Cooking tips

The final cooking result may depend on many factors:

• Food arrangement
  Place thicker areas towards the outside of the dish, and the thinner part towards the center,r and spread it evenly. Do not overlap if possible.

• Cooking time
  Start cooking with a short time setting, evaluate after time up, and extend time according to the actual need. Overcooking may result in smoke and burns.

• Cooking food evenly
  Food such as chicken, hamburger, or steak should be turned over during cooking. Depending on the type of food, if applicable, stir from outside to the center of the dish once or twice during cooking.

• Allow standing time
  After cooking times out, leave the food in the oven for an adequate length of time, this allows the food to complete its cooking cycle and cool down gradually.

• Whether the food is done
  Color and hardness of food help to determine if it is done, like

  • Steam coming out from all parts of food, not just the edge
  • Joints of poultry can be moved easily
  • Pork or poultry shows no signs of blood
  • Fish is opaque and can be sliced easily with a fork

Browning dish
When using a browning dish or self-heating container, always place a heat- resistant insulator such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent damage to the turntable.

Microwave-safe plastic wrap
When cooking food with high-fat content, do not allow the plastic wrap to come into contact with the food as it may melt.

Microwave-safe plastic cookware
Some microwave-safe plastic cookware might not be suitable for cooking foods with high fat and sugar content. Also, the preheating time specified in the dish instruction manual must not be exceeded.

Cleaning, Care & Maintenance

• Switch off and disconnect from the power supply before cleaning and maintenance.
• Always keep the oven clean!
• Clean the door frame, seal, and neighboring parts carefully with a damp cloth when dirty.
• Never use hard detergent, gasoline, abrasive powder, or metal brush to clean any part of the appliance.

Cleaning door and oven front face

• For best performance and to maintain a high degree of safety, the inner door panel and oven front face should be free of food or grease build-up.
• Wipe these parts with a mild detergent, rinse, and wipe dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads.

Cleaning control panel and plastic parts

• Use a dry cloth (not a soaked cloth) to clean these parts.
• Do not allow the control panel to become wet.
• Do not apply a detergent or an alkaline liquid spray to the control panel and plastic parts, as this may cause damage to these parts.

Cleaning the oven interior

• After use be sure to remove spilled liquids, spattered oil, and food debris as quickly as possible.
• If the oven is used when dirty, efficiency drops, and the dirt gets stuck on the oven surface. This may cause bad odors.
• Clean the interior with a cloth soaked in lukewarm water with a mild detergent dissolved in it, then rinse the soap off with a damp cloth.

You can remove any odors in the oven interior by microwaving a cup of water with the juice of 1 lemon for 2-3 minutes. Wipe the oven clean with a soft dry cloth.
