Fit the grid iron in such a way that it doesn’t come into contact with the metal surfaces of the oven cavity since if it does there is a danger of electric arcing which may damage the oven. When the microwave grill is used for the first time there will be some smoke and a smell coming from the oils used during oven manufacture. When the grill is operating, the cavity walls and the grid iron become very hot. If the grill is used for extended period of time it is normal to find that the elements will switch themselves off temporarily due to the safety thermostat. When food is to be grilled or cooked in containers you must check that the container in question is suitable for microwave use. When the grill is used it is possible that some splashes of fat may go onto the elements and be burnt. This is a normal situation and does not mean there is any kind of operating fault. After you have finished cooking, clean the interior and the accessories so that cooking remains do not become encrusted. 17 EN Cooking with the grill Tables and suggestions – Grill without microwave Fish Fish Bass Sardines/gurnard Meat Sausages Frozen hamburgers Spare rib (approx.
