Technology and innovation are paramount at Siemens.

If there‘s one thing we‘re proud of at Siemens, it‘s the continuous stream of innovative ideas and imaginative technology our designers turn out every day. Suffice to say, a great many of their ideas make it to your kitchen.

Electronic controls

Our ovens are designed to be clear and simple to use. The hi-precision electronic temperature sensor is accurate right down to the last few degrees. With a range from 30°C to 300°C, this incredible sensor is able to maintain the temperature of the oven to a more accurate temperature level. This means that the ultra-low temperature required for producing yoghurt is just as accurately maintained as the 200°C for baking bread, ensuring total success time after time.

Energy class A-20%

The EU has put legislation in place to encourage the development and marketing of energy- efficient appliances. Naturally, as the number one brand in Built-in Appliances in Europe,

we not only welcome this scheme but actively support and promote these initiatives.

At Siemens the environment means a great deal.

That‘s why all Siemens single ovens and double oven main cavities achieve an ‘A’ energy rating and all secondary double oven cavities a ‘B’ rating.

Energy consumption per kg

90% of the environmental impact of an appliance occurs during use, which is why our most important contribution towards protecting the environment is to develop products that conserve energy. A comparison of energy consumption between a 1993 oven and the latest model shows a reduction of a third.

Automatic temperature display proposal

Depending on which cooking function you choose, the oven will automatically suggest the temperature at which that function will produce the optimum results. Temperature can be manually adjusted using the central control dial or the +/- keys.

MMemory

When you start cooking, if you select function, temperature and cooking duration and press the ‘M’ button, the process is stored in the oven‘s memory. To recall the stored process, simply press ‘M‘ and the start button. Please check individual product specifications to see which models have this feature.

Fast pre-heating function

No more waiting for the oven to reach the right temperature! Siemens have now made fast pre-heating available on all our multi-function models. This uses all the heating elements at full power to heat up the oven around 30% faster than normal, and once the required temperature is reached, an alarm signal sounds on the electronic multi-function models and the oven

cookControl

Allows for the simple and trouble-free cooking of stews, casseroles and roasts. All you have to do is select the desired programme from the menu and enter the weight. The oven will automatically select the cooking function, temperature and time. You can, if you want, adjust the programme to suit your personal taste. The programmes are designed so you don’t need to turn, stir, baste or otherwise tend to the food. Depending on the model, cookControl offers 34 specially and intensively tested programmes, focusing on meat, poultry, fish, stews and casseroles. Please check individual product specifications to see which models have this feature.

Cleaning should be as much of a pleasure as cooking.

automatically reverts back to the chosen cooking mode.

On the standard multi-function ovens, this feature is operated by selecting the correct position on the cooking dial and then selecting the cooking temperature. Once the temperature is achieved, you simply return the dial to the required cooking function.

The ultimate in interior lighting

Because it gives off an extra bright, crisp, white light, the halogen interior light has many advantages over standard lights. It’s perfect for illuminating large interiors for a clear view of the contents as well as using very little energy.

We know you want easy-to-clean ovens, which is why we‘ve developed a range of pyroKlean and activeKlean cleaning systems for our ovens.

If cooking is a pleasure, now the cleaning is too. Siemens recognises that you want easy-to-clean ovens, which is

Oven residual heat indicator

With the residual heat indicator bars, the temperature of the oven is displayed even after the oven has been switched off, reducing in stages down to 60°C, so that food can be kept warm until you need it. Once all the bars have extinguished, the
