Warning and Safety instructions
Always ensure that food is suffi- ciently 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 cook- ing container. Some foods may contain micro organisms which are only de- stroyed by thorough cooking at temper- atures over 70°C for a minimum of 10 minutes. Therefore when cooking or re- heating foods, e.g. poultry, it is particu- larly 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 be- ing cooked.
This can be achieved by stirring and/or turning the food, and by observing a sufficiently long standing time, which should be added to the time needed for cooking, reheating or defrosting.
If using alcohol in your recipes high temperatures can cause the
alcohol to vaporise and under adverse circumstances the alcohol can catch light on the hot heating elements. Alco- hol should be burnt off before the dish is placed in the oven to avoid this dan- ger.
In countries which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its sur- roundings in a clean condition at all times.
Any damage which might be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.
Disposal of your old appliance
Before throwing an old appliance away it must first be made unus- able. Switch off and disconnect it from the power supply, cut off the cable di- rectly behind the appliance and render any plug useless. This should be done
by a competent person.
The manufacturer cannot be held lia- ble for damage caused by
