Environmentally-friendly disposal

Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.

This appliance complies with European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). The directive gives a framework for the collection and recycling of old appliances, which is valid across the EU.

Automatic programmes

The automatic programmes help you to achieve elaborate pot roasts, juicy roasts and delicious stews very easily. You do not have to worry about turning and basting and the cooking compartment remains clean.

The cooking result depends on the quality of the meat and the size and type of ovenware. Use an oven cloth or oven gloves when you take the finished dish out of the cooking compartment. The ovenware will be very hot. Take care when opening the ovenware, as hot steam will escape.

Ovenware

Automatic programmes are only suitable for roasting meat in ovenware with lid, with the exception of browning a ham joint. Only use ovenware with a tightly fitting lid. Also observe the information from the ovenware manufacturer.

Suitable cookware

We recommend heat-resistant cookware (up to 300 °C) made from glass or glass ceramic. Roasting dishes made from stainless steel are not ideal. Their shiny surface reflects a high proportion of the thermal radiation. The food will not brown as much and the meat will be less well cooked. If you use a stainless-steel roasting dish, remove the lid once the programme has finished. Grill the meat at grill setting 3 for 8 to 10 minutes more. The dish browns more quickly if you use a roasting dish made of enamelled steel, cast iron or diecast aluminium. Add a little more liquid.

Unsuitable cookware

Cookware made of bright, shiny aluminium, unglazed clay or plastic, and cookware with plastic handles, is not suitable.

Size of the ovenware

The meat should cover about two thirds of the ovenware base. This will ensure that you get good meat juices.

The distance between the meat and the lid must be at least 3 cm. The meat may expand during the roasting process.

Preparing the dish

You can use fresh or frozen meat. We recommend fresh chilled meat.

Select a suitable roasting dish.

Weigh the fresh or frozen meat, poultry or fish. You will find detailed information in the corresponding tables. You need the weight in order to make the setting.

Season the meat. Season frozen meat in the same way as fresh meat.

Many dishes require the addition of liquid. Pour enough liquid into the ovenware so that the base is covered to a depth of approx. ½ cm. If the table specifies “a little” liquid, 2-

3 tablespoons are usually sufficient. If the table says “Yes”, feel free to add more. Observe the instructions given before and in the tables.

Cover the ovenware with a lid. Place it on the wire rack at level 2.

For some dishes, it is not possible to set a later end time. These dishes are marked with an asterisk *.

Always place the ovenware into the cooking compartment without preheating it.

Programmes

Poultry

Place poultry in the roasting dish, breast side up. The programme is not suitable for stuffed poultry.

When cooking several drumsticks, set the weight of the heaviest drumstick. The drumsticks must be approximately the same weight.

Example: For 3 chicken drumsticks of 300 g, 320 g and 400 g, set 400 g.

Just as with drumsticks, if you want to prepare two chickens of similar size in one roasting dish, make settings according to the weight of the heavier chicken.

When cooking turkey breast, add plenty of water to make sure that the meat does not dry out.
