Grilling
Place the grill rack onto the supplied glass plate. Use suitable heat-resist -
ant tableware or directly put the food onto the grill.
It is not necessary to preheat the grill rack since the grill generates radiant
heat immediately.
Proceed as follows for roasting and scalloping:
1. Set the function switch to position “Grill”.
2. Use the timer to set the desired roasting time between 1 minute and
30 minutes.
NOTE:
We recommend turning the food (e.g. meat, sausage) after approx. half
of the cooking time has elapsed. The fan continues running when the
cooking process is paused.

Microwave and Grill Combination Modes
During those modes the microwave and grill work alternately within a set
time.
1.
Use the function switch to set the desired combination.
Code Microwave Grill
Comb1 30 % 70 %
Comb2 49 % 51 %
Comb3 67 % 33 %
2. Use the timer to set the desired cooking time between 1 minute and
30 minutes.
Tips for Combi Operation
When cooking food with the combined setting of microwave-grill, you
should adhere to the following:
The cooking time for big and thick food items, such as roast pork, is re
-
spectively longer than for small, lower food. Nevertheless, when roasting,
the opposite rule applies. The closer the food is to the grill, the faster
it will become brown. I.e., when preparing big joints during combi opera -
tion, the roasting time is possibly shorter than for smaller joints.
Defrosting
NOTE:
• Microwave power when defrosting is 36 % (252 W).
• Since the microwaves always penetrate the food from the outside
in, larger pieces may not be fully defrosted in their centre. The outer
layers may already have started to cook.
• Turn foodstuff such as meat, sausages or bread once after approx.
half of the defrost time has elapsed.
• Factor in a compensation time after the defrost program. This is a
standing period during which a temperature compensation takes
place through conduction of heat from the outside (defrosted) to the
inside (frozen). You can leave the food in the switched off appliance
or outside the appliance during the compensation time. The compen-
sation time should be at least as many minutes as the defrost time in
the microwave. It depends on the condition of the food.
• If the weight of the food is less than 200 g, do not place it in the mid -
dle but at the edge of the glass plate.
• You can shorten the compensation times by e.g. separating small
pieces of meat or crumbling the remaining frozen chunks of mince
after the defrosting time. For sliced bread or sausage, separate the
slices during the compensation time.
• Allow fruit to defrost in a bowl with a lid. After around half the defrost
time, gently stir the fruit once.
• Cakes or tarts with chocolate icing should not be defrosted in the
microwave.
To use the defrost program, proceed as follows:
1. Determine the weight of the food.
2. Remove the food from its packaging. If it cannot be removed from the
packaging, defrost for 30 seconds on maximum microwave power
(Switch position “High”).
3. Place the food to be defrosted onto the plate (fruit into a bowl). Also
place meat onto a upturned saucer so that the meat juices can drain.
This saucer should never be used for other foods or come into contact
with them.
4. Set the function switch to position “ Defrost”.
5. Use the timer to set the desired cooking time between 1 minute and
30 minutes.
