COOKING FOOD

CLING FILM AND BAGS

RECOMMENDED USE AND TIPS

remove wire TwisT-Ties from paper or plastic bags

before placing the bag in the microwave oven

cavity.

cling film shoulD be scoreD or pricked with a fork

to relieve the pressure and to prevent bursting

because steam builds up during cooking.

since microwaves penetrate the food to a limited

depth, if there are a number of pieces to cook at

once, arrange the pieces in a circle to create

more outside pieces.

small pieces cook more quickly than large pieces.

cuT fooD into pieces of equal size for uniform

cooking.

moisTure evaporaTes during microwave cooking.

a microwave-proof cover on the container helps

reduce moisture loss.

mosT fooDs will conTinue to cook after microwave

has nished cooking it. Therefore, always allow

for standing time to complete the cooking.

sTirring is usually necessary during microwave

cooking. When stirring, bring the cooked

portions on the outside edges towards the

centre and the less-cooked centre portions

towards the outside.

place Thin slices of meaT on top of each other or

interlace them. Thicker slices such as meat loaf

and sausages have to be placed close to each

other.

LIQUIDS

liquiDs may overheaT beyond boiling point

without visibly bubbling. This could cause hot

liquids to suddenly boil over.

To prevenT This possibiliTy:

Avoid using straight-sided containers with

narrow necks.

Stir the liquid before placing the container

in the microwave oven cavity and leave

the teaspoon in the container.

After heating, stir again before carefully

removing the container from the

microwave oven.

BABY FOOD

afTer heaTing baby fooD or liquids in a baby bottle

or in a baby food jar, always stir and check the

temperature before serving.

This will ensure that the heat is evenly

distributed and avoid the risk of scalding or

burns.

ensure that the lid and the teat are removed

before heating.

FROZEN FOOD

for besT resulTs, we recommend defrosting

directly on the glass turntable. If needed, it is

possible to use a light-plastic container that is

suitable for microwave.

boileD fooD, stews and meat sauces defrost

better if stirred during the defrosting time.

separaTe pieces as they begin to defrost.

Individual slices defrost more easily.

HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE

The Table inDicaTes The besT funcTions to use for any

given food. Cooking times, where indicated,

start from the moment when food is placed in

the microwave oven cavity, excluding pre-

heating (where required).

cooking seTTings anD Times are purely for

guidance and will depend on the amount of

food and type of accessory used. Always cook

food for the minimum cooking time given and

check that is it cooked through.

To obTain The besT resulTs, carefully follow the

advice given in the cooking table regarding the

choice of accessories (if supplied) to be used (if

present).

leT The oven cool off before cleaning. The water

in the bottom recess is hot after cooking.

keep The Door seal surfaces clean. The oven door

must shut properly.

wipe off any resiDual conDensaTion that may be

present in the cooled oven after cooking. Don’t

forget the cavity ceiling which is easily

overlooked. Some foods require a completely

dry oven for best result.

CAREFUL

fooD & alcohol. Be extra careful when cooking

or reheating food that contains alcohol. If you

are adding alcohol (e.g. rum, cognac, wine etc.)

Remember that alcohol evaporates easily at

high temperatures. You should therefore bear in

mind that the vapors released can ignite when

they come in contact with the electrical heating

element. If possible you should refrain from

using alcohol in this oven.

fruiT juice Drippings may leave permanent stains.

Let the oven cool and clean before next use.

ensure only waTer is used in the water container.

(no detergents) and then ll it to the

“MAX” mark.

sliDe The waTer conTainer into it’s socket

until it engages the contact point and sits

rmly in place.

run The calibraTion funcTion and follow on

screen instructions.

noTe

The waTer pump responsible for lling and

draining the steam boiler is now

activated. It will initially sound louder

during air pumping and lower when

water is lling the pump again.

This noise is normal and no concern for

alarm.

afTer calibraTion, let the oven cool to

room temperature and then wipe dry any

damp areas if present.

empTy The waTer conTainer and dry it o

before further use.

BEFORE USE

DRIP TRAY

The Drip Tray is used to

collect the dripping

juices and food

particles that

otherwise would stain and soil the interior of

the oven. Avoid placing vessels directly on the

oven bottom.

STEAM TRAY

use The sTeam Tray for foods such as sh,

vegetables and potatoes.

use The oven wiThouT

The sTeam Tray for foods

such as rice, and grains.

WATER CONTAINER

The waTer conTainer is

locaTeD behind the door

and is accessible as soon as

the door is opened.

all cooking funcTions except

Forced Air require the water

container to be full.

fill waTer conTainer to the “MAX”

mark with tap water.

use only fresh tap water or still bottled water.

Never use distilled or ltered water nor any

other liquids in the water container.

iT is imporTanT To empTy The waTer conTainer afTer

each use. This is for hygienic reasons. It also

prevents condensate from building up inside

the appliance.

carefully (slowly not to spill) pull the water

container out of it’s compartment. Keep it

horizontal to allow remaining water to drain out

of the valve seat.

GENERAL

There are a number of accessories available on

the market. Before you buy, ensure they are

suitable for cooking with steam.

ensure ThaT There is a space of at least 30 mm

between the upper rim of the container and the

cavity ceiling to allow sucient steam entrance

to the container.

CHOOSING COOKING CONTAINER

use perforaTeD cooking containers whenever

possible, e.g. for cooking vegetables. The steam

has free access to the food from all sides and the

food is cooked evenly.

sTeam easily reaches into the space between big

pieces of food such as large potatoes. This

ensures even and eective cooking. It enables a

large quantity to nish in the same amount of

time as a smaller quantity. Placing (spacing)

food to allow the steam even and easy access to

individual pieces of food enables it to be

cooked in the same amount of time as smaller

quantities.

more compacT Dishes such as casseroles or bakes,

or food such as peas or asparagus spears, which

have very small / no space between them will

take longer to cook because the steam has less

space to work in.

SPONGE

The supplieD sponge is used for

wiping o residual

condensation that may be

present in the cooled oven

after cooking. It is important

that you allow the oven to

cool o to avoid scalding.
