TIPS FOR FOOD PREPARATION

When preparing food in the appliance, the following basic rules apply: Cooking time

• Smaller quantities of food cook more rapidly than large quantities. If the amount of food is doubled, the preparation time must be more than doubled correspondingly.

• Small pieces of meat, small sh and chopped vegetables cook more quickly than large pieces. For the same reason, it is recommended, if, for example, you wish to make goulash, stews or similar, that the meat be cut into pieces no bigger than 2 x 2 cm.

• The compactness of the food is also very important for the cooking time. The more compact the food is, the longer it takes to cook.

• Whole joints require a longer cooking time than stewed dishes.

• A joint requires a longer time than a dish using minced meat.

• The colder the food, the longer the cooking time needs to be. Food at room temperature will therefore cook faster than food from a fridge or freezer.

• When cooking vegetables, the cooking time depends on the freshness of the vegetables. Therefore, check the condition of the vegetables and add or deduct a little time accordingly.

• The short cooking time when using an appliance means that the food does not overcook. If required, a little water can be added.

• When cooking sh and vegetables, you only need to use the minimum of water. Microwave power The choice of power setting depends on the condition of the food to be cooked. In most cases, the food is cooked on full power.

• Full power is used, among other things, for reheating food quickly, boiling water or similar.

• Low power is principally used to defrost food and prepare dishes containing cheese, milk or egg. (Whole eggs in their shell cannot be cooked in the appliance, as there is a risk of the eggs exploding.) In addition, lower power settings are also used to nish o󰀨 and to retain the excellent aroma of a dish. General information on cooking

• If the whole meal is to be prepared in the appliance, it is recommended that you start with the most compact foods, such as potatoes. Once these are ready, cover them while the rest of the food is prepared.

• Most food should be covered. A close-tting cover retains the steam and moisture, which shortens the cooking time in the appliance. This is particularly the case when cooking vegetables, sh dishes and casseroles.

• Covering food also distributes the heat better, thus ensuring rapid and excellent results.

• In order to achieve the best possible results, it is important to position the food correctly, as the microwave rays are most powerful in the centre of the appliance. If, for example, you are baking potatoes, you should position them along the edge of the glass turntable so that they cook evenly.

• In order to cook compact dishes such as meat and poultry evenly, it is important to turn the meat a few times.

• You can use the appliance for baking, although not recipes that include yeast.

• When preparing food with a thick skin, e.g. potatoes, apples, whole squash or chestnuts, you should prick holes in the skin to prevent the food from bursting during cooking.

• When preparing food in a “traditional” oven, you normally avoid opening the oven door as much as possible. This is not the case with this appliance: no energy or signicant heat is lost. In other words, you can open the oven door and look at the food as often as you want.

• Before starting to prepare food in containers, you should check that the containers you wish to use are made of a suitable material, as some types of plastic may become limp and deform, while some types of ceramics may crack (particularly when heating small quantities of food).

• In order to test if a container is suitable for use in a microwave oven:

• Place the container in the appliance.

• At the same time, place a half-full glass of water in the container.

• Start the appliance. Allow it to run for 15-30 seconds on maximum power.

• If the container becomes very hot to the touch, avoid using it.31

Suitable utensils and materials When you prepare food in the appliance, you should preferably use the following utensils and materials: Glass and glass bowls Stoneware (glazed and unglazed). The food stays hot longer in glazed stoneware than in other dishes. Plastic containers. Can be used for many heating purposes. Caution! Plastic containers made from melamine, polyethylene and phenol must NOT be used. Porcelain. All porcelain can be used in microwave ovens, although ovenproof porcelain is preferable. Fireproof covered dishes. Glass dishes with lids that t so closely that steam cannot escape are ideal for vegetables and fruit to which no liquid is added (however, the cooking time must not exceed 5 minutes). Browning dishes. You must be very careful when using this type of dish. Never heat the browning dish for more than 5 minutes on the turntable. Suitable insulation, such as a heat- tested plate, should be placed between the browning dish and the turntable to prevent the turntable from overheating. Microwave roasting lm. Used particularly for soups, sauces, stewed dishes or when defrosting food. Can also be used as a loose covering to prevent fat, etc. from spraying out into the oven compartment. Kitchen roll. Kitchen roll is ideal, as it absorbs moisture and fat. For example, bacon can be placed in layers, with kitchen roll between each layer. The bacon will then be completely crispy, as it does not sit in its own fat. Home- baked bread can be taken directly from the freezer, packed in kitchen roll and heated in the appliance. Wet kitchen roll. Can be used for sh or vegetables. Covering the food prevents it from drying out. Greaseproof paper. Fish, large vegetables such as cauliower, corn on the cob and similar can be wrapped in wet greaseproof paper. Roasting bags. Roasting bags are ideal for meat, sh and vegetables. However, they must never be closed using metal clips. Cotton thread should be used instead. Prick the bag with small holes, and place it in the appliance on a plate or glass dish. Unsuitable utensils and materials When you prepare food in the appliance, you should not use the following utensils and materials: Sealed glass jars/bottles with small openings, as they may explode. General-purpose thermometers Silver foil/foil trays, as the microwave rays cannot penetrate the material and the food will not cook. Recycled paper, as it may contain small metal splinters that could cause sparks and/or re. Closed tins/containers with tightly sealed lids, as excess pressure may cause the tin/container to explode. Metal clips and other lids/foils, containing metal wires. These can form sparks in the appliance and must therefore be removed. Metal bowls/containers and packaging, unless they are designed specically for use in microwave ovens. The microwaves are reected and cannot penetrate the food through the metal. Plates, dishes and bowls/containers with metal, gold and silver decorations. They may break and/or cause sparks to form in the oven compartment. CLEANING When cleaning the appliance, you should pay attention to the following:

• Turn o󰀨 the appliance and remove the plug from the wall socket before cleaning.

• Never use scouring powder, steel scourers or other strong cleaning agents to clean the interior or exterior surfaces of the appliance, as they may scratch the surfaces.

• Instead use a cloth dampened with hot water, and add washing-up liquid if the appliance is very soiled.

• Make sure that no water gets into the vent holes.

• The spindle and the oor of the appliance must be cleaned regularly so that the glass turntable rotates freely.

• The glass turntable and spindle can be cleaned in a dishwasher.

• Do not remove the mica plate (5) from the inside of the oven! Tip: When the oven has been in use for some time, the oven compartment can begin to smell. If the smell is not dispersed by ordinary cleaning, place a few lemon slices in a cup and cook them in the appliance at full power for 2-3 minutes. This will e󰀨ectively disperse the smell.

BEFORE GOING TO A REPAIR CENTRE

If the appliance will not start: Check that the plug is correctly in place in the wall socket. If that is not the case, remove the plug, wait 10 seconds and then plug it in again. Check whether a fuse has blown or whether the fuse relay has been switched o󰀨. If it is not that, you can check that the socket itself is working by plugging in another device. Check that the oven door is closed properly. If this is not the case, the automatic safety system via the lock dowels (4) ensures that the appliance cannot be started. Check whether the child safety lock is activated (lock symbol appears on display). The child safety lock can be deactivated by holding the “Pause/ Cancel” button pressed down for 3 seconds. If the appliance still does not work, contact a repair technician.32

Plug wiring: This product is tted with a BS 1363 13-amp plug. If you have to replace the fuse, only those that are ASTA or BSI approved to BS1362 and with a rated current of 13 amps should be used. If there is a fuse cover tted, this cover must be retted after changing the fuse. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the plug must not be used. You must also check if the socket outlets in your home t with the plug of the appliance. If the socket outlet in your home does not t with the plug, the plug must be removed and disposed of safely as insertion of the plug into the socket is likely to cause electric hazard. A replacement plug should be wired according to following description. Important This appliance must be earthed. The wires in the cord set are coloured, thus: BLUE- Neutral, Brown-Live, Green& Yellow-earth (For detachable plug only) As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire that is coloured Green& Yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug that is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol,or coloured green & yellow. The wire that is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
