Use

General notes

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 initial temperature, changes to recipe and the shape and size of cooking container. Some foods may contain micro organisms which are only de stroyed by thorough cooking, therefore when cooking or reheating foods, e.g. poultry, it is particularly important that food is fully cooked through (at over 70°C, for a minimum of 10 minutes). If in doubt select a longer cooking or re heating time.

It is important that the heat is al

lowed to spread evenly throughout the food being cooked. This can be achieved by stirring and/or turning the food, and by observing a sufficiently long standing time, which should be added to the time needed for cooking, reheating or defrosting.

Warning and Safety instructions

Always remember that cooking

times in a microwave oven are usu ally considerably shorter than with tradi tional methods of food preparation. Ex cessively long cooking times can lead to food drying out and eventually burn ing, or could even cause it to catch fire. There is also a danger of fire if breadcrumbs, flowers, herbs, grains etc., are dried in the microwave oven. Always ensure that this type of proce dure is supervised.

Exercise caution when cooking or

reheating food with a high sugar content, e.g. Christmas pudding. If heated for too long the sugar may caramelise or ignite.

Do not use full power if you warm

empty dishes or dry herbs. The lack or minimum amount of food could cause damage to the appliance.

Do not leave the oven unattended

when cooking with oils and fats as these can be a fire hazard if allowed to overheat.

If smoke occurs in the oven, to

avoid fuelling any flame do not open the oven door. Turn the function selector to "0", or switch off at the mains and remove the plug from the socket. Do not open the oven door until the smoke has dispersed.

Never heat undiluted alcohol in the

microwave oven as this can easily ignite.

Do not heat up unopened tins of

food in the oven as pressure will build up in the tin and it can explode. This could result in injury or damage.

Food left in the oven to take advan

tage of residual heat should always be covered to avoid it drying out, and to avoid a possible build-up of conden sation which could adversely affect the oven interior.

Try to avoid the interior walls being

splashed with food or liquids con taining salt. If it does happen wipe these away thoroughly, to avoid corro sion on the stainless steel surface.

Wear oven gloves when removing

the glass tray from the oven. If the glass tray has a heavy load, pull it only slightly towards you, and then hold firmly at the sides as you take it out.

The glass dish and the rack take a

maximum load of 8 kg. Do not exceed this or the accessories may be damaged.

Do not lean or sit on the open oven

door. This could damage the appliance. Take care in the region of the hinges. An oven door can support a maximum load of 8 kg.

When it is hot do not place the

glass tray on a cold surface, such as a tile or granite worktop . It could break. Place it on a pot rest or a wire rack.

Under no circumstances use a

steam cleaner to clean this appli ance. The steam could attack the elec trical components and cause a short circuit, or permanent damage to the surface and to components, for which the manufacturer of the oven cannot accept any responsibility.

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not use the oven to heat up the

room. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the oven could catch fire.

When using kitchen appliances

connected to sockets near the oven ensure that the cable cannot get trapped in a hot oven door, which could melt the cable insulation and be dan gerous.

In countries which may be subject

to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its sur roundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which might be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.

Microwave function

Before serving remember to allow

sufficient standing time and then always check the temperature of the actual food itself after taking it out of the oven. Do not be misled by the tempera ture of the container which does not necessarily give a correct indication of the temperature of the food or liquid in it. This is particularly important when

preparing food for babies, children, and the elderly or infirm.

Never cook or reheat food or liq

uids in sealed containers or bot tles. With baby bottles the screw top and teat must be removed. Otherwise pressure builds up which can cause the bottle or container to explode pos ing a severe risk of injury.

When heating liquids, the boiling rod provided should be placed into

the container.

When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc., in the oven without the boiling rod, the boiling point of the liquid may be reached without the production of typical bubbles. The liquid does not boil evenly throughout. This so-called 'boiling delay' can cause a sudden build up of bubbles, when the container is removed from the oven or shaken. This can lead to the liquid boiling over sud denly and explosively. There is a dan

ger of burning. The formation of bub bles can be so strong that the pressure forces the oven door open. The user could be injured and the appliance damaged. The boiling rod ensures that the liquid boils evenly and that bubbles form at an early stage during the operation.

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not use any containers or cut

lery made from or containing metal, aluminium foil, lead crystal glassware, temperature-sensitive plastics, wooden utensils or cutlery, metal clips or wire ties. Such items could be damaged, or cause a fire hazard. The rack supplied with the appliance is designed to be compatible with micro waves, and can therefore be used with or without the microwave function.

The rack gets hot when operating

either the micwowave function or the browning element, or both. There is a danger of burning.

Eggs can only be cooked in their

shells in the microwave oven in a specially designed egg-boiling device available from specialist shops. Similarly, hard-boiled eggs should not be reheated in the microwave oven as this may lead to the eggs bursting, even once they have been removed from the oven.

Eggs can be cooked without their

shells in the microwave oven only if the yolk membrane has been punc tured several times first. The pressure could otherwise cause the egg yolk to explode.

Do not reheat food in the oven in

heat-retaining bags intended for normal ovens. These heat-retaining bags usually contain a thin layer of alu minium foil which reflects microwaves. This reflected energy can, in turn, cause the outer paper covering to be come so hot that it ignites.

Food with a thick skin or peel, such

as tomatoes, sausages, jacket po tatoes, aubergines, should be pierced or cut in several places to allow steam to escape and prevent the food from bursting.

Ovenproof earthenware can retain

a considerable amount of moisture. Earthenware and porcelain containers with hollow handles and lid knobs must only be used in this oven if they have vent holes, which allow the moisture to escape. Without vent holes there can be a pressure build-up, causing the container to crack or shatter, with the danger of injury.

Traditional oven functions: Fan Heat, Grill

Caution - Danger of burning When the oven is being used as a traditional oven it can get very hot.

Great care should be taken to en-

sure that small children do not touch the oven when it is being used. External parts of the oven such as door glass, handle vents and the facia panel can become quite hot.

Wearing heat-resistant oven gloves

is recommended when placing food in the oven, turning it or removing it. When the Grill function has been chosen, either solo or in a combination programme the element becomes very hot and there is a danger of burning.

Warning and Safety instructions

Wait until the element has cooled down before lowering it for clean

ing.

Do not use force to pull it down as this can cause the element to

break.

Bottling

Bottling should only be undertaken by

an experienced cook who has received proper training in this method of pre serving fruit and vegetables in an oven or microwave oven, and understands the implications of the chemical reac tions involved.

The manufacturer cannot be held lia ble for damage caused by non-com pliance with these Warning and safety instructions.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation!

Rather than just throwing these materi als away, please ensure they are of fered for recycling.

Disposal of your old appliance

Old appliances may contain materials which can be reclaimed or recycled. Please contact your dealer, your local waste collection centre or scrap mer chant about potential recycling schemes.

Before discarding an old appliance

switch off and disconnect it from the power supply. This should be done by a competent person. Cut off and render any plug useless. Cut off the cable directly behind the ap pliance to prevent misuse.

Ensure that the appliance presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Operating modes

Microwave h

Microwave cooking offers the benefits of speed, convenience and nutritional advantages when food does not require browning or crisping.

Functional description

This oven is equipped with a magnetron a, which converts electrical energy into microwaves.

A stirrer fan b above the oven ceiling distributes the microwaves evenly throughout the oven interior, rebound ing them off the walls so that they reach and enter the food from all sides.

All food contains moisture molecules which, when subjected to microwave energy, start to oscillate 2.5 thousand million times a second. The friction caused by this vibration creates heat, which first starts developing around the outside of the food and then slowly penetrates towards the centre. The moisture, fat and sugar content of food will affect the speed at which it is cooked.

As heat is produced directly in the food,

food can generally be cooked with

–

out adding much liquid or cooking oil

– cooking, reheating and defrosting in

a microwave oven is quicker than using traditional oven methods

– nutrients, such as vitamins and min-

erals, are generally retained

– colour, texture and taste of food are

not impaired

–

the surface temperature stays cool enough to avoid browning.

In order for microwaves to reach the food, they must be able to penetrate the cooking utensil being used.

Microwaves can penetrate porcelain, glass, cardboard and plastics but not metal. Do not, therefore, use utensils made of metal, or which contain metal, for example in the form of gold or silver trim. The metal reflects the microwaves and this could lead to the creation of sparks. The microwaves cannot be ab sorbed.

Operating modes

Traditional oven functions

Fan Heat D Grill n These cook and brown the food.

Fan Heat D

The fan circulates heat constantly around the oven, giving a very even temperature throughout.

It sucks in the air, heats it over a ring el ement and blows it back through the carefully spaced openings in the back panel.

As the heat is quickly transferred to the food, it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven, except when roasting sirloin or fillet or for foods such as puff pastry and yeast mixtures which require instant heat.

With Fan Heat food can be baked or roasted on both levels at the same time.

Combination programmes

Microwave + Fan Heat h + D Microwave + Grill h + n The combination programmes enable

the grill or the fan setting to be used in conjunction with the microwave facility.

A microwave power level and cooking time are programmed together with ei ther the grill or the fan to run simulta neously.

This enables cooking times to be re duced, yet a crisp, brown result can still be achieved without compromising the flavour or texture of the recipe.

In general when using combination programmes, you should not set the microwave power level higher than 150 W for baking, and not higher than 450 W for cooking and grilling.

Grill n

Note that this function is best suited to browning food and for grilling very thin cuts of food.

As the element needs to radiate a high heat in order to cook the food, it will take several minutes after being switched on to glow red hot and so pro duce sufficient infra-red heat for grilling. Pre-heat the with the oven door closed for approx. 5 minutes before starting to cook.

Time of day

After the appliance has been con nected to the power supply or after a power cut 0•00 with AUTO on the left will flash in the display.

The time of day must be set before any other processes can be set.

Setting time of day (24 hour clock)

Midnight (24 hours) is shown as 0•00.

Press the g and h buttons at the

same time.

The dot after the first figure in the dis play starts flashing. Whilst it is flashing, (approx. 4 seconds) set the time of day. It is shown in hours•minutes.

Use the + or – button to enter the

time of day.

After four seconds if no further entry is made, the oven display shows this time. The dot between the figures now stays on constantly to indicate that the time of day has been set.

Before using for the first time

Wipe out the oven interior with hot

water and a little washing up liquid. Dry using a soft cloth.

Do not shut the oven door until the interior is completely dry, to avoid odours and the possibility of corro sion developing.

Wash the accessories.

With new appliances there is usually a smell during the first use. It is dispelled more quickly by using a high tempera ture as follows:

Run the oven on the Fan Heat D setting for at least an hour:

Select Fan Heat D with the function selector.

The cooling fan starts up and the oven interior light comes on.

Turn the temperature selector to

200 °C.

Only turn the temperature selector clockwise and then back again anticlockwise. Do not force it past the resistance. Otherwise it could be damaged.

The oven begins to heat up. The indicator light on the control panel stays alight while the oven is heating up.

Ensure the room is well ventilated during this process.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens

Microwaves

are reflected by metal,

–

– pass through glass, chinaware, plas-

tic and card,

–

and are absorbed by food.

Material and shape

The material and shape of containers used affect cooking results and times. Heat distribution is more even in round and oval shaped dishes than in rectan gular containers, providing better re sults.

Metal

Metal containers, aluminium foil and metal cutlery, or china with metallic decoration such as gold rims or co balt blue must not be used in micro wave mode.

The metal reflects the microwaves, hindering the cooking process.

Exceptions:

If recommended by the producer, precooked meals packed in aluminium foil containers can be defrosted and reheated in the microwave oven. Important: remove the lid first. However, as food is only heated from the top, it is better to remove the food from the alu minium foil container and transfer it to a dish suitable for a microwave oven. The heat distribution will be more even. If sparks and arcing occur when using a metal container, stop and transfer the food to a microwave safe container.

For even defrosting and to avoid over cooking unevenly shaped cuts of meat, poultry or fish, small pieces of alu minium foil may be used to mask wingtips or other thin parts for the last few minutes of the process.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens

Decorated earthenware is only suitable Make sure that the aluminium foil is at least 2 cm from the oven walls at all times. It must not touch the walls.

Metal meat skewers or clamps should only be used if they are very small in comparison to the size of the cut of meat.

The rack supplied with the appliance is suitable for use in a microwave oven. Do not place the rack on the oven floor.

The rack can get hot.

Glassware

Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass are ideal for use in the microwave oven.

Crystal glass contains lead which could cause the glass to crack. Glass dishes with a milled rim are subject to the same risk. Both are unsuitable.

Earthenware

Although some ovenproof earthenware can be used in a microwave oven it may contain a considerable amount of moisture, causing it to become hot dur ing use. It is normally advisable to avoid using it in a microwave oven.

if the decoration is beneath an all-over

glaze.

Earthenware can get very hot, and may crack.

Porcelain (chinaware)

Porcelain is suitable, however contain

ers with hollow handles and lid knobs

must only be used if they have vent

holes, which allow the moisture to es

cape. Without vent holes there can be a

pressure build-up, causing the con

tainer to crack or shatter, with the dan-

ger of injury.

Do not use porcelain with gold or silver

edging or items with hollow knobs or

handles as insufficient ventilation may

cause pressure.

Glazes and colours

Some glazes and colours contain

metal.

This makes them unsuitable for use in a

microwave oven.

Earthenware containers with hollow handles and lid knobs must only be used if they have vent holes, which al low the moisture to escape. Without vent holes there can be a pressure build-up, causing the container to crack or shatter, with the danger of injury.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens

Plastics

Plastic containers must only be used for Microwave mode alone and not in con ventional oven mode.

Plastics must be heat-resistant to a min imum of 180 °C. Otherwise the plastic may melt and fuse with the food.

Special plastic utensils, designed for use in microwave ovens are available from good retail outlets. Melamine ware is not suitable as it absorbs energy and heats up. When purchasing plasticware, make sure that it is suitable for use in a microwave oven.

Disposable containers, such as trays made from polystyrene, can only be used for very short timed warming and reheating of food.

Plastic boiling bags can be used for cooking and reheating. To reduce the risk of the bag bursting, they should be pierced first so that steam can escape and prevent a build-up of pressure.

Roasting bags and -tubes

Roasting tubes should be about 40 cm

longer and roasting bags about 20 cm

longer than the food being roasted, and carefully tied with string. Turn the ends

over and secure them. Holes should be

made according to the manufacturer's instructions.Do not use metal clips or wire ties, even if bound by paper. There is a danger that they will ignite when heated.

Wood

Wooden dishes are not suitable. Moisture contained in the wood evapo-

rates when exposed to microwave energy, causing the wood to dry and crack.

Disposable containers

Only those plastic disposable containers which are specified by the manufacturer as suitable for use in a microwave oven may be used.

Do not leave the oven unattended when re-heating or cooking food in disposable containers made of plas tic paper or other inflammable mate rial.

Disposable containers are not always recyclable or degradable.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens

Testing dishes for their suitability

If in doubt as to whether glass, earthen ware or porcelain plates or dishes are suitable for use in a microwave oven, a simple test can be performed:

Place the item you wish to test in the

centre of the oven, fill a suitable glass with water and also place this in the oven.

Shut the door.

A microwave oven process cannot be started until the door is closed.

The c symbol appears above the dot.

Press the Start/Stop button.

The oven interior light comes on. The

time entered counts down in the display in second steps. The c symbol stays on constantly.

If a crackling noise is heard accom panied by sparks during the test, switch off the appliance immediately. Turn the function selector to the "0" position. Any crockery which causes this reaction is unsuitable for use in the microwave oven.

At the end of this period a beep sounds three times and the c symbol flashes. Press any button to cancel them. The time of day reappears in the display and the oven interior light goes out.

The water in the glass should be warm, but the dish cool. If the dish is very hot and the water is cold, it would be unwise to use the dish.

Select Microwave h with the function selector. The cooling fan will run.

The display will show a suggested power level of 900 W.

Press the g button. 0•00 appears in the display for approx. 4 seconds.

While it is visible enter a time of 30 sec onds with the "+" control.

If any doubt exists about the suitabil ity of containers, please contact the supplier.

This test cannot be used to check whether items with hollow knobs or han dles are suitable for use in a microwave oven.

The following settings are recom mended as a general guide:

150 W

–

for defrosting quite delicate food e.g. milk, cake etc.

80 W

–

for defrosting very delicate food e.g. cream, butter, gateau and cheese.

Remove the food from its packaging

and place it in a microwave-safe con tainer.

^ Place the container in the middle of

the oven floor.

If defrosting a large quantity, e.g. 2 kg of fish, you can also use the glass tray as a container. Place the glass tray on the oven floor.

Turn, stir or separate the food about half-way through the defrosting time.

After defrosting

Allow the food to stand at room temper ature long enough to allow the tempera ture to spread evenly throughout the food.

Reheating

The microwave function h can be used to reheat food.

Select the following microwave power settings to reheat food

drinks 900 W,

–

food 900 W or 600 W

–

* food for babies 450 W.

–

* Baby food We do not recommend heating or re heating foods or drinks for babies or young children in the microwave oven. Any decision to do this is the responsibility of the user, and should only be done with the utmost care.

Always remove the lids from jars, especially jars of baby food. Remove the rubber teat and seal top before warming baby bottles.

Pasteurised or sterilised cooked food should be gently heated at 450 watts, and tasted so that it is not too hot for a baby's palate before serving. Other food or drink when re heated should be heated to a high temperature and allowed to cool to a suitable heat for consumption. For made-up milk follow the manufac turer's instructions.

After reheating stir the food or shake the container and check that the temperature does not pose any dan ger. Double check after it has been left to stand.

Always use a lid or cover for reheating food, except when a drier finish is needed, e.g. breaded poultry / meat.

When reheating liquids place the boil ing rod supplied into the cup or glass.

Never reheat hard boiled eggs in a mi crowave oven, even without the shell. The eggs can burst.

Do not reheat food in the oven in heatretaining bags intended for normal ov

ens. These usually contain a thin layer

of aluminium foil which reflects micro waves. This reflected energy can cause the outer paper covering to become so hot that it ignites.

The time required depends largely on the nature of the food, its initial temperature and the amount to be cooked. Food taken straight from the refrigerator takes longer to reheat than food stored at room temperature.

Always ensure that the food is adequately heated.

If in any doubt that a sufficiently high

temperature has been reached, con

tinue reheating for a little longer. Stir or turn food from time to time during

cooking. Stir the food from the outside towards the middle, as food heats more quickly from the outside.

Reheating

After re-heating

Be careful when removing a dish from the oven. It may be hot.

Although heat is not normally produced in the container itself by the micro waves, (apart from stoneware and simi lar dishes), heat transfer from the food to the container may be considerable, making the container itself hot.

Allow food to stand for a few minutes at room temperature once a programme has ended to allow heat to be distrib uted evenly.

After reheating food, especially food for babies and small children, stir the food or shake the container and check that the temperature does not pose any danger. Double check after it has been left to stand.

For more detailed information on re heating consult a good microwave or microwave combi-oven cookbook.

Cooking

Microwave, traditional and combination programmes are all suitable for cook ing.

Microwave h

This method is suitable for cooking noo dles, pasta, rice, semolina pudding etc.

First select 900 W and then turn down to 450 W to continue cooking, or 150 W for simmering.

Place the food in a microwave-safe dish and cover it.

Place the dish on the oven floor. Vegetable cooking times depend on the

texture of the vegetable. Fresh vegetables contain more water than vegetables which have been stored and usually cook more quickly. Add a little water to vegetables which have been kept stored. Stir and turn food at least once during cooking.

Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausages, jacket potatoes and aubergines, should be pierced or cut in several places to allow steam to escape and prevent the food from bursting.

Eggs can be cooked without their shells in the microwave oven only if the yolk membrane has been punctured several times first. The pressure could other wise cause the egg yolk to explode.

Fan Heat D

This method is recommended for every day cooking, e.g. cakes, pastry, me ringues, pizza, potatoes and other veg etables.

Slide the glass tray with the rack into the lowest runner level.

The following containers are suitable: Ovenproof china or glassware, earthen-

ware, pans with heat resistant handles. Cover foods such as potatoes or vege-

tables which are to be simmered or poached, to avoid them drying out.

Where a crisp finish is required e.g. for meat, cook without a lid.

Eggs can only be cooked in their shells in the microwave oven in a specially designed egg-boiling device available from specialist shops. Similarly, hardboiled eggs should not be reheated in the microwave oven as this may lead to the eggs bursting, even once they have been removed from the oven.

Combination programmes

Microwave + Fan Heat h + D

is suitable if you want a shorter cooking time.

Microwave + Grill h + n

Cooking

For more detailed information on cooking consult a good microwave or microwave combi-oven cookbook.

is suitable for cooking food which re quires a crisp finish or browning.

Place the cooking container on the glass tray and slide into the lowest run ner level.

Only use heat-resistant, microwavesafe crockery. No metal.

Cover food being cooked in the Microwave + Fan Heat combination to avoid it drying out.

Leave food being cooked in the Microwave + Grill combination uncovered so that it can brown.

Ensure that food, such as meat and fish, are cooked for an appropriate length of time.

Grilling

The following grill settings are suitable for browning food:

Grill n is suitable for browning dishes such as cauliflower cheese. It can be used for grilling very thin meat or fish.

Microwave + Grill h + n is suitable for cooking food which requires a crisp finish or browning. The microwave power output is limited to 450 W with this setting.

Preparation of meat or fish

Clean, wipe and season. Do not salt slices of meat beforehand as this draws the juices out.

Add a little oil if necessary. Other fats quickly become black or cause the food to smoke. A little butter can be added to chicken if desired.

Clean flat fish and slices of fish in the normal way. To enhance the taste add a little salt or squeeze a little lemon juice over the fish.

Pre-heat the grill for approx. 5 minutes with the oven door shut. Do not select a microwave setting.

Slide the glass tray with the rack

into the upper (2nd) runner level for

–

flat pieces of food into the lowest runner level for thicker

–

pieces of food

Most items should be turned half way through cooking.

Test to see if cooked

One way of finding out how far through a piece of meat has been cooked is to press down on it with a spoon:

– If there is very little resistance to the

pressure of the spoon, it is still red on the inside ("rare").

– If there is some resistance the inside

will be pink ("medium").

– If there is great resistance, it is

throughly cooked through ("well done").

For more detailed information on grilling consult a good microwave or microwave combi-oven cookbook.

Brush the rack with oil and place the prepared food on the rack.

It is best to grill food of a similar thick ness at the same time so that the grill ing time for each item does not vary too greatly.

Baking

Fan Heat D

This method is suitable for baking small cakes, swiss roll, pastry doughs.

Most types of heat-resistant tins or dishes are suitable, including thinwalled and bright, non-reflective metal tins.

Slide the glass tray with the rack into the 1st runner from the bottom, and place the baking tin on this.

Do not push the glass tray right to the back wall, but leave a gap of about 2 cm. Otherwise browning will be uneven.

Baking time should not be too long. This can lead to the cake etc. drying out.

Increasing the temperature from sug gested levels and reducing the time can have an adverse effect on brown ing. To achieve even browning it might be better to select a slightly longer cooking time at a slightly lower temper ature.

Microwave + Fan Heat h + D

This combination programme is suit able for doughs which require longer baking, such as rubbed in and beaten mixtures, yeast recipes and cheese cake.

For preference use ovenproof glass or ceramic baking dishes, as microwaves can penetrate these materials into the food being cooked. Metal tins would re flect microwaves, so that they would only reach the cakes from the top, re sulting in a longer cooking time.

Slide the glass tray into the 1st runner from the bottom, and place the baking dish on this.

Do not push the glass tray right to the back wall, but leave a gap of about 2 cm. Otherwise browning will be uneven.

Baking

With metal baking tins there may be sparking. Try positioning the tin differ ently on the glass tray, and make sure the tin does not touch the interior walls.

If sparking continues, do not use this tin again in microwave combination mode.

Do not use paper based containers coated with aluminium foil, such as are sometimes provided with packet cake mixes. There is the danger of these catching fire.

Switch on the microwave setting for the total cooking time. The microwave setting should not be higher than 150 W.

Temperature settings, times and micro wave power settings in the Baking Chart are suggestions only. Select an average temperature and time for first attempts and adapt accordingly.

If the grease filter is in position in front of the fan grille opening this lengthens baking time.

At the end of the shorter time given, check to see whether the cake etc. is done. Insert a wooden or metal skewer in the centre. If it comes out clean with out dough sticking to it, the cake is ready.

Cleaning and care

Appliance front and control panel

All external surfaces and controls can

be cleaned using warm water with a little washing up liquid applied with a soft sponge.

Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft

cloth.

E-Cloth

A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from the Miele UK Spare Parts Department, Part number 98013530, which is suit able for cleaning surfaces such as stainless steel, glass, plastic and chrome without the use of chemicals.

To prevent the risk of scratches and damage to the surface structure of glass, stainless steel and aluminium fronted appliances pay particular attention to the following cleaning instructions.

Glass fronted appliances

The appliance front and controls are susceptible to scratches and abrasion.

Avoid: –

abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. pow der cleaners and cream cleaners.

–

abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers or sponges which have been previ ously used with abrasive cleaning agents,

–

oven sprays.

Clean the door handle and the control elements regularly, preferably after each use. This will help prevent grease or other deposits adhering to surfaces and becoming impossible to remove.

Aluminium fronted appliances

Aluminium is affected by the way that light falls it, by the surrounding environ ment and by the angle you observe it from.

Aluminium surfaces and controls may suffer discolouration or damage if soiling is left on them for too long. Remove any soiling straight away.

The appliance front and controls are susceptible to scratches and abrasion.

Avoid: – cleaning agents containing soda, ac-

ids or chlorides,

– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. pow-

der cleaners and cream cleaners.

–

abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers or sponges which have been previ ously used with abrasive cleaning agents,

–

stainless steel cleaners,

–

cleaning agents containing descaling agents,

–

diswasher detergent,

–

oven sprays.

Stainless steel surfaces

Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned using a proprietary non-abrasive clean ing agent designed specifically for use on stainless steel.

Avoid: – cleaning agents containing soda, ac-

ids or chlorides,

– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. pow-

der cleaners and cream cleaners.

– abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers

or sponges which have been previ ously used with abrasive cleaning agents.

To help prevent re-soiling, proprietary conditioning agent for stainless steel can also be used. Apply sparingly with even pressure us ing a soft cloth.

Stainless steel coloured controls

The controls may suffer discolour ation or damage if soiling is left on them for too long. Remove any soiling straight away.

Avoid:

cleaning agents containing soda, ac

–

ids or chlorides, abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. pow

–

der cleaners and cream cleaners. abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers

–

or sponges which have been previ-

ously used with abrasive cleaning agents,

– stainless steel cleaners, – oven sprays.

Oven interior

The oven interior is stainless steel. The high temperatures possible when operating in a traditional oven mode can cause the steel to darken slightly.

The oven interior is hot after use. Take care not to burn yourself. Clean the oven interior regularly, preferably after each use. If left too long clean ing becomes unnecessarily difficult, and in extreme cases impossible.

Turn the function selector to the Light nsetting and clean using a solution of hot water and washing up liquid or mild detergent applied with a sponge, soft brush or damp cloth. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Cleaning and care

If anything has become burnt on, use a non-abrasive mild cream cleaner or a proprietary cleaner for stainless steel, applied with a non-scouring kitchen sponge.

Do not use too much water on the cloth or sponge and do not let water or any other substance find its way into any openings.

Residues of fruit juices as well as cake mixtures are best removed while the oven is warm. Spillages of fruit juices can cause lasting discoloration.

If using an oven spray, the manufacturer's instructions must be followed. Do not spray into any of the openings.

Glass floor pane

The glass floor pane can be removed for cleaning.

Gently lift the glass pane and take it

out carefully. Clean in the dishwasher or wash by

hand.

When washing the glass pane by hand lay it on a smooth surface, to avoid any damage.

Do not use any scouring agents. These cause scratches.

Carefully refit the glass pane as follows:

^ Holding the pane with both hands

position it over the supports on the in terior back wall, and lower gently at the front. Make sure the glass pane lies straight in the oven.

Insert the spatula provided between the glass floor pane and the front edge of the appliance.

Carefully lever the pane upwards and support it with the other hand.

Cleaning and care

Oven interior roof

If the oven interior roof is particularly soiled, the grill element can be lowered to make cleaning easier.

Wait until the grill element has cooled down before lowering it to avoid the danger of being burnt.

^ Pull the fixing knob downwards to

lower the grill element.

Door interior

Always keep the door interior clean. Do not use any scouring agent. Check the door and door seal at regular intervals for any sign of damage.

If any damage is noticed, the oven should not be used again in micro wave mode until the fault has been rectified by a service technician.

Accessories

Rack

Wash and dry the rack after each use. Remove stubborn soils with a stainless steel cleaner.

Glass tray

The glass tray can be washed in hot water and washing up liquid, or in the dishwasher.

Do not use scouring agents. These would scratch.

Lower the grill element gently.

Do not use force to lower it as this could cause damage.

After cleaning the grill element, raise it gently back up again and secure. The fixing knob must engage.

Boiling rod

The boiling rod can be washed in a dishwasher.

Special accessories

Glass back panel with grease filter

The removable grease filter can be washed in hot water and washing up liquid, or in the dishwasher.

When cooked by microwaves, food be gins to cook from the outside first, the inside of the food relying on the slower conduction of heat. If food is cooked at a high power level it is possible that the heat may not have reached the centre of the food. During standing time heat is transferred to the centre of the food. Food may be warm in the middle but cool on the edge. When reheating food with different densities, such as plated meals, it is sensible to start with a low power level and lengthen the time required.

. . . strange noises are heard when the microwave or microwave / combination mode is being used.

Check whether

. . . cakes or biscuits are unevenly browned

There will always be a degree of differ ence in browning.

If browning is very uneven, check:

–

whether the temperature was set too high,

–

whether the glass tray had been pushed so far in that it touched the back wall,

–

whether the grease filter had been left in place on the back wall,

–

sparks are being created by the use of metallic crockery, (see "suitable

crockery").

–

the food is covered with aluminium foil. If so, remove it.
