• Fat-rich foods, such as butter, cheese and cream should not be completely defrosted by this method as they will
melt and spoil. After partial defrosting, if they are then kept at room temperature for a few minutes they will then
be ready for serving.
• When defrosting poultry, place the poultry on an upturned plate within a glass dish so that the meat juices can run
off more easily. Always discard this defrost liquid and under no circumstances allow it to come into contact with
other foods (danger of salmonella poisoning). Wash the plate and glass dish, your hands, and the sink.
• Remove frozen food from its packaging. Especially remember to remove metal wire twist tags. Foods in plastic
trays may go straight into the microwave. Foods in metal trays should be transferred into microwave-safe
containers.
• Do not forget that by using the defrosting function you need to allow for standing time until the food is completely
defrosted.
• In defrost process, please turn food over when microwave oven beeps and displays "turn". Please refer to the
following table for different defrosting times for various foods:
For better grilling, use the rack supplied. Insert the rack on the turntable so that it doesn’t come into contact with the metal surfaces
of the oven cavity, otherwise electrical arcing which may occur which may damage the oven.
IMPORTANT POINTS:
• There will be some smoke and smell when the grill is used for the first time. That is because of oil left from the
manufacturing process.
• The glass of the oven door becomes very hot when the oven is working. Keep children away.
• When the grill is used for an extended period of time, it is normal to find that the element will switch itself off and
on periodically to maintain the required temperature and to prevent over-heating.
• Important: When food is to be grilled or cooked in containers you should check that the container is suitable to
cope with the heat from the grill and for microwave use in combination mode. See the section on types of
ovenware!
• When the grill is used it is possible that some splashes of fat may go onto the element and be burnt off. This is a
normal situation and does not mean there is any kind of operational fault.
• After you have finished cooking, and the oven has cooled down, clean the interior and the accessories so that food
debris does not become baked on when the oven is next used.
