Cooking Guide(continued)

GRILL

The grill-heating element is located underneath the ceiling of the cavity. It operates 
while the door is closed and the turntable is rotating. The turntable’s rotation 
makes the food brown more evenly. Preheating the grill for 4 minutes will make the 
food brown more quickly.

Cookware for grilling:

Should be flameproof and may include metal. Do not use any type of plastic 
cookware, as it can melt.

Food suitable for grilling:

Chops, sausages, steaks, hamburgers, bacon and gammon rashers, thin fish 
portions, sandwiches and all kinds of toast with toppings.

IMPORTANT REMARK:

Whenever the grill only mode is used, make sure that the grill-heating element is 
under the ceiling in the horizontal position and not on the back-wall in the vertical 
position. Please remember that food must be placed on the high rack, unless 
another instruction is recommended.

MIC GRILL

This cooking mode combines the radiant heat that is coming from the grill with the 
speed of microwave cooking. It operates only while the door is closed and the 
turntable is rotating. Due to the rotation of the turntable, the food browns evenly. 
Three combina-tion modes are available with this model: 600 W + Grill, 450 W + 
Grill and 300 W + Grill.

Cookware for cooking with mic grill

Please use cookware that microwaves can pass through. Cookware should be 
flame-proof.
Do not use metal cookware with combination mode. Do not use any type of plas-
tic cookware, as it can melt.

Food suitable for mic grill cooking:

Food suitable for combination mode cooking include all kinds of cooked food 
which need reheating and browning (e.g. baked pasta), as well as foods which 
require a short cooking time to brown the top of the food. Also, this mode can be 
used for thick food portions that benefit from a browned and crispy top (e.g. 
chicken pieces, turning them over half way through cooking). Please refer to the 
grill table for further details.

IMPORTANT REMARK:

Whenever the combination mode (mic grill) is used, make sure that the 
grill heating element is under the ceiling in the horizontal position and not on the 
back-wall in the vertical position. The food should be placed on the high rack, 
unless another instruction is recommended. Otherwise it has to be placed directly 
on the turntable.
Please refer to the instructions in the following chart.

The food must be turned over, if it is to be browned on both sides.
