WARNING ‒ Risk of scalding!
Very hot steam may escape when the lid is opened
after cooking. Steam may not be visible, depending on
the temperature.
Lift the lid in such a way that the hot steam can es-
▶
cape away from you.
Keep children away from the appliance.

Grilling
Grill food if you want it to be crispy.
The "Grill" heating function is good for cooking thinner
pieces of poultry, meat and fish such as steaks, drum-
sticks and burgers. It is also excellent for toasting
bread.
Circulated air grilling is very well suited to cooking
whole poultry and fish, as well as meat, e.g. roast pork
with crackling.
¡ When grilling several food items, choose pieces that
are of a similar weight and thickness. The grilled
food will brown evenly and will remain succulent
and juicy.
¡ Place the food to be grilled directly onto the wire
rack.
¡ To catch any liquids that drip down, place the uni-
versal pan into the cooking compartment at least
one level below the wire rack.
Notes
¡ The grill element switches on and off continuously.
This is normal. The grill setting that you use determ-
ines how frequently this occurs.
¡ Smoke may be produced when grilling.
25.4 Cooking instructions for ready meals
¡ The cooking result greatly depends on the quality of
the food. Pre-browning and irregularities are some-
times already present on the raw product.
¡ Do not use frozen products that are covered with a
thick layer of ice. Remove any ice on the food.
¡ Distribute foods that are in the form of separate
pieces, such as bread rolls and potato products, so
that they are spread out flat and evenly on the ac-
cessory. Leave a little space between the individual
pieces.
¡ Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the pack-
aging.
¡ If the packaging specifies a higher value than the
maximum power of the appliance, use the next low-
est a higher value the next lowest wattage setting on
the appliance. To achieve the same results, in-
crease the cooking time.
25.5 Microwave cooking
If you use the microwave mode, you can reduce the
cooking time considerably.
General information
¡ When using the microwave mode, the cooking time
is determined based on the total weight.
If you want to cook a quantity that differs from the
specified quantity, the general rule is Double the
quantity requires just under double the cooking
time.
¡ The food transfers heat to the cookware. The cook-
ware can become very hot.
¡ In the main part of the instruction manual, you will
find information on how to configure the microwave
and microwave combination oven settings.

Cooking, braising or steaming using the
microwave mode
¡ Use microwave-safe cookware with a lid. Alternat-
ively, you can use a plate or special microwaveable
film to cover the dish.
¡ For cereal products, e.g. rice, use deep cookware
with a lid. Cereal products foam a lot during cook-
ing. Add liquid in accordance with the instructions
and information provided in the recommended set-
tings tables.
¡ Do not wash or dry food. Add 1-3 tablespoons of
water or lemon juice to the food.
¡ Spread the food out so that as much of it as pos-
sible is in contact with the bottom of the cookware.
Food that is in contact with the bottom will cook
more quickly than food that is piled up.
¡ Use salt and seasoning sparingly. When cooking
food using the microwave mode, most of the food's
natural flavour will be retained.
¡ Turn or stir the food 2-3 times during cooking.
¡ After cooking, leave the food to rest for 2-3 minutes.
