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.
Always remember that cooking,
reheating and defrosting times
using microwave power are usually
considerably shorter than with
traditional methods of food preparation
(Fan plus, Grill). Excessively long
cooking times can lead to food drying
out and burning, or could even cause it
to catch fire. Do not use the microwave
function to dry breadcrumbs, flowers,
herbs, grain etc. Use the Fan plus
function for this type of procedure and
do not leave the oven unattended.
Do not use the microwave function
to heat up cushions or pads filled
with cherry kernels, wheat grain,
lavender or gel, such as those used in
aromatherapy. These pads can ignite
when heated even after they have been
removed from the appliance.
Exercise caution when cooking or
reheating food with a high sugar
content, e.g. Christmas pudding. If
heated for too long the sugar may
caramelise or ignite.
Do not use full power to warm
empty dishes. The lack of food or
incorrect loading could cause damage
to the appliance.
Do not leave the oven unattended
when cooking with oils and fats as
these can be a fire hazard if allowed to
overheat.
If smoke occurs in the oven, to
avoid fuelling any flame do not
open the oven door. Turn the function
selector to "0", or switch off at the mains
and remove the plug from the socket.
Do not open the oven door until the
smoke has dispersed.
Never heat undiluted alcohol in the
oven as this can easily ignite.
Do not heat up tins in the
appliance. Pressure can build up
and they may explode, resulting in
injury or damage.
Cover any food which is left in the
oven to be kept hot, as moisture in
the food could lead to corrosion
damage in the oven. This also prevents
the food from drying out.
Try to avoid the interior walls being
splashed with food or liquids
containing salt. If it does happen wipe
these away thoroughly, to avoid
corrosion on stainless steel surfaces.
The glass tray and the combi rack
take a maximum load of 8 kg.
Exceeding this weight limit can cause
them damage.
Do not lean or sit on an open oven
door, or place heavy items on it.
This could damage the appliance. The
oven door can support a maximum load
of 8 kg.
