12. Standing time.
Standing time refers to the period at the end of cooking or reheating when food is left before
being eaten, i.e. it is a rest time which allows the heat in the food to continue to conduct to
the centre, thus eliminating cold spots. See page 13.

Keeping your oven clean.
It is essential for the safe operation of the oven that it is wiped out regularly. Use warm
soapy water, squeeze the cloth out well and use to remove any grease or food from the
interior. Pay particular attention to the door seal area and also the areas around the
microwave feed guide situated on the right hand side of the cavity wall. The oven should be
unplugged when cleaning.
14.
Grilling.
The oven will only operate on the GRILL function with the door closed.
15.
Fan motor operation.
After using the microwave oven, the fan motor may operate to cool the electric components.
This is normal and you can take out food even though the fan motor operates. You can
continue using the oven during this time.
16.
Containers.
Before use check that utensils/containers are suitable for use in microwave ovens. See page
18.
17.
Babies bottles and food jars.
When reheating babies bottles always remove top and teat. Liquid at the top of the bottle will
be much hotter than that at the bottom and must be shaken thoroughly before checking the
temperature. The lid must also be removed from babies food jars, the contents must also be
stirred or shaken before the temperature is checked. This should be carried out before
consumption in order to avoid burns.
18.
Arcing
Arcing may occur if a metal container has been used incorrectly, if the incorrect weight of
food is used, or if the accessories have been damaged. Arcing is when blue flashes of light
are seen in the microwave oven. If this occurs, stop the machine immediately. If the oven is
left unattended and this continues it can damage the machine.
You can continue to cook by GRILL OR CONVECTION ONLY.
