Notes on the grilling chart
Temperature
As a general rule, select the lower
temperature given in the chart.
If higher temperatures are used, the
meat will brown on the outside, but will
not be properly cooked through.
Thesetting is recommended for
toasting and the fast browning of lean
items.
Pre-heating
Always pre-heat the top heat/grill
element for approx. 5 minutes with the
door closed.
Shelf levels
Select the shelf level according to the
thickness of the food.
– Thin cuts: Shelf levels 4/5

Preparing food for grilling
Rinse meat under cold running water
and then pat dry. Do not season meat
with salt before grilling as this draws
the juices out.
Add a little oil to lean meat if necessary.
Do not use other types of fat as they
can burn and cause smoke.
Clean fish in the normal way. To
enhance the flavour, add a little salt or
squeeze a little lemon juice over the
fish.
Grilling
Place the rack or the roasting and
grilling insert (if available) in the
universal tray.
Place the food on top....

Use the Defrostfunction to gently
defrost frozen food.
When this function is selected, only the
fan switches on and circulates the air at
room temperature.
Danger of salmonella poisoning!
It is particularly important to observe
food hygiene rules when defrosting
poultry. Do not use the liquid from
the defrosted poultry. Pour it away,
and wash the tray, the sink and your
hands.
Useful tips
– Where possible, remove the
packaging and put the food to be
defrosted on the universal tray or into
a suitable...

Containers for bottling
Danger of injury!
Do not use the appliance to heat up
or bottle food in sealed jars and tins.
Pressure will build up inside them
and they can explode causing
damage to the appliance, as well as
the risk of injury and scalding.
Only use special jars for bottling:
–bottling jars,
–jars with twist-off lids.
Bottling fruit and vegetables
We recommend using Fan Plus.
The instructions are for 6 jars with a
capacity of 1 litre each.
Place the universal tray on shelf

Drying is a traditional method of
preserving fruit, certain vegetables and
herbs.

are ripe and not bruised before they are
dried.
To prepare food for drying:
–Peel and core apples, and cut into
slices 0.5 cm thick.
–Core plumbs if necessary.
–Peel, core and cut pears into
wedges.
– Peel and slice bananas.
– Clean mushrooms, then either halve
or slice them.
– Remove parsley and dill from the
stem.
Distribute the food evenly over the
universal tray.

Useful tips
Cakes, pizza, baguettes
–Large frozen items such as cakes,
pizzas or baguettes cover an
extensive area of the baking tray or
universal tray.
The temperature difference if large
frozen items are cooked in these
trays can cause the tray to distort in
such a way that it cannot be
removed from the oven when it is hot.
Further use will make the distortion
worse. Place this type of food on
baking paper on the rack to prevent
the risk of this happening.
– Use the lowest temperature
recommended on...
