Warning and Safety instructions
Never add water to food on a hot baking tray or grill pan 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 heat A/Bottom heat B. Do not place a dish, tin, baking tray or grill pan on the floor of the oven.
If using a grill pan made by a different manufacturer make sure that there is a gap of at least 6 cm between the bottom of the pan 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 overheated.
Do not use the oven 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 C for a minimum of 10 minutes. When cooking or reheating foods e.g. poultry it is particulary 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, and by observing a sufficiently long standing time which should be added to the time needed for cooking, reheating or defrosting.
