Advice for Good Usage of the Oven
Working with microwaves
Before using any dish, make sure that it is
appropriate for use in microwaves (SEE ADVICE ON
THE USE OF UTENSILS AND RECIPIENTS).
Always make a slit in the food's shell before
cooking it.
Whenever heating liquids use a recipient with a
large opening to allow the vapour to escape.
Remember that:
1. Larger quantities of food require more cooking
time.
2. The lower the food temperature the more
cooking time is needed.
3. Less dense foods cook faster.
4. An even distribution of the food in the oven
guarantees better results. The cooking of
different types of foods simultaneously is
possible by placing the dense food in an
outside circle and the less dense in the centre
of the plate.
5. Better results are achieved by allowing the
food to stand before serving because it
continues to cook for some time after the oven
is switched off.
6. The cooking time may be shortened and the
liquids preserved (the food doesn't dry out) by
covering the food. The lids should be
transparent to allow the microwaves through
and they should have a small opening for the
vapour to escape.
Functioning of the grill
For best results of the grill, use the grill rack
supplied with the appliance.
Do not place the grill rack in contact with the
cavity’s metal surface as there may be an
electric arc and consequent damages.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. While the grill is being used for the first time,
the producing of fumes and odours is normal,
due to the oils used in the manufacturing
process.
2. After the first uses 0f the grill, it is normal for
the perforated area that protects the heating
elements of the grill to deform and to become
a golden colour due to the high temperatures
that the grill reaches during use.
3. The glass on the door reaches high
temperatures during grilling. Therefore the
oven should be installed at least 80 cm above
the floor, SO AS TO BE OUT OF REACH OF
CHILDREN.
4. While in operation, the inside walls of the oven
and the grill become very hot, therefore the
use of kitchen gloves is recommended.
5. During extended use of the grill it is normal for
the heating elements to switch off for short
periods due to the action of the safety
temperature limiter.
6.
Do not use plastic containers or others that
have poor temperature resistance, as these
could be destroyed due to the high
temperatures that the grill reaches.
