Warning and Safety instructions
14
When using a small electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held blender,
near the steam oven, care should be taken that the cable of the ap-
pliance cannot get trapped by the steam oven door. The insulation
on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock
hazard.
Microwave function
Please be aware that durations when using microwave power are
often considerably shorter when cooking, reheating and defrosting
than when using functions without microwave power. Excessively
long cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning or could
even cause it to catch fire.
The Microwave function
can be used for heating food and
drinks. Do not use the Microwave function
for drying flowers,
herbs, bread, rolls or other flammable materials which could catch
fire and cause injury by burning.
Always cover food when using Microwave mode
.
It is important that the heat is allowed to spread evenly through-
out the food being cooked and that it is hot enough.
This can be achieved by stirring and/or turning the food, and ob-
serving a sufficiently long standing time, which should be added to
the time needed for cooking, reheating or defrosting.
When heating food and drinks, remember that the heat is created
in the food itself, and that the container will normally be cooler. The
dish is only warmed by the heat of the food.
Before serving, remember to allow a sufficient standing time and
then always check the temperature of the food after taking it out of
the steam oven. The temperature of the container is not an indication
of the temperature of the food or liquid in it.
This is particularly im-
portant when preparing food for babies, children, and the elderly
or infirm.
Shake or stir baby milk and food thoroughly after heating,
and try it for temperature to ensure that it will not scald the baby.
