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
(only in models with 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 producting of fumes and odours id normal,
due to the oils used in the manufacturing
process.
2. After the first uses of the grill, it is normal for the
perforated area that proctets 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.
