Switching the Oven ON and OFF – mini oven Before switching on your oven, you should decide which heating system you wish to use. Switching the oven ON: 1. Use the function selector to determine the desired system. 2. Set the temperature control knob to the desired temperature. The selected temperature will be controlled automatically. The oven temperature control lamp illuminates when the oven is first switched on, and extinguishes when the required temperature has been reached.
Baking – main oven Using baking tins Always place baking tins in the centre of the baking wire shelf. We recommend dark metallic baking tins. Notes Light coloured baking tins made from thin-wall materials lead to longer baking times and uneven browning of the cake. You can influence the degree of browning by changing the temperature setting. If a cake collapses after removing it from the oven, consider using a longer baking time, or use a slightly lower temperature setting.
Cooking Tips and Helpful Hints The bottom of a cake baked on a baking sheet stays too light Remove from the oven all baking sheets or universal pan currently not in use. The bottom of a cake baked in a tin stays too light Use a wire shelf and not a baking sheet to support the cake tin during baking. The bottom of cake or cookies gets too dark Set cake or cookies into a higher set of shelf position. The cake gets too dry Select a slightly higher oven temperature, and shorter baking time.
Roasting – main oven Place the wire shelf into the universal pan and slide them together into the same shelf position. Meat can be roasted in the oven in a particularly economical fashion if the weight of the cut exceeds 750 grams. Roasting in an uncovered pot Rinse the universal pan and/or the roaster with water, and place the meat into it. With fat meat and poultry, pour 125 to 250 ml of water (to suit the size and kind of roast) into the universal pan.
Tips Big, high roasts, goose, turkey, duck = Long roasting times, low temperatures Medium sized, low roasts = Medium roasting times, medium temperatures Small, flat roasts = Short roasting times, high temperatures Roasting time per cm of meat height without bones app. 13-15 minutes Roasting time per cm of meat height with bones app. 15-18 minutes We recommend using the lower of the stated temperatures first. In general, the lower temperature ensures a more even browning.
Grilling – main oven Circotherm grilling Exercise CAUTION when grilling. Always keep children at a safe distance. Notes on grilling Always close the oven door when grilling. The grilling temperatures are variable. Always use the wire shelf and the universal pan. Always place food to be grilled in the centre of the wire shelf. If the grill element (heating element) switches OFF automatically, the overheating protection was activated. The radiator will be reactivated after a short period of time.
Circo-roasting , Use this method for particularly crispy poultry or roast (e.g., pork roast with crackling). Use the wire shelf and universal pan together. Turn large roasts after about half of the total grilling time has elapsed. To prevent breakage after removing them from the oven, place glass utensils on a dry kitchen towel instead of cold or wet surfaces. Dependent on the type of food being prepared, combination hot-air and surface grilling can cause an increased degree of oven soiling.
Roasting – mini oven Roasting with conventional heat Follow the steps above. With fatty meat 125 – 250 ml (4 – 8floz) of water can be poured into the roasting pan. Baste the meat if desired. Place in a cold oven to save energy or pre-heat if desired. 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 at a suitable shelf position.
Grilling – mini oven Exercise CAUTION when grilling. Always keep children at a safe distance. Notes on grilling Always close the oven door when grilling. The grilling temperatures are variable. Always use the wire shelf and the universal pan. Always place food to be grilled in the centre of the wire shelf. If the grill element (heating element) switches OFF automatically, the overheating protection was activated. The radiator will be reactivated after a short period of time.
Defrosting and cooking – main oven Defrosting with circotherm Important heating system information For defrosting and cooking of frozen or deepfrozen foods, use only the circotherm. With all deep-frozen foods, follow the food processing company‘s instructions on the package. As a rule, defrosted frozen or deep-frozen foods (especially meats) require less cooking time than fresh products, since freezing has a pre-cooking effect.
Defrosting and cooking Raw deep-frozen products or foods from a freezer always defrost at 50° C. Higher defrosting temperatures may cause the food to dry out. Defrost deep-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 at 130 – 140° C. Attention: Pot handles must be oven-proof. Defrost and warm up deep-frozen baked goods at 100 – 140° C.
Defrost – main oven Function selector Temperature selector Recommended for delicate bakeware only (i.e., whipped-cream gateaus). 1. Turn the function selector to position *. 2. Reduce the oven temperature with the temperature selector until – – – is displayed. The fan at the oven wall runs without heat being generated. Depending on size and type of bakeware, defrost for 25 – 45 minutes. After this time, remove the pastry from the oven. Let stand at room temperature for 30 – 40 minutes.
Switching ON 1. Carefully pour 50 millilitres of water (1/4 glass) onto the floor of the oven cavity. 2. Place the bowl containing the dough onto the middle of a wire shelf inserted at level 1. Do not cover the dough. 3. Close the oven door. 4. Turn the function selector to position z. The z indicator light comes on and – { – is shown on the display. The proving process is controlled automatically. If – { – flashes whe the oven is switched on, the oven is too hot. Switch the oven off.
Cleaning and Care Important cleaning basics For cleaning, do not use abrasives, no corrosive cleaners, and no sharp objects. Do not scratch off burnt-in food residues, but soak them off with a moist cloth and dishwashing detergent. Cleaning products we particularly recommend can be purchased from our customer service. Appliance exterior Stainless steel/ aluminium front Use commercially available detergents applied to a soft, moistened cloth or a chamois.
Note: To prevent soiling use: • CircoTherm hot air. The CircoTherm hot air mode causes less soiling than the others. • the universal pan to bake very moist cakes. • suitable utensils (frying pan) for frying. For easier cleaning you can switch on the oven lamp and take off the oven door. For cleaning the mating surface of the oven door at the front of the oven, the door should be removed. Enamel areas in the oven Use hot soapy water or a vinegar solution.
Catalytic oven surfaces Cleaning the catalytic surfaces of the oven The rear wall, the oven ceiling and the side walls of the oven are coated with self-cleaning enamel. The surface cleans itself while the oven is in operation. Large splashes sometimes only disappear after the oven has been used several times. Never use oven cleaner on catalytic surfaces of the oven. Should the enamel become slightly stained, this will not affect its self-cleaning properties.
AquaCleanse – main oven d The oven cleaning function featured in your oven is intended to help you keep your oven neat and tidy. An amount of cleaning solution is vaporised automatically. The combined effects of heat and steam soften the soil deposits on the oven wall enamel and facilitate their removal. Caution: Never pour cold water into the oven while it is still hot. The cleaning system can only be activated when the oven has cooled down completely (room temperature).
After deactivating the oven cleaning function Cleaning tips: Never leave the residual water in the oven for any length of time, e.g. overnight. 1. Open the oven door and pick up the remaining water with a large absorbent sponge cloth. 2. Using the detergent-soaked sponge cloth, a soft brush or a plastic pot scrubber, wipe of the oven interior. Stubborn soil remnants can be removed with a cleaning scraper for glass-ceramic.
