1. Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents

on the cabinet and the oven door will get hot during COMBINATION and GRILLING, take care when opening or closing the door and when inserting or removing food and accessories.

2. The oven has two heaters situated in the

top of the oven. After using the COMBINATION and GRILL function, these surfaces will be very hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching the heating elements inside the oven. N.B: After cooking by these modes, the oven accessories will be very hot.

3. The accessible parts may become hot when

the grill is in use. Children should be kept away.

4. When the appliance is operated in the

combination mode, children should only use the oven under supervision due to the temperatures generated. Oven Light When it becomes necessary to replace the oven light, please consult your dealer. Accessories The oven comes equipped with a variety of accessories. Always follow the directions given for use of the accessories. Glass Tray

1. Do not operate the oven without

the roller ring and the glass tray in place.

2. Never use another type of glass tray than

the one specially designed for this oven.

3. If the glass tray is hot, let it cool before

cleaning or placing in water.

4. The glass tray can turn in either direction.

5. If the food or cooking vessel on the glass

tray touches the oven walls and stops the tray rotating, the tray will automatically rotate in the opposite direction.This is normal.

6. Do not cook foods directly on the glass tray.

1. The roller ring and the oven floor should be

cleaned frequently to prevent noise and build-up of remaining food.

2. The roller ring must always be used for

cooking together with the glass tray. Wire rack (NN-J169M / NN-J159W)

1. The Wire Rack is used to facilitate browning

of small dishes and help with the good circulation of the heat.

2. Do not use any metal container directly on

the Wire Rack in COMBINATION with MICROWAVE.

• The cooking time depends on the condition, temperature, amount of food and on the type of cookware.

• Begin with the minimum cooking time to help prevent overcooking. If the food is not sufficiently cooked you can always cook it for a little longer. N.B.: If the recommended cooking times are exceeded the food will be spoiled and in extreme circumstances could catch fire and possibly damage the interior of the oven.

2. Small Quantities of Foods

• Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content can burn, dry out or catch on fire if cooked too long. If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off and remove the plug from the socket.

• Do not cook eggs in their shells and whole hard-boiled eggs by MICROWAVE. Pressure may build up and the eggs may explode, even after the microwave heating has ended.

• Food with non porous skins, such as potatoes, egg yolks and sausages must be pierced before cooking by MICROWAVE to prevent bursting.

• Use a meat thermometer to check the degree of cooking of roasts and poultry only when the meat has been removed from the oven. Do not use a conventional meat thermometer when using MICROWAVE or COMBINATION because it may cause sparking.

• When heating liquids, e.g. soup, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid. To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken: a. Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks. b. Do not overheat. c. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the cooking time. d. After heating, allow it to stand in the oven for a short time, stir again before carefully removing the container.

• When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check the oven frequently as these types of containers ignite if overheated.

• Do not use recycled paper products (e.g. Kitchen Roll) unless the paper product is labelled as safe for microwave oven use. Recycled paper products may contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires during use.

• Remove wire twist-ties from roasting bags before placing the bags in the oven.

• Do not heat any closed cans or bottles because they might explode.

• Metal containers or dishes with metallic trim should not be used during microwave cooking. Sparking will occur.

• If you use any aluminium foil, meat spikes or metalware the distance between them and the oven walls and door should be at least 2 cm to prevent sparking.

9. Feeding Bottles/Baby Food Jars

• The top and teat or lid must be removed from feeding bottles or baby food jars before placing in the oven.

• The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken.

• The temperature has to be checked before consumption to avoid burns. En-4Outline Diagram

1. Turn the oven off before cleaning.

2. Keep the inside of the oven, door seals

and door seal areas clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to the oven walls, door seals and door seal areas wipe off with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if they get very dirty. The use of harsh detergent or abrasive is not recommended.

3. The outside oven surface should be

cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.

4. If the Control Panel becomes dirty, clean it

with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives on the Control Panel. When cleaning the Control Panel, leave the oven door open to prevent the oven from accidentally turning on. After cleaning touch Button to clear the display window.

5. If steam accumulates inside or around the

outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates a malfunction of the unit.

6. It is occasionally necessary to remove the

glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher.

7. The roller ring and oven cavity floor should

be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent and hot water then dry with a clean cloth. The roller ring may be washed in mild soapy water. Cooking vapours collect during repeated use but in no way affects the bottom surface or roller ring wheels. After removing the roller ring from the cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to replace it in the proper position.

8. When using the GRILL or COMBINATION

mode, (NN-J169M / NN-J159W) some foods may inevitably splatter grease on to the oven walls. If the oven is not cleaned occasionally, it may start to “smoke” during use.

9. A steam cleaner is not to be used for

10. This oven should only be serviced by

qualified personnel. For maintenance and repair of the oven contact the nearest authorized dealer.

11. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean

condition could lead to deterioration of surfaces that could affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

12. Keep air vents clear at all times. Check

that no dust or other material is blocking any of the air vents on the top, bottom or rear of the oven. If air vents become blocked this could cause overheating which would affect the operation of the oven and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

13. NN-J169M / NN-J159W models. Do not

use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.En-19

Q: There are humming and clicking noises from my oven when I cook by COMBINA- TION. What is causing these noises? Questions and answers Q: Why wonʼt my oven turn on? A: When the oven does not turn on, check the following:

1. Is the oven plugged in securely? Remove

the plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds and reinsert.

2. Check the circuit breaker and the fuse.

Reset the circuit breaker or replace the fuse if it is tripped or blown.

3. If the circuit breaker or fuse is all right, plug

another appliance into the outlet. If the other appliance works, there probably is a problem with the oven. If the other appli- ance does not work, there probably is a problem with the outlet. If it seems that there is a problem with the oven, contact an authorized Service Center. A: Some radio and TV interference might occur when you cook with the microwave oven. This interference is similar to the interference caused by small appliances such as mixers, vacuums, blow dryers, etc. It does not indicate a problem with your oven. A: The oven is designed not to accept an incorrect program. For example, the oven will only accept one stage cooking (excluding Delay Start), and will not accept an Auto Weight Program after Delay Start. A: The heat given off from the cooking food warms the air in the oven cavity. This warmed air is carried out of the oven by the air flow pattern in the oven. There are no microwaves in the air. The oven vents should never be blocked during cooking. A: Only when you are using GRILL cooking mode (NN-J169M / NN-J159W). The metal in some thermometers may cause arcing in your oven and should not be used on MICROWAVE and COMBINATION cooking modes. A: The noises occur as the oven automatically switches from MICROWAVE power to GRILL to create the combination setting. This is normal. A: After repeated use, it is recommended to clean the oven and then run the oven without food, glass tray, and roller ring on Grill for 5 minutes. This will burn off any food, residue or oil which may cause an odour and/or smoking. Q: My microwave oven causes interference with my TV. Is this normal? Q: The oven wonʼt accept my program. Why? Q: Sometimes warm air comes from the oven vents. Why? Q: Can I use a conventional oven thermometer in the oven? Q: My oven has an odour and generates smoke when using the COMBINATION and GRILL function. Why?
