The liquid resulting from defrosting, principally that
from poultry, should be discarded. In no event should
such liquids be allowed to come into contact with other
foods.
12.
Do not forget that by using the defrosting function
you need to allow for standing time until the food is
completely defrosted.
13.
In defrost process, please turn food over when
microwave oven alarms and displays "turn".
Cooking with the Grill
"Table 2.6" on page 13
1.
For a better baking, use the rack supplied. Insert the
rack in the way that it does not come into contact with
the metal surface of the oven cavity in case any danger
of electric arcing which may damage the oven
IMPORTANT POINTS:
2.
There will be some smoke and smell when the grill is
used for the first time. That is because of oil left from the
manufacture process.
3.
The glass of oven door becomes very hot when the
oven is working. Keep children away.
4.
When the grill is used for extended period of time, it is
normal to find that the elements will switch themselves
off temporarily due to the safety thermostat.
5.
Important: When food is to be grilled or cooked in
containers you should check that the container is
suitable for microwave use. See the section on types of
ovenware!
6.
When the grill is used it is possible that some splashes
of fat may go onto the elements and be burnt. This is a
normal situation and does not mean there is any kind of
operation fault.
7.
After you have finished cooking, clean the interior and
the accessories so that cooking remains do not become
encrusted.
Pizza function
It is not necessary to pre-heat the browning plate to cook
pizzas.
1.
Place the pizza directly on the browning plate.
2.
Place the browning plate on the centre of the glass
turntable in the microwave oven.
The cavity wall and the browning plate become very
hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating
elements, cavity wall or the browning plate. The usage
of oven gloves is strongly recommended to avoid burns.
What kind of ovenware can be used?
Microwave function
• For the microwave function, notice that glass, china, clay,
plastic, and paper can be used as container. Metal pans,
dishes or containers with metal parts or decorations
cannot be used in the microwave. Glassware and clay with
metallic decoration or content (e.g. lead crystal) cannot be
used for microwave oven.
• The ideal material for microwave oven is glass, refractory
china or clay, or heat resistant plastic. Very thin, fragile
glass or china should only be used for short period of time
(e.g. heating)
• Always wear oven gloves to take mature food.
• To test ovenware, put the item in the oven for 20 seconds
at maximum microwave power, after 20 seconds, take
the ovenware out immediately, it is suitable to use if it is
cold or just slightly warm. However, it is not suitable for
microwave oven if it heats up a lot or causes electric arcing.
Grilling
• In the case of the grill function, the ovenware should be
resistant to temperature of at least 300°C. Plastic dishes are
not suitable for the grill function.
Combination functions
• In the combination functions (mic conventional
heating elements), the ovenware used should be suitable
for microwave and grill.
Aluminum containers and foil
• Pre-cooked food in aluminum containers or in aluminum
foil can be put in the microwave if the following aspects
are respected.
• Please read the manufacturer's recommendations written
on the external packing.
• The aluminum containers cannot be more than 3 cm
high or come in contact with the cavity walls (minimum
distance 3 cm). Any aluminum lid or top should be
removed.
• The cooking time is longer because the microwaves only
permeate into food from the top. If you have any doubts, it
is best to use only dishes suitable for microwave use.
Aluminum foil cannot come into contact with the cavity
walls since this may cause electrical arcing.
Lids
We recommend you use glass or plastic lids or cling film:
1.
In case of excessive evaporation (mainly during very
long cooking times)
2.
Cooking time is shorter
3.
The aroma is preserved
The lid should have holes or openings so that no pressure
produces. Plastic bags should be opened. Baby feeding
bottles or jars with baby food and similar containers can only
be heated without tops/lids on otherwise they may burst.
