Grilling


Risk of injury caused by hot
surfaces.
If you grill with the door open, hot air
will escape from the oven instead of
being cooled by the cooling fan. The
control elements will get hot.
Grill with the oven door closed.

Tips for grilling

- Pre-heating is necessary when
grilling. Pre-heat the top heat/grill
element for approx. 5 minutes with
the door closed.
- Trim the meat if necessary. Season
meat 10-15 minutes before cooking.
- Add a little oil to lean meat if necessary.
Do not use other types of fat as they
can easily burn and cause smoke.
- Clean fish in the normal way. To
enhance the flavour, season with a
little salt. Fish can also be drizzled
with lemon juice.
- Use the universal tray with the rack or
the grilling and roasting insert (if
present) placed on top. The meat
juices will collect in the tray under the
insert and stop them from burning so
that they can be used for making
gravy and sauces.
- To grill, brush the rack with oil and
then place the food on the rack.

- Your oven also has a rotisserie which is
ideal for cooking rolled meat and poultry
(see "Grilling with the rotisserie").

Notes on the cooking charts

You can find the cooking charts at the
end of this book.
 Take note of the temperature range,
the shelf levels and the timings.
These take the size of the meat and
cooking practices into account.
 Check the food after the shortest
duration quoted.
Selecting the temperature 
 As a general rule, select the lower
temperature given in the chart. If
higher temperatures than those
specified are used, the meat will
brown on the outside, but will not be
properly cooked through.
Choosing a shelf level
 Select the shelf level depending on the
thickness of the food to be cooked.
 Place flat food on shelf level 2 or 3.
 Place thicker food on shelf level 1 or 2.
Selecting the cooking duration 
 Grill thinner cuts of meat/slices of fish
for approx. 6–8 minutes per side.
It is best to grill food of a similar
thickness at the same time so that
the cooking durations do not vary too
much.
