GENERAL HINTS

• Operating the appliance with the lid open is possible. However, in almost all
cases, the results will be better, when avoiding this practice, and therefore, bak-
ing your food only shortly (some minutes) with the lid closed.
• Roast bread slices and toppings for sandwiches separately.
• Leave frozen food thaw completely, before baking via the appliance.
• After baking, your food should build a solid body, that can be removed in one
single piece from each well of the lower heating plate. In most cases, you should
use a wooden or heat-resistant plastic scraper for this. Most types of ingredients
can be combined (e.g. fruit, vegetables, minced meat, liver, etc.) with egg
and/or flour to get a suitable dough. Alternatively, coat this types of food in
some yeast dough.
• Please keep in mind, that some types of fresh food may give off a lot of juices
when heated (e.g. tomatoes). In these cases, you should prefer canned or pre-
cooked food and let it drain thoroughly.
• Remove surplus juices from the wells of the heating plate, before placing in the
next portion. For this, alternately roast some bread slices after each portion. This
may give a spicy side dish for your meal. Try to adjust the amounts of dough
according to the following guidelines.
Dough that will rise during baking (e.g. cake, bread): After baking, the dough
•
should have risen just to touch the upper heating plate. Accordingly, leave free
space in the individual wells.
Dough that will NOT rise when heated (e.g. meatballs, potato fritters): Before
•
baking, the dough should completely fill up the wells of the heating plates, when
the lid is closed. Therefore, fill an appropriate heap into the wells of the lower
heating plate.
• If there is not enough dough for filling all wells properly, in many cases, it is bet-
ter to keep the optimum amount of dough for each well and leave the remaining
wells empty. The required baking time strongly depends on the ingredients of
your food (e.g. type, freshness, thickness, aeration) and the desired consistency.
Check the results during baking. This is the best way of determining the optimum
baking time for your recipe ideas.
• Depending on the humidity of your food and the progress of the baking cycle,
various amounts of steam will escape from under the lid. This can be an indica-
tor for keeping the required baking time.
