Defrosting
Use heating type "CircoTherm" to defrost frozen fruit,
vegetables and baked items. Poultry, meat and fish
should ideally be defrosted in the refrigerator.
Use the following shelf position for defrosting:
■ Baking tray: Level 1
Recommended setting values
The times in the table are average values. They are
dependent on the quality, freezing temperature (-18 °C)
and composition of the food. Time ranges are indicated.
Set the shortest time first and then extend the time if
necessary.
Tip: Items which were frozen flat or portioned defrost
faster than those frozen in a block.
Remove frozen food from the packaging and place it in
suitable cookware onto the wire rack.
Stir the food or turn it once or twice in between. Large
pieces of food should be turned several times.
Occasionally split the food or remove items which have
already defrosted from the cooking compartment.
Leave the defrosted food to rest for another 10 to 30
minutes in the appliance whilst it is switched off, so that
the temperature balances out.
Type of heating used:
■ ‚ CircoTherm
Keeping warm
You can keep cooked dishes warm using the top/
bottom heating type at 70 °C. This will avoid
condensation developing, and means you will not have
to wipe out the cooking compartment.
Do not keep cooked dishes warm for longer than two
hours. Be aware that some dishes may continue
cooking whilst being kept warm. Cover the dishes if
necessary.
Test dishes
These tables have been produced for test institutes to
facilitate appliance testing.
As per EN 60350-1.
Baking
Baked items that are placed into the oven on trays or in
baking tins/dishes at the same time will not necessarily
be ready at the same time.
Shelf positions for baking on two levels:
■ Universal pan: Level 3
Baking tray: Level 1
Apple pie
Apple pie on one level: place dark-coloured springform
cake tins diagonally next to each other.
Cakes in tinplate springform cake tins: bake on one
level with top/bottom heating. Place the springform
cake tin onto the universal pan instead of onto the wire
rack.
Notes
■ The setting values apply to dishes placed into a cold
cooking compartment.
■ Please note the information in the tables about
preheating. The setting values are valid without rapid
heating-up.
■ For baking, use the lower of the indicated
temperatures first.
