Tips on baking pans

The most commonly used type of baking pans are black metal pans. However, if you intend to use microwaves for baking, use glass, ceramic or plastic baking pans. They must be resistant to temperatures up to 250^ C. If you use this type of pans, cakes may not brown as much.

Tips on baking cakes

Different kinds of cakes require different temperatures and baking times. First try lower settings and then, if necessary, use higher temperatures. The lower temperature ensures even baking. Always put the pan in the middle of the turntable.

Suggestions for baking.

How to check if the cake is baked.

Insert a toothpick into the thickest part of the cake, 10 minutes before the end of baking time. If the dough does not stick to the toothpick, it means it is ready.

If the cake is very dark:

Next time select lower temperature and leave the cake in the oven longer.

When the cake is too dry

Make a few small holes in the cake with a toothpick after the end of baking. Then put some fruit on top of the cake or sprinkle with alcohol drink. Next time increase the temperature by 10^ C and reduce the baking time.

When the cake does not come out of the baking pan after turning upside down

Let the cake rest for 5 to 10 minutes after baking, then it should come out much easier. However, if it still does not come out, move the knife on the edges of the pan. Next time use more fat on the baking pan.

Tips for energy saving

When baking more than one cake, it is recommended to bake them one after another when the oven is still hot. This will allow to reduce the baking time for the second and subsequent cakes.

It is recommended to use dark, heat-resistant baking pans - painted or varnished black - as black pans better absorb the heat.

For long baking times, you can turn off the oven for 10 minutes before the end of baking time and use the residual heat until the end of baking.

What kind of heat-resistant cookware should you use?

Microwave function

For the microwave function, remember that microwaves are reflected by metal surfaces. Microwaves go through glass, porcelain, clay, plastic or paper.

For this reason, metal pots, pans or containers with metal parts or ornaments cannot be used in microwave ovens. Glassware and clay pans with metal ornaments or content (e.g. lead glass) cannot be used in microwave ovens.

An ideal material for use in a microwave oven is glass, porcelain, clay or heat-resistant plastic. Thin and fragile glass or porcelain should be used for short time only. (e.g. warming up).

Hot food transmits heat to containers which may become very hot. Therefore, be extremely careful and use kitchen gloves!

Grill and hot air function

For grill function, heat-resistant pans should be resistant to a temperature of at least 300^ .

Plastic pans are not suitable for use with grill function.

Microwave + grill function

For the microwave + grill function, pans must be suitable for use with both functions - microwave and grill.

Aluminium foil and containers

Ready-to-eat food in aluminium containers or aluminium foil may be put into the microwave oven only when the following rules are respected:

- Follow the manufacturers' recommendations on each packaging.

- Aluminium containers cannot be higher than 3 cm or come into contact with the oven walls (minimum distance of 3 cm). Each aluminium lid must be removed.

- Place the aluminium container directly on the turntable. If you use an iron rack, put the container on a porcelain plate. Never place the container directly on an iron rack!

- The cooking time is longer, as microwaves pass through the food only from the top. In case of any doubts, it is best to use pans suitable for use in microwave ovens.

- Aluminium foil may be used to reflect microwaves during the defrosting process. Delicate food, for example poultry, minced meat, may be protected from overheating by covering each edge.

- Important: aluminium foil cannot come into contact with the walls of the oven as this may cause short circuit.

Lids

We recommend to use glass or plastic lids or foil because:

  1. This may prevent excessive evaporation (mainly during very long cooking time);

  2. Cooking times are shorter;

  3. Food does not dry out;

  4. The taste is retained.

The lid should have holes to prevent pressure build up. Plastic bags should also be open. Baby bottles or jars with baby food, as well as similar containers can be heated without lids/caps, otherwise they may explode.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Microwave oven interferes with the TV receptionTelevision and radio reception may be disrupted when the microwave oven is operating. The same applies to small household appliances such as a blender, vacuum cleaner and electric fan. This is normal.
Dimmed oven lighting.When cooking with low microwave power, oven light may be dimmer. This is normal.
Condensation forms on the door, hot air comes out through vents.When cooking, steam can be released from food. Most of the steam escapes through the vents.However some steam can collect in the form of condensation on cooler parts, such as oven door. This is normal.

Fault Possible cause How to correct

Oven does not start.Power cord unplugged or not plugged properly into the socketPull the plug and put it back in after 10 seconds.
Blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker.Replace the fuse or turn on the circuit breaker (any repairs by producers service only)
Problem with the power outletCheck the outlet by plugging in other appliance.
The oven does not heat. The door is not closed properly. Close the door fully.
Turntable makes noise when oven operatesRotating ring or bottom of the oven dirty.See "Microwave oven maintenance"

CLEANING

Before cleaning, make sure the oven is disconnected from the power source.

a) After use, clean the inside of the microwave oven with a damp cloth.
b) Clean the accessories in the normal way in soapy water.
c) Dirty door frame, seal and adjacent elements should be cleaned gently with a damp cloth. When cleaning the surface of the oven door, use only mild soap or detergent applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

When cleaning glass door, do not use any abrasive cleaners or sharp metal washers, as this may cause scratches on the surface and damage the glass.

In order to clean the inner cavity: put half a lemon in a bowl, add 300 ml of water and turn on the microwave oven at 100% power for 10 minutes.

After cleaning, disconnect the microwave oven from the power and wipe the inside with a soft, dry cloth.
