Broiling
Keep the appliance door closed when using the broil
mode. Never broil with the appliance door open.
When broiling, try wherever possible to use pieces of
food which are of a similar thickness and weight. This will
allow them to brown evenly and remain succulent and
juicy.
Use tongs to turn the pieces of food you are broiling. If
you pierce the meat with a fork, the juices will run out and
it will become dry.
Do not add salt until after the meat has been broiled. Salt
draws water from the meat.
Notes
The grill element switches itself on and off
▯
continuously; this is normal. The grill setting
determines how frequently this occurs.
Smoke may be produced when grilling.

Recommended Setting Values
You can find the ideal heating method for many meat
dishes in the table. Temperature and cooking time
depend on the quantity, consistency, and temperature of
the food. For this reason, setting ranges are indicated.
Try using the lower values to start with. You can increase
the temperature next time if necessary.

The setting values apply to chilled meat placed into the
cold cooking compartment. If you preheat the oven, you
can reduce the indicated cooking times by several
minutes.
You can find information on roasts and default values for
weights in the table. If you wish to roast a heavy piece of
meat, you should definitely use a lower temperature. If
cooking multiple pieces, use the weight of the heaviest
piece as a reference for determining the cooking time.
The individual pieces should be approximately equal in
size.
A general rule: the larger the roast, the lower the cooking
temperature and the longer the cooking time.
Turn roasts and grilled items after approx.
indicated time.
If you wish to follow one of your own recipes, you should
use similar dishes as a reference. Additional information
can be found in the tips on roasting, braising, and grilling
listed after the settings table.
Remove unused accessories from the cooking
compartment. This will ensure that you achieve the best
possible cooking results.
