~ Never open the casing of the appliance. Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous and can cause operational faults or electric shock. ~ Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, make sure that the rating on the data plate corresponds to the voltage and frequency of the household supply[...]

Correct use ~ Always ensure that food is sufficiently heated. Many factors will affect the overall cooking time, including the size and amount of food, its initial temperature, changes to the recipe, and the shape and size of the cooking container. Some foods may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking, therefore when c[...]

~ Before serving, remember to allow a sufficient standing time and then always check the temperature of the actual food itself after taking it out of the microwave. The temperature of the container is not an indication of the temperature of the food or liquid in it. This is particularly important when preparing food for babies, children, and the el[...]

~ Do not use any containers or cutlery made from or containing metal, aluminium foil, lead crystal glassware, temperature-sensitive plastics, wooden utensils or cutlery, metal clips or wire ties. Do not use bowls with milled rims, or plastic pots with the foil lid only partially removed. Such items could be damaged or cause a fire hazard. The rack [...]

~ Ovenproof earthenware can retain a considerable amount of moisture. Eartherware and porcelain containers with hollow handles and lid knobs must only be used in this oven if they have vent holes which allow the moisture to escape. Without vent holes pressure can build up, causing the container to crack or shatter with the danger of injury. ~ When [...]

In a microwave oven there is a high-frequency tube called a magnetron. This converts electrical energy into microwaves. These microwaves are distributed evenly throughout the oven interior, and rebound off the metal sides of the oven interior to reach the food from all sides. Microwave distribution is improved with the turntable engaged. In order f[...]

What can a microwave oven do? In the microwave oven, food is cooked, reheated or defrosted quickly. You can use the microwave in the following ways: – Food can be defrosted, reheated or cooked by entering a power setting and a time. – Deep-frozen, ready-made meals can be defrosted and then reheated or cooked. – The microwave oven can also be [...]

Microwaves – are reflected by metal, – pass through glass, porcelain, plastic and card, – and are absorbed by food. Material and shape The material and shape of containers used affect cooking results and times. Heat distribution is more even in round and oval shaped flat containers than in rectangular containers, providing better results. Con[...]

Do not place aluminium foil dishes on the grilling rack in case the dish sparks or arcs. If sparks occur, transfer food to a microwave-safe container. – Pieces of aluminium foil For even defrosting and to avoid overcooking unevenly shaped cuts of meat, poultry or fish, small pieces of aluminium foil may be used to mask wingtips or other thin part[...]

Disposable containers, such as trays made from polystyrene, can only be used for very short, timed warming and reheating of food. Plastic boiling bags can be used for cooking and reheating. They should be pierced beforehand so that steam can escape. This prevents a build-up of pressure and reduces the risk of the bag bursting. Do not use metal clip[...]

The cover – prevents too much steam escaping, especially when cooking foods which need longer to cook, such as potatoes. – speeds up the cooking process. – prevents food from drying out. – helps keep the oven interior clean. Always cover food with the cover supplied. Alternatively, use lids or covers made of microwave-safe glass or plastic,[...]
