Caution!
There is a risk of damage to kitchen units if you grill with the
appliance door open: The adjacent units may be damaged by
the extreme heat. Keep the appliance door closed when using
the grill.
Notes
■ Always use the wire rack and the universal pan when grilling
■ Place the wire rack in the universal pan and slide them both
in at the height specified in the grilling table
■ Always place the food to be grilled in the centre of the wire
rack
■ If you are grilling more than one piece of meat, make sure
that they are the same sort of meat and that they are of
similar thickness and weight.
Circo-roasting
The 4 Circo-roasting operating mode is particularly suitable for
poultry or meat (e.g. roast pork with crackling) that is to be
crispy.
Turn large items of food after approximately half to two-thirds of
the grilling time.
Pierce duck and goose skin under the wings and legs to allow
the fat to escape.
Depending on the food you are cooking, the cooking
compartment may become very dirty when you cook food on
the wire rack using Circo-roasting. You should therefore clean
the cooking compartment after every use so that the dirt does
not burn on.
The information in the table are guidelines and apply to the
enamelled universal pan with wire rack. The values may vary
depending on the type and amount of food to be grilled.
You should set the lower of the specified temperatures the first
time. Lower temperatures will generally allow more even
browning.
At the end of the cooking time, switch the grill off and leave the
food to stand for approximately 10 minutes in the cooking
compartment with the door closed. The recommended standing
time is not included in the grilling times specified.
The values are for food placed in a cold oven and for meat
taken directly from the refrigerator.

Crust too thick and/or roast too dry Reduce the temperature or shorten the roasting time.
Check the shelf height.
Crust too thin Increase the temperature or switch on the grill briefly at the end of the roasting time.
The meat is not cooked right through Remove any accessories that are not required from the cooking compartment.
Increase the roasting time.
Check the core temperature of the joint using a meat thermometer.
Steam in the cooking compartment is con-
densing on the appliance door
The steam dries during the course of the cooking. If there is an excessive volume of
steam, you can carefully open the door briefly to dissipate the steam more quickly.
