Yoghurt
You can use your appliance to make your own yoghurt.
Remove accessories and shelf supports from the
cooking compartment. The cooking compartment must
be empty.
1. Heat 1 litre of milk (3.5% fat) to 90 °C on the hob
and then leave it to cool down to 40 °C.
It is sufficient to heat UHT milk to 40 °C.
2. Stir in 30 g (approx. 1 tbsp) (chilled) yoghurt.
3. Pour into cups or small jars with lids and cover.
4. Place the cups or jars onto the cooking
compartment floor and use the settings indicated in
the table.
5. After making the yoghurt, leave it to cool in the
refrigerator.
Acrylamide in foodstuffs
Acrylamide is mainly produced in grain and potato
products prepared at high temperatures, such as potato
crisps, chips, sliced bread, bread rolls, bread or fine
baked goods (biscuits, gingerbread, spiced biscuit).
Drying
You can achieve outstanding drying results with hot air.
With this type of preserving, flavours are concentrated
as a result of the dehydration.
Only use unblemished, fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs
and wash them thoroughly. Line the wire rack with
greaseproof paper or parchment paper. Drain the
excess water from the fruit and then dry the fruit
thoroughly.
If necessary, cut it into pieces of equal size or slice it
thinly. Place unpeeled fruit onto the dish with the sliced
surfaces facing upwards. Ensure that neither fruit nor
mushrooms overlap on the wire rack.
Grate vegetables and then blanch them. Drain the
excess water from the blanched vegetables and spread
them evenly on the wire rack.
Dry herbs on the stem. Spread the herbs out evenly and
slightly heaped on the wire rack.
Use the following shelf positions for drying:
■ 1 wire rack: Position 3
■ 2 wire racks: Positions 3 + 1
Turn very juicy fruit and vegetables several times. After
drying, remove the dried food from the paper
immediately.
In the table, you will find settings for drying various
foodstuffs. The temperature and drying time are
dependent on the type, moisture, ripeness and
thickness of the food. The longer you leave the food to
be dried, the better it will be preserved. The more thinly
you slice the food, the more quickly it will dry and the
more flavour it will retain.For this reason, the table
specifies setting ranges.
If you wish to dry food that is not listed in the table, you
should use the settings listed in the table for similar
food as reference.

Tips for keeping acrylamide to a minimum
General ■ Keep cooking times as short as possible.
■ Cook food until it is golden brown, but not too dark.
■ Large, thick pieces of food contain less acrylamide.
Baking With top/bottom heating at max. 200 °C.
With hot air at max. 180 °C.
Biscuits With top/bottom heating at max. 190 °C.
With hot air at max. 170 °C.
Egg or egg yolk reduces the production of acrylamide.
Oven chips Spread out a single layer evenly on the baking tray. Cook approx. 400-600 g at once on a baking tray so
that the chips do not dry out and become crunchy.
