TIPS FOR MICROWAVE COOKING
MAINTENANCE
• Jacket potatoes are excellent in the microwave combination mode. To cook a jacket potato that is crisp
on the outside and soft in the middle pre-heat the Circulaire (Fan) function to 200°C. Pierce the skin
with a fork. A medium potato will take 15-20 minutes with the Circulaire function set to 200°C and
the microwave to 500 watts. Remember, if you add more than one potato, you will need to increase
the cooking time. Turn the jacket potato half way through cooking.
To cook a medium jacket potato, using only the microwave, select 800w. Cook for 6 minutes, turn, and
then cook for a further 6 minutes. For larger or smaller potatoes you may need to increase or decrease
the time accordingly.
• Microwave & Grill Combined is ideal for speeding up the grilling of thicker cuts of meat and dishes
that require cooking through and browning on the top e.g. macaroni cheese, potato topped fi sh pie.
The grill temperature is already pre-set, whilst the microwave watts are restricted
to 200-600watts to ensure that the food cooks through and has the opportunity to crisp.
• To convert foods from oven to microwave and grill combined always preheat the grill.
• Place all foods on the lowest shelf position, using the glass tray and wire rack.
• Always turn foods half way through cooking, this will ensure that they are evenly browned.
CIRCULAIRE uses the fan and allows cooking on many levels. The temperatures range from 50 - 200°C.
Ideal for cooking several items at once, with no cross transference of fl avours.
GRILL is ideal for grilling meat and browning. Use the wire rack with a solid roasting tray below.
HOT AIR & GRILL uses a mixture of the fan and grill. This is ideal for cooking thicker cuts of meat and
accelerating the browning of traditionally fan cooked foods. It is preferable to use a wire rack and solid
glass tray below. This will allow for the air to circulate and for the juices to be caught below.
Cleaning the combination microwave is straightforward. Due to the ‘stay clean’ enameled cavity of the
oven, you can use the vapour clean facility. Simply pour a small amount of water and mild washing up
liquid in the specifi cally designed moulded base of the oven fl oor. Also spray some of the solution on the
walls of the oven.
Select the fan function (circulaire) at a temperature of 60 Degrees Celsius and a time of 20 minutes.
After vapour clean is complete, a simple wipe out of the oven interior with a soft cloth, produces brilliantly
clean results, with minimal effort of the consumer.
The grill element can be dropped down for cleaning and reaching the roof of the appliance. Twist the grill
support bracket round 180 degrees and carefully pull the grill element down to a 45 degree angle.
To reduce the need to clean the microwave combination oven, place joints of meat and vegetables within
a roasting bag. Make sure that the bag is tightly sealed.
