A variety of cookware can be used as listed below. Cookware Microwave Safe Grill ✔/✘ ✔ ✔ ✔/✘ Small pieces of aluminium foil can be used to shield food from overheating.
CARE AND CLEANING 4. H e a t u p yo u r ove n re g u l a r l y by u s i n g t h e convection and grill. Remaining food or fat splashed can cause smoke or bad smell. 5.

The door does not form an airtight seal so air may escape from the door. Condensation forms The oven cavity will normally be colder than the food being cooked, and so steam in the oven, and may produced when cooking will condense on the colder surface. The amount of steam drip from the door. produced depends on the water content of the food being cooked.
