Important safety instructions

Radiation

If the door or the door locks are damaged you may not use the oven until it is fixed by a qualified person. Don't try making this oven work with open door; this will bring detrimental energy outside. Don't place any objects between the front of the oven and the door, also make sure that no detergent gets in contact with the closing. It's dangerous for everybody not-qualified to remove the hood that protects against microwave energy. DON'T remove the cardboard MICA-sign on the inside.

Usage

Do not play with the safety locks.

Liquid forms and other food may not be heated inside closed buckets, if this happens they can explode. Make sure children only use the oven without supervision, if they had good instructions about how to use the oven. If the machine is used in combination mode; make sure children only use the machine under supervision of an elder. Concerning high temperatures. Only use plates and buckets that are appropriate for usage in the oven. If you sense something is smoking, you have to immediately turn out the oven or pull out the plug to prevent fire. Don't let your food overcook. Don't use the oven to keep things in. Also don't keep food in it. Remove metal handles from your plastic or paper buckets before putting these in the oven. Egg with scale and very hard cooked eggs may not be heated inside the microwave concerning chance of exploding eggs. Always check the temperature of the contents of baby bottles and other baby food buckets. Heating with the microwave can cause slowed eruptions; so make sure to be careful with the buckets.

Maintenance

You have to clean the oven on regular bases.

If you don't keep the oven clean this can have effect on the lifespan of the oven.

Cleaning:

Clean the inside of the oven with a wet towel after every use.

Clean the accessories in soapsuds

The door and closing have to be carefully cleaned with a wet towel when they're dirty.

Positioning

Only install the oven on a, according to the guidelines, appropriate place.

If the wiring is damaged it has to be replaced by the fabricant, the service centre or somebody else qualified. Don't place the machine outside the house. Don't use this oven in a wet environment.

The temperature can get very high when the oven is on, so don't cover it. Make sure no wiring is hanging over a table corner or other corner. If you use a connector; make sure the marked energy classifications of the wiring are at least equal to the classifications of the machine.

• The connector has to be an appropriate three-coreded cord.
• The connector must be placed in a way it won't fall of a ledge, to prevent children from pulling it down. This machine is provided with appropriate wiring and an appropriate plug. The plug must be placed in a good placed, appropriate power socket. Place the machine on a stable, level sub-soil.

Cooking

Attention: In this instruction there is only said how to control the microwave.

Order the microwave guide or look in the bookshop for special recipes for microwaves.

The microwave function is used for heating liquid and firm food quickly. Think of: thee, coffee, leftovers, potatoes vegetables etc. The food is heated from the inside by micro radiation that reflects in the microwave until it is absorbed by the food. You can use the microwave function with low capacity to heat something slowly, or you can heat with high capacity. Always pay attention on high capacity because the result is unpredictable! When you use the microwave function the food will not get a crispy crust. This will happen when you use the combination function.

You use the grill to grill meat, fish or vegetables. This means the lights above, heat the food with intense heat. Pay attention that the outside of the food is warmed harder then the inside.

You use the defrost function to defrost food. You can do this in two ways:

1: You set the weight
2: You choose the time

The convection function is used for baking bread or cake etc. Attention; the maximum temperature is 200^

The combination function is a combination of the convection and microwave function. Where you can set convection temperature, on different temperatures.

Faq

Question: When can I use the Grillrack?

Answer: When you're using the convection, grill and combine function, but not on the microwave function.

Question: What does the cardboard sign on the inside of the microwave do?

Answer: This sign makes sure the microwave radiation is divided properly and therefore it may NOT be removed.

Question: What's the difference between grill and convection?

Answer: When you use grill, the fan isn't on and the air isn't heated but only the food, so that you really grill the food. With convection mode, a quiet fan will heat the air so that the food is baked from all sides.

Question: I don't know how to prepare certain food in this microwave, how can I find out?

Answer: You can order a microwave guide with us with handy tips, or you can buy a microwave cooking book at a bookstore.

Question: Which function should I use for baking ovenbread and cakes?

Answer: You have to use the convection mode for this. But pay attention that this mode doesn't go higher then 200^ .
