INSTALLATION PRIOR TO CONNECTING CHECK THAT THE VOLTAGE on the rating plate corresponds to the voltage in your home. ENSURE THAT THE APPLIANCE IS NOT DAMAGED. Check that the oven door closes firmly against the door support and that the internal door seal is not damaged. Empty the oven and clean the interior with a soft, damp cloth. Place the oven on a stable, even surface that is strong enough to hold the oven and the food utensils you put in it. Use care when handling.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE DO NOT HEAT, OR USE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS in or near the oven. Fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. ONLY ALLOW CHILDREN to use the oven without adult supervision after adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use. The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
PRECAUTIONS GENERAL LIQUIDS E.G. BEVERAGES OR WATER. Overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid. To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken: 1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks. 2. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and let the teaspoon remain in the container. 3.
ACCESSORIES GENERAL TURNTABLE SUPPORT USE THE TURNTABLE SUPPORT under the Glass turntable. Never put any other utensils on the turntable support. Fit the turntable support in the oven. THERE ARE a number of accessories available on the market. Before you buy, ensure they are suitable for microwave use. ENSURE THAT THE UTENSILS YOU USE are oven proof and allow microwaves to pass through them before cooking.
PAUSE OR STOP COOKING TO PAUSE COOKING The cooking can be paused to check, turn or stir the food by opening the door. IF YOU DON’T WANT TO CONTINUE COOKING Remove the food, turn the adjust knob to zero and close the door. TO CONTINUE COOKING Close the door. The cooking is resumed from where it was paused. OPERATING THE OVEN GB q SELECT POWER LEVEL AND FUNCTION by turning the multifunction knob. w TURN THE ADJUST KNOB clockwise to set the desired cooking time. The oven starts automatically.
COOKING CHART THE MORE FOOD YOU WANT TO COOK the longer it takes. A rule of thumb is that double amount of food requires almost double the time. THE LOWER STARTING TEMPERATURE, the longer cooking time is required. Food at room temperature cooks faster than food taken directly from the refrigerator. IF YOU ARE COOKING SEVERAL ITEMS of the same food, such as jacket potatoes, place them in a ring pattern for uniform cooking. SOME FOODS ARE COVERED BY A SKIN OR MEMBRANE e.g. potatoes, apples and egg yolks.
REHEATING CHART AS IN TRADITIONAL COOKING METHODS, food reheated in a microwave oven must always be heated until piping hot. THE BEST RESULTS ARE ACHIEVED if the food is arranged with the thicker food to the outside of the plate and the thinner food in the centre. PLACE THIN SLICES OF MEAT on top of each other or interlace them. Thicker slices such as meat loaf and sausages have to be placed close to each other.
DEFROSTING CHART TURN LARGE JOINTS halfway through the defrosting process. BOILED FOOD, STEWS AND MEAT SAUCES defrost better if stirred during defrosting time. WHEN DEFROSTING it is better to underthaw the food slightly and allow the process to finish during standing time. STANDING TIME AFTER DEFROSTING always improves the result since the temperature will then be evenly distributed throughout the food.
GRILLING CHART ENSURE that the utensils you use are heat resistant, ovenproof and allow microwaves to pass through them before Grilling with microwaves combined. DO NOT use plastic utensils when grilling. They will melt. Items of wood or paper are not suitable either. THE GRILL FUNCTION IS EXCELLENT for browning the food after cooking with microwaves. THE WIRE RACK may be used to move foods closer to the grill element for quicker browning.
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING CLEANING IS THE ONLY MAINTENANCE normally required. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE OVEN in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation. DO NOT USE METAL SCOURING PADS, ABRASIVE CLEANSERS , steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths, etc. which can damage the control panel, and the interior and exterior oven surfaces.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE IF THE OVEN DOES NOT WORK, do not make a service call until you have made the following checks: The Turntable and turntable support is in place. The Plug is properly inserted in the wall socket. The Door is properly closed. Check your Fuses and ensure that there is power available. Check that the oven has ample ventilation. Wait for 10 minutes, then try to operate the oven once more. Open and then close the door before you try again.
