How it works
34
¡
Add up to ½ litre of water to the universal pan, de-
pending on the size and type of food that you want
to roast.
You can make a sauce from the juices that are col-
lected. This also means that less smoke is pro-
duced and the cooking compartment does not be-
come as dirty.
Roasting in cookware
If you cover the cookware when you cook your food,
this will keep the cooking compartment cleaner.
General information about roasting in cookware
¡
Use heat-resistant, ovenproof cookware.
¡
Place the cookware on the wire rack.
¡
Glass cookware is best.
¡
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your roast-
ing dishes.
Roasting in uncovered cookware
¡
Use a deep roasting dish.
¡
If you do not have any suitable cookware, you can
use the universal pan.
Roasting in covered cookware
¡
Use a suitable lid that seals well.
¡
When roasting meat, there should be at least 3 cm
between the food and the lid. The meat may ex-
pand.
WARNING ‒ Risk of scalding!
Very hot steam may escape when the lid is opened
after cooking. Steam may not be visible, depending on
the temperature.
▶
Lift the lid in such a way that the hot steam can es-
cape away from you.
▶
Keep children away from the appliance.
Grilling
Grill food if you want it to be crispy.
¡
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.
26.4 Microwave cooking
If you use the microwave mode, you can reduce the
cooking time considerably.
General information
¡
When using the microwave mode, the cooking time
is determined based on the total weight.
If you want to cook a quantity that differs from the
specified quantity, the general rule is
Double the
quantity requires just under double the cooking
time
.
¡
The food transfers heat to the cookware. The cook-
ware can become very hot.
¡
In the main part of the instruction manual, you will
find information on how to configure the microwave
and microwave combination oven settings.

Cooking, braising or steaming using the
microwave mode
¡
Use microwave-safe cookware with a lid. Alternat-
ively, you can use a plate or special microwaveable
film to cover the dish.
¡
For cereal products, e.g. rice, use deep cookware
with a lid. Cereal products foam a lot during cook-
ing. Add liquid in accordance with the instructions
and information provided in the recommended set-
tings tables.
¡
Do not wash or dry food. Add 1-3 tablespoons of
water or lemon juice to the food.
¡
Spread the food out so that as much of it as pos-
sible is in contact with the bottom of the cookware.
Food that is in contact with the bottom will cook
more quickly than food that is piled up.
¡
Use salt and seasoning sparingly. When cooking
food using the microwave mode, most of the food's
natural flavour will be retained.
¡
Turn or stir the food 2-3 times during cooking.
¡
After cooking, leave the food to rest for 2-3 minutes.
26.5 Cooking frozen products
¡
Do not use heavily frosted frozen products.
¡
Remove any ice.
¡
Some frozen products may be unevenly pre-baked.
Uneven browning may remain even after baking.
26.6 Cooking ready meals
¡
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.
