ACCESSORIES

GLASS TURNTABLE
Placed on its support, the glassturntable can be used with all cooking methods.
The turntable must always be used as a base for other containers or accessories, with the exception of the rectangular baking tray.

TURNTABLE SUPPORT
Only use the support for the glass turntable. Do not rest other accessories on the support.

RECTANGULAR BAKING TRAY
Only use the baking plate with functions that allow for convection cooking; it must never be used in combination with microwaves. Insert the plate horizontally, resting it on the rack in the cooking compartment.
Please note: You do not need to remove the turntable and its support when using the rectangular baking plate.

WIRE RACK
This allows you to place food closer to the grill, for perfectly browning your dish. Place the wire shelf on the turntable.

COVER
Useful for covering food while it is cooking or heating in the microwave. The cover reduces splashes, keeps foods moist and can also be used to create two cooking levels. It is not suitable for use in convection cooking or with any of the grill functions.

The number and type of accessories may vary according to which model is purchased.
Other accessories that are not supplied can be purchased separately from the After-sales Service.
There are a number of accessories available on the market. Before you buy, ensure they are suitable for microwave use and resistant to oven temperatures.
Metallic containers for food or drink should never be used during microwave cooking.
Always ensure that foods and accessories do not come into contact with the inside walls of the oven.
Always ensure that the turntable is able to turn freely before starting the oven. Take care not to  unseat the turntable whilst inserting or removing other accessories.

USEFUL TIPS

HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE
The table indicates the best functions to use for any given food.
The cooking times refer to the cooking cycle for the food inside the oven, excluding the preheating phase(where required).
The settings and cooking times are approximate and depend on the amount of food and the type of accessory/ies used.
Always cook food for the minimum cooking time given and check that it is cooked through.
For best results, follow the recommendations in the cooking table carefully when selecting accessories.
MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS
Microwaves only penetrate food to a certain depth; you should therefore space the food out as much as possible when cooking multiple items at the same time.
Smaller items cook more quickly than larger items: To ensure uniform cooking, cut food into pieces of equal size.
Moisture evaporates during the microwave cooking process: Using a microwave- resistant cover helps to reduce moisture loss.
When you remove food from a microwave, it will often continue cooking for some time afterwards. We therefore recommend always allowing a couple of minutes of standing time once the cooking cycle has finished.
It is a good idea to stir food when cooking it in the microwave, as this brings the more well-cooked parts at the outside edges towards the middle and vice versa.
Place thin slices of meat one on top of the other or overlapping. Thicker slices, such as meat loaf and sausage, should be placed next to one another.
CLING FILM AND PACKAGING
Remove any twist ties from paper or plastic bags before placing them in the oven for microwave cooking.
Plastic film should be scored or perforated with a fork in order to relieve the pressure and prevent bursting due to the steam building up during cooking.
LIQUIDS
Liquids may overheat beyond boiling point without visibly bubbling.
This could cause hot liquids to suddenly boil over.
To prevent this possibility:

•  Avoid using containers with narrow necks.
• Stir the liquid before placing the container in the microwave oven and leave the teaspoon in the container.
• After heating, stir again before carefully removing the container from the microwave oven.

FROZEN FOOD
For best results, we recommend defrosting food directly on the glass turntable. You can also use a lightweight, microwave-safe plastic container if needed.
Boiled foods, stews and meat-based sauces will defrost better if stirred occasionally while defrosting.
Separate food once it starts to defrost: the separated portions will defrost more quickly.
FOOD FOR INFANTS
When heating food or liquids in a baby bottle or a baby food jar, always stir and check the temperature before serving.
This will ensure that the heat is evenly distributed and avoid the risk of scalding or burns.
Make sure the lid and the teat are removed before heating.
MEAT AND FISH
To obtain perfect surface browning quickly while keeping the inside of the meat or fish soft and juicy, we recommend using the “Grill + Microwave” function. For best results, set the microwave power to between 160 and 350 W.
