John Lewis JLBICO2 instruction manual Grill, Important points

5.Thick portions of food should be turned several times.

6.Distribute the frozen food as evenly as possible since narrow and thin portions defrost more quickly than the thicker and broader parts.

7.Fat-rich foods such as butter, cream cheese and cream should not be completely defrosted. If they are kept at room temperature they will be ready to be served in a few minutes. With ultra- frozen cream, if you find small pieces of ice in it, you should mix these in before serving.

8.Place poultry on an upturned plate so that the meat juices can run off more easily.

9.Bread should be wrapped in a napkin so that it does not become too dry.

10.Turn the food whenever the oven lets out a beep and the display flashes the word:

11.Remove frozen food from its wrapping and do not forget to take off any metal twist-tags. For containers that are used to keep frozen food in the freezer and which can also be used for heating and cooking, all you need to do is take off the lid. For all other cases you should put the food into containers that are suitable for microwave use.

12.The liquid resulting from defrosting, principally that from poultry, should be discarded. In no event should such liquids be allowed to come into contact with other foods.

13.Do not forget that by using the defrosting function you need to allow for standing time until the food is completely defrosted.

Grill

For good results with the grill, use the rectangular rack supplied with the oven.

Important points

1.When the microwave grill is used for the first time there will be some smoke and a smell coming from the oils used during oven manufacture.

2.The oven door window becomes very hot when the grill is working. Keep children away.

3.When the grill is operating, the cavity walls and the rectangular rack become very hot. You should use oven gloves.

4.If the grill is used for extended period of time it is normal to find that the elements will switch themselves off temporarily due to the safety thermostat.

5.Important! When food is to be grilled or cooked in containers you must check that the container in question is suitable for microwave use. See the section on types of ovenware!

6.When the grill is used it is possible that some splashes of fat may go onto the elements and be burnt. This is a normal situation and does not mean there is any kind of operating fault.

7.After you have finished cooking, clean the

interior and the accessories so that cooking remains do not become encrusted.

Heat up the grill beforehand for 2 minutes. Unless indicated otherwise, use the rectangular rack.

Place the grid on a bowl so that the water and the fat can drop. The times shown are merely indicative and can vary as a function of the composition and quantity of the food, as well as the final condition wished for. Fish and meat taste great if, before grilling, you brush them with vegetable oil, spices and herbs and leave to marinate for a few hours. Only add salt after grilling.

Sausages will not burst if you prick them with a fork before grilling.
