Miele M 8201-1 Microwave Oven User Manual


 
Use
The gourmet plate gets extremely
hot when in use. Always use oven
gloves when handling it to avoid
burns. Place it on a suitable
heat-resistant mat or pot rest.
Before using for the first time
Before using the gourmet plate for the
first time, fill it with 400 ml water and
add 3-4 tbsps vinegar or lemon juice.
Heat for 5 minutes on 450 W + Grill L.
The gourmet plate has an
easy-to-clean anti-stick coating so
that food can be removed easily.
The coating is susceptible to cuts
and scratches. Therefore do not cut
food up directly on the plate.
Use wooden or plastic utensils to
mix or turn food. Metallic or sharp
objects can damage the coating.
Searing/browning food
Because food does not stick to the
anti-stick coating, only very little fat or
oil is necessary when cooking with this
dish.
Never leave the gourmet plate
unattended when cooking with oil or
fats, as these are a fire hazard if
allowed to overheat.
^
When using the gourmet plate, make
sure that the food is ready to transfer
to the hot gourmet plate as soon as it
has heated up.
^
Place the gourmet plate directly on
the turntable.
Do not place it on the rack. Make
sure there is a gap of approx. 2 cm
between the gourmet plate and the
interior walls of the appliance,
otherwise sparking could occur and
damage the gourmet plate and the
oven interior.
^
Heat the plate up on 450 W + Grill
L for up to 5 minutes.
Do not overheat the empty gourmet
plate, otherwise the coating could
be damaged.
If using oil, you can either heat up the
oil on the gourmet plate, or you can
heat the oil separately and then add it
to the plate.
Butter, however, should always be
added after heating up the gourmet
plate. It has a lower burning point than
oil and would get too dark or burn if
added too soon.
Always dry meat, poultry, fish and
vegetables thoroughly before placing
them on the gourmet plate.
Do not use the gourmet plate to
cook eggs or reheat cooked eggs.
The eggs can explode.
