When using recipes in this book always follow metric or imperial

measurements.  Do not combine the two. In some recipes the

conversions are not a direct equivalent due to recipe result.

Some packet instructions only display information for B or D rated

ovens. We therefore provide additional guidelines for reheating on

pages 38-42 of this book.

ALWAYS check the progress of the food as it cooks or reheats by

simply opening the door and after checking the progress of the

foods press START to continue the cooking time.

Failure to follow the instructions given in this Cookbook and

Operating Instructions, may affect the recipe result and in some

instances may be dangerous.
