• Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool down before
cleaning!
• Never immerse base unit, power cord and plug in water or
clean them under running water!
• Due to its non-stick coating the oven is very easy to clean. Wipe the casing, the oven chamber and the oven
door with a moist cloth and wipe dry.
• The crumb tray can be taken out and cleaned with hot dishwater.
• The accessories can be cleaned in warm water with some dishwashing detergent or in the dishwasher.
• Never immerse the appliance in water and make sure no steam or water may infiltrate the appli-
ance from the underside! Never use a steam jet appliance for cleaning!
• On no account, you must use steel wool, scrubbing pads, abrasives, solvents or oven cleaners!
Cleaning and maintenance
The rotisserie spit allows to prepare delicious grilled chicken and other kinds of spit-roast (e. g. pig knuckles). For
this proceed as follows:
• It is important to defrost frozen chicken completely before grilling. Then wash and pat them dry.
• Depending on the recipe and your personal taste, rub the food to be grilled with oil and spices.
Tip: Always mix paprika and curry with some oil or season the meat at the end of the grilling time, as these
spices burn easily and taste bitter then.
• Slide one of the single fixing brackets on the spit and tighten it with the screw. Now skewer the prepared meat
onto the spit centrally until it is pushed firmly into the first fixing bracket. Then slide the second single fixing
bracket on the spit and push it firmly into the roast. Also tighten this screw.
• Check that the food to be grilled is properly centred on the spit.
• To prevent protruding chicken parts from burning, the joints and wings must be bond together with a heat-
proof and food safe string (e. g. natural cotton string).
Tip: To avoid a too fast browning of prominent parts, delicate areas may be wrapped with unsalted rashers.
• Important! Insert the roasting/baking tray into the lowest level. In this way, any grease dripping down will be
collected and the oven’s bottom stays clean.
Tip: We recommend filling half of the roasting/baking tray with water; the rising steam makes your grill food
especially tender. However, should you prefer your chicken really crispy outside, do not fill any water into the
roasting/baking tray.
• By means of the rotisserie handle you can now lift the rotisserie assembly into the oven. Firstly, insert the spit
with one end in the hole on the right hand side of the interior oven and then place it in the support
provided on the left hand side.
• Before closing the oven door, make sure the spit with the chicken/s is positioned correctly.
Attention! Hazard of fire! Make sure that the meat to be grilled is rotating properly and that it does
not touch the heating elements – otherwise the meat might catch fire.
• Select the function: ‘Upper heat with rotisserie spit’ at maximum temperature.
• Per each kilogram chicken you may reckon with a grilling time of about 60 minutes.
Tip: A spit-roast chicken is ready when piercing the drumstick with a needle (no knife!) only clear meat juice
comes out, without any signs of blood.
• In case the skin of the chicken is getting blisters, reduce the temperature and paint the blisters with some oil.
• After the grilling time has been finished, it is easy to remove the rotisserie spit from the oven by lifting it out
using the special handle for the spit and to place it on a large chopping board then.
