Warning and Safety instructions
When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held mixer, near
the steam oven, ensure that the connection cable doesn't get caught
in the door. The insulation on the cable could become damaged,
giving rise to an electric shock hazard.
Microwave function
Please be aware that durations when using microwave power are
often considerably shorter when cooking, reheating and defrosting
than when using functions without microwave power. Excessively
long cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning or could
even cause it to catch fire.
The Microwave function can be used for heating food and
drinks. Do not use the Microwave function for drying flowers,
herbs, bread, rolls or other flammable materials which could catch
fire and cause injury by burning.
Always cover food when using the Microwave function.
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, and observing a sufficiently long standing
time, which should be added to the time needed for cooking,
reheating or defrosting.
When heating food and drinks using microwave power, remember
that the heat is created in the food itself, and that the container will
normally be cooler. The dish is only warmed by the heat of the food.
Before serving, remember to allow a sufficient standing time and
then always check the temperature of the food after taking it out of
the oven. 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 elderly or
infirm. Shake or stir baby milk and food thoroughly after heating,
and try it for temperature to ensure that it will not scald the baby.
