Here, you can find the ideal settings for various types
of food as well as the best accessories and cookware.
We have perfectly tailored these recommendations to
your appliance.
Tip:A lot of other information about the preparation,
corresponding adjustment values and recipes can be
found in the HomeConnect app or on our website
siemens-home.bsh-group.com.
28.1 General cooking tips
Take note of the following information when cooking all
types of food.
¡ The temperature and cooking time depend on the
amount of food and the recipe. Settings ranges are
specified for this reason. Try using the lower values
to start with.
¡ The setting values apply to food placed in the cook-
ing compartment while the cooking compartment is
still cold. If you want to preheat anyway, do not
place accessories into the cooking compartment un-
til it has finished preheating.
¡ Remove any accessories that are not being used
from the cooking compartment.
ATTENTION!
Acidic food may damage the grid
▶ Do not place acidic food, such as fruit or food with
an acidic marinade directly on the pan support.
Information for those allergic to nickel
In rare cases, small amounts of nickel may pass into
the food.
You can buy suitable accessories from customer ser-
vice, from specialist retailers or online.

28.2 Baking tips
¡ Dark-coloured metal baking tins are most suitable
for baking cakes, bread and other baked goods.
¡ Use wide, shallow cookware for bakes and gratins.
Food takes longer to cook in deep, narrow cook-
ware and it browns more on top.
¡ Silicone moulds are not suitable.
¡ If you are cooking bakes directly in the universal
pan, place the universal pan into the cooking com-
partment at level2.
¡ The setting values for bread dough apply to both
dough placed on a baking tray and dough placed in
a loaf tin.
ATTENTION!
When the cooking compartment is hot, any water in-
side it will create steam. The change in temperature
may cause damage.
▶ Never pour water into the cooking compartment
when it is still hot.
▶ Never place cookware containing water on the
cooking compartment floor.

Note: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.
28.3 Roasting, braising and grilling tips
¡ The recommended settings are for fridge-temperat-
ure food and unstuffed, oven-ready poultry.
¡ Place the poultry onto the cookware breast-side or
skin-side down.
¡ Turn roasting joints, grilled items or whole fish after
approx. ½ to ⅔ of the specified time.
Roasting on the wire rack
Food roasted on the wire rack will become very crispy
on all sides. You can roast large poultry, for example,
or multiple individual pieces at the same time.
¡ Roast pieces of a similar weight and thickness. The
grilled food will brown evenly and will remain succu-
lent and juicy.
¡ Place the food to be roasted directly on the wire
rack.
