Important Information
Appliance safety
considerations
❑ The appliance should only be used for
the preparation of food.
❑ The surfaces of heating and cooking
appliances get hot during operation.
The interior oven walls and the heating
elements get extremely hot. Always
keep children away from the appliance.
❑ Never leave the appliance unattended
when cooking with fat or oil. They can
catch fire if overheated.
❑ Clean the oven regularly.
Fatty or oily remants could ignite when
the oven is switched on.
❑ Make sure that the power cord does not
get caught in the hot oven door. The
plastic insulation could melt.
❑ In the case of a defect, switch off (or
remove) the mains fuse in the building
electrical system.
❑ Do not store combustible items in the
oven. They could ignite if the oven is
switched on accidentally.
❑ Do not clean the oven with steam or
high-pressure cleaners.
❑ If using hot air v, do not place
greaseproof paper loosely in the oven
(e.g. when heating the oven).
The hot-air fan could draw in the paper
which may damage the heater and fan.
❑ Do not insert a baking sheet at the
bottom of the oven, or cover the base of
the oven with aluminium foil, as this
would result in heat build up. Roasting
and baking times would change, and
the enamel would be damaged.
❑ Never pour water directly into the hot
oven. Damage to the enamel could
result.
❑ Dripping juices may leave spots on the
oven lining. Always place a baking tray
below to prevent this from happening.
❑ Never stand or sit on the open oven
door.
❑ The oven door must close properly.
Keep the door seal surfaces clean.

Baking
Using baking tins
v
❑ Always place baking tins in the centre
of the wire shelf.
❑ The wire shelf may be turned upside
down to accommodate different size
tins.
❑ If the cake base gets too dark:
Check the shelf level. Reduce the
baking time, and possibly use a lower
baking temperature.
❑ If the cake base stays too light:
Check the shelf level. Increase the
baking time, select a lower temperature,
or use a dark metal baking tin.
❑ You can use baking tins of any material
and of any colour, as long as they are
oven-proof.
❑ Do not place baking tins or high cakes
too close to the rear oven wall.
Notes:
❑ You can influence the degree of
browning by changing the temperature
setting.
❑ If a cake collapses after removing it from
the oven, use less liquid on your next
attempt, consider using a longer baking
time, or use a slightly lower temperature
setting.
13
Roasting
Roasting with Circotherm v
Notes:
❑ Meat roasted using the Circotherm
system will brown on all sides and stay
moist without additional fat.
❑ Choose cuts of meat that weigh
150 grams (5oz) or more.
❑ Place the shelf on top of the roasting
pan.
❑ Place the meat on the shelf, season if
desired.
❑ Slide the pan and shelf into the oven on
the same shelf position.
❑ No pre-heating is required. Save energy
by putting the roast into the cold oven.
❑ Use a Circotherm temperature of 160 °C.
Circotherm grilling v
Use this method for small cuts of meat –
steaks, chops, sausages, bacon, chicken
joints and fish.
❑ Use the shelf and roasting pan together.
❑ Season meat as required.
❑ Place on shelf.
❑ Do not turn food over – the hot air will
circulate around the food cooking all
sides.
❑ Use a temperature of 180–190 °C.
Casseroling or pot-roasting in a covered
dish:
❑ Some meats should be prepared in
liquid in a covered casserole. This type
of cooking is suitable for less tender
cuts of meat.
❑ Place the casserole on the wire shelf on
a suitable shelf position.
Cooking tips:
❑ Only use ovenproof cookware.
❑ Extra large turkeys and joints can be
placed directly in the roasting pan and
not on the wire shelf.
❑
Cover large turkeys with foil during
cooking. Remove foil during the last hour.
14
Grilling
❑ Always place the food to be grilled in the
centre of the wire shelf.
❑ If the heating element switches off
automatically, the overheating protection
was activated. The element will be
reactivated after a short period of time.
Radiant grilling
Z
Used for small cuts of meat or poultry.
Exercise CAUTION when grilling.
! Always keep children away from
the oven when it is in use.
Notes on grilling:
❑ Always close the oven door when
grilling.
❑ The grilling temperatures are variable.
❑ Always use the grill and roasting pan
together.
❑ Turn the food after approx. two-thirds of
the grilling time has elapsed.
❑ Lightly brush the wire shelf with oil and
baste the food if desired.
15
Cooking Tips and Helpful Hints
To save energy:
❑ Preheat only if recommended by the
recipe.
❑ Dark baking tins have a higher degree of
heat absorption.
❑ Residual heat: In the case of longer
baking times, you can switch off the
oven 5–10 minutes before the full baking
time has elapsed.
When cooking with Circotherm:
❑ Cakes baked in a tin get too dark at the
back.
❑ Cakes remain doughy and collapse
when removed from the oven.
❑ Uneven browning of small cakes or
biscuits.
❑ With very moist foods steam develops
and condenses on the oven door and
drips onto the floor.
Avoid blocking the air vents at the rear wall
of the oven with the cake tins.
Reduce the temperature for deep cakes.
Bake for a longer period of time. Test with
a skewer before removing.
Avoid placing trays too close to the back
wall. Space food on the tray.
Several brief periods of opening the oven
door during baking (1 or 2 times, more
frequently with longer roasting times) will
aid in venting the steam in the oven and
reduce condensation.
16
Defrosting and Cooking
Defrosting and cooking using the Circotherm v
Important heating system information:
❑ For defrosting and cooking of frozen
foods, use circotherm.
❑ With all frozen foods, follow the food
manufacturers instructions on the
package.
❑ As a rule, defrosted frozen foods
(especially meats) require less cooking
time than fresh products, since freezing
has a pre-cooking effect.
❑ If frozen meat is placed in the oven, the
defrosting time must be added to the
required cooking time.
❑ Always defrost frozen poultry before
cooking because the giblets must be
removed.
❑ For cooking frozen fish, use the same
temperatures as for fresh fish.
❑ Frozen ready-to-eat meals in
aluminium dishes may be placed into
the oven several at a time.
❑ Frozen vegetables (i.e., when cooking
complete meals) should be cooked in a
covered pot together with the roast. Use
only approximately half of the liquid
specified in the recipe. Use fat only for
adding flavour.
Gentle defrosting:
k
Recommended for delicate pastries only
(i.e., whipped-cream gateaus).
❑ Turn the function selector switch to the
k
position. Dependent on size and type
of the baked goods, defrost 25 – 45
minutes, take out of the oven and allow
to stand 30 – 45 minutes.
❑ With smaller amounts (pastries), the
defrosting time is reduced to 15 – 20
minutes and the subsequent standing
time to 10 – 15 minutes.
Standard defrosting of various foods:
Shelf-in levels:
With 1 baking sheet: Slide-in level 3
With 2 baking sheets: Slide-in levels 1 and 3
❑ All stated times are approximate
guidelines that vary with the shape and
volume of frozen products.
❑ Raw frozen products or foods from a
freezer always defrost at 50° C.
Higher defrosting temperatures may
cause the food to dry out.
❑ Defrost frozen meals packed in
aluminium foil or closed aluminium
containers at a setting of 130 – 140° C.
❑ Place frozen meals packed in plastic
bags or plastic containers in a pot
filled with water. Cover the pot and
defrost of 130 – 140° C.
Attention: Pot handles must be oven-
proof.
❑ Defrost and warm up frozen baked
goods at 100 – 140° C. Brush bread,
rolls or yeast pastry lightly with egg to
make the crust more appealing.
❑ Defrost dry frozen yeast cakes at
160 – 170° C for 20 – 30 minutes.
❑ Defrost moist frozen yeast cakes (with
fruit topping) at 160 – 170° C for
30 – 50 minutes after wrapping in
aluminium foil to prevent cake from
drying out.
❑ Defrost and toast frozen toast (with
topping) at 160 – 170° C for about
20 minutes.
❑ Defrost and bake frozen pizzas at 180 –
190 °C for 15 – 25 minutes.
Place on wire grill covered with
greaseproof paper.
Please ensure that the greaseproof
paper is suitable for use at these
temperatures.
17
Cleaning and Care
Important cleaning basics:
❑ For cleaning, do not use abrasives, corrosive cleaners, aerosol cleaners or sharp objects.
❑ Do not scratch off burnt-on food residues, but soak off them with a damp cloth and
washing up liquid.
❑ Oven cleaners must not be used on aluminium or plastic parts.
Stainless steel front:
❑ When using commercially available
Stainless Steel cleaning agents, avoid
cleaning any lettering, as this can
become damaged!
❑ Do not use any scouring pads or
abrasive cleaners.
❑ Use commercially available detergents
applied with a soft, moistened cloth or a
chamois.
Enamel and glass:
❑ Use hot detergent suds for cleaning.
❑ Remove the oven door before cleaning
the enamel surface.
Oven interior:
❑ Clean the oven after each use,
especially after roasting or grilling.
Food remnants burn in when the oven is
reheated.
The baked in remnants are very difficult
to remove once burnt in.
❑ You can reduce the degree of soiling by
greater use of the circotherm.
Do not clean the warm oven with any
of the cleaning products specifically
designed for this purpose.
❑ When baking very moist cake (e.g. rich
fruit cake) that could drip over the top of
the tin, place on the roasting pan or
your own baking sheet.
❑ When roasting, ensure that the meat
juices do not splash on to the base of
the oven.
❑ Clean the oven before soiling becomes
too heavy. Wash out the oven cavity
with hot detergent suds. Leave the door
open until the interior has dried.
18
Cleaning and Care
Manual cleaning steps:
Note: To make cleaning more convenient,
the oven offers you the following options:
Removing the oven door:
1. Fully open the oven door.
2. Move the catch levers on the right and
left-hand sides to the fully open position.
3. Placing the door at an upward angle
toward you, grasp the door with both

Trouble-shooting Guide
Calling the customer service is not always really necessary. In some cases, you can remedy the situation your-
self. The following table may contain some helpful tips.
Important general safety guidelines:
Service or repair work on the electronic components may only be performed by a qualified expert. Without exception, prior
to starting such repairs, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains. This may be accomplished by tripping the
automatic fuse or by removing the fuse from the fuse box that controls your flat or apartment.
Problem Possible cause Remedy
There is a general failure of all electri-
cal functions, i.e., the control lamps
have suddenly ceased to function.
Defective fuse. Check the fuse in the fuse box, and
replace if required.
Liquids or thin cake mixes are distri-
buted at a visibly uneven thickness.
The appliance has not been placed
or installed plumb-and-level.
Level the appliance using the level-
ling feet, or check the installation.
The electronic timer display sudden-
ly shows a blinking 0.00.
The power supply was briefly inter-
rupted.
Reset the time of day.
The oven suddenly stop functioning. The electronic timer is set to an auto-
matic timing cycle.
Set the timer for operation without
automatic timing.
The oven door window pane fogs
up.
This is a normal condition. It is cau-
sed by the occurrence of temperatu-
re differences.
Heat the oven at 100 °C for about 5
minutes.
A considerable amount of water
condensation occurs in the oven.
This condition is normal with moist
cakes or with very large roasts.
During baking or roasting, open the
oven briefly several times; wipe up
condensation after use.
After prolonged use, the oven
window panes are soiled from the
inside.
This kind of soiling is normal. Remove the oven door, and put
aside with the handle facing upward.
For cleaning, remove the two screws
at the door handle moulding with a
screwdriver.
Caution: During reassembly, install
both the door handle and the door
seal in their original positions.
