrape off any larger dried-up, baked-on food
spills. Soften any stubborn rests with a damp cloth and then wipe away.
43
… Care and maintenance
Only remove dried-up, baked-on food spills. Any remaining food residues will
eventually disappear after going through the baking and cleaning process a
number of times. In the case of a heavily soiled appliance or after being in
operation for several years, some stains may remain.
If the cooking space is heavily soiled, it is recommended that the empty cooking space
be heated for several hours at the maximum cooking space temperature using the
operating mode
.
The life expectancy of the catalytic coating largely depends on the degree of soiling.

Tips and tricks
The baking or roast looks good on the outside, but is still doughy
or raw in the middle
䡲
The baking or roasting time can be reduced only slightly by increasing the cooking
space temperature (cooked on the outside and raw on the inside). Lower the temperature of the cooking space slightly and lengthen the cooking time
correspondingly.
Cake collapses
Check your settings with those given in the 'Tips on settings' section.
䡲 Reduce the cooking space temperature by 10 °C and possibly extend the baking
time.
䡲 Bake the finished cake mixture immediately. Follow the mixing times given in recipes. With whisked sponge cakes, for example, beat the egg yolk mass and the
egg whites slightly longer.
䡲 Check the recipe: adding too much baking powder, for instance, can cause
problems.
䡲
Uneven browning
Uneven browning is to a certain degree normal. More even browning is generally
achieved at lower temperatures. If necessary, lower the temperature of the cooking
space slightly and extend the cooking time correspondingly.
䡲 When baking with hot air, check that the shelf levels used correspond to those recommended in the 'Tips on settings' section.
䡲 Do not push baking tins or bulky foodstuff right to the back of the cooking space.
䡲
48
… Tips and tricks
The baking has come out lighter on one tray than on the other
䡲
When baking on more than one tray at the same time, the baking produce is not
always ready simultaneously. Give the tray with the baking that is not so brown a
little longer.
Measuring the cooking space temperature using own thermometer
䡲
In accordance with an internationally accepted norm, the cooking space temperature is measured when the appliance is empty. Taking own temperature measurements can be imprecise and not suitable for checking how exact the cooking
space temperature is.
49
Hob
Do not leave the hot plates switched on at a high power level
without any cookware for any length of time, as this can
damage them.
In case of overheating, switch the hot plate off and allow it
to cool down completely! Do not stand cookware on it. Under
no circumstances use cold water to cool it down.
A hob guard can be fitted to protect small children. The Swiss
Council for Accident Prevention (bfu) in Berne can provide
advice.
Depending on the model, the hob comes with a glass ceramic plate or with hot plates.
For the glass ceramic plate, please also read the corresponding operating instructions.

… Hob
Hot plates
Do not use pots and pan that are smaller than the hot plate, as this can cause the
outer zone of the hot plate to overheat. Over time, the hot plate will become damaged and the chrome steel ring will become loose or break.
䡲 Frequent overboiling (especially if using pans that are too small) can cause pitting
corrosion in the outer zone of the hot plate.
䡲
Cleaning and maintenance
A
Allow the hot plates to cool down before cleaning. Wipe clean with a slightly
damp cloth. Remove food soiling with fine wire wool.
A
Once to twice per week use a standard hot plate cleaner to restore and protect
the hot plates.
There is a rust-free chrome steel ring around the hot plates to protect the edge.
Over time, the heat will cause the ring to become discoloured, turning yellow.
Discolouration is normal and cannot be removed by cleaning.
52
… Hob
Cookware
The base of the cookware should have no sharp rims or
edges. Only use cast iron cookware with a smooth enam
elled base.
Electric cookware with a stable base is suitable for use with the glass ceramic hob.
The base should be at least 2.5 mm thick and multi-layered.
䡲 The outside layer should ideally be made of chrome-nickel steel.
䡲 Electric cookware has a slightly concave base when cold. When it is heated up
and expands, the base becomes flat ensuring good contact with the surface of the
cooking zone.
䡲 The cookware must not wobble on the surface during use.
䡲
Pot and pan bases must correspond to the size of the cooking zone. Using too
large a pan will result in the base of the pan being heated unevenly and possibly
being damaged as a consequence.
䡲 Glass and ceramic cookware conduct heat poorly and therefore should not be
used.
䡲 Ensure that the base of the cookware is dry, otherwise when heated a film of steam
can form. Heat transfer is reduced and can cause the cooking zone to overheat.
䡲
A
Place the cookware exactly on the cooking zone markings.
Cookware bases made of aluminium or aluminium alloys can leave stubborn
abrasion marks.
Use cookware suitable for use with glass ceramic hobs.
