Cooking with the grill 

 

The mic grill function is ideal for 
cooking quickly and, at the same time, 
browning foods. Furthermore, you can 
also grill and cook cheese covered food. 
The microwave and the grill work 
simultaneously. The microwave cooks and 
the grill toasts. 
 
Before using a dish in the microwave oven 
make sure that it is suitable for microwave 
use. Only use dishes or containers that 
are suitable for microwave use. 
The dish to be used in the combined 
function must be suitable for microwave 
and grill use. See the section on types of 
ovenware! 

Keep in mind that the figures given are 
merely indicative and can vary as a 
function of the initial state, temperature, 
moisture and type of food. 
If the time is not enough to brown the food 
well, put it under the grill for another 5 or 
10 minutes. 
Please follow the standing times and don’t 
forget to turn the meat pieces. 
Unless indicated to the contrary, use the 
turntable plate for cooking. 
The values given in the tables are valid 
when the oven cavity is cold (it is not 
necessary to pre-heat the oven).
