Information on the settings
▯ The cooking result depends on the quality of the food
and the type of cookware. For an optimal cooking
result, use food that is in good condition and chilled
meat only.
▯ For some dishes, you will be required to enter the
weight. The appliance will then apply the time and
temperature settings for you.
It is not possible to set weights outside of the intended
weight range.
▯ For roasting programs, temperatures can be as high
as 450° F (230 °C). Therefore ensure that you are
using heat-resistant cookware.
▯ Touch the INFO button for information, e.g. on
cookware, rack position or the addition of liquid when
cooking meat.
▯ Some food requires turning or stirring, etc. during
cooking. This is shown in the display shortly after
operation starts. An audible signal will remind you at
the right time.
