Cooking Safety

Be careful when using alcoholic drinks in your dishes. Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures and may cause fire since it can ignite when it comes into contact with hot surfaces.

Food residues in the cooking area., such as oil, can ignite. Clean these residues before cooking.
Food Poisoning Hazard: Do not let food sit in oven for more than 1 hour before or after cooking. Otherwise it may cause food poisoning or diseases.
Do not heat closed tins and glass jars in the oven. The pressure that would build-up in the tin/jar may cause it to burst.
Do not place baking trays, dishes or aluminium foil directly onto the bottom of the oven. The accumulated heat might damage the bottom of the oven.

Be mindful of the following precautions when using greasy parchment paper or similar materials:

Place the greaseproof paper in a cookware or on the oven accessory (tray, wire grill, etc.) with food and place it in the preheated oven.
To prevent the risk of touching the oven heating elements and obstructing the flow of hot air, remove any excess parts of greaseproof paper that hang from accessories or containers. Do not use greaseproof paper at oven temperatures higher than the maximum usage temperature specified by the manufacturer. Never place greaseproof paper on the oven base.
Do not place it on top of accessories during preheating.
Always press down with a plate or similar object to prevent the material from flying around due to the air circulation inside the oven.
Only cover the necessary surface inside the tray.
After each use, the tray should be cleaned, and any greaseproof paper or similar materials used in the tray should be replaced. Otherwise, liquids dripping onto the tray can cause smoking or even ignite flames.
An air flow is generated when the product lid is opened. Greaseproof paper can come into contact with heating elements and ignite.
When using a grilling rack for frying, a tray should be placed on the lower rack. Otherwise, the food oil and other components that drip onto the oven bottom can create heavy smoke and lead to flames.

Food not suitable for grilling carries a fire hazard. Grill only food that is suitable for heavy grill fire. Do not place the food too far in the back of the grill. This is the hottest area and fatty foods may catch fire.
