11.
Reheating.
It is essential that reheated food is served “piping hot”.
Remove the food from the oven and check that it is “piping hot”,
i.e. steam is being emitted from all parts and any sauce is
bubbling. (If you wish you may choose to check the food has
reached 72˚C with a food thermometer – but remember do not
use this thermometer inside the microwave.)
For foods that cannot be stirred, e.g. lasagne, shepherds pie, the
centre should be cut with a knife to test it is well heated through.
Even if a manufacturerʼs packet instructions have been followed
always check the food is piping hot before serving and if in doubt
return your food to the oven for further heating.
12.
Standing Time.
Standing time refers to the period at the end of cooking or
reheating when food is left before being eaten, i.e. it is a rest time
which allows the heat in the food to continue to conduct to the
centre, thus eliminating cold spots.
13.
Keeping Your Oven Clean.
It is essential for the safe operation of the oven that it is wiped out
regularly. Use warm soapy water, squeeze the cloth out well and
use to remove any grease or food from the interior. Pay particular
attention to the door seal area and also the areas around the
microwave feed guide situated on the right hand side of the cavity
wall. The oven should be unplugged when cleaning. The catalytic
lining at the back does not need to be cleaned.
14.
Grilling.
The oven will only operate on the GRILL function with the door
closed.
15.
Fan Motor Operation.
After using the microwave oven, the fan motor may operate to
cool the electric components. This is normal and you can take out
food even though the fan motor operates. You can continue using
the oven during this time.
16.
Containers.
Before use check that utensils/containers are suitable for use in
microwave ovens.
17.
Babies Bottles and Food Jars.
When reheating babies bottles always remove top and teat. Liquid
at the top of the bottle will be much hotter than that at the bottom
and must be shaken thoroughly before checking the temperature
(see page 42 for details). The lid must also be removed from
babies food jars, the contents must also be stirred or shaken
before the temperature is checked. This should be carried out
before consumption in order to avoid burns.
18.
Arcing
Arcing may occur if a metal container has been used incorrectly,
if the incorrect weight of food is used, or if the accessories have
been damaged. Arcing is when blue flashes of light are seen in
the microwave oven. If this occurs, stop the machine immediately.
If the oven is left unattended and this continues it can damage the
machine.
You can continue to cook by GRILL OR CONVECTION ONLY.
19.

The maximum weight that can be placed on the turntable is 4kg
(8lb 14oz) (this includes total weight of food and dish.)
