Please Note! ■ 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.

1. Allow the device to heat up on the

highest temperature setting (200°C) for approx. 10 minutes without any food in it. To do this, follow the instructions in the “Set-Up and Connection” and “Use” chapters.

2. Clean all accessories with detergent

and warm water or in the dishwasher. ACCESSORIES The heating elementis located at the top of the cooking chamber, i.e. the higher up a baking mesh tray is placed, the more intense the heat is from above. Drip Tray The drip tray(6) should always be inserted so that any dripping fat, crumbs or other food residues can be collected in it. It is slid into the very bottom of the cooking chamber(3). Baking Mesh Tray The food is spread out on the baking mesh tray(5). It can be used for cooking pizza or baking cakes or for dehydrating, for example. The baking mesh tray is slid onto the rails in the cooking chamber(3). Rotating Spit The rotating spit consists of the shaft(8) and two rotating spit forks(7). It is suitable for grilling large pieces of meat, e.g. chicken, grilled or roast pork. Skewering On Food

1. Slide one fork onto the shaft and

fix it in place with the locking screw (Picture D). The shaft contains two small notches (PictureC,a) which mark the outer- most position of the locking screws. The locking screws must not be attached any further than the outer ends of the shaft to ensure that smooth operation is possible.

2. Slide the food to be grilled onto the

rotating spit until it rests on the fork. Do not place any pieces that are too large onto the rotating spit so that itcan rotate without any hindrance.

3. Slide the other fork onto the shaft and

into the food to be grilled and fix with the locking screw. Rotating Basket In the rotating basket(2), the food is mixed around during cooking so that it becomes crispy on all sides. The rotating basket is particularly suitable for prepar- ing chips or other potato products, small pieces of vegetables and meat. Preparing the Rotating Basket

SET-UP AND CONNECTION

Please Note! ■ Check the device and the connecting cable for damage each time before putting it into operation. The device should only be used when it is un- damaged and in working order. ■ Never place the device on a soft surface. The ventilation openings on the bottom of the device must not becovered. ■ Ensure there is sufficient clear space on all sides. Do not place the device below kitchen wall units or similar cupboards. The rising steam could cause damage to them! ■ Only connect the device to a plug socket that is properly installed and matches the technical data of the device. The plug socket must also bereadily accessible after connection so that the connection to the mains can quickly be isolated. ■ Do not connect the device along with other consumers (with a high wattage) to a multiple socket in order to prevent overloading and a possible short circuit (fire). ■ Make sure that the connecting cable does not present a trip hazard. It should not hang down from the surface on which the device is placed in order to prevent the device from being pulled down. ■ Make sure that the connecting cable is not squashed, bent or laid over sharp edges and does not come into contact with hot surfaces.

1. Place the device on the kitchen unit

2. Fully unwind the connecting cable and

plug the mains plug into a plug socket. The symbols on the control panel(1) light up briefly and a beep is heard. The symbol (19) lights up constantly and the device is in standby mode. USE In general, you can use this device to prepare all dishes that can also be pre- pared in a conventional fan oven. Please Note! ■ Do not use the device for longer than 60 minutes without a break. Anexception is the (dehydrating) programme. ■ Do not leave the device switched on when it is empty (apart from “burning off” prior to first use). ■ Do not place food that is still wrapped in cling film or plastic bags in the device. ■ Make sure that the food does not come into contact with the heating elements. ■ Do not overfill the device so that the hot air can circulate optimally inside the cooking chamber. ■ Make sure that foodstuffs containing oil and fats are not overheated. They could ignite. ■ Always place the hot accessories down on a heat-resistant surface after use.

• 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.

• The cooking time is dependent on the size and quantity of the food and on the temperature. However, in general the cooking time is shorter than in a conventional oven. Start with a shorter cooking time and gradually increase itif required.

• When preparing mass-produced frozen products, you should follow the times and temperatures specified by the manufacturer. Before the specified cooking time elapses, check whether the food is already cooked through. Basic Use

DISPOSAL Dispose of the packaging material in an environmentally friendly manner so that it can be recycled. The adjacent symbol (crossed-out bin underlined) means that used devices should not be disposed of in the domestic waste, but should instead be taken to special collection and return systems. Owners of used devices from private households can take them free of charge to the collection points of the public waste disposal authorities or the disposal points which are set up by manufacturers and distributors under the Electrical Equipment Act so that they can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way and valuable raw materials can be recovered. If they are not disposed of properly, toxic ingredients may escape into the environment and cause harm to the health of humans, animals and plants. Businesses which market electrical and electronic devices are also obliged to take back used devices. Waste prevention makes an even more valuable contribution to protecting the environment. This means if possible, as well as continuing to use or repair a device yourself, passing it on to another user also represents an ecologically beneficial alternative to disposal.
