Bake larger deep-frozen items
such as pizzas on baking paper
on the rack itself or in the pizza pan
(see "Extra accessories"). Placing them
on the baking tray or in the grill pan
can cause the metal to distort. This dis-
tortion would increase with subsequent
use.
Deep frozen foods such as oven chips
or potato croquettes can be cooked on
the baking tray or grill pan.
Never add water to food on a hot
baking tray or grill pan or directly
onto food in a hot oven. The steam cre-
ated could cause serious burns or
scalding and the sudden change in
temperature can damage the enamel.
Never line the floor of the oven with
aluminium foil when using Conven-
tional top and bottom heat A, Bottom
heat B or Intensive baking F. Do
not place a dish, tin, baking tray or grill
pan on the floor of the oven.
If using a grill pan made by a different
manufacturer make sure that there is a
gap of at least 6 cm between the bot-
tom of the pan and the floor of the
oven.
If these instructions are not observed
the bottom heat will be blocked. This
can cause permanent damage to the
floor of the oven.
Protective aluminium foil panels
are available in retail outlets which
are supposed to protect the oven cav-
ity from soiling and reduce the need for
cleaning. If used, cooking and baking
times will increase considerably.
They can also cause damage to the ap-
pliance (e.g. by blocking the heat).
General notes
Never leave the appliance unat-
tended 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 tempera-
tures radiated, objects left near the
oven or hob could catch fire.
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 temperature, changes to the
recipe and the shape and size of cook-
ing container. Some foods may contain
micro organisms which are only de-
stroyed by thorough cooking at tem-
peratures over 70°C for a minimum of
10 minutes. Therefore when cooking or
reheating foods, e.g. poultry, it is par-
ticularly 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.
