Caution!
There is a risk of damage to kitchen units if you grill with the
appliance door open: The adjacent units may be damaged by
the extreme heat. Keep the appliance door closed when using
the grill.
Notes
■
Always use the wire rack and the universal pan when grilling
■
Place the wire rack in the universal pan and slide them both
in at the height specified in the grilling table
■
Always place the food to be grilled in the centre of the wire
rack
■
If you are grilling more than one piece of meat, make sure
that they are the same sort of meat and that they are of
similar thickness and weight.
Circo-roasting
The Circo-roasting operating mode is particularly suitable for
poultry or meat (e.g. roast pork with crackling) that is to be
crispy.
Turn large items of food after approximately half to two-thirds of
the grilling time. For items of food with rind, place them on the
wire rack rind-side down for the first half of the grilling time.
Pierce duck and goose skin under the wings and legs to allow
the fat to escape.
Depending on the food you are cooking, the cooking
compartment may become very dirty when you cook food on
the wire rack using Circo-roasting. You should therefore clean
the cooking compartment after every use so that the dirt does
not become burnt on.
At the end of the cooking time, switch the grill off and leave the
food to stand for approximately 10 minutes in the cooking
compartment with the door closed. The recommended standing
time is not included in the grilling times specified.
Radiant grilling
For large amounts of flat grill items, use the full-surface grill (fig.
A).
For small amounts of flat grill items, use the centre-area grill.
Place the food to be grilled in the centre of the wire rack (fig.
B). You will save energy by using the centre-area grill.
Brush the items to be grilled with a little oil according to taste.
Turn the items after half to two-thirds of the grilling time.
You can influence the grilling result by changing the position of
the wire rack.
Note:
Always use the
¾
universal pan in the standard
position (not the other way up).
Grilling table
The details given in the table are guidelines and apply to the
enamelled universal pan with stepped wire rack. The values
may vary depending on the type and amount of items to be
grilled.
You should set the lower of the specified temperatures the first
time. Lower temperatures will generally allow more even
browning.
The values refer to food placed in the oven when it is cold and
for meat taken directly from the refrigerator.
Crust too thick and/or roast too dry
Reduce the temperature or shorten the roasting time.
Check the shelf height.
Crust too thin
Increase the temperature or switch on the grill briefly at the end of the roasting time.
The meat is not cooked right through
Remove any accessories that are not required from the cooking compartment.
Increase the roasting time.
Check the core temperature of the joint using a meat thermometer.
Steam in the cooking compartment is
condensing on the appliance door
The steam dries during the course of the cooking. If there is an excessive volume of
steam, you can carefully open the door briefly to dissipate the steam more quickly.
The meat is burned slightly during braising Add the meat, vegetables and liquid to the roasting dish in equal proportions.
The roasting dish and lid must fit together well and close properly.
Reduce the temperature.
