Warning and Safety instructions
~
Try to avoid the interior walls being
splashed with food or liquids containing
salt. If it does happen, wipe these away
thoroughly to avoid corrosion on the
stainless steel surface.
~
Do not use any containers or cutlery
made from or containing metal,
aluminium foil, lead crystal glassware,
temperature-sensitive plastics, wooden
utensils or cutlery, metal clips or wire
ties. Do not use bowls with milled rims,
or plastic pots with the lid only partially
removed. Such items could be
damaged or cause a fire hazard.
The rack and gourmet plate supplied
with the appliance are designed to be
compatible with microwaves and can
therefore be used for grilling with or
without the microwave function. Do not
use the rack for microwave solo mode.
~
Do not use the rack and the gourmet
plate at the same time. This will
damage the gourmet plate.
Always place the gourmet plate directly
on the turntable.
~
Do not use the cover with the
gourmet plate, as the cover will get too
hot.
~
Do not leave the oven unattended
when reheating or cooking food in
disposable containers made of plastic,
paper or other inflammable materials.
Before using single-use plastic
containers, make sure they are suitable
for use in microwave ovens. See
appropriate section.
~
Eggs can only be cooked in their
shells in the microwave oven in a
specially designed egg-boiling device
available from specialist shops.
12
Similarly, hard-boiled eggs should not
be reheated in the microwave oven as
this may lead to the eggs bursting,
even after they have been taken out of
the oven.
~
Eggs can be cooked without their
shells using microwave heat only if the
yolk membrane has been punctured
several times first.
The pressure could otherwise cause
the egg yolk to explode.
Danger of injury.
~
Food with a thick skin or peel, such
as tomatoes, sausages, jacket potatoes
and aubergines, should be pierced or
the skin cut in several places before
cooking to allow steam to escape and
prevent the food from bursting.
~
Do not reheat food in the oven in
heat-retaining bags which are intended
for normal ovens, such as roasting
bags. These heat-retaining bags
usually contain a thin layer of aluminium
foil which reflects microwaves. This
reflected energy can, in turn, cause the
outer paper covering to become so hot
that it ignites.
~
Always ensure that food, the
gourmet plate or a browning dish has
been placed in the microwave and that
the turntable is in place before
switching on.
~
Do not use the appliance for deep
frying food, and do not leave it
unattended when cooking with oils and
fats as these can be a fire hazard if
allowed to overheat.
