Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation. 1. Switch the oven off before cleaning and unplug at socket if possible. 2.
ST477SBP_ST479SBP:WP_steam_French 22/10/13 12:06 Page 11 Parts of Your Oven 1. Do not operate the oven without the Roller Ring and Glass Turntable in place. 2. Only use the Glass Turntable specifically designed for this oven. Do not substitute with any other Glass Turntable. 3. If Glass Turntable is hot, allow to cool before cleaning or placing in water. 4. Do not cook directly on Glass Turntable. Always place food in a microwave safe dish.
ST477SBP_ST479SBP:WP_steam_French 22/10/13 12:06 Page 12 Important Information – Read Carefully Safety If smoke is emitted or a fire occurs in the oven, press Stop/Cancel button and leave the door closed in order to stifle any flames. Disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at fuse or circuit breaker panel. Short Cooking Times As microwave cooking times are much shorter than other cooking methods it is essential that recommended cooking times are not exceeded without first checking the food.
ST477SBP_ST479SBP:WP_steam_French 22/10/13 12:06 Page 13 Important Information – Read Carefully 9. Meat Thermometer. Use a meat thermometer to check the degree of cooking of roasts and poultry only when meat has been removed from the microwave. If undercooked, return to the oven and cook for a few more minutes at the recommended power level. Due to the possibility of ignition, do not leave a conventional meat thermometer in the oven when microwaving. 10. Paper, Plastic.
ST477SBP_ST479SBP:WP_steam_French 22/10/13 12:06 Microwave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since early experiments with RADAR in World War II. Microwaves are present in the atmosphere all the time, both naturally and from manmade sources. Manmade sources include radar, radio, television, telecommunication links and mobile phones.
ST477SBP_ST479SBP:WP_steam_French 22/10/13 12:06 Standing time Page 15 Piercing The skin or membrane on some foods will cause steam to build up during cooking. These foods must be pierced or a strip of skin should be peeled off before cooking to allow the steam to escape. Eggs, potatoes, apples, sausages etc, will all need to be pierced before cooking. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BOIL EGGS IN THEIR SHELLS. Dense foods e.g.
ST477SBP_ST479SBP:WP_steam_French 22/10/13 12:06 Page 16 Dish size Quantity Follow the dish sizes given in the recipes, as these affect the cooking and reheating times. A quantity of food spread in a bigger dish cooks and reheats more quickly. Small quantities cook faster than large quantities, also small meals will reheat more quickly than large portions. Spacing Shape Foods cook more quickly and evenly if spaced apart. NEVER pile foods on top of each other. Even shapes cook evenly.
ST477SBP_ST479SBP:WP_steam_French 22/10/13 12:06 Page 17 Arranging Starting temperature Individual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops, should be placed on a dish so that the thicker parts are to the outside. The colder the food, the longer it takes to heat up. Food from a fridge takes longer to reheat than food at room temperature. Food temperature should be between 3-8ºC Turning and stirring Liquids Some foods require stirring during cooking.
ST477SBP_ST479SBP:WP_steam_French 22/10/13 12:06 Page 18 Containers to use Choosing the correct container is a very important factor in deciding the success or failure of your cooking. Testing Dishes for Suitability When unsure that a cooking container is suitable for use in your microwave, check by the following test: 1. Fill a microwave safe measuring jug with 300ml (½ pt) cold water. 2. Place it on the turntable alongside the dish to be tested.
ST477SBP_ST479SBP:WP_steam_French 22/10/13 12:06 Page 19 Foil/metal containers NEVER ATTEMPT TO COOK IN FOIL OR METAL containers – the microwaves cannot pass through and the food will not heat evenly – this may also damage your oven. Use wooden kebab sticks instead of metal skewers. Pottery, earthenware, stoneware If completely glazed, these dishes are suitable.
ST477SBP_ST479SBP:WP_steam_French 22/10/13 12:06 Page 20 Paper Plain white absorbent kitchen paper (kitchen towel) can be used for covering blind pastry cases and for covering bacon to prevent splattering BUT FOR SHORT COOKING TIMES ONLY. NEVER RE-USE A PIECE OF KITCHEN TOWEL. ALWAYS USE A FRESH PIECE OF PAPER FOR EACH DISH. Avoid kitchen paper containing manmade fibres. If you are using branded re-cycled kitchen towel, check first that it is recommended for microwave use.
