3. Power selection switch 8. Door handle
4. Protective cover 9. Glass turntable
5. Roller ring 10. Interior light

Positioning the unit

• Always place the microwave oven on a stable and level, heat-resistant surface and ensure that it is protected from any heat source or excessive humidity.
• Do not use the appliance outdoors.
• Sufficient ventilation must be ensured at all times. Do not place any objects on the unit, and make sure that the following minimum distances from any wall or other object are maintained:

Side: 15cm

Rear: 10 ~cm

Top: 30cm

The feet on the base of the unit must not be removed.

The unit must not be installed inside a cupboard; when positioning the unit, also ensure that it is not placed directly underneath a cupboard or any other similar object.

Connection to the mains supply

The appliance should only be connected to an earthed socket installed in accordance with the regulations. Make sure that the supply voltage corresponds with the voltage marked on the rating label. This product complies with all binding CE labelling directives.

Before using for the first time

• Remove any exterior and interior packaging materials. All these materials are suitable for recycling.
• After unpacking and every time before connecting the unit to the power supply, check the unit and its power cord carefully for any signs of damage. Also ensure that the door (including the viewing window, door seals and door locks) is not damaged or bent and closes firmly against the door support. This is important to ensure that no microwave energy is emitted during operation. For the same reason, the entire casing as well as the inside of the oven must be carefully checked.

Should the unit show any signs of damage, it must not be used under any circumstances until it has been repaired by a qualified technician.

• Do not remove the protective film covering the inside of the door or the grey-brown protective cover (4) next to the light on the right of the interior.

• Insert the roller ring and the glass turntable into the unit.

Note: Do not switch the unit on unless the food to be heated or cooked has been placed inside the oven. Operating the appliance empty could result in damage to the unit.

Important notes

• When heating liquids in your microwave oven, the liquid may heat up beyond boiling-point without visible evidence of bubbling. It is therefore important to exercise extreme caution when handling any containers, e.g. when removing them from the oven.
  The risk of such over-boiling may be reduced by placing a heat-resistant glass rod in the container during the heating process.
• Eggs in their shells or whole hard-boiled eggs must not be heated up in a microwave oven, since they may explode even after the microwave heating process has finished.
• Caution: It is also highly dangerous to heat up liquids or any kind of solid food items in closed containers in the unit, since there is a real danger of explosion.
• The content of baby bottles or glass containers with baby food must be thoroughly stirred or shaken to ensure that the temperature is evenly distributed. To avoid painful and dangerous scalding, always check the temperature before feeding a child.
• When heating or cooking food contained or wrapped in combustible materials such as plastic or paper, there is a danger of those materials igniting. It is also possible that food will dry out or even ignite if the selected cooking time is excessive. Fat or oil are also inflammable substances. It is therefore important to supervise the appliance during operation. Highly inflammable liquids such as concentrated alcohol must of course not be heated up.
• Should any smoke be noticed during operation, keep the door closed to inhibit or smother any flames. Switch the unit off immediately and remove the plug from the wall socket.
• To prevent danger of burns, a suitable oven-cloth must always be used when removing food from the oven, since the utensils and cooking containers heat up with the food.
• Special food thermometers (as used in conventional baking ovens) are not suitable for use with microwave ovens.

Important safety instructions

• Caution: certain types of food may tend to catch fire. Do not leave the appliance unattended when in use.
• This microwave oven is intended for defrosting, heating and cooking of food only. No responsibility is accepted if damage results from improper use, or if these instructions are not complied with.
• This appliance is not intended for use by any person (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
  Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• Caution: The use of the microwave oven by children without supervision must not be permitted, unless specific and clear instructions have been given prior to use, allowing the child not only to operate the microwave oven in a safe manner, but also to understand the dangers resulting from improper use or non-compliance with the instructions.
  Always switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the wall socket:

• before cleaning,

• in case of any malfunction.

• Caution: The exterior surfaces of the appliance may become hot during operation. There is also a danger of steam being emitted through the ventilation slots: Danger of scalding.

• Do not allow the appliance or its power cord to touch hot surfaces or to come into contact with any heat sources. Do not let the power cord hang free and keep it away from any hot parts.
• If the unit is not kept properly clean, deterioration in the quality of its surfaces may be caused, with possible subsequent shortening of its life-cycle, as well as potential risk to the user's safety.
• This microwave oven is intended for domestic use only and not for commercial applications. (Class B in compliance with EN 55011:1998+A1+A2)
• Caution: Any maintenance or repair work requiring the removal of any microwave radiation protection cover represents a serious hazard to unqualified persons. This includes the replacement of the special power cord or an interior light bulb. The unit must not be opened, except by qualified personnel. If repairs are needed, please send the appliance to one of our customer service departments. The address can be found in the appendix to this manual.

The microwave function (Group II in compliance with EN 55011:1998+A1+A2)

Electromagnetic energy is generated inside the unit, causing the molecules in the food (mainly water molecules) to oscillate and subsequently causing the food to become hot. Food with high water content will therefore heat up faster than relatively dry food. The heat is generated gradually inside the food. Any utensils, container or plates used are heated up only indirectly as a result of the food temperature.

Always use suitable kitchen utensils

• Do not place the food directly onto the glass turntable; always use a suitable plate or cooking container. Make sure that the container does not protrude over the rim of the glass turntable.
• Metal objects are to be avoided since microwaves are reflected from metal surfaces and might not reach the food to be cooked. Any metal in the oven might also cause sparks, resulting in possible damage to the unit.
• As a general rule, cutlery or metal containers must not be used in the microwave oven. Some food wrappings contain aluminium foil or wires underneath a layer of paper and are therefore also unsuitable for use with microwave appliances.

Should the use of aluminium foil be recommend in a recipe, ensure that the food is tightly wrapped in the aluminium foil (avoiding any air blisters). Ensure a minimum distance of 2.5cm between the aluminium foil and the interior walls of the oven.

• Always make sure that the cooking container or plate used does not contain any metal decoration such as a gold rim or colour containing metal particles. Lead crystal objects are also not suitable. Always make sure that the cooking containers used are not hollow in any part (e.g. in the handles). Porous materials may have absorbed water during cleaning and are again not suitable. Cooking containers or utensils made of 'Melamine' plastic material absorb energy and are also unsuitable.

• Containers made from heat-resistant glass or porcelain, however, are well suitable for use in microwave appliances.

• Plastic is suitable only if it is heat-resistant up to 180^ C. Cooking bags etc. should be punctured to be able to release any high pressure during cooking.

• Cooking containers especially designed for use with microwave ovens are available at most kitchenware dealers.

• Cooking containers or plates can be tested for their suitability in a microwave appliance by placing the item (without any food) on the glass turntable, switching the unit on, adjusting the microwave power setting to 'High', and letting the appliance operate for approximately 20 seconds. Listen and watch carefully for crackling sounds and sparks. Should any be observed, switch the unit off immediately. It is also important to check the temperature of the container: a suitable container will only be lukewarm.

Operation

- Power selection switch

The power can be infinitely adjusted from 120W to 700W :

	Power
1.	120 W	Low	Defrosting delicate food
2.	250 W	Defrosting	Defrosting
3.	380 W	Medium	Cooking delicate food
4.	540 W	Medium high	Defrosting and heating up deep-frozen dishes
5.	700 W	High	Heating up liquids, cooking

- Timer

• The timer features two scales. The outer scale is for defrosting according to weight in kgs. The inner scale is used for setting the cooking or heating-up times.
• By using the timer, an operating time of up to 30 minutes can be selected.
• When setting the cooking time to less than 5 minutes (or for amounts less than 250g ), turn the knob to a greater value first and then turn it slowly back to the desired setting.
• Once the timer is set, operation starts automatically when the door is closed.
• The appliance can be switched off at any time by setting the timer back to '0'.
• For defrosting, set the power selection switch to 'Defrosting'. Use the outer scale on the timer to set the weight of the food to be defrosted. The adjustable values for defrosting are approximate only, and may differ from those actually required. If defrosting is not complete after the elapsed time, repeat the process with a relatively shorter time setting.

The cooking time generally depends on several factors.

• The microwaves penetrate the surface of the food. For bigger pieces of food, a longer cooking time is therefore needed than for the same amount of food if cut into pieces. The food should also be evenly distributed on the plate.
• To ensure that any germs in the food are safely destroyed, the food needs to be exposed to high temperatures for a sufficiently long period.
• As a basic rule: half the amount - half the time double the amount - almost double the time.

- Operating sequence

• Place the food to be heated into a suitable container. Place the container onto the

turntable in the oven.

• When food is treated with microwaves, it should be covered to prevent it from drying out. Glass or plastic covers especially designed for use with microwave appliances are available at most kitchenware dealers.
• Use the power selection switch to set the desired level.
• Close the door and set the operating time with the timer. The turntable starts to rotate; during operation, the interior light remains switched on.
• If the door is opened during operation (e.g. to stir the food), cooking and timer functions are automatically suspended and will automatically resume after the door is closed again.
• After the pre-programmed time has elapsed, a sound signal is heard and the interior lighting is switched off.
• Open the door and remove the container with the food.
• In order to achieve an even heat distribution in the food, the container should be set aside for several minutes.

Cleaning

• Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is disconnected from the power supply and has cooled down completely.
• Do not clean the unit with water. Make sure that no water - however small an amount - is allowed to enter the ventilation slots on the inside or outside of the unit. Do not use any steam cleaning appliances for cleaning.
• The interior surfaces must be cleaned thoroughly after each operation cycle. The inside of the door as well as the door frames must be kept clean at all times.
• The entire unit may be wiped with a slightly damp lint-free cloth and a mild household detergent. Wipe thoroughly dry afterwards.
• Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions. Commercially available sprays specifically developed for cleaning conventional baking ovens are not to be used.
• The glass turntable and roller ring are suitable for dish-washers. The roller ring as well as the guiding track area underneath the glass turntable must be kept clean at all times.
