It may be necessary to wipe the excess water in the cavity after Steam Microwave cooking. Bottom Feeding Technology Please note that this product uses bottom feeding technology for microwave distribution which differs from traditional turntable side feeding methods and creates more useable space for a variety of different sized dishes. This microwave feeding style can give a difference in heating times (in microwave mode) when compared against side feeding appliances. This is quite normal and should not cause any concern. Please refer to the reheating and cooking charts in the cook book. Drip Tray: After each steam operation carefully remove the drip tray from the front of the oven. Gently ease forwards, holding with both hands. After emptying, wash in warm soapy water or alternatively use a dishwasher. To re-position, click back into position on the oven legs. CAUTION: When removing the food or cooking accessories, hot water may drip from the oven top. RISK OF SCALDING: Use heat resistant oven gloves. 22 Grilling The Grill Pad provides 3 Grill settings.
