USER MANUAL MW 749 CLATRONIC

General Safety Instructions

• Read the operating instructions carefully before putting the appliance into operation and keep the instructions including the warranty, the receipt and, if possible, the box with the internal packing.

• The appliance is designed exclusively for private use and for the envisaged purpose. This appliance is not fi t for commercial use. Do not use it outdoors (except if it is designed to be used outdoors). Keep it away from sources of heat, direct sunlight, humidity (never dip it into any liquid) and sharp edges. Do not use the appliance with wet hands. If the appliance is humid or wet, unplug it immediately. Do not put it in water.

• When cleaning or putting it away, switch off the ap- pliance and always pull out the plug from the socket (pull on the plug, not the cable) if the appliance is not being used and remove the attached accessories.

• Do not operate the machine without supervision. If you should leave the workplace, always switch the machine off or remove the plug from the socket (pull the plug itself, not the lead).

• To protect children from the dangers posed by electrical appliances, make sure that the cable is hanging low and that children do not have access to the appliance.

• Check the appliance and the cable for damage on a regular basis. Do not use the appliance if it is dama- ged.

• Do not try to repair the appliance on your own. Always contact an authorized technician. To avoid the expos- ure to danger, always have a faulty cable be replaced only by the manufacturer, by our customer service or by a qualifi ed person and with a cable of the same type.

• Use only original spare parts.

• Pay careful attention to the following “Special Safety Instructions“. Important Safety Information! Please read carefully and keep for future use.

• Warning: When the door or the door seals are dama- ged, the microwave oven must not be used until it has been repaired by a qualifi ed specialist.

• Warning: Please do not repair the device yourself, but have it repaired by an authorised specialist. Car- rying out maintenance or repair work which involves removal of the cover that protects the surroundings from microwave radiation is dangerous unless carried out by an expert.

• Warning: Do not heat liquids in closed containers. Danger of explosion!

• Note: The microwave oven is not suitable for warming/heating up living animals.

• Warning: Children and frail individuals may only use the oven without supervision if they have been instructed in its use in such a way that they are able to use the device safely and understand the dangers of incorrect operation.

• Do not place your microwave in a cupboard. Please ensure that you maintain a space of at least 10 cm to walls etc for ventilation purposes on all sides of the machine.

• Only suitable tableware should be used such as: glass, porcelain, ceramics, heat-resistant plastic or special microwave tableware.

• If food is being heated or cooked in combustible materials, such as plastic or paper containers, the microwave oven should be checked frequently due to the risk of fi re.

• If smoke is produced, turn the device off and remove the plug. Keep the door closed in order to suffocate any fl ames.

• Delay in boiling: During boiling, particularly during the reheating of liquids (water), it may happen that the boiling temperature has been reached but the typical bubbles have not yet started to rise. The liquid does not boil evenly. When the vessel is removed this so- called delay in boiling may result in the sudden forma- tion of bubbles when the vessel is knocked, causing the water to boil over. There is a serious danger of burns! In order to achieve even boiling, please place a glass rod or similar item, but nothing metallic, in the vessel.

• The contents of babies‘ bottles and jars of baby food must be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before use. There is a danger of burns.

• Food with a shell or skin, such as eggs, sausages, sealed jars etc. must not be heated up in the micro- wave as they may explode even when heating by the microwaves is fi nished.

• Any dirt on the door frame/door seal and neighbou- ring parts must be carefully cleaned with a damp cloth.

• Clean the microwave oven regularly and remove any food residues from the interior.

• If the machine is not clean the surface may be damaged, affecting its serviceable life and possibly resulting in hazardous situations.

• If you would like to use your microwave in a cupboard, on a shelf or similar item, please ensure that you maintain a space of at least 10 cm to cupboards, walls etc for ventilation purposes on all sides of the machine.

• Take the accessories out of the oven and unpack them. First place the rotating base in position and then put the glass plate on top in such a way that it grips into the indentations and is lying fl at.

• In order to ensure your children‘s safety, please keep all packaging (plastic bags, boxes, polystyrene etc.) out of their reach.

• Check the device for any visible damage, particularly in the area of the door. If any damage is found, the machine must not be used.

• In order to avoid interference to other machines when the microwave oven is operated, do not place it in the direct vicinity of other electronic devices.

• Remove any protective foils that may be adhered to the housing.

• The foils on the inside of the door must not be removed!

• Insert the mains plug into a properly installed 230 V, 50 Hz power socket. Using the Device What you should know about microwave operation:

• Your device works with microwave radiation, which heats up water particles in food in a very short time. There is no heat radiation and therefore hardly any browning.

• Only food should be heated up with this device.

• The device is not suitable for baking in fl oating fat.

• Only 1-2 portions should be heated up at the same time. Otherwise the microwave will become less effi cient.

• In order to interrupt the cooking process, turned the timer to „0“.

• Do not heat up any food with a shell or skin, such as eggs, sausages or closed glass jars etc as there is a danger of explosion!

• Microwaves provide their full energy levels immediate- ly. Pre-heating is therefore not necessary.

• Never operate the microwave function when the oven is empty.

• The microwave oven does not replace your traditional cooker. It is used mainly for: - defrosting deep-frozen food - rapid warming/heating of food or drinks - cooking meals

• Only suitable tableware should be used such as: - glass, porcelain, ceramics, heat-resistant plastic or special microwave tableware.

• Please do not use any plastic or paper tableware. Operation

1. Place the food to be heated in a suitable piece of

2. Open the door and place the vessel in the middle of

the glass plate. Then close the door. (For safety re- asons the oven only operates when the door is tightly closed.)

3. Adjust the microwave power as required:

Symbol Value Power Microwave in % Field of Application Keeping warm 18 Melting cheese etc. Defrosting 36 Defrosting frozen - food Low 58 Continued cooking Medium 81 Cooking e.g. meat High 95 Brief heating Maximum 100 Rapid heating

• 100% corresponds to 800 W

4. Set the required cooking time with the timer.

The cooking time depends on the quantity and constituency of the contents of the oven. With a little practice you will soon learn to estimate the cooking time. Please note: preparation of food in a microwave oven is very much faster than in a conventional cooker. Set the cooking time to a low level if you are not sure and continue cooking again if necessary. Once the cooking time is set the oven switches itself on. The light inside the oven goes on. If you would like to set times shorter than 3 minutes, turn the button past the 10 minute mark and then back. The timer will then run more accurately.

5. When the time has fi nished the oven switches off

automatically. A sound is heard. The food should then be removed. Please note: A cover should be placed over the food when operating the microwave. You will fi nd recipe books at specialist bookshops. 05-MW 749 New2 33 14.10.2005, 14:07:29 UhrENGLISH

Warming The warming and heating of food is a particular strength of the microwave. Liquids and foods that are in the refrigerator can be easily brought up to room temperature or the right temperature for consumption without the need for many pots. The heating times contained in the following table are only rough guides as the time depends very much on the starting temperature and the composition of the food. You are therefore advised to check from time to time whether the dish is already hot enough.
