Fat Collecting Tray

The fat collecting tray should always be inserted so that any dripping fat, crumbs or other food residues can be collected on it. It slides into the bottom of the cooking space.

Baking Racks

The baking racks are intended for drying. However, they can also be used for crisping, warming up etc.
The baking racks are slid onto the rails in the cooking space. The heating
element is located at the top of the cooking space, i.e. the higher up a baking rack is placed, the more intense the heat is from above.
In the top section, the food is cooked faster and crispier. The middle position should be chosen to achieve even heating from all sides. The bottom rails are suitable for gentle cooking.

Rotisserie Spit

The rotisserie spit consists of the shaft and two spit forks. The rotisserie spit is suitable for grilling large pieces of meat, e.g. chicken, grilled or roast  pork

Assemble the rotisserie spit and insert it into the device:
PLEASE NOTE!

• The shaft contains two small round notches marking the outermost
  position of the locking screws. These must not be attached any further
  than the outer ends of the shaft to ensure that smooth operation is
  possible.

• Do not place any pieces that are too large onto the rotisserie spit so
  that it can rotate without any hindrance.

1. Slide one of the spit forks onto the shaft and lock it with the locking screws.
   The shaft contains a small round notch for the tip of the locking screw. In the case of smaller pieces of food, the spit forks can be secured more centrally on the shaft.

2. Slide the items you want to grill onto the spit fork.

3. Slide the other spit fork onto the shaft and food and lock it with the locking screw.

4. Plug one end of the shaft into the round holder on the left-hand side of the cooking space. Then hang the other end of the shaft into the support on the right-hand side of the cooking space.

5. Check that it fits securely. The rotisserie spit must not be able to rotate about its own axis when the device is switched off. If this is not the case, plug the lefthand end of the shaft deeper into the holder

After use, remove the hot rotisserie spit from the cooking space using the removal tool (see the “Removal Tool” section). Always use oven gloves to remove the rotisserie spit forks and take off the grilled item

Removal Tool

The hot rotisserie spit is taken out of the cooking space using the removal tool.

1. Place the ends of the removal tool under the shaft.
2. First lift up the right-hand side of the shaft and move it forwards a little until the left end of the shaft is released from the holder.
3. Carefully lift the rotisserie spit out of the cooking space and place down on a heat-resistant surface

Before Initial Use

1. The device should be used for the first time without any food in it as it may produce some smoke or odours due to coating residues. Allow the device to heat up on the highest temperature setting for approx. 15 minutes without any food in it (see the “Basic Use of the Device” chapter).
2. Thoroughly rinse all accessories. Follow the instructions in the “Cleaning” chapter to do this.

Basic Use of the Device

The door of the device must be closed for settings to be made and buttons to be
pressed.
After switching off the device, the fan continues to run for a few seconds to cool down the device. The fan symbol flashes.
The device has overheating protection. It switches off if it is overloaded. In this case, pull the mains plug out of the plug socket and allow the device to cool down completely.

1. Place the main unit on the kitchen unit or another dry, clean, flat and non-heated work surface. Ensure that there is sufficient clear space at all sides.
2. Completely unwind the connecting cable and plug the mains plug into a plug socket.
3. Open the door.

    Choose a program:
    Touch the required program symbol. When it flashes, the program is activated and the device will turn on a few seconds later. As long as the symbol is flashing, a program change is possible. With the On / Off button, the cooking process can be started immediately. The symbols represent the following pre- setting’s: Symbol| Program| Temperature| Cooking time
    ---|---|---|---
    | Chips| 200 °C| 15 min
    | Steaks / cutlets| 175 °C| 25 min

    | Rotary grilling| 190 °C| 30 min
    | Drying| 30 °C| 2 hours
    | Heat up| 115 °C| 12 min

The temperatures and cooking times which are set for the programs are merely averages and should be adjusted if necessary. As the ingredients differ due to their origin, size, shape and quality, the actual cooking temperatures and times may vary. Make sure before serving that meat and poultry are thoroughly cooked.
If needed, change the cooking time or temperature of a selected program with the buttons + / -.

11. If the rotisserie spit is used, touch the    button to start the rotating function. (Touching the button again will stop the rotating function.)
    Until you are properly familiar with the device, the condition of the food should be checked in between times to ensure that it does not burn. To do this, switch on the light using the    button or open the door. When the door is opened, operation is interrupted automatically and the light switches on.
    Operation is resumed once the door is closed.
