from the oven, allow it to stand for a few minutes and stir to distribute the heat evenly.
¾ Food containing a mixture of fat and water (for example, stock) should stand for 30 to
60 seconds in the oven after it has been turned off. This is to allow the mixture to
settle and to prevent it from bubbling when a spoon is placed in it, or a stock cube is
added.

¾ Do not cook food directly on the glass tray. Put food on a suitable plate or in a bowl
before putting it in the oven.
¾ Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times. Wipe the oven interior with a soft damp
cloth after each use. If you leave grease or fat anywhere in the cavity it may overheat,
smoke or even catch fire when next using the oven.
