en How it works
¡ Remove any accessories that are not being used
from the cooking compartment. This allows you to
achieve optimal cooking results and save up to 20%
in energy.
¡ Hot air gentle is an intelligent type of heating that al-
lows you to gently cook meat, fish and baked items.
The appliance optimally controls the supply of en-
ergy to the cooking compartment. The food is
cooked in phases using residual heat. This means
that the food remains more succulent and browns
less. Depending on the preparation and food, you
can save energy. If you preheat the appliance or
open the appliance door before the food has fin-
ished cooking, you may not be able to achieve this
result.
The hot air gentle type of heating is used to meas-
ure both the energy consumption in circulating-air
mode and the energy efficiency class.
¡ Only use original accessories.
The original accessory has been tailored to the
cooking compartment and the types of heating.
Ensure that the accessory slides in the right way
round.
Greaseproof paper
Only use greaseproof paper that is suitable for the se-
lected temperature. Always cut the greaseproof paper
to size.
WARNING ‒ Risk of fire!
Opening the appliance door creates a draught.
Greaseproof paper may come into contact with the
heating element and catch fire.
▶
Never place greaseproof paper loosely over ac-
cessories when preheating the appliance and while
cooking.
▶
Always cut greaseproof paper to size and use a
plate or baking tin to hold it down.

Notes
¡ When baking on several layers, use hot air. Different
food that is placed in the oven at the same time will
not necessarily be ready at the same time.
In such cases, you can remove the cooked food
and continue to cook the other baking tray. If neces-
sary, you can change the position and direction of
the baking trays.
¡ Position baking tins/dishes either next to one an-
other or offset on different shelves so that they are
not directly one above the other in the cooking com-
partment. You can cut energy use by cooking differ-
ent items at the same time.
¡ For best results, we recommend using dark-col-
oured metal baking tins.
29.5 Cakes and other baked goods
Recommended settings for cakes and baked items
The temperature and baking time depend on the quant-
ity and consistency of the dough. This is why temperat-
ure ranges are given in the tables. Set a short cooking
time first. If required, set a longer cooking time next
time. A lower temperature results in more even brown-
ing.

Tip
¡ Only grease the base
of the springform cake
tin.
¡ After baking, use a
knife to carefully
loosen the cake from
the baking tin.
Leave a minimum clear-
ance of 2 cm around
each item that is to be
baked. This allows
enough space for the
baked goods to expand
and brown on all sides.
Push a cocktail stick into
the highest point on the
cake. If the cocktail stick
comes out clean, the
cake is ready.
Use similar items in the
baking tables as a guide.
¡ The baking tin must be
heat-resistant up to
250 °C.
¡ Cakes in these types
of bakeware brown
less.
