After connecting

Prior to connecting

GENERAL

THERE ARE a number of accessories available on

the market. Before you buy, ensure that they are

suitable for microwave use.

BEFORE COOKING, ENSURE THAT THE UTENSILS YOU USE

are ovenproof and allow microwaves to pass

through them.

WHEN YOU PUT FOOD AND ACCESSORIES in the

microwave oven, ensure that they do not come in

contact with the interior of the oven. This is

especially important with accessories made of

metal or containing metal parts.

IF ACCESSORIES CONTAINING METAL come into contact

with the oven interior while the oven is in

operation, sparking can occur and the oven could

become damaged.

ALWAYS ENSURE that the turntable is able to turn

freely before starting the oven.

TURNTABLE SUPPORT

USE THE TURNTABLE SUPPORT

under the glass turntable.

Never put any other utensils

on the turntable support.

Fit the turntable support in

the oven.

GLASS TURNTABLE

USE THE GLASS TURNTABLE with

all cooking methods. It

collects the dripping juices

and food particles that

otherwise would stain and

soil the interior of the oven.

Place the glass turntable on the turntable

support.

COVER

THE COVER is used to cover

food during cooking and

reheating with microwaves

only, and helps to reduce

spattering, retain food

moisture as well as reduce

the time needed.

USE the cover for two-level

reheating.

THIS AUTOMATIC SAFETY FUNCTION IS ACTIVATED ONE

MINUTE AFTER the oven has returned to "standby

mode". (The oven is in "standby" when the 24-

hour clock is displayed or if the clock has not

been set, when the display is blank).

THE DOOR MUST BE OPENED AND

CLOSED e.g. when putting food

into the appliance, before the

safety lock is released.

Otherwise, the display will read "DOOR".

"DONENESS" IS AVAILABLE in most of the auto

functions. You have the option to personally

control the end result using the "Adjust doneness"

feature. This feature enables you to achieve a

higher or lower end temperature compared

to the default standard setting.

WHEN USING one of these functions the oven

chooses the default standard setting. This setting

normally gives you the best result. However, if the

food you heated became too warm to eat at once,

you can easily adjust it before you use this

function the next time.

NOTE:

THE DONENESS can only be set or altered during the

first 20 seconds of operation.

experience, you will learn the times needed for

various amounts.

FROZEN FOOD IN PLASTIC BAGS,cling film or

cardboard packages can be placed directly into

the oven as long as the package has no metal

parts (e.g. metal twist ties).

THE SHAPE OF THE PACKAGE alters the defrosting

time. Shallow packets defrost more quickly than a

deep block.

SEPARATE PIECES as they begin to defrost. Individual

slices defrost more easily.

SHIELD AREAS OF FOOD with small pieces of

aluminium foil if they start to become warm (e.g.

chicken legs and wing tips).

TURN LARGE JOINTS halfway through the defrosting

process.

BOILED FOOD, STEWS AND MEAT SAUCES defrost better

if stirred during defrosting time.

WHEN DEFROSTING, it is better to underthaw the

food slightly and allow the process to finish

during standing time.

STANDING TIME AFTER DEFROSTING ALWAYS IMPROVES the

result since the temperature will then be evenly

distributed throughout the food.

CLEANING IS THE ONLY MAINTENANCE normally

required.

FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE OVEN in a clean condition

could lead to deterioration of the surface, which

can adversely affect the service life of the

appliance and possibly result in a hazardous

situation.

DO NOT USE METAL SCOURING PADS, ABRASIVE

CLEANERS,steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths

etc., which can damage the control panel and

the interior and exterior oven surface.

Use a sponge with a mild detergent or apply

spray glass cleaner to a paper towel.

DO NOT SPRAY directly onto the oven.

AT REGULAR INTERVALS,especially if spills have

occurred, remove the turntable, the turntable

support and wipe the base of the oven clean.

THIS OVEN IS DESIGNED to operate with the turntable

in place.

DO NOT operate the microwave oven when

the turntable has been removed for

cleaning.

USE A MILD DETERGENT,water and a soft cloth to

clean the interior surfaces, front and rear of the

door and the door opening.

DO NOT ALLOW GREASE or food particles to

build up around the door.

FOR STUBBORN STAINS,boil a cup of water in the

oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the

stains.

DO NOT USE STEAM-CLEANING APPLIANCES when

cleaning your microwave oven.

ADDING SOME LEMON JUICE to a cup of water, placing

this on the turntable and boiling for a few

minutes can eliminate odours inside the oven.

THE GRILL ELEMENT does not need cleaning since

the intense heat will burn off any splashes, but

the cavity ceiling below may need regular

cleaning. This should be done using warm water,

detergent and a sponge. If the grill is not used

regularly, it should be run for 10 minutes a month

How to read the cooking table

The table indicates the best functions to use for any given type of food. Cooking times, where indicated,

start from the moment when food is placed in the microwave oven cavity, excluding pre-heating (where

required).

Cooking settings and times are purely for guidance and will depend on the amount of food and type of

accessory used. Always cook food for the minimum cooking time given and check that is it cooked

through.

To obtain the best results, carefully follow the advice given in the cooking table regarding the choice of

accessories to be used (if supplied).

Cling film and bags

Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing the bag in the microwave oven cavity.

Cling film should be pierced or pricked with a fork to relieve the pressure and to prevent bursting, as

steam builds up during cooking.

Liquids

Liquids may overheat beyond boiling point without visibly bubbling. This could cause hot liquids to

suddenly boil over.

To prevent this possibility:

1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

2. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the microwave oven cavity, and leave the teaspoon in

the container.

3. After heating, stir again before carefully removing the container from the microwave oven.

Cooking food

Since microwaves penetrate the food to a limited depth, if there are a number of pieces to cook at once,

arrange the pieces in a circle so that there are more pieces on the outside.

Small pieces cook more quickly than large pieces.

Cut food into pieces of equal size for uniform cooking.

Moisture evaporates during microwave cooking.

A microwave-proof cover on the container helps reduce moisture loss.

Most foods will continue to cook after the microwave cooking time has finished. Therefore, always allow

for standing time to complete the cooking.

Stirring is usually necessary during microwave cooking. When stirring, bring the cooked portions on the

outside edges towards the centre and the less-cooked centre portions towards the outside.

Place thin slices of meat on top of each other or interlace them. Thicker slices (e.g. meat loaf) and

sausages must be placed close to each other.

Baby food

After heating baby food or liquids in a baby bottle or in a baby food jar, always stir and check the

temperature before serving.

This will ensure that the heat is evenly distributed and avoid the risk of scalding or burns.

Ensure that the lid and the teat are removed before heating.

Frozen food

For best results, we recommend defrosting directly on the glass turntable. If needed, it is possible to

use a light, plastic container that is suitable for microwaving.

Boiled food, stews and meat sauces defrost better if stirred during the defrosting time.

Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Individual slices defrost more easily.
