Gentle hot air heating function

Gentle hot air is an intelligent heating function that 

allows you to gently cook meat, fish and baked items. 

The appliance optimally controls the supply of energy to 

the cooking compartment. The food is cooked in 

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 Gentle hot air 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:

■

Position 2 – tall baked items and tins/dishes on the 

wire rack

■

Position 3 – shallow baked items and baking trays

Baking on two or more levels

Use the hot air heating function. 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, position 3

Baking tray, position 1

■

Baking tins/dishes on the wire rack

First wire rack, position 3

Second wire rack, position 1

Baking on three levels:

■

Baking tray, position 5

Universal pan, position 3

Baking tray, position 1

You can cut energy use by cooking different 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.
