Cooking food

WARNING ‒ Risk of burns!

Heated food gives off heat. The cookware may become
hot.

Always use oven gloves to remove cookware or ac-
cessories from the cooking compartment.

1.

Check whether the cookware fits in the cooking
compartment and that the turntable can turn freely.
– For roasting, use a deep dish.
– For bakes or gratins, use large, flat cookware.

2.

Distribute the food flat in the cookware.

3.

When cooking with the microwave, cover the food
with a suitable lid, a plate or special microwave foil.

Do not cover the food when grilling.

Do not cover the food when combining the mi-
crowave and grill.

4.

Always place the cookware on the turntable.

Always place the wire rack on the turntable when
grilling. Do not preheat.

5.

Start the operation.

6.

To even out the temperature, leave the heated food
to stand at room temperature for approx. 2–5
minutes.

Leave the meat to sit for 5–10 minutes before
cutting it.

Leave bakes and gratins to stand for five minutes
in the appliance while it is switched off.

Tip: 

Always use wooden skewers for fish skewers or

vegetable skewers.
