This document serves as a Super Start Guide for Smeg Microwave Combination Ovens, specifically models SF4390MCX, SF4120MC, and SF4920MC. It provides essential information for first-time use, cooking functions, tips for microwave cooking, and maintenance.
The Smeg Microwave Combination Oven is a versatile appliance designed for various cooking needs, including defrosting, cooking, reheating, grilling, and fan-assisted cooking. It combines the speed and efficiency of microwave technology with the browning and crisping capabilities of conventional ovens and grills.
Microwave Cooking: This mode is ideal for defrosting, cooking, and reheating a wide range of foods. Users can select microwave wattages between 200 and 1000 watts, allowing for precise control over the cooking process. For defrosting, wattages between 200-400w are recommended. Cooking and reheating meals typically use 600-900w, while reheating liquids can be done at 1000w.
Microwave Combination Modes: These modes are designed to speed up cooking times while ensuring perfect browning results. It is crucial to preheat the standard cooking function (fan or grill) before selecting a combination mode. The microwave wattage in these modes is restricted to ensure food cooks through and has the opportunity to brown. For dense dishes like potatoes, root vegetables, and meat, a higher wattage of 600 watts is suggested. More delicate fillings or fish benefit from lower wattages of 200-400 watts.
Microwave & Fan Combined: This mode is ideal for foods requiring thorough cooking and browning. It allows users to select oven temperatures ranging from 50°C to 200°C and microwave wattages from 200-600 watts. To convert recipes from oven-only to microwave and fan combined, users can keep the same oven temperature and halve the cooking time. Only one cooking level should be used in this mode.
Microwave & Grill Combined: This mode is perfect for speeding up the grilling of thicker cuts of meat and dishes that need to be cooked through and browned on top, such as macaroni cheese or potato-topped fish pie. The grill temperature is pre-set, and microwave wattages are restricted to 200-600 watts to ensure thorough cooking and crisping. Preheating the grill is always recommended for this mode.
Circulaire (Fan) Function: This function uses a fan to circulate hot air, allowing for cooking on multiple levels without cross-transference of flavors. Temperatures can be set from 50°C to 200°C, making it ideal for cooking several items simultaneously.
Grill Function: This is suitable for grilling meat and browning dishes. It is recommended to use the wire rack with a solid roasting tray placed below to catch any drippings.
Hot Air & Grill Function: This mode combines the fan and grill to accelerate the browning of traditionally fan-cooked foods and cook thicker cuts of meat. Using a wire rack with a solid glass tray below is preferable to allow air circulation and collect juices.
Setting the Clock: Before initial operation, the clock must be set. The display will show a flashing '00:00'. The left-hand dial is used to set the time, and depressing it confirms the setting. To adjust the clock later, depress and hold the right-hand dial until the display flashes, then use the left-hand dial to set the time and depress to confirm.
Preparing the Oven for Use: To remove manufacturing residues, it is important to "burn off" the oven. This involves pressing the right-hand dial to switch on the oven, which illuminates the clock. Pressing the dial again illuminates the cooking functions. Turn the dial to the right until the fan symbol illuminates. Depress the left-hand dial to confirm the pre-set temperature, which can then be amended up to 220°C. Depress to confirm, then use the right-hand dial to start the cooking process.
Automatic Microwave Functions: The appliance features automatic functions stored in its memory, eliminating the need to guess cooking times and wattages. Users can refer to the instruction booklet to enter the food type and weight.
General Cooking Tips:
Cleaning the Combination Microwave: The oven features a 'stay clean' enameled cavity, making cleaning straightforward.
Cleaning the Grill Element: The grill element can be dropped down for easier cleaning and access to the roof of the appliance. Twist the grill support bracket 180 degrees and carefully pull the grill element down to a 45-degree angle.
Reducing Cleaning Needs: To minimize the need for cleaning, place joints of meat and vegetables in a tightly sealed roasting bag.
