28 How it works
Here, you can find the ideal settings for various types
of food as well as the best accessories and cookware.
We have perfectly tailored these recommendations to
your appliance.
Tip: A lot of other information about the food prepara-
tion and corresponding adjustment values can be
found in the Home Connect app or on our website
siemens-home.bsh-group.com .
28.1 General cooking tips
Take note of the following information when cooking all
types of food.
¡ The temperature and cooking time depend on the
amount of food and the recipe. Settings ranges are
specified for this reason. Try using the lower values
to start with.
¡ 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".For some food, you can use the ventila-
tion function . 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.

28.2 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.
¡ 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.
Shelf positions
If you are using the 4D hot air type of heating, you can
choose between shelf positions 1, 2, 3 and 4. You will
obtain the best results if you use the following shelf po-
sitions.

Tall baked items and tins/dishes on
the wire rack
Shallow baked items/baking tray
Baking on two or more levels
2 levels
¡ Universal pan
¡ Baking tray

¡ Baking tins/dishes on 2 wire
racks
3 levels
¡ Baking tray
¡ Universal pan
¡ Baking tray
4 levels
¡ 4 wire racks with greaseproof pa-
per
Use the 4D hot air heating function.
Notes
¡ Items that are placed in the appliance on baking
trays or in baking tins/dishes at the same time will
not necessarily be ready at the same time.
¡ If you opt for cooking in combination with the mi-
crowave mode, you can only cook on one level.
28.3 Roasting, braising and grilling tips
¡ The recommended settings are for fridge-temperat-
ure food and unstuffed, oven-ready poultry.
¡ Place the poultry onto the cookware breast-side or
skin-side down.
¡ Turn roasting joints, grilled items or whole fish after
approx. ½ to ⅔ of the specified time.
Roasting on the wire rack
Food roasted on the wire rack will become very crispy
on all sides. You can roast large poultry, for example,
or multiple individual pieces at the same time.
