GB-IE Instructions for the User 9.3 Using the browning plate Normally when cooking food, such as pizzas or pies, on a grill or in a microwave oven, the dough or pastry becomes soggy. This can be avoided by using a browning plate. As a high temperature is reached quickly on the bottom of the browning plate, the crust turns crisp and brown. The browning plate can also be used for bacon, eggs, sausages, etc. VERY IMPORTANT NOTES: Use oven gloves at all times as the browning plate will become very hot.
Instructions for the User 9.4 GB-IE Cooking with the Grill Element For good results with the grill, use the rack supplied with the oven. Fit the rack in such a way that it doesn’t come into contact with the metal surfaces of the oven cavity since if it does there is a danger of electric arcing which may damage the oven. IMPORTANT POINTS: 1. When the grill is used for the first time there will be some smoke and a smell coming from the oils used during oven manufacture. 2.
GB-IE Instructions for the User After half the grilling time has passed, check on how the cooking is going and, if necessary, turn the food over. The grill is especially suitable for cooking thin portions of meat and fish. Thin portions of meat only need to be turned once, but thicker portions should be turned several times.

GB-IE Instructions for the User Important: aluminium foil cannot come into contact with the cavity walls since this may cause electrical arcing. 9.6.5 Lids We recommend you use glass or plastic lids or cling film since: 1. This will stop excessive evaporation (mainly during very long cooking times); 2. The cooking times are shorter; 3. The food does not become dry; 4. The aroma is preserved. The lid should have holes or openings so that no pressure develops. Plastic bags must also be opened.
