Allow standing time After cooking times out, leave the food in the oven for an adequate length of time, this allows it to complete its cooking cycle and cooling it down in a gradual manner. Whether the food is done Color and hardness of food help to determine if it is done, these include: + Steam coming out from all parts of food, not just the edge; & + Joints of poultry can be moved easily; & + Pork or poultry shows no signs of blood; + Fishis opaque and can be sliced easily with a fork. Browning dish When using à browning dish or self-heating container, always place a heat- resistant insulator such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent damage to the turntable and rotating ring. Microwave safe plastic wrap When cooking food with high fat content, do not allow the plastic wrap come into contact with food as it may melt.

RER + Cm Foods Forbidden foods If you choose a cooking method using microwaves, you should never: + Attempt to fry food -itis impossible to control the temperature of the oil and other fats- fire-risk. + Attempt to cook or warm up eggs in their shells, hard-boiled eggs with or without their shells or snails - they may explode. + Attempt to cook foodinanintact shell (e.g. chestnuts) or hard skin (tomatoes, potatoes, sausages) - always make a slit. Food temperatures The action of microwaves is such that only the food is heated. The container may, therefore, remain cold or cool while the food that it contains is burning hot. To avoid any risk of burning, always stir before serving and check the temperature carefully before serving - especially to children. Shake feeding bottles well and try a few drops on the back of your wrist to check & the temperature. & Preparing food for cooking Before warming feeding bottles and small pots, remove teats and covers. Remember to cover the food in order to: + avoid any splashing of the oven cavity, + retain sufficient moisture for cooking. Heating liquids When heating liquids, a sudden overflow may occur when you take the container to remove it from the appliance. In fact, when the temperature reaches boiling point, Steam tends to remain trapped in the liquid until it is disturbed. To avoid this superheating effect and the consequent risk of scalding, always place a plastic spoon in the liquid to be heated. À container can easily be tested for microwave “transparency": Place the empty container on the turntable together with a glass of water and run the oven for one minute at maximum power. E | cran 122 & amet rasaui| =

< CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before any cleaning or maintenance operation, disconnect the microwave oven from the mains supply and allow it to cool to room temperature. General Advice Frequent cleaning prevents the formation of smoke and bad odours during cooking and also sparking in the oven cavity and around the door seal. Do not let food deposits or grease accumulate inside the oven cavity or on the & door seal. & Make sure that the waveguide cover is kept clean at all times. Should food deposits or grease be allowed to accumulate on the cover, sparking will occur and may damage your oven invalidating the warranty. Oven Door Remove any food deposits and grease between the door seal and oven cavity using a damp cloth, it is important to keep this area clean at all times. Interior Walls Remove any grease splashes from the oven cavity walls with soap and water, then rinse and dry. The door seal and oven cavity have to be particularly well cleaned to ensure the door will close properly and to avoid sparking between the oven cavity and door assembly. Do not use abrasive products such as scouring pads which will damage the surfaces of the oven cavity and door.

RER + Cm Outer Surfaces To clean the outside surface, use a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive products such as scouring pads that may damage the cosmetic surfaces. Make sure water does not seep into the ventilation slots. Accessories should be washed in warm soapy water by hand. CAUTION: Some waveguide covers can be easily damaged, take care when cleaning. Do not wash accessories in a dishwasher. Cleaning surfaces that come into contact with food For hygiene safety the glass tray should be cleaned regularly as it may come into contact with food.
