Grilling with the rotary spit
The rotary spit is particularly good for cooking large roasts,
such as rolled roasting joints or poultry. The meat becomes
crispy and brown.
Preparing roasts
To ensure that the roast is well-browned and cooked evenly,
observe the following points:
Skewering and securing the meat to the spit
Position the roast as close as possible to the centre of the
rotary spit.
Use the clamps to secure the roast at both ends. The rear
clamp must be a minimum of 7 cm from the end of the spit.
You may also use cooking string to bind and secure the roast.
When spit roasting poultry, bind the ends of the wings
underneath the back and secure the thighs to the body. This
prevents them from overbrowning. Pierce the skin on the
underside of the wings to allow the fat to escape.
The section
Tested for you in our cooking studio contains
many setting values for grilling with the rotary spit.
Select the appropriate oven temperature from the information
given in the table. If the temperature is too high, the meat or
poultry will burn on the outside, while inside it will remain largely
uncooked.
Inserting the rotary spit
1.
Place the frame for the rotary spit onto the universal pan
(Figure A).
2.
Place the rotary spit on the frame (Figure B).
3.
Insert the universal pan at level 1 as far as it will go. There is
an opening in the back oven wall, into which the rotary spit
must be inserted (Figure C).
4.
Unscrew the handle and close the oven door (Figure D).
5.
Select the “Rotary spit” type of heating and set the
temperature.
Automatic switch-off
If you do not change the settings on your appliance for several
hours, automatic switch-off is activated. The oven stops heating.
The point at which this occurs depends on the temperature or
grill setting that has been set.
Automatic switch-off is activated
A signal sounds. F8 appears in the display. The oven stops
heating.
Turn the function selector to the off position. The oven switches
off.
Overriding automatic switch-off
So that automatic switch-off is not activated when it is not
wanted, you can set a time period. The oven will heat until this
period has expired.
Self-cleaning
During self-cleaning, the oven heats up to approx. 500 . This
burns off residues from roasting, grilling or baking and you only
need to wipe the ashes from the cooking compartment.
You can choose from three cleaning levels.
The heavier and older the dirt, the higher the cleaning level
should be. It is sufficient to clean the cooking compartment
every two to three months. If required, you can clean the oven
more frequently than this. A cleaning cycle requires only
approx. 2.5 - 4.7 kilowatt hours.
Important notes
For safety reasons, the oven door locks automatically. You
cannot open the oven door again until the cooking
compartment has cooled slightly and the padlock symbol for
the locking mechanism disappears. Do not attempt to push in
the latch by hand.
Never attempt to open the oven door during automatic
self ­ cleaning. The cleaning cycle may be cancelled.
The oven light in the cooking compartment does not come on
during self-cleaning.

Risk of fire!
The outside of the oven becomes very hot. Make sure that
nothing is placed against the front of the oven. Never hang
flammable objects, e.g. tea towels, on the door handle. Keep
children at a safe distance.
