Using a Crusting Plate
C100T/C100F/C101T/C101F only
Normally when cooking food, such as pizzas or pies, on a grill or in a
microwave oven, the dough or pastry becomes soggy. This can be
avoided by using a crusting plate; as a high temperature is reached
quickly, the crust turns crisp and brown.
The crusting plate can also be used for bacon, eggs, sausages, etc.
☛ Before using the crusting plate, preheat it by selecting the
combination mode for 3 to 5 minutes:
• Combination of convection (250°C) and microwaves (600 W
power level) or
• Combination of grill and microwaves (600 W power level)
• See page 19 and page 20 respectively.
How to clean the crusting plate
☛ As the crusting plate has a Teflon layer, if you use it incorrectly, it
can be damaged.
• Never cut the food on the plate. Remove the food from the
plate prior to cutting.
• Turn the food over preferably with a plastic or wooden
spatula.
1. Preheat the crusting plate, as described above.
• Use oven gloves at all times as the crusting plate will
become very hot.
2. Brush the plate with oil if you are cooking food, such as
bacon and eggs, in order to brown the food nicely.
3. Place the food on the crusting plate.
• Do not place any recipients on the crusting plate that
are not heat-resistant (plastic bowls for example).
4. Place the crusting plate on the turntable in the microwave
oven.
• Never place the crusting plate in the oven without the
turntable.
5. Select the appropriate power level by pressing the combi
( or ) button. Then set the cooking time by
turning the dial knob until the appropriate cooking time is
displayed.
6. Press the Start ( 1min+) button.
Result:
Cooking starts.
◆ When cooking has finished, the oven will
beep and flash “0” four times. The oven will
then beep one time per minute.
The best way to clean the crusting plate is to wash it with
hot water and detergent and then rinse if off with clean
water. Do not use a scrubbing brush or a hard sponge
otherwise the top layer will be damaged.
