Miele H4200 - Manual (Page 14)

Never add water to food on a hot
universal tray or 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.
Never line the floor of the oven with
aluminium foil when using
Conventional top and bottom heat A /
Gentle bake ö or Rapid heat-up Ä, or
place a dish, tin, or universal tray on the
floor of the oven.
If using a grill pan or baking tray made
by a different manufacturer, make sure
that there is a gap of at least 6 cm
between the bottom of the pan or tray
and the floor of the oven.
If these instructions are not observed
the bottom heat will be blocked. This
can cause permanent damage to the
floor of the oven.
Protective aluminium foil panels are
available in retail outlets which are
supposed to protect the oven cavity
from soiling and reduce the need for
cleaning. If used, cooking and baking
times will increase considerably.
They can also cause damage to the
appliance (e.g. by blocking the heat).
General notes
Never leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with oil
or fats, as these are a fire hazard if
allowed to overheat.
Do not use the appliance to heat
up the room. Due to the high
temperatures radiated, objects left near
the oven could catch fire.
Always ensure that food is
sufficiently cooked or reheated.
Many factors will affect the overall
cooking time, including the size and
amount of food, its temperature,
changes to the recipe and the shape
and size of cooking container. 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.
