Earthing information/ correct installation ■ This appliance must be earthed. This appliance must only be connected to a correctly earthed power socket. A separate circuit that is devoted to connecting the microwave is recommended. DANGER – ELECTRIC SHOCK! ► Improper use of the earthing connector could increase the risk of electric shock. NOTE ► If you have any questions about earthing or the instructions concerning the use of this electrical appliance, please consult an electri- cian or a maintenance technician. ■ Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can ac- cept liability for damage to the micr owave oven or injury to persons resulting from failure to com- ply with the instructions for electrical connection. Interference with other appliances The operation of the microwave may cause interfer- ence on your radio, television or similar appliances. If such interference should occur, it may be reduced or corrected by taking the following remedial measures: ■ Clean the door and the sealing surfaces of the micro wave oven. ■ Realign the radio or television antenna. ■ Put the microwave in a diff erent location than the receiv er. ■ Move the microwave away from the receiver. ■ Plug the microwave into another wall socket. The micro wave and the receiver should be connected to diff erent power circuits. Before starting Basic principles of microwave cookery ■ Think carefully about how to arrange the food ■ The thickest parts should be at the edges. ■ Pay attention to the cooking time. Select the shortest possible specifi ed cooking time and increase as required. Food that is cooked for too long can begin to smoke or catch fi re. ■ Cover the food with a lid that is suitable for micro- wav e cookery during cooking. The lid prevents splashing and helps to cook the food evenly. ■ While cooking, turn the food in the microwave once so that items such as chicken or hambur gers cook more quickly. ■ Turn large food items such as joints of meat at least once. ■ Completely re-arrange foods such as meatballs after half of the cooking time. T urn them and move the meatballs from the middle of the cookware to the edge. Suitable cookware ■ The ideal material for a microwave oven is microwave-permeable, allowing the energy to pass through the container to heat the food. Microwaves cannot pass through metal. For this reason metal containers and cookware should not be used. ■ Do not use products made from recycled paper when using the micro wave for heating. These may contain minute fragments of metal, which can generate sparks and/or fi res. ■ We recommend the use of round/oval cookware rather than squar e or oblong containers, since food in corner areas tends to overcook.9 SMW 700 A1

■ The following list can be used as a general aid in helping you to select the proper cookware.
