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
If you are using the 4D hot air type of heating, you can
choose between shelf positions 1, 2, 3 and 4. You will
obtain the best results if you use the following shelf po-
sitions.

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.

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.
