Light

The oven light will switch on:

• When the oven is in use

• When the oven door is open and in standby mode – (if the oven door is left open

the light will automatically switch off after ten min utes to save energy).

Defrosting instructions

• When defrosting, use only dishes that are appropriate for microwav es, i.e.
glass.

• The defrosting time depends on the quantity and thickness of the food.
Because of this, it is useful to freeze food in smaller, more convenient
portions.

• Distribute the food well. You can use aluminium foil to shield delicate parts of
the food, provided that the pieces of aluminium foil are relatively small relative
to the size of the food. Important: The aluminium foil should not come into
contact with the inner cavity of the oven as this may cause electrical arcing.

• Thick portions of food should be turned over several times in the process of
defrosting.

• Distribute the frozen food as evenly as possible since narrow and thin
portions defrost more quickly than the thicker and broader parts.

• Fat-rich foods, such as butter, cheese and cream should not be completely
defrosted by this method as they will melt and spoil. After partial defrosting, if
they are then kept at room temperature for a few minutes they will then be
ready for serving.

• When defrosting poultry, place the poultry on an upturned plate within a glass
dish so that the meat juices can run off more easily. Always discard this
defrost liquid and under no circumstances allow it to come into contact with
other foods (danger of salmonella poisoning). Wash the plate and glass dish,
your hands, and the sink.

• Remove frozen food from its packaging. Especially remember to remove
metal wire twist tags. Foods in plastic trays may go straight into the
microwave. Foods in metal trays should be transferred into microwave-safe
containers.

• Do not forget that by using the defrosting function you need to allow for
standing time until the food is completely defrosted.

25

• In defrost process, please turn food over when the microwave oven beeps

and displays "turn". Please refer to the following table for different defrosting
times for various foods

:

Cooking with the Grill

For better grilling, use the rack supplied to lift the baking tray closer to the grill
element. Insert the rack on the turntable so that it doesn’t come into contact with the
metal surfa ce s of the oven cavity, otherwise electrical arcing which may occur which
may damage the oven.

26

IMPORTANT POINTS:

• There will be some smoke and smell when the grill is used for the first time. That
is because of oil left from the manufacturing process.

• The glass of the oven door becomes very hot when the oven is working. Keep
children away.

• When the grill is used for an extended period of time, it is normal to find that the
element will switch itself off and on periodically to maintain the required
temperature and to prevent over-heating.

• Important: When food is to be grilled or cooked in containers you should check
that the container is suitable to cope with the heat from the grill and for
microwave use in combination mode. See the section on types of ovenware!

• When the grill is used it is possible that some splashes of fat may go onto the
element and be burnt off. This is a normal situation and does not mean there is
any kind of operational fault.

• After you have finished cooking, and the oven has cooled down, clean the
interior and the accessories so that food debris does not become baked on when
the oven is next used.

27

Microwave function
Warning – always read the safety precautions before using the microwave.

Always follow these recommendations when cooking with a microwave oven:

• Always prick foods with a peel or skin (baking potatoes, sausages, etc.) to prevent
them bursting.

• Only use containers or dishes which are suitable for microwave cooking (e.g.
heatproof glass).

• Microwave cooking works by making water molecules in food vibrate against each
other to create heat. Therefore foods which contain little water (like bread or
popcorn) may cease cooking and start burning very quickly which the risk of fire
and damage to the appliance. You should, therefore, not exceed recommended
cooking times and should monitor the cooking process closely.

• Do not heat oil in the microwave.

• If cooking in several containers at once, space the containers out evenly on the

turntable.

• Do not use metal wire twist tags; use plastic clips if required for closing cooking
bags. Prick cooking bags to allow steam and pressure to escape.

• Foods will require turning and stirring to ensure even heating.

• It is normal for steam to condense to water on the oven door glass, especially when

the kitchen is cold. This will not affect the cooking results. Simply wipe the water
away after cooking when the appliance has cooled.

• When heating liquids, bear in mind that using a wider container can help steam to
evaporate more easily. Bubbles can form unevenly when liquids are microwaved,
resulting in delayed eruptive boiling. This means that the cup or container could
suddenly boil over when removed from the oven with the associated risk of
scalding. Placing a plastic boiling rod (available from kitchenware stores) in the cup
or container during microwaving will help to reduce this risk, but you should still
exercise caution when removing the cup or container from the oven.

• The greater the amount of food, the longer the cooking time will be. As a general
rule: double the quantity = double the time; half the quantity = half the time.

• The lower the temperature of the food, or the lower the microwave power level, the
longer the cooking time will be.

• Foods containing a lot of liquid (water) will heat up more quickly.

• Always distribute food evenly on the turntable; denser foods should be placed on

the outer part of the turntable and less dense foods on the inner part of the
turntable.

• When you need to stir or turn the food, simply open the door and the microwave
function will pause automatically. The microwave function will start again when the
door is closed and ‘start’ is touched.

• Covering foods with a plastic cover or microwave-safe cling film will reduce cooking
times and retain moisture and flavours, but the cover or cling film must have vents
to allow steam and pressure to escape.

• The following table gives guidance on cooking vegetables in the microwave.

• Please bear in mind that these figures are only for guidance, and actual required

cooking times may vary depending on the initial temperature, moisture content and

28

quantity of the food. It may be necessary to adjust the cooking duration times
and/or microwave power level a little.

What kinds of ovenware can be used?

• Micr owave energy can pass through glass, china, plastic, clay pots and paper
containers to be absorbed into the food.

• Microwave energy cannot pass through metal containers as the metal reflects the
microwaves.

• Therefore, it is best to use heat-resistant glass containers in the microwave.

• If the glass or china cookware has a metallic trim (like a gold leaf decoration) or

contains metal (like lead crystal), then it cannot be used in the microwave.

• Microwave energy heats the moisture in the food directly rather than heating the
cookware. However, the cookware will become hot eventually from the heat
radiated from the food. Therefore, you must use oven gloves when removing the
cookware from the oven.

• To test if an item of cookware is suitable to use in microwave mode, place it on the
oven turntable with a cup of water next to it. Start the microwave on maximum
power for 20 seconds. At the end of the test, the water in the cup should be warm
(because it has absorbed the microwave energy) and the cookware item should be
cool. The cookware item is then suitable to use in the microwave. If the cookware
item was warm and the water was cold, then that would indicate that the cookware
item had absorbed the microwave energy and would not be suitable to use for
microwave cooking. If you notice any arcing during the test, switch the oven off
immediately.

• For grilling and convection fan oven, cookware needs to be heat-resistant to a t least
300°C.

• Plastic containers are not suitable for grill, convection or grill-combination,
convection-combination or grill-convection-combination functions.

• For combination cooking functions, it is best to use heat-resis tant gla ss cookware.

• Heat-resistant glass will be able to cope with the high temperatures from the grill

and/or convection oven and will also allow microwave energy to pass through the
glass into the food.

29

• Exercise caution if using aluminium containers or aluminium foil in microwave
mode.

• Always follow the cooking instructions on the food packaging.

• The aluminium containers must not be more than 3cm high, and must be kept at

least 3cm away from the oven cavity walls.

• Remove any aluminium lid or top from the container.

• Food cooked in an aluminium container will take longer to cook as the microwaves

can only penetrate the food from the top. It is better to take the food out of the
aluminium container and place it into a dish suitable for microwave cooking.

• Aluminium foil must not come into contact with the oven cavity walls as this may
cause arcing.

• Never use aluminium foil in grill or grill-combination modes as it can reflect the heat
from the grill element leading to excessively high temperatures and the risk of fire.

• For covering food during microwaving, it is best to use glass or plastic lids or
covers, or microwave-safe cling film. This will help to preserve moisture and
flavours in the food.

• These should have vents to allow steam and pressure to escape.

• Plastic cooking bags should be left open or lightly closed with plastic clips in

microwave mode.

• If heating baby bottles or baby food in jars, the tops/lids must be removed to prevent
the bottle/jar from bursting.

• Food/liquids must be stirred to ensure even heating.

• For heavier soiling, place a glass of water with lemon juice in it on the turntable and
switch the microwave on at maximum power for about 3 minutes. The steam will
soften grease and dirt to make it easier to wipe away, and the lemon will help to
eliminate odours.

• The baking tray and grill rack can also be washed in warm soapy water.
