Grilling
Risk of injury caused by hot sur-
faces.
If you grill with the door open, hot air
will escape from the oven instead of
being cooled by the cooling fan. The
control elements will get hot.
Grill with the oven door closed.
Tips for grilling
- Pre-heating is necessary when
grilling. For pre-heating, select a func-
tion which does not use microwave
power.
Pre-heat the top heat/grill element for
approx. 5 minutes with the door
closed.
- Trim the meat. Do not season the meat
with salt before grilling as this draws
the juices out.
- Add a little oil to lean meat if neces-
sary. Do not use other types of fat as
they can easily burn and cause
smoke.
- Clean fish in the normal way. To en-
hance the flavour, season with a little
salt. Fish can also be drizzled with
lemon juice.
- Grill on the rack.
- To grill, brush the rack with oil and
then place the food on the rack.

Notes on the cooking charts
You can find the cooking charts at the
end of this book.
Take note of the temperature range, the
shelf levels and the durations. These
take the size of the meat and cooking
practices into account.
Check the food after the shortest dur-
ation quoted.
Selecting the temperature

and
grill
MW + Fan grill
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.
Selecting the grill level
Select between levels 1–3 for the
and
Grill
MW + Grill
If you are grilling thicker foods further
away from the grill element, select
Level 1.
If you desire a lighter, golden finish, on
gratins for example, select Level 2.
If you are quickly grilling thinner foods
closer to the grill element, select
Level 3.
Selecting the cooking duration
Grill thinner cuts of meat/slices of fish
for approx. 6–8 minutes per side.
It is best to grill food of a similar thick-
ness at the same time so that the
cooking duration does not vary too
much.
Grill thicker pieces for about
7–9 minutes per side.
When grilling rolled meat, allow ap-
prox. 10 minutes per cm diameter.
