en How it works
¡ 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.
ATTENTION!
Acidic food may damage the grid
Do not place acidic food, such as fruit or food with
▶
an acidic marinade directly on the pan support.
Information for those allergic to nickel
In rare cases, small amounts of nickel may pass into
the food.
The "Grill" type of heating is good for cooking thinner
pieces of poultry, meat and fish such as steaks, drum-
sticks and burgers. It is also excellent for toasting
bread.
Circulated air grilling is very well suited to cooking
whole poultry and fish, as well as meat, e.g. roast pork
with crackling.
¡ 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 cook food using 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 may become very hot.
¡ The main part of the instruction manual contains in-
formation on how to configure the microwave and
microwave boost 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 instructions for ready meals
¡ The cooking result greatly depends on the quality of
the food. Pre-browning and irregularities may
already be present in the food before cooking.
¡ Do not use frozen products that are covered with a
thick layer of ice. Remove any ice on the food.
¡ 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.
