If using alcohol in your recipes, high
temperatures can cause the alcohol to
vaporise and even to ignite on the hot
heating elements.
Alcohol should be burnt off before the
dish is placed in the oven to avoid this
danger.
~
Cover any food which is left in the
oven to be kept hot. Any moisture in the
food could lead to corrosion damage in
the oven. This also prevents the food
from drying out.
~
If you wish to complete a cooking
process using the residual heat in the
oven, leave the oven at the function
selected and select the lowest
temperature for that function. Do not
switch the appliance off until the food
has been removed. Increased moisture
in the oven could cause condensation
to form which could lead to
– corrosion inside the oven.
– damage to the control panel, worktop
and surrounding kitchen furniture.
~
Do not line the floor of the oven with
aluminium foil when using Conventional
heat, Bottom heat or Intensive bake.
This would cause a build-up of heat
which could cause damage to the floor
of the oven.
For this reason do not place a dish, tin
or baking tray directly on the oven floor.
Warning and Safety instructions
If using a tray made by a different
manufacturer, make sure that there is a
gap of at least 6 cm between the
bottom of the tray and the floor of the
oven.
~
Never pour cold water onto a hot
universal tray or add directly onto food
in a hot oven. The steam created could
cause serious burns or scalding and
the sudden change in temperature can
damage the enamel.
~
Always ensure that food is suitably
cooked or reheated.
Some foods may contain micro-
organisms which are only destroyed by
thorough cooking at temperatures over
70°C for a minimum of 10 minutes.
Therefore when cooking or reheating
foods, e.g. poultry, it is particularly
important that food is fully cooked
through. If in doubt select a longer
cooking or reheating time.
It is important that the heat is allowed to
spread evenly throughout the food
being cooked. This can be achieved
by stirring and/or turning the food
during cooking.
~
If using plastic containers for
cooking, they must be declared by the
manufacturer as being suitable for use
in an oven. Other types of plastic
containers melt at high temperatures,
and could damage the oven.
