Tips for the oven
# Do not line oven with aluminium foil as this
may cause heat to build up in such a way
that it alters baking and roasting results.
It can also damage the enamelling.
• You can keep your oven clean if you use
tall vessels or those provided with a lid.
• For built-in appliances:
To avoid soiling of furniture lying above the
appliance, the enclosed grill screen can be
attached.
A further possibility of avoiding soiling of
the furniture:
Let the fan continue in operation for another
10 minutes, if hot dishes remain in the
appliance to finish cooking. Set the
temperature selector to 50 for this.
Howto use the oven
The following briefly explains the many
possibilities of the oven.
You will find detailed recipes and tips in
our cookery book.
This is a completely new way of cooking:
The microwave generates heat in the food which
is being cooked. This means that the cooking
process is quick, gentle and saves energy.
What utensils are suitable for
microwave applications?
• Cooking containers must allow the
microwaves to pass through them.
Containers made of glass, porcelain,
earthernware and clay as well as heatproof
plastic are suitable. Do not use metal
containers.
• Metal deflects microwaves. Therefore, food
in closed metal containers cannot become
warm. However, it is possible to heat a
ready-to-serve meal in its open aluminium
foil dish on the glass oven tray.
• Please ensure that metal objects do not
come into contact with the oven walls as
this may cause arcing.
• Many vessels are not suitable for
microwave cooking. If you want to test
your vessel, place it empty for around
20 seconds in the appliance at the highest
setting. If the vessel remains cold or
becomes only lukewarm, it is suitable; if it
becomes very hot. however, or sparks
develop, it is unsuitable.
• Do not use dishes with gold or silver
decorations, as these can be damaged by
microwaves.
• Heated foods transmit heat to the vessel. I
can therefore become very hot. Always us^
pot holders for this reason.
• In many cases, serving dishes can be usee
for cooking in a microwave. This saves
washing up.
Safety instructions
• Before heating up liquids, always put a
coffee spoon into the vessell
This will avoid the “twiling delay”.
Boiling delay develops, when the tx>iling
temperature has been reached, but the
typical vapour bubbles do not yet rise.
When the vessel is removed, the liquid ca
boil over violently due to shaking or even
spatter.
