en How it works
ATTENTION!
When the cooking compartment is hot, any water in-
side it will create steam. The change in temperature
may cause damage.
Never pour water into the cooking compartment
when it is still hot.
Never place cookware containing water on the
cooking compartment floor.
Shelf positions
You will obtain the best results if you use the following
shelf positions.
If you are baking on one level, use shelf position 1.
Baking on 2 levels
Universal pan
Baking tray
Baking tins/dishes on two wire racks 3
Use the 4D hot air heating function.
Notes
¡ Items that are placed in the appliance on baking
trays or in baking tins/dishes at the same time will
not necessarily be ready at the same time.
¡ If you opt for cooking in combination with the mi-
crowave mode, you can only cook on one level.
30.3 Roasting, braising and grilling tips
¡ The recommended settings are for fridge-temperat-
ure food and unstuffed, oven-ready poultry.
¡ Place the poultry onto the cookware breast-side or
skin-side down.
¡ Turn roasting joints, grilled items or whole fish after
approx. ½ to ⅔ of the specified time.
Roasting on the wire rack
Food roasted on the wire rack will become very crispy
on all sides. You can roast large poultry, for example,
or multiple individual pieces at the same time.
¡ Roast pieces of a similar weight and thickness. The
grilled food will brown evenly and will remain succu-
lent and juicy.
¡ Place the food to be roasted directly on the wire
rack.
¡ To catch any liquids that drip down, place the uni-
versal pan into the cooking compartment one level
below the wire rack.
¡ Add up to ½ litre of water to the universal pan, de-
pending on the size and type of food that you want
to roast.
You can make a sauce from the juices that are col-
lected. This also means that less smoke is pro-
duced and the cooking compartment does not be-
come as dirty.
Roasting in cookware
If you cover the cookware when you cook your food,
this will keep the cooking compartment cleaner.

Information for those allergic to nickel
In rare cases, small amounts of nickel may pass into
the food.
The "Grill" type of heating 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.
