phases using residual heat. This means that it remains 
more succulent and browns less. Depending on the 
method of preparation and the type of food, it is 
possible to save energy. If you open the appliance door 
before the food has finished cooking or if you preheat 
the appliance, you may not be able to achieve this 
result.
Only use genuine accessories for your appliance. 
These have been tailored to the cooking compartment 
and the heating functions of your appliance. Remove 
any accessories that are not being used from the 
cooking compartment.
Place the food into the empty cooking compartment 
before the oven is heated up. Select a temperature of 
between 120 °C and 230 °C.Always keep the 
appliance door closed when cooking. Only cook on one 
level when using this function.
The CircoTherm gentle heating function is used to 
measure both the energy consumption in air 
recirculation mode and the energy efficiency class.
Baking on one level
When baking on one level, use the following shelf 
positions:
■ Tall baked goods or tin on wire rack: Level 2
■ Flat baked goods or goods in a baking tray: Level 3
Baking on two or more levels
Use CircoTherm. Items that are placed in the oven on 
baking trays or in baking tins/dishes at the same time 
will not necessarily be ready at the same time.
Baking on two levels:
■ Universal pan: Level 3
Baking tray: Level 1
■ Baking tins/dishes on the wire rack
First wire rack: Level 3
Second wire rack: Level 1
Baking on 3 levels:
■ Baking tray: Level 4
Universal pan: Level 3
Baking tray: Level 1
You can cut energy use by up to 45% by preparing 
items at the same time. Position baking tins/dishes 
either next to one another or offset on different shelves 
so that they are not directly one above the other in the 
cooking compartment.
Accessories
Only use original accessories supplied with your 
appliance. These have been tailored to the cooking 
compartment and the operating modes of your 
appliance.
Ensure that you always use suitable accessories and 
that they are placed in the oven the right way around.

Greaseproof paper
Only use greaseproof paper that is suitable for the 
selected temperature. Always cut greaseproof paper to 
size.
Cakes and pastries
Your appliance offers you a range of heating types for 
the preparation of cakes and small baked items. You 
can find the ideal settings for many dishes in the 
settings tables.
Also refer to the notes in the section on allowing dough 
to rise.
Baking tins
For optimal cooking results, we recommend using dark-
coloured metal baking tins.
Tinplate baking tins, ceramic dishes and glass dishes 
extend baking time and mean that the baked item will 
not brown evenly.
If you are using silicone moulds, follow the 
manufacturer's instructions and recipes. Silicone 
moulds are often smaller than normal baking tins. 
Quantity and recipe specifications may vary.
Frozen products
Do not use frozen products that are heavily frosted. 
Remove any ice on the food.
Some frozen products may be unevenly pre-baked. 
Uneven browning may remain even after baking.
Bread and rolls
Caution!
Never pour water into the hot cooking compartment or 
place cookware containing water onto the bottom of the 
cooking compartment. The change in temperature can 
cause damage to the enamel.
Some food turns out better if it is baked in several 
stages. These dishes are indicated in the table.
The setting values for bread dough apply to both dough 
placed on a baking tray and dough placed in a loaf tin.
