4.6 Food probe temperature
Only use the food probe supplied.
Do not clean the food probe in the dishwasher. Always keep the plug clean.
The food probe is used to measure the temperature inside the food (referred to as the
food probe temperature). As soon as the food reaches the desired target temperature
(the food probe temperature that should be attained at the end of the cooking process),
operation stops automatically. It is also possible to simply measure the food probe tem-
perature without stopping operation.
For a correct food probe temperature reading, the food probe must as far as pos-
sible be fully inserted into the centre of the food.
The optimal target temperature depends on the cut of meat and on the degree of
doneness.
Refer to the information on target temperatures in «EasyCook».
Setting
▸ Plug in the food probe.
▸ Select the desired application (see page 15).
▸ Set the desired temperature using the CircleSlider.
▸ In the value range, touch «Food probe temperature».

▸ Press «Start» to start the application.
Operation can only be started when the food probe is plugged in the socket in the
appliance.
For applications that use the food probe, the cooking space temperature must not
exceed 230°C, otherwise a message appears.
▸ Check and change the settings.
– When cooking, the current food probe temperat-
ure is shown in the bottom part of the display
next to the target temperature.

5.12 Soft roasting
How it functions
The «Soft roasting» function allows high-quality cuts of meat to be prepared gently.
The end of operation can be set precisely, irrespective of the weight and thickness of the
meat. The temperature is automatically controlled. For long operating times, the temper-
ature is controlled such that it corresponds to low-temperature cooking.
Depending on the type of meat, the cooking time can be set between 1½ and 4½ hours
for «Soft roasting seared».
Tips for best results
▪ Take the meat out of the refrigerator some 30–60 minutes before soft roasting.
▪ Weight of meat: 500–2000 g
▪ Food probe temperature of the meat: up to 76°C
▪ Meat thickness: at least 4cm
▪ Quality: high-quality (not too aged) meat
▪ Select a long cooking time for marbled cuts of meat such as shoulder or neck.

Soft roasting seared
▸ Season or marinate the meat.
Remove any marinade made with herbs, mustard, etc. from the meat before sear-
ing. These constituents easily burn.
▸ Salt the meat immediately before searing.
▸ Briefly sear the meat on all sides for no longer than 5 minutes.
▸ Then place the meat on the wire shelf.
The meat can also be browned after cooking. This has little effect on the degree of
doneness of large cuts of meat. For small cuts of meat, the target temperature
should be reduced by 2–3°C.
▸ Insert the food probe into the meat so that the tip is in the centre of the thickest part.
For a correct food probe temperature reading, the food probe must as far as pos-
sible be fully inserted into the centre of the food. The temperature inside the meat
is crucial for optimal results at the end of cooking.
▸ Put the wire shelf with the meat at level 2 and a baking tray, which has been lined with
aluminium foil, at level1.
▸ Insert the food probe plug into the socket.
▸ Start «Soft roasting seared».

8 Care and maintenance
Risk of burns from hot surfaces!
Allow the appliance and the accessories to cool down before cleaning.
Incorrect handling can result in damage to the appliance!
Use soft cloths only. Do not use any abrasive, alkaline or highly acidic cleaning
agents, metal scrapers that are sharp or scratch, steel wool, scouring pads, etc. as
these products will damage the surfaces. Glass surfaces that are scratched can
crack.
Never use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.
8.1 Cleaning the exterior
▸ Remove any soiling or residues of cleaning solution immediately.
▸ Clean the surfaces and display with a soft cloth dampened with water and a little
washing-up liquid.
▸ Dry with a soft cloth.
When cleaning the display, the display lock can be used to protect the operating ele-
ments from being unintentionally activated.
46
8 Care and maintenance
8.2 Cleaning the cooking space
Incorrect handling can result in damage to the appliance!
Do not bend the temperature sensor or heating elements.
Do not scour the surface. Scouring will damage the surface.
▸ Remove any soiling from the cooking space while still hand warm. Use a soft cloth
dampened with water and a little washing-up liquid. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
▸ Remove all traces of cleaning agent, otherwise the non-stick properties of the coating
could be affected.
In the case of stubborn soiling in appliances without pyrolysis:
▸ Use a commercially available oven cleaner and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
8.3 Cleaning the baking tray
Non-stick properties can be adversely affected.
Do not use any abrasive, acidic or highly alkaline cleaning agents. Do not scour
the surface.
▸ Remove any soiling or residues of cleaning solution immediately.
8.4 Pyrolytic self-cleaning
Risk of burns from hot surfaces!
The appliance front gets hotter than during normal operation. There is likely to be
some smoke given off for a short period of time so ventilate the room during pyro-
lysis. Do not leave the appliance unattended.
Roughly remove grease and oil deposits and baked-on deposits beforehand. Do
not use any chemical cleaning agents. Residues of cleaning agents can cause
chemical reactions, destroy the enamel and give off poisonous fumes.
In pyrolytic self-cleaning, any soiling is burned off at a high temperature. Afterwards the
deposits can easily be removed with a damp cloth. Over time with use the cooking
space can turn matt. Fruit acid and fatty acid deposits can leave stains. This will not af-
fect the cooking or baking characteristics of the appliance nor affect its functioning.
Pyrolytic self-cleaning – including cooling down – takes 3–5 hours depending on
the degree of soiling.
As long as the temperature is over 300°C, the illumination switches off and can-
not be switched back on.
Selecting and starting pyrolytic self-cleaning
Damage to accessories from self-cleaning!
Remove accessories, shelf guides, fully extending runners, cookware and any
other objects from out of the cooking space. Otherwise they can become discol-
oured and their surface rough. The rolling properties of full extension roller runners
deteriorate.
▸ Close the appliance door.
▸ Long touch the display.
▸ Select the application.
▸ Select the degree of soiling.
– The calculated end time for pyrolytic self-cleaning is shown in the display.

– The following appears in the display: «Residual heat in the appliance».
– The appliance door remains locked until the temperature drops below 300°C.
End
The appliance door cannot be opened until the temperature has dropped below 300°C.
▸ Wait until the appliance has cooled to hand warm to remove any residue left behind
using a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use cleaning agents.
At the front of the cooking space is the door seal. It is susceptible to abrasion and
damage from scouring. The door seal therefore requires gentle cleaning.

11.1 Light sources
This product contains light source of energy efficiency class G.
11.2 Note for testing institutes
Placing thermocouples between the appliance door and the seal can cause lack of leak-
tightness and thus measuring errors.
The usable volume within the meaning of EN 50304 / EN 60350 is obtained with the
shelf guides disassembled.
▪ For appliances with a grill: Keep the appliance door closed while grilling. The heat
could otherwise damage the operating and display elements or the fitted units above.
11.3 Temperature measurement
The temperature inside the cooking space is measured when the cooking space is
empty according to an internationally accepted standard. Own measurements can be im-
precise and are not suitable for checking the accuracy of the temperature.

12 Tips and tricks
12.1 Unsatisfactory cooking result...
… for Soft roasting
Result Solution
▪ The meat is tough. ▸ Extend the cooking time.
▸ For very lean joints of meat, shorten the cooking time.
▸ Do not use meat that is too aged.
… for baking and roasting
Result Solution
▪ The baking or roast
looks good on the
outside but is still
doughy or raw on the
inside.
▸ Next time, set a lower temperature and lengthen the operat-
ing time.
59
12 Tips and tricks
Result Solution
▪ The cake collapses. ▸ Check that the settings used correspond to those recom-
mended in «EasyCook».
▸ Next time, set a lower temperature and lengthen the operat-
ing time.
▸ Stir the cake mixture well. When finished, bake immediately.
▸ For whisked sponges, beat the egg yolks/whites to a foam
a little longer and then carefully fold into the mixture. When
finished, bake immediately.
▸ Follow the instructions on how much baking powder to add.
Result Solution
▪ The baking has
browned unevenly.
▸ Next time, set a lower temperature and adjust the operating
time.
▸ If using , and , check that the levels used corres-
pond to those recommended in «EasyCook».
▸ Do not push baking tins or bulky foodstuff right to the back
of the cooking space.
▪ The baking has come
out lighter on one
baking tray than on
the other.
▸ Check that the settings used correspond to those recom-
mended in «EasyCook».
Some uneven browning is normal. More even browning is generally achieved at
lower temperatures.
12.2 Saving energy
The «Hot air humid» and especially the «Hot air eco» applications consume less
energy than the «Hot air» application. Applications with «Top/bottom heat» con-
sume the same.
▸ Avoid opening the appliance door frequently.
▸ Only switch the illumination on when needed.
▸ Use residual heat: for cooking times over 30 minutes, switch the appliance off 5–10
minutes before the end of the operating time.
▸ Only preheat the cooking space if the cooking or baking results depend on it.
▸ Minimize preheating.
Power consumption can be reduced to a minimum by selecting «Hide time» in the
user settings. Despite EcoStandby, the safety functions remain active.
