GB•30lt.DL 11-09-2001 14:16 Pagina 16 CHAPTER 3 – USING THE OVEN: SUGGESTIONS AND TIME CHART 3.1 DEFROSTING E N G L I S H • Frozen food in plastic bags, plastic film or cardboard packets can be placed directly in the oven for defrosting as provided the packet has no metal parts (e.g. metal ties or staples). • Certain foods, such as vegetables and fish, do not require complete defrosting before being cooking.
GB•30lt.DL 11-09-2001 14:16 Pagina 17 3 3.2 REHEATING Reheating food is one of the key features in which your microwave oven displays its usefulness and efficiency. Compared to traditional methods, a microwave saves time and electricity. • It is advisable to reheat food (especially if it is frozen) to a temperature of at least 70°C. This means the food will not be ready to eat immediately (because it is too hot!) but it will be completely sterilised.
GB•30lt.DL 11-09-2001 14:16 Pagina 18 3 CHAPTER 3 – USING THE OVEN: SUGGESTIONS AND TIME GRIDS 3.3 - COOKING ANTIPASTI AND FIRST COURSES Soups in general require less liquid because in a microwave oven evaporation is rather minimal. Salt must be added only at the end of cooking or during standing time as it dehydrates the food. It is fair to say that the time needed to cook rice in the microwave oven is more or less equal to the time taken to cook it on a stove in the traditional manner.
GB•30lt.DL 11-09-2001 14:16 Pagina 19 3 CHAPTER 3 – USING THE OVEN: SUGGESTIONS AND TIME GRIDS 3.5 - COOKING SIDE DISHES AND VEGETABLES Vegetables cooked in a microwave oven preserve their colour and nutritional value better than traditional cooking. Wash and peel the vegetables before starting to cook. Larger vegetables should be cut into evenly-sized pieces. Add approx. 5 spoonfuls of water for every 500g of vegetables (vegetables which have a high fibre content will require more water).
GB•30lt.DL 11-09-2001 14:16 Pagina 20 3 CHAPTER 3 – USING THE OVEN: SUGGESTIONS AND TIME GRIDS 3.6 - COOKING FISH Fish cooks very quickly and with excellent results. It can be dressed with a little butter or oil (if so desired). Cover it with transparent film. If skin is left on, this must be scored, and the fillets should be arranged evenly. It is not advisable to cook fish battered or crumbed.

The internal cavity of your oven is covered with a special enamel to which splashes and food particles do not stick, making cleaning simple. Always keep the microwave outlet cover (C) clean and free from grease and fat.
GB•30lt.DL 11-09-2001 14:16 Pagina 23 4 CHAPTER 4 – CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE 4.2 MAINTENANCE If something does not quite work right or if a foult devalops, contact technician for service.Please check the following faults before calling technician: PROBLEM The appliance does not work Condensation on the work surface, inside the oven or around the door. Sparks inside the oven CAUSE/SOLUTION • • • The door is not closed properly. The plug is not correctly inserted.
GB•30lt.DL 11-09-2001 14:16 Pagina 24 ELECTRICAL A) CONNECTION If your appliance comes fitted with a plug, it will incorporate a 13 Amp fuse. If it does not fit your socket, the plug should be cut off from the mains lead, and an appropriate plug fitted, as below. WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug after removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket elsewhere in the house as this could cause a shock hazard.
