Leave to stand for a ten minutes as you will not be able to eat that food immediately because it will be too hot. · This will ensure that any possible bacteria present in food will have been killed. · To heat pre-cooked or frozen foods, follow these rules: - remove the food from any metal containers; - cover it with plastic wrap (the clear-film type suitable for microwave ovens) or wax paper; in this way, all the food's natural flavour will be preserved and the oven will stay cleaner; you may also cover the food with an up turned plate; - if possible, stir or turn the food over frequently so as to speed up the heating process and to keep the heat uniform; - follow the cooking times listed with caution; remember that under certain conditions the timings given must be lengthened · Frozen foods must be defrosted before the heating process begins. The lower the food's initial temperature, the longer the time needed for heating. · Foodstuffs and drinks may be heated briefly in paper or plastic containers. In any event, however, such containers may become misshapen if the heating time is too long. ELECTRICAL A) CONNECTION (U. K. ONLY) If your appliance comes fitted with a plug, it will incorporate a 13 Amp fuse. If it does not fit your socket, the plug should be cut off from the mains lead, and an appropriate plug fitted, as below. WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug after removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket elsewhere in the house as this could cause a shock hazard. With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit must be protected by a 15 Amp fuse. WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED IMPORTANT The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green and yellow: Earth Blue: Neutral Brown: Live B) If the plug is a moulded-on type, the fuse cover must be refitted when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta approved fuse to BS 1362. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must NOT be used until a replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your nearest electrical dealer. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that as marked on the base of the plug. If your appliance is not fitted with a plug, please follow the instructions provided below: As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The green and yellow wire must be connected to the terminal in the plug marked with the letter E or the earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow. The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured black. The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured red. 26 GB 13-05-2002 13:46 Pagina 27 Heating times Type SOFTENING FOOD · Chocolate/icing · Butter Quantity 100 gr 50 -70 gr power level times (minuts) Notes Put on a plate. 5-6 0. 7-0. 12 CHILLED FOOD (INITIAL TEMP. 5/8°C) UP TO 20/30°C · Yoghurt · Baby's bottle 125 gr 240 gr " " 0. 12-0. 17 Remove metal foil.
