Defrosting
You can defrost frozen food in your appliance.
Tips for defrosting food
¡ You can use the appliance to defrost frozen fruit, ve-
getables or baked goods.
¡ It is better to defrost poultry, meat and fish in the re-
frigerator.
¡ Remove frozen food from its packaging before you
defrost it.
¡ The recommended settings are for freezer-temperat-
ure food (-18°C).
¡ When defrosting food, use the following shelf posi-
tions:
– 1 wire rack: Shelf position 2
– 2 wire racks: Shelf positions 3+1
¡ Stir or turn the food 1-2times during defrosting.
Turn large items several times. Split the food into
smaller pieces as it defrosts.
Remove pieces that have already defrosted from the
cooking compartment.
¡ Once the food has defrosted, switch off the appli-
ance and leave the food in the appliance for another
10 to 30minutes to allow the temperature to equal-
ise.
Reheating
You can use steam-assisted reheating to gently warm
up food. The food tastes and looks as though it has
been freshly cooked. You can even warm and crisp up
baked goods from the day before.
Tips for reheating food
¡ Use uncovered, heat-resistant cookware that is suit-
able for cooking with steam.
¡ Use wide, shallow cookware. Reheating takes
longer if you use cold cookware.
¡ Place the cookware on the wire rack.
¡ Place food that you are not reheating in cookware
(e.g. bread rolls) directly onto the wire rack at
level2.
¡ Do not cover the food.
¡ Do not open the cooking compartment door while
the food is being reheated, otherwise large amounts
of steam will escape.
¡ Wipe the cooking compartment dry after using it to
reheat food.

The information in this section is provided for test institutes to facilitate testing of the appliance in accordance with
EN 60350‑1.
Baking
¡ The setting values apply to food that is placed into a
cold cooking compartment.
¡ Please take note of the information on preheating in
the recommended settings tables. These setting val-
ues assume that the rapid heat-up function is not
being used.
¡ For baking, use the lower of the specified temperat-
ures to start with.
¡ Items that are placed in the appliance on baking
trays or in baking tins/dishes at the same time will
not necessarily be ready at the same time.
¡ Shelf positions when baking on 2levels:
– Universal pan: Shelf position3
Baking tray: Shelf position1
– Baking tins/dishes on the wire rack:
First wire rack: Shelf position3
Second wire rack: Shelf position1
¡ Shelf positions when baking on 3levels:
– Baking tray: Shelf position5
– Universal pan: Shelf position3
– Baking tray: Shelf position1
¡ Hot water sponge cake
– When baking on two levels, place the springform
tins at diagonally opposite corners of the wire
racks.
