Tips on roasting and braising
Fish
Your appliance offers you a range of heating types for
preparing fish. You can find the ideal settings for many
dishes in the settings tables.
The whole fish does not have to be turned. Place the
whole fish into the cooking compartment in swimming
position with the dorsal fin facing upwards. Placing half
a potato or a small oven-proof container in the stomach
cavity of the fish will provide stability.
You can tell when the fish is cooked because the dorsal
fin can be removed easily.
Roasting and grilling on the wire rack
Place the food to be grilled on the wire rack. In addition,
slide the universal pan in at least one shelf position
lower, with the slanted edge facing the appliance door.
Pour up to
^
litres of water into the universal pan,
depending on the size and type of the fish. Any dripping
liquid will be caught. Less smoke is generated and the
cooking compartment stays cleaner.
Keep the appliance door closed when using the grill.
Never grill with the appliance door open.
When grilling, try wherever possible to use pieces of
food which are of a similar thickness and weight. This
will allow them to brown evenly and remain succulent
and juicy. Place the food to be grilled directly onto the
wire rack.
Use tongs to turn the pieces of food you are grilling. If
you pierce the fish with a fork, the juices will run out and
it will become dry.
Notes
■
The grill element switches itself continuously on and
off; this is normal. The set temperature determines
how frequently this occurs.
■
Smoke may be produced when grilling.
Roasting and stewing in cookware
Only use cookware which is suitable for use in an oven.
Check whether the cookware fits in the cooking
compartment.
Glass cookware is most suitable. Place hot glass
cookware onto a dry mat after cooking. If the surface is
damp or cold, the glass may crack.
Shiny roasting dishes made from stainless steel or
aluminium reflect heat like a mirror and are therefore
not particularly suitable. The fish cooks more slowly and
browns less. Use a higher temperature and/or a longer
cooking time.
Observe the manufacturer's instructions for your
roasting cookware.
Uncovered cookware
To cook a whole fish, it is best to use a deep roasting
tin/dish. Place the tin/dish onto the wire rack. If you do
not have any suitable cookware, use the universal pan.
Covered cookware
When cooking with covered cookware, the cooking
compartment remains considerably cleaner. Ensure that
the lid fits well and closes properly. Place the cookware
onto the wire rack.
When stewing, add two to three tablespoons of liquid
and a little lemon juice or vinegar into the cookware.

The cooking compartment becomes
very dirty.
Prepare your food in an enclosed roasting dish with higher temperature or use the grill tray. You will achieve
the best roasting results if you use the grill tray. The grill tray can be bought later as a special accessory.
The roast is too dark and the crack-
ling is burned in places, and/or the
roast is too dry.
Check the shelf position and temperature. Select a lower temperature the next time and reduce the roasting
time if necessary.
The crackling is too thin.
Increase the temperature or switch on the grill briefly at the end of the roasting time.
The roast looks good but the juices
are burnt.
Next time, use a smaller roasting dish and add more liquid if necessary.
The roast looks good but the juices
are too clear and watery.
Next time, use a larger roasting dish and add less liquid if necessary.
The meat gets burned during brais-
ing.
The roasting dish and lid must fit together well and close properly.
Reduce the temperature and add more liquid when braising if necessary.
