10. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
10.1 Notes and tips on cleaning
9.2 Defrosting
Always defrost roast fat side down.
Do not defrost covered meat as it may
cause cooking instead of defrosting.
Always defrost whole poultry breast side
down.
9.3 Cooking
Always remove chilled meat and poultry
from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes
before cooking.
Let the meat, poultry, fish and vegetables
stay covered after cooking.
Brush a little oil or melted butter over the
fish.
All vegetables should be cooked at the
full microwave power.
Add 30 - 45 ml of cold water for every
250 g of vegetables.
Cut fresh vegetables into even sized
pieces before cooking. Cook all
vegetables with a cover on the container.
9.4 Reheating
When you reheat packed ready meals
always follow the instruction written on
the packaging.
9.5 Grilling
Grill flat food items in the middle of the
grill rack. Turn the food over halfway
through the set time and continue
grilling.
9.6 Combi Cooking
Use Combi Cooking to keep the
crispness of certain foods. Halfway
through the cooking time turn the foods
over and then continue cooking. There
are 2 modes for Combi Cooking. Each
mode combines the microwave and the
grill functions at different time periods
and power levels.
• Clean the front of the appliance with a
soft cloth with warm water and a
cleaning agent.
• To clean metal surfaces, use a usual
cleaning agent.
• Clean the interior of the appliance
after each use to keep it in good
condition. Remove food remains
regularly. Make sure to get rid of
excess steam/humidity.
• Clean stubborn dirt with a special
cleaner.
• Clean all accessories regularly and let
them dry. Use a soft cloth with warm
water and a cleaning agent.
• To soften the remains that are hard to
remove boil a glass of water at the full
microwave power for 2 to 3 minutes.
• To remove odours, mix a glass of
water with 2 tsp of lemon juice and
boil at full microwave power for 5
minutes.
