Added steam function: Adding steam when cooking prevents drying out of food so when baking bread you get a crispy crust and the bread is fluffy from the inside. Simply fill the integrated water bowl and set the heating mode “hotair steam”.
Pyrolytic Cleaning: The pyrolytic cleaning function uses high temperatures to burn away grease inside the oven, leaving nothing but ashes that can be swept away, leaving the oven spotless.
The built-in oven with 3D hot air: The 3D hot air function distributes heat quickly and evenly throughout the oven for perfect results on up to 3 levels simultaneously.
Added steam function: Crispy from the outside. Fluffy from the inside.
By adding steam when making dishes like bread, your food comes out even better and more tasty. Steam prevents drying out of food, provides a deliciously crispy crust, and keeps the bread fluffy from the inside. Simply fill the requested amount of water in the removable and dishwasher-suitable little water bowl, which is integrated in the oven bottom, and set the heating mode “hotair steam”.
AutoPilot 10: Automatic cooking made easy.
With AutoPilot 10, you can cook your meal to perfection. Set one of 10 automatic cooking programs in the display menu, add the weight of the dish, and press “Start”. AutoPilot then takes over and determines the cooking mode, temperature, and cooking duration. It even switches off the program towards the end of the cooking time. As some dishes with the AutoPilot require the use of ovenware with a lid, the interior walls also stay clean. Cooking couldn’t be simpler.
Cleaning Assistance: Easy cleaning in between.
Your oven is just a little dirty, and you want to clean it quickly? Just place approximately 400ml of water and a drop of washing-up liquid in the base pan, and then set the appropriate heating mode (bottom heat), temperature (80°C), and duration (4 minutes). The environmentally friendly cleaning system softens baked-on residues so you can just wipe it down for fast and uncomplicated oven cleaning.
