GB-IE Instructions for the User 9 9.1 RECOMMENDED COOKING TABLES Cooking with Microwaves Warning! Read the section “Safety Precautions” before cooking with your microwave. Follow these recommendations when cooking with microwaves: Before heating or cooking foods with peel or skin (e.g. apples, tomatoes, potatoes, sausages) prick them so that they do not burst. Cut the food up before starting to prepare it.
GB-IE Instructions for the User Cooking with microwaves... 1. The greater the amount of food, the longer the cooking time. Keep in mind that: Double the quantity » double the time Half the quantity » half the time 2. The lower the temperature, the longer the cooking time. 3. Foods containing a lot of liquid heat up more quickly. 4. Cooking will be more uniform if the food is evenly distributed on the turntable.
GB-IE Instructions for the User 9.2 Defrosting with Microwaves General instructions for defrosting 1. When defrosting, use only dishes that are appropriate for microwaves (china, glass, suitable plastic). 2. The defrost function by weight and the tables refer to the defrosting of raw food. 3. The defrosting time depends on the quantity and thickness of the food. When freezing food keep the defrosting process in mind. Distribute the food evenly in the container. 4.
Instructions for the User GB-IE The table below shows different defrosting and standing times (in order to ensure the food temperature is evenly distributed) for different types and weights of food, plus recommendations.
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. Heat up the grill beforehand for 2 minutes. 9.4.
GB-IE Instructions for the User 9.5 Cooking with the Round Heating Element 9.5.1 Round Heating Element + Fan The combination of the fan and round heating element around it, gives uniform heat distribution with no cold spots. This results in many benefits – no flavour transfer when cooking different foods at the same time, less energy is needed, and it cooks at 10% quicker than a normal oven. All foods can be cooked with this function. IMPORTANT POINTS: 1.
GB-IE Instructions for the User If the weight of the meat to be roasted does not appear on the table choose the settings for the weight immediately below and extend the cooking times. Advice on ovenware Check that the ovenware fits inside the oven. Hot glass containers should be put on a dry kitchen cloth. If such containers are put on a cold or wet surface the glass may crack and break. Use oven gloves to take the ovenware out of the oven.
Instructions for the User GB-IE Advice on saving energy When you are making more than one cake, it is advisable to bake them in the oven one after the other when the oven is still hot. This lets you reduce the baking time for the second and later cakes. It is preferable to use dark coloured baking ware - painted or enamelled black – since such baking tins absorb heat better.
GB-IE Instructions for the User 9.7 What kind of ovenware can be used? 9.7.1 Microwaves function For the microwave function, keep in mind that microwaves are reflected by metal surfaces. Glass, china, clay, plastic, and paper let microwaves pass. For this reason, metal pans and dishes or containers with metal parts or decorations cannot be used in the microwave. Glass ware and clay with metallic decoration or content (e.g. lead crystal) cannot be used in microwave ovens.
GB-IE Instructions for the User 9.7.5 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.
GB-IE Instructions for the User 10 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Before carrying out any operations, disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply. Take the plug out of the socket or switch off the oven’s power circuit. Warning! Never use a jet of steam for cleaning the inside of the oven. Warning! Your microwave oven should be cleaned regularly, with all food remains being removed.
Instructions for the User GB-IE To remove dirt that is harder to shift, use a non-aggressive cleaning product. Do not use oven sprays or other aggressive or abrasive cleaning products. Always keep the door and the oven front very clean to ensure that the door opens and closes properly. Make sure water does not enter the microwave ventilation holes. Regularly take out the turntable plate and the respective support and clean the cavity base, especially after any liquid spillage.
GB-IE Instructions for the User 11 EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE Occasionally, the oven will require minor servicing procedures or the replacement of parts subject to wear and tear, such as gaskets, light bulbs, etc. The specific operations for each procedure of this kind are provided below. Before carrying out any operation involving access to live parts, disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply. 11.
Instructions for the User GB-IE When the oven is operating I can hear some strange noises! Check if: There is any electrical arcing inside the oven caused by foreign metallic objects (see section on type of ovenware). The ovenware is touching the oven walls. There are any loose items of cutlery or cooking tools inside the oven. The food doesn’t heat up or heats very slowly! Check if: You have inadvertently used metal ovenware. You have selected the correct operating times and power level.
