¡ The setting values apply to food placed in the cook-
ing compartment while the cooking compartment is
still cold. If you want to preheat anyway, do not
place accessories into the cooking compartment un-
til it has finished preheating.
¡ Remove any accessories that are not being used
from the cooking compartment.
Tip
For some food, you can use the ventilation function
"Crisp Finish". The ventilation function "Crisp Finish" ex-
tracts moisture from the cooking compartment with in-
creased intensity. This method is recommended for
food with lots of moisture, e. g.
¡ for cooking on several levels
¡ for baked items with a moist toppings
¡ for meringue pastry
¡ when increased crispiness is required
For crispier food, we recommend switching this on in
the second half of the cooking time.

32.2 Baking tips
¡ Dark-coloured metal baking tins are most suitable
for baking cakes, bread and other baked goods.
¡ Use wide, shallow cookware for bakes and gratins.
Food takes longer to cook in deep, narrow cook-
ware and it browns more on top.
¡ Silicone moulds are not suitable.
¡ If you are cooking bakes directly in the universal
pan, place the universal pan into the cooking com-
partment at level 2.
¡ The setting values for bread dough apply to both
dough placed on a baking tray and dough placed in
a loaf tin.
¡ The recommended settings for baking in combina-
tion with the microwave mode are for metal baking
tins.
ATTENTION!
When the cooking compartment is hot, any water in-
side it will create steam. The change in temperature
may cause damage.
Never pour water into the cooking compartment
when it is still hot.
Never place cookware containing water on the
cooking compartment floor.
