Safety Instructions

Heater Operation

1.Before using CONVECTION, COMBINATION or GRILL function for the first time, wipe excessive oil off in the oven cavity and operate the oven without food and accessories on GRILL 1, for 10 minutes. This will allow the oil that is used for rust protection to be burned off. This is the only time the oven is used empty.

2.Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents on the cabinet and the oven door will get hot during CONVECTION, COMBINATION and GRILLING. Take care when opening or closing the door and when inserting or removing food and accessories.

3.The oven has two quartz heaters situated in the top of the oven. After using the CONVECTION, COMBINATION and GRILL functions, care should be taken to avoid touching the inside surfaces of the oven, as these will be very hot.

N.B. After cooking by these modes, the oven accessories will be very hot.

4.The accessible parts may become hot in COMBINATION and GRILL use. Young children should be kept away and children should only use the oven under adult supervision due to the temperatures.

Fan Motor Operation

While the oven is in Microwave/Heater operation, the cooling fan always rotates to cool the electric components. After the completion of operation, the fan may continue rotating for a while. This is perfectly normal, and you can take out the food from the oven while the fan is still in operation.

Oven Light

When it becomes necessary to replace the oven light, please consult your dealer.

Accessories

The oven comes equipped with a variety of accessories. Always follow the directions given for use of the accessories.

Glass Tray

1.Do not operate the oven without the roller ring and the glass tray in place.

2.Never use another type of glass tray than the one specially designed for this oven.

3.If the glass tray is hot, let it cool before cleaning or placing in water.

4.The glass tray can turn in either direction.

5.If the food or cooking vessel on the glass tray touches the oven walls and stops the tray rotating, the tray will automatically rotate in the opposite direction. This is normal.

6.Do not cook foods directly on the glass tray, except when cooking Jacket Potatoes in microwave mode.

Roller Ring

1.The roller ring and the oven floor should be cleaned frequently to prevent noise and build-up of remaining food.

2.The roller ring must always be used for cooking together with the glass tray.

Metal Tray

1.The Metal Tray is for cooking on Grill, Convection and Combination modes. Do not use Metal Tray in Microwave mode only.

2.The Metal Tray should be placed on the

Glass Tray or Wire Rack.

Wire Rack

1.The wire rack is used to grill small dishes, and help with the circulation of heat.

2.Do not use any metal container directly on the Wire Rack in COMBINATION with MICROWAVE.

3.Do not use the Wire Rack in MICROWAVE mode only.

Important Information

1) Cooking Times

•Cooking times given in the cookbook are approximate. The cooking time depends on the condition, temperature, amount of food and on the type of cookware.

•Begin with the minimum cooking time to help prevent overcooking. If the food is not sufficiently cooked you can always cook it for a little longer.

N.B.: If the recommended cooking times are exceeded the food will be spoiled and in extreme circumstances could catch fire and possibly damage the interior of the oven.

2) Small Quantities of Foods

•Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content can burn, dry out or catch on fire if cooked too long. If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off and remove the plug from the socket.

3) Eggs

•Do not cook eggs in their shells and whole hard-boiled eggs by MICROWAVE. Pressure may build up and the eggs may explode, even after the microwave heating has ended.

4) Piercing Skin

•Food with non porous skins, such as potatoes, egg yolks and sausages must be pierced before cooking by MICROWAVE to prevent bursting.

5) Meat Thermometer

•Use a meat thermometer to check the degree of cooking of roasts and poultry only when the meat has been removed from the oven. Do not use a conventional meat thermometer when using MICROWAVE or COMBINATION because it may cause sparking.

6)Liquids

When heating liquids, e.g. soup, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling.

This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid. To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken:

a)Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

b)Do not overheat.

c)Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the cooking time.

d)After heating, allow it to stand in the oven for a short time, stir again before carefully removing the container.

7)Paper/Plastic

•When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check the oven frequently as these types of containers ignite if overheated.

•Do not use recycled paper products (e.g. Kitchen Roll) unless the paper product is labelled as safe for microwave oven use. Recycled paper products may contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires during use.

•Remove wire twist-ties from roasting bags before placing the bags in the oven.

8) Utensils/Foil

•Do not heat any closed cans or bottles because they might explode.

•Metal containers or dishes with metallic trim should not be used during Microwave cooking. Sparking will occur.

•If you use any aluminium foil, meat spikes or metalware the distance between them and the oven walls and door should be at least 2 cm to prevent sparking.

9) Feeding Bottles/Baby Food Jars

•The top and teat or lid must be removed from feeding bottles or baby food jars before placing in the oven.

•The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken.

•The temperature has to be checked before consumption to avoid burns.
