RECOMMENDED USE AND TIPS

HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE

The Table inDicaTes The besT funcTions to use for any

given food. Cooking times, where indicated, start from the moment when food is placed in the microwave oven cavity, excluding preheating (where required).

cooking seTTings anD Times are purely for

guidance and will depend on the amount of

food and type of accessory used. Always cook food for the minimum cooking time given and check that is it cooked through.

To obTain The besT resulTs, carefully follow the advice given in the cooking table regarding the choice of accessories (if supplied) to be used (if present).

CLING FILM AND BAGS

remove wire TwisT-Ties from paper or plastic bags

before placing the bag in the microwave oven cavity.

cling film shoulD be scoreD or pricked with a fork

to relieve the pressure and to prevent bursting because steam builds up during cooking.

COOKING FOOD

since microwaves penetrate the food to a limited

depth, if there are a number of pieces to cook at once, arrange the pieces in a circle to create more outside pieces.

small pieces cook more quickly than large pieces. cuT fooD into pieces of equal size for uniform

cooking.

moisTure evaporaTes during microwave cooking. a microwave-proof cover on the container helps

reduce moisture loss.

mosT fooDs will conTinue to cook after microwave

has nished cooking it. Therefore, always allow for standing time to complete the cooking.

sTirring is usually necessary during microwave cooking. When stirring, bring the cooked portions on the outside edges towards the centre and the less-cooked centre portions towards the outside.

place Thin slices of meaT on top of each other or interlace them. Thicker slices such as meat loaf and sausages have to be placed close to each other.

LIQUIDS

liquiDs may overheaT beyond boiling point without visibly bubbling. This could cause hot liquids to suddenly boil over.

To prevenT This possibiliTy:

Avoid using straight-sided containers with

narrow necks.

Stir the liquid before placing the container

in the microwave oven cavity and leave the teaspoon in the container.

After heating, stir again before carefully

removing the container from the microwave oven.

BABY FOOD

afTer heaTing baby fooD or liquids in a baby bottle

or in a baby food jar, always stir and check the temperature before serving.

This will ensure that the heat is evenly

distributed and avoid the risk of scalding or burns.

ensure that the lid and the teat are removed before heating.

FROZEN FOOD

for besT resulTs, we recommend defrosting directly on the glass turntable. If needed, it is possible to use a light-plastic container that is suitable for microwave.

boileD fooD, stews and meat sauces defrost better if stirred during the defrosting time.

separaTe pieces as they begin to defrost.

Individual slices defrost more easily.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

fruiT juice Drippings may leave permanent stains. Let the oven cool and clean before next use.

ensure only waTer is used in the water container.

No other liquids are allowed.

never pull ouT fully loaded shelves. Use extreme

caution.

leT The oven cool off before cleaning. The water in the bottom recess is hot after cooking.

keep The Door seal surfaces clean. The oven door must shut properly.

wipe off any resiDual conDensaTion that may be

present in the cooled oven after cooking. Don’t forget the cavity ceiling which is easily overlooked. Some foods require a completely dry oven for best result.

CAREFUL fooD & alcohol. Be extra careful when cooking or reheating food that contains alcohol. If you are adding alcohol (e.g. rum, cognac, wine etc.) Remember that alcohol evaporates easily at high temperatures. You should therefore bear in mind that the vapors released can ignite when they come in contact with the electrical heating element. If possible you should refrain from using alcohol in this oven.

push - push knobs The knobs of

This oven are aligned with the

buttons on the panel, at delivery. The knobs will slide out if pushed and their various functions can be accessed. It is not necessary to have them petruding from the panel during operation. Simply push them back into the panel when you are done with the setting and continue to operate the oven.

ACCESSORIES

GENERAL There are a number of accessories available on the market. Before you buy, ensure they are suitable for cooking with steam.

ensure ThaT There is a space of at least 30 mm

between the upper rim of the container and the cavity ceiling to allow sucient steam entrance to the container.

CHOOSING COOKING CONTAINER

use perforaTeD cooking containers whenever

possible, e.g. for cooking vegetables. The steam has free access to the food from all sides and the food is cooked evenly.

sTeam easily reaches into the space between big

pieces of food such as large potatoes. This ensures even and eective cooking. It enables a large quantity to nish in the same amount of time as a smaller quantity. Placing (spacing) food to allow the steam even and easy access to individual pieces of food enables it to be cooked in the same amount of time as smaller quantities.

more compacT Dishes such as casseroles or bakes,

or food such as peas or asparagus spears, which have very small / no space between them will take longer to cook because the steam has less space to work in.

SPONGE

The supplieD sponge is used for

wiping o residual condensation that may be present in the cooled oven after cooking. It is important that you allow the oven to cool o to avoid scalding.

DRIP TRAY

The Drip Tray is used to

collect the dripping juices and food particles that otherwise would stain and soil the interior of the oven. Avoid placing vessels directly on the oven bottom.
