. Do not place a dish, tin,
baking tray or grill pan on the floor of
the oven.
If using a grill pan made by a different
manufacturer make sure that there is a
gap of at least 6 cm between the bot-
tom of the pan and the floor of the
oven.
If these instructions are not observed
the bottom heat will be blocked. This
can cause permanent damage to the
floor of the oven.
Protective aluminium foil panels
are available in retail outlets which
are supposed to protect the oven cav-
ity from soiling and reduce the need for
cleaning. If used cooking and baking
times will increase considerably.
They can also cause damage to the
appliance (e.g. by blocking the heat).
General notes
Never leave the appliance unat-
tended when cooking with oil or
fats as these are a fire hazard if over-
heated.
Do not use the oven to heat up the
room. Due to the high tempera-
tures radiated, objects left near the
oven could catch fire.
Always ensure that food is suffi-
ciently cooked or reheated. Many
factors will affect the overall cooking
time, including the size and amount of
food, its temperature, changes to the
recipe and the shape and size of cook-
ing container.
Some foods may contain micro organ-
isms which are only destroyed by
thorough cooking at temperatures over
70º C for a minimum of 10 minutes.
When cooking or reheating foods e.g.
poultry it is particulary important that
food is fully cooked through. If in doubt
select a longer cooking or reheating
time.
It is important that the heat is allowed
to spread evenly throughout the food
being cooked. This can be achieved
by stirring and/or turning the food dur-
ing cooking.
