13. 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 12. Standing time is
particularly important for certain foods such
as whole chicken. We recommend a standing
time of 10 mins upon completion of cooking a
whole chicken.
14. 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.
15. Grilling.
The oven will only operate on the GRILL
function with the door closed.
16. 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.
17. Utensils.
Before use check that utensils/ containers are
suitable for use in microwave ovens. See
pages 14 and 15.
18. 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 to
avoid burns. See page 50.
19. 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.
20. Maximum Weight on turntable.
The maximum weight that can be placed on
the turntable is 5 Kg (11lb) this includes total
weight of food and dish.
