Precautions you must take

Don't forget to remove the plastic film that protects the oven.
Have the appliance connected/ repaired by a qualified fitter.
The power supply must be disconnected before the appliance is cleaned or repaired. Remove the plug from the socket or switch the electricity off at the mains.
- Your microwave oven is safe only if the door is closing properly! Never put anything between the oven door and make sure that the door and seal are always clean.
Do not use the oven if there is any damage to the door (out of shape), the things or lock (defective or loose), or the seal.
The oven's ventilation outlets must not be sealed of or blocked in any way.
Take extra care when children are close by, as is the case with all household appliances, of course.
The oven must not be used without the roller guide and turntable.
Never use the oven to heat agressive chemicals (such as sulphur or chlorine compounds).
Do not use the oven for any purpose other

than food preparation, such as drying clothes or paper. These may catch fire.

Warning:

Liquids which you bring to the boil in the microwave oven may reach their boiling point without this being apparent from air bubbles in the liquid. This may result in the liquid suddenly boiling over when you want to take it out of the oven. You can prevent this by placing a teaspoon in the liquid, and then shaking the liquid a little both before you place it in the microwave oven and also halfway through the preparation process.

Attention:

If you warm up small quantities of powdery products in the microwave oven (when drying herbs, for example), there is a risk of spontaneous combustion. Should a fire break out in the microwave, keep the door closed, switch the microwave off and disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

• Your microwave oven is not suitable for:
  Preserving/bottling food.
  -Boiling eggs, these will explode as a
  result of the increased pressure inside.
• Heating frying oil.
• Never heat food for longer than necessary, allow for the fact that food will continue cooking for a while, after being removed from the microwave oven.
  Use as little water as possible while cooking and use salt sparingly to preserve the natural flavours.
  Stir or turn the food every now and then.

Always prick the skins of meat, poultry or fish. to help prevent them from spattering.
Covering the dishes will prevent spattering, shorten cooking, and help to preserve the level of moisture.
- Do not switch on an empty microwave oven, this may damage the oven.
The door can be opened during operation of the microwave oven, the oven will automatically switch off.
There could be some disturbance on your TV, this happens sometimes with household appliances such as a mixer, vacuum cleaner, oven etc.
The oven light is only burning when the oven is working. Sometimes the light can become a little fainter and you can hear clicking noises. This happens when the microwave oven is set at a lower power level.
During cooking condensation will form, especially on the door. Depending on the quantity and moisture level of the food being prepared there may even be a little water under the door. This is normal
During cooking heat and smoke can escape through the ventilation outlets. This is normal also.

G18

In your microwave oven you should preferably use round, shallow, heat-resistant dishes made of thick glass, ceramic, china, earthenware or heat-resistant plastic.

Large joints of meat

It is not right to cook large joints of meat at full power only. Select a power level of approximately 400 W (level 2). Sealing the meat quickly in hot fat in a pan, and then cooking it further in the microwave oven, is a much adopted method. Remember to allow for the fact that large joints will continue to cook for a long time once the microwave oven has stopped.

Small cuts of meat

Small cuts of meat such as steak, pork chops or cutlets will give the best results if you simply fry them in a frying pan on a traditional heat source.
- Products with a crust such as crispy bread rolls, croissants and puff pastry should not be heated in the microwave oven. This is better done in the hot-air oven.

How your microwave oven works

Microwaves are small electro-magnetic waves with which we are already familiar from the television, radio, radar and wireless telephones. Depending on the sort of food, the microwaves will penetrate between 2.5 and 3.7cm below the surface and will vibrate the molecules in the food at extremely high speed. The friction between the vibrating

molecules will create heat by which the food cooks.

Microwaves are only attracted by molecules of moisture. Glass, plastic and paper do not contain any moisture and will therefore remain relatively cool during cooking. The metal walls of the microwave oven an the raster in the door ensure that the microwaves stay within the oven. The microwave oven has been fitted with extra safeguards. Once the door is opened the oven will automatically stop the production of microwaves.

Setting the clock

As soon as you plug in the socket the display will show ".0". The clock will always show the current time, except when the oven is in use. You can choose between a 12 and a 24 hour indication. To set the clock, act as follows:

1. Press the clock selection button. The display will show "12 H". The clock is set to a 12 hour indication. If you want to use a 24 hour indication, press the clock selection button again. The display will then show "24 H".
2. Turn the time selection button to set the minutes. You can set the minutes between 0 and 59 minutes. The display will show the minutes blinking.
3. Press the clock selection button. The minutes on the display stop blinking and the hour indication before the colon starts blinking.
4. Turn the time selection button to set the hours. When using a 12 hour indication you can set the hours between 1 and 12. If you use a 24 hour indication the hours can be set between 0 and 23 hours.
5. Press the clock selection button. The hours on the display stop blinking. The colon blinks every second and the clock has been set.

If there is a power cut or if the plug is removed from the socket the time setting will be deleted. Once the power supply is restored the display will show "0" again and the time will have to be reset. If you wish to see the time while the oven is in use press the clock selection button. The correct time will be visible for 3 seconds.

Defrosting with weight setting

Defrosting meat, poultry or fish

When defrosting fish or chicken the chicken legs or the tail of the fish will be defrosted sooner than the rest. Cover these parts with aluminium foil. Make sure that the foil does not stick out over the edge of the turntable to prevent sparks from flying.

We advise you to frequently check the centre of the food being defrosted. If you are able to prick into the center, with a skewer for example, you can switch the microwave oven off and leave the food to stand for a quarter of an hour before further preparation.

Remove the wrapping from meat, poultry or fish as soon as possible. The melted frost should also be drained frequently. The time

required for defrosting greatly depends on the density/thickness of the food and the temperature at which it was deep-frozen.

CLEANING

General

The power supply must be disconnected before the appliance is cleaned or repaired. Remove the plug from the socket or switch the electricity off at the mains.

Oven interior

The oven interior and the oven door are best cleaned with hot soapy water, possibly with a liquid detergent and rinsed well with clean water.

The drive frame and the base of the oven should be cleaned regularly to prevent the drive system from making to much noise. You can clean the drive frame and the turntable in the dishwasher or in hot soapy water. The turntable in particular should be cleaned regularly to prevent bacteria forming.

The seal of the oven door should be kept clean. You must check now and then that the door closes properly.

Oven exterior

The oven exterior and the exterior of the door can also be cleaned with hot soapy water. The control panel should never be cleaned with agressive detergents; you could use a little Glassex on a soft cloth.

Troubleshooting

When the cooking results are not as you expected, sparking occurs in the oven, the oven does not start etc; try to locate the problem yourself before calling a mechanic. Use the checklist below to see if you did something wrong.

• Is the plug in the socket?
• Have you pressed the start button?
• Is the door closed properly?
• Are the power level, cooking time and cooking temperature set right?
  Is there anything in the oven that does not belong there?
• Did you use the right kitchen equipment/ containers?
• Did you use the right buttons?
  Are the roller guide and the turntable placed in the oven?
• Are the ventilation outlets blocked?
• Was the food sufficiently defrosted?
• Has the food been turned or stirred during cooking?
