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.
Preheating is necessary for selected food, and this is
indicated in the table. Do not place your food and
accessory into the cooking compartment until it has
finished preheating.
Some dishes turn out best if they are cooked in multiple
stages. These are indicated in the table.
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.
Tested for you in our cooking studio
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.
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 17~ "Steam" on page 20
Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when taking
hot accessories or cookware out of the cooking
compartment.
Bakeware and cookware
For best results, we recommend using dark-coloured
metal bakeware.
Tinplate baking tins, ceramic dishes and glass dishes
extend the baking time and prevent the bake from
browning evenly.
If you would like to use silicone moulds, check the
manufacturer's instructions to see whether they are
suitable for use with microwaves or steam-assisted
cooking. Use the manufacturer's instructions and
recipes as a guide.
Silicone moulds are often smaller than normal baking
tins. The given quantities and recipes may vary.
As a general rule:
Bake on the glass tray with hot air, shelf position 2
■
Bake in a tin on the wire rack with hot air, shelf
■
position 1
Roasts on the wire rack or the glass tray, shelf
■
position 2. If you use the wire rack, place the glass
tray underneath.
Grill on the wire rack on shelf position 3 or 4. Place
■
the glass tray underneath.
Microwave-only operation: Cookware on the bottom
■
of the cooking compartment, shelf position 0.
Steam-only operation: Glass tray with steamer
■
basket on shelf position 3.
Greaseproof paper
Only use greaseproof paper that is suitable for the
selected temperature. Always cut greaseproof paper to
size.
Do not line accessories with greaseproof paper until
after they have been preheated.
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.
