GRILL
The grill-heating element is located underneath the ceiling of the cavity. It
operates while the door is closed and the turntable is rotating. The turntable’s
rotation makes the food brown more evenly. Preheating the grill for 3-4 minutes
will make the food brown more quickly.
Cookware for grilling:
Should be flameproof and may include metal. Do not use any type of plastic
cookware, as it can melt.
Food suitable for grilling:
Chops, sausages, steaks, hamburgers, bacon and gammon rashers, thin fish
portions, sandwiches and all kinds of toast with toppings.
Important remark:
Whenever the grill only mode is used, make sure that the grill-heating element is
under the ceiling in the horizontal position and not on the back-wall in the vertical
position. Please remember that food must be placed on the high rack, unless
another instruction is recommended.
MIC GRILL
This cooking mode combines the radiant heat that is coming from the grill with
the speed of microwave cooking. It operates only while the door is closed and
the turntable is rotating. Due to the rotation of the turntable, the food browns
evenly. Three combination modes are available with this model: 600 W + Grill,
450 W + Grill and 300 W + Grill.
Cookware for cooking with mic grill
Please use cookware that microwaves can pass through. Cookware should be
flameproof. Do not use metal cookware with combination mode. Do not use any
type of plastic cookware, as it can melt.
Food suitable for mic grill cooking:
Food suitable for combination mode cooking include all kinds of cooked food
which need reheating and browning (e.g. baked pasta), as well as foods which
require a short cooking time to brown the top of the food. Also, this mode can
be used for thick food portions that benefit from a browned and crispy top (e.g.
chicken pieces, turning them over half way through cooking). Please refer to the
grill table for further details.
Important remark:
Whenever the combination mode (mic grill) is used, make sure that
the grill heating element is under the ceiling in the horizontal position and not
on the back-wall in the vertical position. The food should be placed on the high
rack, unless another instruction is recommended. Otherwise it has to be placed
directly on the turntable. Please refer to the instructions in the following chart.
The food must be turned over, if it is to be browned on both sides.
