Tips for cooking in cookware
WARNING ‒ Risk of injury!
If hot glass cookware is placed on a wet or cold sur-
face, the glass may shatter.
Place hot glass ovenware on a dry mat after cook-
▶
ing.
¡ Only use cookware that is suitable for what you in-
tend to use it for.
Glass ovenware is the most suitable.
Check whether the cookware fits in the cooking
compartment.
¡ Stainless steel and aluminium roasting trays that
have a shiny surface are not suitable for microwave
use.
During conventional cooking, shiny roasting trays re-
flect heat like a mirror, meaning that they are not en-
tirely suitable.
The poultry, meat or fish cooks slower and does not
brown so well.
Use a higher temperature and a longer cooking
time for conventional cooking.
¡ Follow the cookware manufacturer's instructions.
Cookware without a lid
¡ To cook poultry, meat and fish, it is best to use a
deep roasting tin.
¡ Place the tin on the bottom of the cooking compart-
ment.
¡ If you would like to cook using added steam, use
cookware without a lid.
¡ If you do not have any suitable cookware, use the
glass tray.
Cookware with a lid
¡ Ensure that the lid fits well and closes properly.
¡ Place the cookware on the wire rack.
Tips for cooking in combination with the
microwave
¡ Cooking in combination with the microwave consid-
erably reduces the cooking time.
¡ When using the microwave, the cooking time is de-
termined 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".
¡ Use heat-resistant, microwave-safe cookware.

Tips for cooking with added steam
¡ Certain dishes become crispier if cooked using ad-
ded steam. Their surface becomes glossier and
they dry out less.
¡ Use cookware without a lid.
¡ Use cookware that is heat-resistant and steam-res-
istant.
¡ Cook with added steam if it is indicated in the set-
tings table.
¡ Fill the water tank up to the "MAX" mark. If the appli-
ance runs out of water, it will continue to cook your
meal with the selected type of heating but without
added steam.
Tips for steaming food using the steam
container
¡ In contrast to cooking with added steam, the steam-
ing function cooks the meat particularly gently but it
does not become crispy on the outside. It remains
very succulent.
¡ You can also sear pieces of meat before steaming,
which will reduce their cooking time and give them
a slightly different flavour. Larger pieces require a
longer cooking time. Pieces of meat do not need to
be turned.
¡ To steam poultry, meat or fish, place the item to be
cooked on the steam container in the glass tray and
then place this in the cooking compartment at shelf
position 3.
¡ Fill the water tank up to the "MAX" mark. If the water
tank runs dry during operation, the operation will be
paused. You will be alerted to this by a message on
the display.
Grilling tips
¡ Keep the appliance door closed when using the
grill. Never grill with the appliance door open.
¡ Place the food to be grilled directly on the wire rack.
Place the glass dish underneath the wire rack as
well. Any dripping fat will be caught.
¡ Try to use pieces of food of a similar thickness and
weight. This will allow them to brown evenly and re-
main succulent and juicy.
¡ Use tongs to turn the pieces of food you are grilling.
If you pierce the meat with a fork, the juices will run
out and it will become dry.
¡ Do not add salt to the meat until it has been grilled.
Salt draws water from the meat.
Note: The grill elements continuously switch on and off;
this is normal. The grill setting determines how fre-
quently this occurs.
