Things to watch for

• Disconnect the appliance before starting with cleaning or repairs. Preferably by taking the plug out of the socket or by turning off the mains switch.
  This appliance may only be used for the purpose for which it was designed, namely preparing food. Any other use must be deemed unsuitable and hazardous. We cannot accept any liability in the event of damage due to incorrect, wrongful or improper use of the appliance.
  ■ Children are not aware of the dangers that can arise when operating electrical equipment. For this reason do not allow children to use the microwave oven.
• Your microwave oven is only safe if the door shuts properly! Never place any object between the door and the oven, and always ensure that the door and the seal are clean.
• Do not use the oven if there is any damage to the door (warped), lock, hinges (broken or loose) or seal.
  ■ Use the oven only for defrosting and preparing food, and never for drying clothes or paper, for example, as these may burst into flame.
  ■ If something catches fire in the oven, keep the oven door closed, switch the microwave off and remove the plug from the socket.

Before you begin

• Open the door and remove the packaging material.
  ■ Clean the inside of the oven and the accessories with a damp cloth. Do not use an abrasive cleaner or any strongly-smelling detergents.
• Place the turntable support in the middle of the oven. Place the turntable on top of the turntable support.
• Do not use the oven when empty, this could damage the oven.
• Do not operate the oven without the glass tray in place. Be sure it is properly fitted on the turntable support.
• The microwave oven is not suitable for:
• Preserving food.
• Boiling eggs in their shells - these explode due to the increased pressure.
• Heating oil for deep-fat frying.
  ■ Remove any metal sealing strips from plastic bags and use bowls and dishes which are microwave proof.

■ Certain materials may not be placed in the microwave oven. The list below shows which materials may or may not be used.

Material Permitted

paper yes aluminium foil yes
cling film yes
aluminium trays no
freezer / microwave dishes yes heat-resistant plastic yes
unglazed earthenware no glazed earthenware yes
metal cooking utensils no normal glass yes

Pyrex and other ovenproof glass and ceramics yes dishes with metallic decoration no metallic twists no

mercury thermometer no

sealed pots no bottle with narrow neck no roasting bags yes

■ Never heat for longer than necessary. Food continues to cook after heating has finished, so always let it stand a while before eating.
- Use as little water as possible when cooking, and use salt sparingly.
■ Stir or turn over food half-way through preparation time.
■ Use a fork or other sharp object to puncture the skin of meat or fish. This prevents juices spattering inside the oven.
■ Covering the food prevents spattering, shortens the preparation time and helps maintain the moisture level.
- The door may be opened while the microwave oven is switched on – the microwave oven will then switch off automatically, and the timer will pause.

One more thing...

* By covering thinner pieces of food (such as chicken legs) you prevent them cooking too quickly.
- If you wish to boil a liquid (such as water) put a plastic spoon in the cup. The liquid could boil without you seeing any movement. Once the cup is removed from the oven, the liquid can start to boil rapidly and spatter out of the cup.
- On account of the increased pressure during heating: liquids in airtight packaging can only be heated if a couple of openings have first been made in the package.

If you wish to check how cooking is proceeding:

- Open the door. The microwave stops.

■ To continue cooking close the door.

- If you wish to stop cooking remove the dish from the oven and turn the timer dial to the "0"-setting.

Operation

Cooking

Depending on the type of dish, select a higher or lower power setting (see power setting table).

1. Open the door. Place the food on the turntable. Close the door.

2. Set the power required using the power adjustment knob.

This microwave oven has 5 power settings. The maximum power is 800 W. The table below shows the various power settings.

Power

setting	Use for
90	warming up
defrost	defrosting
360	medium
600	medium/high
max	high

1. Set the cooking time required using the timer/weight adjustment knob. The microwave oven switches on. At the end of the cooking time you will hear a sound signal and the oven light will go out. The microwave oven switches off.

Tip:

Turn the timer/weight adjustment knob slightly past the required cooking time to start with and then turn it back to the correct cooking time, so as to set it accurately.

Check the food during the cooking time. Press the release knob to open the door. The microwave oven switches off. The settings and the remaining cooking time are preserved. When you close the door, the microwave oven switches on again.

Defrosting

Food can be defrosted quickly and safely in the microwave oven. Defrosting in the microwave oven does take longer than cooking, however.

Check the food during the defrosting process. Turn it at least once and (if possible) remove any food that has already defrosted.

1. Set the power adjustment knob to defrost.

2. Set the timer/weight adjustment knob to the correct weight. At the end of the defrost time, you will hear a sound signal and the oven light will go out.

Attention:

The appliance switches on as soon as you turn the timer/weight adjustment knob from the 0-position.

Looking after your appliance

Take the plug out of the socket or set the switch in the meter cupboard to zero before you start cleaning the microwave oven.

Clean the inside and the outside of the oven on a regular basis using washing up liquid and dry the oven thoroughly with a soft cloth.

Clean the accessories regularly: use soapy water and a brush and dry the accessories thoroughly with a dry cloth. The accessories may also be washed in a dishwasher.

Odours will disappear if you put a glass of vinegar or water - with lemon juice added - in the oven space. Switch the microwave on for two minutes on full power. Then wipe with a damp cloth.

Check the seal of the door regularly for damage.

If there is any damage the oven may not be used until the damage has been repaired.
