Miele h 4431 Convection Oven User Manual


 
Bake larger frozen products, 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, and this distortion will increase
with each subsequent use.
Frozen food such as oven chips or
croquette potatoes can, however, be
cooked on the baking tray or in the 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
created 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
Conventional CB or Bottom heat B or
Intensive bake F, or place a dish, tin,
baking tray or grill pan on the floor of
the oven.
If using a grill pan or baking tray made
by a different manufacturer, make sure
that there is a gap of at least 6 cm
between the bottom 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 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 oil
or 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.
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 during
cooking.
