Protective aluminium foil panels are
available in retail outlets which are
supposed to protect the oven cavity
from soiling and reduce the need for
cleaning. If used, cooking and baking
times will increase considerably.
They can also cause damage to the
appliance (e.g. by blocking the heat).
General notes
Never leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with oils
and fats as these are a fire hazard if
allowed to overheat.
Do not use the oven to heat up the
room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects left near the oven
could catch fire.
Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaner to clean this
appliance. The steam could attack the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
Always ensure that food is
sufficiently cooked or reheated.
Many factors will affect the overall
cooking time, including the size and
amount of food, its temperature,
changes to the recipe and the shape
and size of cooking container. Some
foods may contain micro organisms
which are only destroyed by thorough
cooking at temperatures over 70°C for
a minimum of 10 minutes. Therefore
when cooking or reheating foods, e.g.
poultry, it is particularly important that
food is fully cooked through. If in doubt
select a longer cooking or reheating
time.
It is important that the heat is allowed 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.
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.
Danger of electric shock.
If using alcohol in your recipes
high temperatures can cause the
alcohol to vaporise and under adverse
circumstances the alcohol can catch
light on the hot heating elements.
Alcohol should be burnt off before the
dish is placed in the oven to avoid this
danger.
Disposal of your old appliance
Before throwing an old appliance
away it must first be made
unusable. Switch off and disconnect it
from the power. This should be done by
a competent person.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.
