It is slid right into the bottom of the cooking space (16). The fat collecting tray can also be used as a baking tray. It has food placed on it and is pushed onto the middle rails (14). Baking Racks The baking racks (9) are intended for drying. However, they can also be used for crisp- ing, warming up etc. The baking racks are slid onto the rails (14) in the cooking space (16) (see Illustration A). The heating element (18) 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. Skewers with Rack Pieces of meat, fi sh, vegetables etc. are placed on the skewers (7) as you wish and grilled in the device. The skewers can either be placed on the baking racks (9) or inserted into the associated rack. In the rack, they are turned during grilling. Assemble the rack for skewers and insert into the device: PLEASE NOTE! ■ The shaft contains two small round notches. They mark 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. ■ Be careful when handling the skewers in order to prevent any injuries!

1. Slide the rack wheel (6) with the L marking onto the left-hand end of the shaft with

just one notch (see Illustration B1). The locking screw of the rack wheel is directed outwards.

2. Fix the rack wheel gently with the locking screw. The shaft contains a small round

notch for the tip of the locking screw. Do not tighten it too much so that the rack wheel can be moved if necessary after attaching the skewers.

3. Mount the second rack wheel on the shaft in the same way (see Illustration B1).

4. Place the tip of a skewer with food on it through the round hole in the left-hand rack

wheel (see Illustration B2).

5. Press together the other end (the clip) of the skewer slightly, slide it into the opposite

notch in the right-hand rack wheel and allow it to engage (see Illustration B2).

6. Fit the rest of the skewers in the same way (see Illustration B2). IMPORTANT: If not

all 10 skewers are used, they must be distributed evenly (always two opposite) so that the rack can rotate.29 EN

7. Tighten the locking screws of the rack wheels.

8. Plug the left-hand end of the shaft as far as it will go into the round holder on the

left-hand side of the cooking space (16) (see Illustration B3). Then hang the other end of the shaft into the support on the right-hand side of the cooking space (see Illustration B4).

9. Check that it fi ts securely. The rack must not be able to rotate about its own axis when

the device is switched off . If this is not the case, plug the left-hand end of the shaft deeper into the holder. After use, remove the hot rack from the cooking space using the removal tool (5) (see the “Removal Tool” section). To remove the skewers from the rack, press together the clips. It is essential that you use oven gloves to do this! Rotating Spit The rotating spit consists of the shaft (4) and two rotating spit forks (3). The rotating spit is suitable for grilling large pieces of meat, e.g. chicken, grilled or roast pork. Assemble the rotating spit and insert it into the device: PLEASE NOTE! ■ The shaft contains two small round notches. They mark 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 rotating spit so that it can rotate without any hindrance.

1. Slide one of the rotating spit forks onto the shaft and lock it with the locking screw.

The shaft contains a small round notch for the tip of the locking screw. In the case of smaller pieces of food, the rotating spit forks can be secured more centrally on the shaft.

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

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

4. Plug the left-hand end of the shaft with just one notch (see Illustration C1) as far as

it will go into the round holder on the left-hand side of the cooking space (16). Then hang the other end of the shaft into the support on the right-hand side of the cooking space.

5. Check that it fi ts securely. The rotating 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 left-hand end of the shaft deeper into the holder. After use, remove the hot rotating spit from the cooking space using the removal tool (5) (see the “Removal Tool” section). Always use oven gloves to remove the rotating spit forks and take off the grilled items. Rotating Basket In the rotating basket (2), the food is rotated during cooking so that it becomes crispy on all sides. The rotating basket is particularly suitable for preparing chips or other potato products, small pieces of vegetables and meat as well as frozen products, e.g. chicken nuggets or squid rings.EN 30 Fill the rotating basket and insert it into the device:

1. Open the fl ap of the rotating basket (see Illustration D).

2. Fill the rotating basket no more than ¾ full with food. It should not be too full to ensure

that the food is cooked evenly.

3. Close the fl ap and ensure that it is shut correctly so that it does not open during use.

4. First insert the left-hand side with the L marking of the rotating basket into the cooking

space (16) (see Illustration C1). To do this, plug the left end (with just one notch) of the shaft as far as it will go into the round holder on the left-hand side of the cooking space. Then hang the other end (with two notches) of the shaft into the support on the right-hand side of the cooking space.

5. Check that it fi ts securely. The rotating basket must not be able to rotate about its own

axis when the device is switched off . If this is not the case, plug the left-hand end of the shaft deeper into the holder. After use, remove the hot rotating basket from the cooking space using the removal tool (see the “Removal Tool” section). Always use oven gloves to open and empty the rotating basket.

14. Remove the mains plug from the plug socket after use.

15. Allow the used accessories and device to cool down and then clean them (see the

“Cleaning” chapter). Tips

• Generally it is not necessary to preheat the device. When preparing food which is to be ready “on the dot”, it is advisable to extend the cooking time by 3 minutes.

• Cooking times are dependent on the size and quantity of the food and on the cooking temperature. However, in general the cooking times are shorter than in a convention- al oven. Start with shorter cooking times and then adapt the cooking times to your personal taste.

• Generally no oil is required for preparing food. You can add oil to your food to en- hance the taste by spraying your food with a little oil from the oil atomiser.

• When preparing mass-produced frozen products, you should follow the times and temperatures specifi ed by the manufacturer. Before the specifi ed cooking time elaps- es, check whether the food is already cooked through because the cooking time can be slightly shorter than in a conventional oven. Cleaning PLEASE NOTE! ■ Pull the mains plug out of the plug socket and allow the device and accessories to cool down before doing any cleaning. ■ Surfaces could be damaged! Do not use any corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents or scouring sponges to clean the device. Clean the main unit (1) and the used accessories immediately after each use to prevent germ formation. Do not allow food residues to dry on.

1. Do not immerse the main unit and door in water or other liquids! Do not place

them in the dishwasher! If necessary, clean them with a damp cloth and a little detergent.

2. Rinse all other used parts with detergent and warm water or in the dishwasher. In

the case of stubborn dirt, we recommend soaking the accessories in warm water and detergent beforehand.

3. Allow all parts to dry completely or dry them with a tea towel.EN 34

If the problem cannot be solved with the following steps, contact the cus- tomer service department. Do not attempt to repair an electrical device yourself! Problem Possible cause Fix The device does not work. The displays on the control panel do not switch on. The mains plug is not inserted correctly in the plug socket. Push the mains plug into the plug socket as far as it will go. The plug socket is defective. Try another plug socket. No mains voltage is present. Check the fuse of the electrical distributor (fuse box). The overheating protection has been triggered. Pull the mains plug out of the plug socket and allow the device to cool down completely. Then try again. If the device still cannot be switched on, contact the customer service depart- ment. The fuse in the elec- trical distributor (fuse box) is triggered. Too many devices connect- ed to the same circuit. Reduce the number of devices in the circuit.35 EN Problem Possible cause Fix The food has not been cooked evenly. Diff erent items of food with diff erent cooking times have been prepared at the same time. Place food with a longer cook- ing time in the device fi rst, then add ingredients with a shorter cooking time later. Items of food which require diff erent cooking tempera- tures have been prepared at the same time. Prepare items of food with diff erent cooking temperatures one after the other. The set cooking time was too short or the temperature too low. Increase the cooking time or temperature. The rotating basket or bak- ing rack is overfi lled. Reduce the amount of food. The items of food are piled on top of one another. Spread the food and mix it around from time to time. The food is slightly burnt. The selected temperature is too high or the cooking time too long. Reduce the temperature or cooking time. Chips made from fresh potatoes are not crispy. The potatoes contain too much water. Cut the potatoes into narrower pieces. Dab the potato pieces dry with some kitchen towel and then trickle a little cooking oil over them. During use, an unpleasant smell is detected. The device is dirty. Follow the instructions in the "Cleaning" chapter. The device is being used for the fi rst time. A smell often develops when new devices are fi rst used. The smell should disappear once the device has been used several times. Disposal Dispose of the packaging material in an environmentally friendly manner so that it can be recycled. The device is governed by the European Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electri- cal and electronic equipment (WEEE). Do not dispose of the device as normal domestic waste, but rather in an environmentally friendly manner via an offi cially approved waste disposal company.EN 36 Suggested Recipes PLEASE NOTE! ■ Before you start preparing any food, it is essential to read the “Accessories” and “Basic Use of the Device” chapters to familiarise yourself with the way that the device works. This knowledge will then enable you to prepare lots of diff erent dishes follow- ing any recipes you want. The temperatures and cooking times specifi ed in the following suggested recipes are guideline fi gures. As the ingredients diff er due to their origin, size, shape and quality, the settings actually required may vary. It is important to check how the food is cooking from time to time and adjust the temperature or cooking time. Make sure before serving that meat and poultry are thoroughly cooked. Shashlik, Russian style Resting time: approx. 1 day Ingredients: 1 kg Pork neck or lamb 1 Large onion ½ tsp. Sugar 1 tbsp. Vinegar 1 tbsp. Oil 2 tbsp. Strained tomato(es) 2 Bay leaves To taste Salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper Preparation:

1. Cut the meat into cubes roughly 2 x 2 cm in size.

2. With the exception of the onion, mix together the rest of the ingredients to make a

marinade and mix with the meat.

3. Allow it to rest in the fridge for at least six hours, ideally overnight. Stir it around a

4. Chop the onion into rings.

5. Slide the marinated meat and the onion rings onto the skewers.

6. Fit the skewers in the rack and insert it into the cooking space.

7. Start the “Steaks/cutlets” programme.

8. Press the button to activate the rotating function.

9. Check how cooked the food is in between times. Adjust the cooking temperature and

cooking time if necessary.37 EN Homemade Chips Ingredients: 4 large Potatoes (waxy) 1 – 2 tbsp. Cooking oil To taste Salt Preparation:

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks of equal size.

2. Thoroughly wash the potatoes and then dry them off .

3. Add 1 – 2 tbsp. of oil to the potatoes and mix in. It is not essential to add oil. However,

adding oil will make the chips crispier and give them a more intense fl avour.

4. Place the sliced potato chips into the rotating basket.

5. Insert the rotating basket into the cooking space.

6. Start the “Chips” programme.

7. Press the button to activate the rotating function.

8. The chips are cooked when they are golden brown. Reduce the temperature if

necessary if the chips start to get too dark. If they are not cooked after the end of the programme, extend the cooking time and adjust the temperature if necessary.

• Mix your favourite herbs and spices into the oil before adding it. This will allow you for example to prepare tasty curry or paprika-fl avoured chips. There are no limits to your imagination.

• Depending on how thick you cut your potatoes, you can vary between potato wedges and thick or thin chips. The thicker the potatoes are cut, the longer the cooking time.

• Use waxy potatoes. Young potatoes contain more water and therefore take longer to cook and it is possible that they may not go as crispy.

• Wash the chopped-up potatoes with cold, clear water to remove any excess starch in the potatoes. IMPORTANT: Then thoroughly dry the potatoes. The less moisture is present, the crispier the chips will become.

• Preboiled potatoes will cook more evenly! Cut the potatoes into small sticks and preboil them for around fi ve minutes. This will prevent the chips from be- ing crispy on the outside but not fully cooked on the inside.

• If you want to prepare frozen chips, there is no need to add any oil as most fro- zen products are generally pre-fried! If you are going to prepare frozen chips or other frozen convenience products, follow the manufacturer's specifi cations on the packaging.EN 38 Cod Fillet with Garlic Herb Crust Ingredients: 100 g Cod fi llet 1 – 2 Egg white 1 Garlic clove 1 tbsp.
