How it works

30

Information for those allergic to nickel

 

In rare cases, small amounts of nickel may pass into
the food.

¡

When grilling several food items, choose pieces that
are of a similar weight and thickness. The grilled
food will brown evenly and will remain succulent
and juicy.

¡

Place the food to be grilled directly onto the wire
rack.

¡

To catch any liquids that drip down, place the uni-
versal pan into the cooking compartment at least
one level below the wire rack.

Notes

¡

The grill element switches on and off continuously.
This is normal. The grill setting that you use determ-
ines how frequently this occurs.

¡

Smoke may be produced when grilling.

27.4 Cooking instructions for ready meals

¡

The cooking result greatly depends on the quality of
the food. Pre-browning and irregularities may
already be present in the food before cooking.

¡

Do not use frozen products that are covered with a
thick layer of ice. Remove any ice on the food.

¡

Take ready meals out of the packaging.

¡

If you are warming or cooking the ready meal in
cookware, make sure that the cookware is heat-res-
istant.

¡

Distribute foods that are in the form of separate
pieces, such as bread rolls and potato products, so
that they are spread out flat and evenly on the ac-
cessory. Leave a little space between the individual
pieces.

¡

Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the pack-
aging.
