[. . . ] GB Dear Customer, Congratulations on acquiring your new microwave oven, which from now on will make your kitchen chores considerably easier. You will be pleasantly surprised by the kinds of things you can do with your combined microwave oven. Not only can you use it for rapid defrosting or heating up of food, you can also prepare whole meals. The combination of microwave, hot air convection and grill means that food can cook and brown at the same time, and much faster, than by using the conventional method. [. . . ] After cooking, and opening the door, “NOW COOLING” may appear on the display. Also, when you press the STOP key and open the door during cooking, the cooling fan will run; you may, therefore, feel air blowing from the ventilation openings. Microwaves are generated by a magnetron inside the microwave oven and cause the water molecules in food to vibrate. This causes friction, which in turn generates heat, which then thaws, heats or cooks your food. The secret of the shorter cooking time is that microwaves enter your food from all sides. In comparison with a stove, the energy used on a burner reaches the food only through the hot plate and the cooking pot. Microwaves cannot penetrate material made of metal because metal reflects microwaves. Therefore, objects made of metal are not usually suitable for use in a microwave. There are some exceptions to this rule, where you may use this exact attribute. You might cover certain areas of some foods with aluminum foil during thawing or cooking. This way you can avoid areas that are too warm or too hot or overcooked. This is why WHAT YOUR NEW COMBI-MICROWAVE OVEN CAN DO MICROWAVE OPERATION By using microwaves in your new combi-microwave oven, you can quickly heat individual servings or drinks, or melt butter or chocolate in a very short time. In many cases it is beneficial to combine microwaves with hot air or the grill. Compared to conventional roasting, the cooking time is usually much shorter. This sealing process ensures that your foods will stay tasty and cook faster than regular stoves with top and bottom heating elements. GRILL OPERATION Your new microwave oven is equipped with a quartz grill located on the ceiling of the cooking chamber. Just like any conventional grill, it can be used without the microwaves. COMBI OPERATION (MICROWAVE WITH HOT AIR OR GRILL) By joining two different modes of operation, the benefits of your microwave oven will improve functionality. You may choose between • Microwave + Hot air (ideal for roasts, poultry, casseroles, pizza, bread and cakes) and • Microwave + Grill (ideal for quick-fried, roasts, poultry, chicken drum sticks, shish kabobs, cheese toast and “au gratin”). By using the combi operation you can cook and brown foods simultaneously. One benefit is that the hot air or the heat of the grill element will quickly seal the pores of the food's outer surface. The food will stay moist on the inside and be crunchy brown on the outside. [. . . ] 200 ml milk with the cinnamon stick, lemon peel and sugar into a bowl, cover and heat.
