A lot of steam can build up in the cooking
Note:
compartment when cooking food.
Your appliance is very energy-efficient and radiates very
little heat to its surroundings during operation. Due to
the high difference in temperature between the
appliance interior and the external parts of the
appliance, condensation may build up on the door,
control panel or adjacent kitchen cabinet panels. This is
a normal physical phenomenon. Condensation can be
reduced by preheating the oven or opening the door
carefully.
When steaming or during operation with steam
assistance, it is desirable that there is a significant
build-up of steam in the cooking compartment. Wipe the
cooking compartment clean after cooking, once it has
cooled off.
General information
Recommended setting values
The table lists the optimum function for various types of
food. The temperature/settings and duration depend on
the cookware used and the quantity, quality,
temperature and consistency of the food. Settings
ranges are indicated for this reason. Try using the lower
values to start with. You can use a higher setting next
time if necessary.
When using the microwave, always set the longest
specified time but check your meal after the shortest
specified time.
Before cooking with steam, ensure that the water tank is
full.
It may be that you have different quantities from those
specified in the tables. There is a rule of thumb for
operating the microwave on its own: Double the amount
= almost double the time, half the amount = half the
time.
The setting values apply to food that is placed into a
cold cooking compartment.
If you wish to follow one of your own recipes, you
should use the settings listed in the table for similar
food as reference. Additional information can be found
in the baking tips listed after the settings tables.
Remove any accessories that are not being used from
the cooking compartment.
Accessories
Only use genuine accessories for your appliance.
These have been tailored to the cooking compartment
and the operating modes of your appliance.
Tested for you in our cooking studio
Ensure that you always use suitable cookware and
accessories, and that they are placed in the oven the
right way around.
Also observe the notes on using cookware suitable for
microwave cooking and cooking with steam in the
relevant sections.~ "Microwave"
on page 16~ "Steam" on page 19
Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when taking
hot accessories or cookware out of the cooking
compartment.
Baking tins and cookware
For optimal cooking results, we recommend using glass
baking tins.
If you would like to use silicone moulds, check the
manufacturer's specifications regarding the suitability
for use with steam and microwaves, and follow the
manufacturer's specifications and recipes.
Silicone moulds are often smaller than normal baking
tins. Quantity and recipe specifications may vary.
The following applies in general:
Grill on the wire rack at shelf position 3 or 4. Insert
■
the glass tray underneath.
Microwave-only mode: Cookware on the base of the
■
cooking compartment, shelf position 0.
Steam-only mode: Glass tray with steaming tray at
■
shelf position 3.
Defrosting
Place the frozen food in an uncovered container on the
bottom of the cooking compartment.
Delicate parts such as the drumsticks and wings of
chicken or fatty outer layers of roasts can be covered
with small pieces of aluminium foil. The foil must not
touch the walls of the appliance. You can remove the
foil half way through the defrosting time.
Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat or
poultry. Drain off this liquid when turning meat and
poultry and under no circumstances use it for other
purposes or allow it to come into contact with other
foods.
Turn or stir the food once or twice during the process.
Large pieces of food should be turned several times.
Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature for
a further 10 to 60 minutes so that the temperature can
stabilise. You can remove the giblets from poultry at this
point.
The meat can also be processed further when a small
part of the core is frozen.
Notes
Use an uncovered item of cookware and place it on
■
the bottom of the cooking compartment.
Please note that a setting can comprise several
■
steps.
Always set the maximum specified time but check
■
your meal after the minimum specified time.
