THE HANDLE
To fit the tray handle:
a) Catch the hooks on the top of the tray.
b) Lower the handle till the bottom catches the underside of the tray.
c) Lift the handle, and the tray comes with it.
GRILLING AND SPITTING
•
When grilling, or cooking anything that comes close to the top element, keep an eye on the
food, to avoid fat or juices spitting on the top element.
•
If you see spitting, move the food down, away from the top element.
•
You may have to extend the cooking time slightly, to make up for the extra distance
•
Spitting will make cleaning difficult.
•
Residues burned on to the top element may shorten its life.
•
Burned residues falling back into the food may affect the look of the food.
•
In sufficient quantities, they might even affect its taste.
COOKING POTS AND PANS
•
Use good quality, flat-bottomed pans that make good contact with the hotplate.
•
The base of the pan should be the same size as the hotplate or slightly wider.
a) with too small a base, you will lose heat and overheat the pan sides and handle.
b) if it’s too big, the pan may distort, the hotplate may overheat.
c) if it covers both hotplates (like a catering pan), it’ll overheat the toaster oven.
d) these may all cause damage to the toaster oven.
DISCOLOURATION
Over time, heat will cause discolouration of the surfaces. This is unavoidable, but it will not
affect the functionality of the toaster oven.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Important:
Before cleaning any part, be sure the oven is off, unplugged, and cool.
•
Wipe up all spillages on surface, to avoid discolouring the surfaces and corroding the
hotplates.
•
Clean the glass door with a sponge, soft cloth, or nylon pad and warm, soapy water. Do
not use a spray cleaner.
•
To remove the rack and tray, open the door, pull them forward and out.
•
Wash the rack by hand in soapy water. To remove stubborn spots, use a polyester or nylon
pad.
