Want to unlock the full potential of your oven? Just connect your oven with your registered Home Connect account (www.home-connect.com) to control it from anywhere and use digital services – even by voice with Amazon Alexa or Google Assist. Start and end cooking programmes, change settings and manage favourites – without being in the kitchen. Settings are synced between the app and oven, and you will get push notifications when the programme is done. Software downloads keep your oven up to date. Enjoy cooking on your own terms.

You’re not always sure which programme is right for which dish? Simply tell your oven via your Amazon Alexa Voice Control device which dish you want to prepare. Or, alternatively, via the Home Connect App. The Oven Assistant will then suggest suitable settings or programmes and switch directly to your selection – a shortcut that really saves you time. To enjoy the Oven Assistant just connect your oven with your registered Home Connect account.

Hang up your oven-cleaning gloves for good. Thanks to the activeClean® function, your oven now cleans itself. Just remove any loose remnants, and the oven does the rest. At the touch of a button, all deposits from baking, roasting and grilling are turned to ash at high temperature. Use a damp cloth to wipe surfaces clean and you’re done.

To ensure best results, cookControl30 provides up to 30 automatic programs for the perfect preparation of your dishes. Simply select the desired program and enter the food's weight – everything else is automatic.

Get the baking results you’re looking for every time with 3D hotAir Plus. Using one, two or three levels, the heat is distributed evenly to make baking even more of a pleasure. Bake cake or biscuits on up to three levels simultaneously – and enjoy excellent results every time.

Relaxed operation of the oven without pressing and pulling. The intelligent damping mechanism ensures that the oven door opens and closes gently.

Operation meets fascination: lightControl. The new lightControl knob highlights every chosen heating symbol with a stylish blue light – turning the operation into an intuitive and exciting experience.

The fastPreheat function heats the oven rapidly. With coolStart you can speed up the cooking of frozen food as there’s no preheating needed – your dish will be done in the same number of minutes you see on the packaging. Both intelligent functions save you precious time when you need fast results.

Familiarising yourself with your new oven is now easier than ever. With the Home Connect app, you have instant access to everything you need to know.

Siemens Customer Service will access the appliance with your permission to find and fix any issues. To enjoy this benefit, just sync your oven with your registered Home Connect account.
