Miele Microwave: How to Use for Perfect Grilling
Page 28

Operation - Grilling

The grill can be used on 4 settings: by itself, and in combination with the Microwave function at one of three different power levels.

If the total grilling time required is less than 15 minutes, the grill should be pre-heated for approx. 5 minutes before placing food under it.

Thin, flat cuts of fish and meat should usually be turned half way through grilling for even results. Larger, chunkier pieces should be turned several times.

Grilling times depend on the type and thickness of the food and on the user's preference for a rare or well-cooked result.

When grilling directly on the rack, the glass tray should be placed underneath the rack to catch any fat or juices.

^Place the food in a suitable dish.

^Place the glass tray, the rack and glass tray, or the dish containing the food on the turntable.

Caution. The rack and glass tray become hot during use. Danger of burning.

The glass tray and grill rack will be easier to clean if washed in soapy water immediately after grilling.

Grilling without the Microwave function

Ideal for grilling thin cuts of meat, e.g. steak or sausages.

^Turn the power selector to n.

The grill symbol n will light up in the display. 0:00 will flash.

^Select a cooking duration using the time selector.

^Press the START button.

An audible tone will sound at the end of the process.

To change a cooking duration

The cooking duration can be changed during operation. To do this, interrupt the cooking programme by pressing the Stop/C button, and change the duration. Continue the cooking process by pressing the START button.

The cooking duration can also be extended during operation by pressing the START button once for each minute you wish to extend the cooking duration by.

The area on the ceiling around the grill becomes discoloured over time. This is an unavoidable consequence of use, and does not impair the function of the appliance in any way.
