GENERAL
T
HIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED FOR DOMESTIC USE
ONLY!
THE APPLIANCE SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED without
food in the oven when using microwaves. Operation in
this manner is likely to damage the appliance.
I
F YOU PRACTICE OPERATING the oven, put a bowl
of water inside. The water will absorb the
microwave energy and the oven will not be
damaged.
D
O NOT USE THE CAVITY for any storage purposes.
REMOVE WIRE TWIST-TIES from paper or plastic
bags before placing bag in the oven.
DEEP-FRYING
D
O NOT USE YOUR APPLIANCE FOR DEEP-FRYING,
BECAUSE THE OIL TEMPERATURE CANNOT BE
CONTROLLED.
USE HOT PADS OR OVEN MITTS to prevent
burns, when touching containers, oven
parts, and pan after cooking.
LIQUIDS
E
.G. BEVERAGES OR WATER . Overheating the liquid
beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of
bubbling. This could result in a sudden boiling over
of the hot liquid. To prevent this possibility the
following steps should be taken:
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.
2. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the
oven and let the teaspoon remain in the
container. Be sure not to allow the teaspoon to
touch the oven sides, or ceiling whilst
microwaving, or sparking can occur.
3. After heating, allow standing for a short time,
stirring again before carefully removing the
container from the oven.
CAREFUL
D
O NOT USE THE MICROWAVE FUNCTION when
cooking or reheating food that contains alcohol.
A
FTER HEATING BABY FOOD or liquids in a baby bottle
or in a baby food jar, always stir thoroughly and check
the temperature before serving.
This will ensure that the heat is evenly distributed and
the risk of scalding or burns can be avoided.
Ensure the Lid and the Teat is removed before
heating!
TEMPERATURE COOKING
T
HE TEMPERATURE PROBE should normally be
inserted so that the tip of the probe is positioned
in the thickest part of the food, as this is the part
that takes the longest time to heat.
T
HE TIP OF THE PROBE must not touch any bones.
Also, avoid placing the probe in fatty areas of the
food as these areas heat up more quickly giving
misleading temperatures.
The probe should, if possible, be positioned so that
the tip does not touch the walls or the bottom of
the cooking vessel.
T
HE TEMPERATURE which is set must be higher
than the current temperature of the food.
IT IS NOT POSSIBLE to use the probe when making
sweets, jam and marmalade, or dishes which need
to be cooked or simmered for a long period.
This is because the; highest temperature which can
be set is 90°C.
N
EVER IMMERSE the probe in water when cleaning.
Simply wipe clean with a clean, damp cloth or
kitchen roll after use.
THE OVEN MUST NOT BE OPERATED with the
temperature probe in the cavity if it is not plugged
into the oven.
If you do operate the oven without complying with
the above you will damage the probe.
