c) Operating principle

The micro-waves used for cooking are electro-magnetic waves. They are commonly found in our environment in the form of radio-electric waves, light or infrared rays.

Their frequency is in the 2450 MHz range.

Their behaviour:

• They are reflected by metals.
• They travel through all other materials.
• They are absorbed by water, fat and sugar molecules.

When food is exposed to micro-waves, its molecules begin moving rapidly, which causes heating.

The penetration depth of waves into the food is approximately 2.5 cm; if the food is thicker, the core of the food will be cooked by conduction, as in traditional cooking.

d) Protecting the environment

It is valuable to note that the microwaves trigger within the food causes a simple phenomenon and that they are not thermal harmful to one's health.

This appliance's packing materials are recyclable. Recycle them and play a role in protecting the environment by disposing of them in municipal containers provided for this purpose.

Your appliance also contains various recyclable materials. Thus it is stamped with this logo to indicate to you that used appliances should be mixed with other waste.

- Ensure that your appliance has not suffered any damage during transport (deformed seal or door, etc...). If you see any kind of damage before doing anything else, contact your retailer.

- This microwave oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface to hold its weight and the heaviest food likely to be cooked in the oven.

- Do not place the microwave oven where heat, moisture, or high humidity are

generated, or near combustible materials.

• For correct operations, the microwave oven must have sufficient airflow. Allow 20cm of space above the oven, 10cm at back and 5cm at both sides. Do not cover or block any opening on the appliance. Do not remove feet.
• Do not operate the oven without glass tray, roller support, and shaft in their proper positions.
• Make sure that the power supply cord is undamaged and does not run under the oven or over any hot or sharp surface.
• The socket must be readily accessible so that it can be easily unplugged in an emergency.
• Do not use the oven outdoors.

Radio interference:

Operation of the microwave oven can cause interference to your radio, TV, or similar equipment. When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the following measures:

• Clean door and sealing surface of the oven.
  • Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.
• Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver.
• Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.
• Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that microwave oven and receiver are on different branch circuits.

Electrical connection

Ensure that:

• The electrical installation has efficient voltage.
  • The electrical wires are in good condition.
• The diameter of the wires complies with the installation requirements.
• Your electrical installation is equipped with 20-ampere thermal-sensitive protection.

In case of doubt, consult you electrician installer.

The electrical connections are made before the appliance is installed in its housing.

Electrical safety must be provided by a correct build-in. During installations and maintenance operations, the appliance must be unplugged from the electrical grid.

The power plug or any other power cut device must stay immediately accessible for any emergency stop.

If the oven presents any anomaly, unplug the appliance or disconnect the connexion to the sector.

If the plug cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sale service, or a similar qualified person to avoid any danger.

Warning: We cannot be held responsible for any accident resulting from an inexistent, defective or incorrect ground lead.

b) Before you call for service

If the oven fails to operate:

• Check to ensure that the oven is plugged in securely. If it is not, remove the plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds, and plug it in again securely.
• Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If these seem to be operating properly, test the outlet with another appliance.
• Check to ensure that the control panel is programmed correctly and the timer is set.
• Check to ensure that the door is securely closed engaging the door safety lock system. Otherwise, the microwave energy will not flow into the oven.

IF NON OF THE ABOVE RECTIFIES THE SITUATION, THEN CONTACT A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN, DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE OVEN YOURSELF.

c) Utensils

The ideal utensil for a microwave is made of transparent material as it allows energy to pass through the container and heat the food.

Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.

Round or oval dishes rather than square or oblong ones are recommended, as food in corners tends to overcook.

Narrow strips of aluminium foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. But be careful and do not use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch (2,54cm) between foil and cavity.

See the instructions on “Materials you can use in microwave oven or to be avoided in microwave oven”. There may be certain non-metallic utensils that are not safe to use for microwaving. If in doubt, you can test utensil in question following the procedure below.

Materials you can use in microwave oven:

Utensils Observations
Aluminium foil	Shielding only. Small smooth pieces can be used to cover thin parts of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking. Arcing can occur if foil is too close to oven walls. The foils should be at least 1 inch (2,5cm) away from oven walls.
Browning dish	Follow manufacturer's instructions. The bottom of browning dish must be at least 3/16 inch (5mm) above the turntable. Incorrect usage may cause the turntable to break.
Dinnerware	Microwave-safe only. Follow manufacturer's instructions. Do not use cracked or chipped dishes.
Glass jars	Always remove lid. Use only to heat food until just warm. Most glass jars are not heat resistant and may break.
Glassware	Heat-resistant oven glassware only. Make sure there is no metallic trim. Do not use cracked or chipped dishes.
Oven cooking bags	Follow manufacturer's instructions. Do not close with metal tie. Make slits to allow steam to escape.
Paper plates and cups	Use for short-term cooking/warming only. Do not leave oven unattended while cooking.
Paper towels	Use to cover food for reheating and absorbing fat. Use with supervision for a short-term cooking only.
Parchment paper Use as a cover to prevent splattering or a wrap for steaming.
Plastic	Microwave-safe only. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Should be labelled "Microwave Safe". Some plastic containers soften, as the food inside gets hot. "Boiling bags" and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed by package.
Plastic wrap	Microwave-safe only. Use to cover food during cooking to retain moisture. Do not allow plastic wrap to touch food.
Wax paper Use as a cover to prevent splattering and retain moisture.

Materials to be avoided in microwave oven:

Utensils	Observations
Aluminium tray May cause arcing. Transfer food into microwave-safe dish.
Food carton with metal handle	May cause arcing. Transfer food into microwave-safe dish.
Metal or metal-trimmed utensils	Metal shields the food from microwave energy. Metal trim may cause arcing.
Metal twist ties May cause arcing and could cause a fire in the oven.
Paper bags May cause a fire in the oven.
Plastic foam Plastic foam may melt or contaminate the liquid inside when exposed to high temperature.
Wood Wood will dry out when used in the microwave oven and may split or crack.

It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. To do this, handle it by the access zones provided for this purpose. If your remove the turning gear, do not let water penetrate into the motor axle hole. Do not forget to return the turning gear, wheel guide and turntable. Wash the tray in warm sudsy water or in a dishwasher.

The turntable roller and oven floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise.

Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent. The roller ring may be washed in mild sudsy water or dishwasher. When removing the roller ring from cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to replace in the proper position.

In the event of odour or caked-on dirt, boil water with lemon juice and vinegar in a cup for 5 minutes and clean the insides with a bit of dishwashing liquid.
