■
door closed and do not preheat.

Combined grill and microwave

Notes
Use the wire rack to place the cookware on.
■
Use a high-sided dish for roasting. This keeps the cooking
■
compartment cleaner.
Use large shallow cookware for bakes and gratins. Food
■
takes longer to cook in narrow, deep containers and browns
more on top.

Place the wire rack on the glass pan so that this catches the
■
meat juices.
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.
Dark meat, e.g. beef, browns more quickly than lighter-
■
coloured meat such as veal or pork. When grilling light-
coloured meat or fish fillets, these often only brown slightly on
the surface, although they are cooked and juicy on the inside.

Check that your cookware fits in the cooking compartment. It
■
should not be too big.
Leave the meat to rest for another 5-10 minutes before
■
carving it. This allows the meat juices to be distributed evenly
so that they do not run out when the meat is carved.
Bakes and gratins should be left to cook in the appliance for
■
a further 5 minutes after the appliance has been switched off.
Always set the maximum cooking time. Check the food after
■
the shorter time specified.
