The appliance must be grounded and under no circumstances should it be connected to a direct current supply.

Place the appliance near to a grounded wall socket.

general

before first use

how the microwave works

A microwave oven is a cooking appliance that uses microwaves to heat food. Microwaves are electromagnetic waves, just like radio and television waves. A radio converts these waves into sound, whereas a microwave oven converts them into heat.

The heat arises because the microwaves cause water and fat molecules, which are always present in food, to move quickly. The molecules slide past each other quickly and friction occurs. And friction causes heat (just try rubbing your hands together quickly).

The microwave oven heats food very intensively, because the waves penetrate the food directly. The waves do not just heat the outside of the food, as in traditional methods of cooking, but get right inside the food. Compared to conventional methods of cooking, with small quantities cooking time is much shorter.

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 roller stay in the middle of the oven. Place the turntable on top of the roller stay.

The microwave oven may not be used without the roller stay or turntable.

Check that the microwave oven is working correctly. Put a glass of water inside it. Switch the microwave oven on for one minute on its highest setting (see page 8, cooking). At the end of this time, the water should be hot.

NB:

If you want to boil a liquid (e.g. water), put a plastic spoon in the cup.

It is possible that the liquid will boil without you seeing any bubbles. When you remove the cup from the oven, the liquid may start to boil violently and splash out of the cup, with the risk of scalding.

points for your attention

The door may be opened if the microwave oven is switched on: the microwave oven then switches itself off automatically and the cooking time is stopped.

The microwave oven always heats with the same intensity, irrespective of the quantity of food you are cooking in the oven. The more you put in the microwave oven, the longer the cooking time.

cooking tips

heating and cooking

• Place the food on a suitable dish.
• The food should preferably be covered with, for example, microwave cling film or a suitable lid. Remove the cling film or lid carefully afterwards. The steam that comes off can be very hot!
• If necessary, moisten foods that quickly become dry. Before placing them in the microwave, first put potatoes and vegetables into cold water for a moment. This prevents a skin forming on them.
• Wide, flat foods become hot more quickly than narrow, tall foods.
• For uniform results, it is best to stir or turn food once or twice.
• When reheating foods that are already cooked, always select the highest microwave power level.
• The food should preferably be divided into small pieces.
• When cooking in the microwave, you only need small quantities of water, salt and seasoning.

It is best to add salt after cooking. This prevents moisture being drawn out of the food.

- The food continues to cook for some time after the microwave has been switched off. Allow for this by not heating the food for too long.

important

When heating small quantities of powdery products (such as when drying herbs), always place a glass of water in the microwave. Otherwise, due to the small quantity, there is a chance of spontaneous combustion.

fish

Fish should be cooked gradually. With thin fish, fatty fish or small portions, therefore, set the power level to 40% (360 watt). In other cases, you can safely set the power level a bit higher. Allow, however, for the food continuing to cook after the microwave has been switched off. Fish is done when the flesh has become opaque.

cooking tips

defrosting

– Always defrost large dense pieces using the defrost program. Thanks to the food defrosting gradually and evenly, you will not run the risk of the outside drying out while the centre is still frozen.
- To speed up the defrosting process, it is recommended that after a while the food be divided up into smaller pieces.
- For large pieces of meat and dense food, introduce a couple of breaks into the defrosting process.
- When defrosting irregularly shaped food, halfway through the defrosting time you can cover or wrap the thin parts with aluminium foil.
- When freezing foods, you can already allow for them being defrosted in the microwave by not using aluminium foil or trays and by freezing flatter portions.

factors that can affect the cooking process

- The cooking times given in this booklet are only indications. The temperature of the ingredients affects the cooking times. A cold meal will require a longer cooking time than a meal that is already at room temperature.

– Light. porous foods cook more quickly than heavy, solid foods, such as stews and rolled meats. Take care when cooking light. porous foods. The edges quickly become dry and tough.
- Bones and fat conduct heat better than meat. Cover chicken legs and wings, for example, with aluminium foil.
- Microwaves penetrate food to a depth of about 3cm . The centre of thick foods is heated as a result of heat from the heated part (the outside) spreading to the inside. Thin and ring-shaped foods are heated the quickest and are therefore also done the quickest.
- Meat and poultry that is cooked in the microwave for more than about 15 minutes becomes lightly browned. Any food cooked for a shorter time can be rubbed beforehand with a "browning" sauce, such as Worcestershire sauce, soya bean oil or barbecue sauce.
- Greaseproof paper prevents splashing. Food also retains heat better.
– Small pieces of food are heated more evenly if you place then separately in the microwave, preferably in a circle.

cooking tips

basic techniques

- arranging food

Place thicker pieces at the outside on the glass turntable.

Foods placed at the outside on the glass turntable receive the most microwaves.

- stirring

By stirring dishes regularly you distribute the heat stored in them. Always stir from outside to inside, since the outside of the dish always becomes hot first.

- turning

Turn large, thick foods frequently. They then cook more regularly and quickly.

- aluminium foil

Aluminium foil blocks the microwaves. By covering thinner parts of foods (such as chicken legs) you prevent them from becoming done too quickly.

- pricking

Foods with a skin or shell, such as egg yolks, shellfish and fruit, burst in the microwave. You can prevent this by pricking them a few times with a fork or skewer beforehand.

- checking

Foods cook quickly. You should therefore check them frequently. Take food out of the microwave just before it is done.

- standing

Once you have taken it out of the microwave, let the food stand covered for, in general, 3 to 10 minutes. The food continues to cook.

Foods that have a dry crust, such as cake, should not be covered.

cooking tables

cooking vegetables

• Use fresh vegetables if possible. If the vegetables have become limp because they have been kept for too long, you can refresh them by placing them in cold water for a little while.
• Use a large dish to cook vegetables, so that the bottom of the dish is not covered by too thick a layer.

• Cook vegetables with the water that adheres to them, unless otherwise stated in the table.

• Always cover the dish with a lid or microwave cling film.

• Do not add salt. The salts naturally present in the vegetables usually provide enough flavour. If you must add salt, do so after cooking.
• Cook vegetables for as short a time as possible. Allow for them continuing to cook after the microwave has been switched off.
• Check whether the vegetables are done or not with a fork or skewer.

3. fish	fish: shellfish:	fillels, steaks, whole fish crab, lobster, prawns, mussels
4. bread		cut brown/white, rolls, French stick, croissants	4x	0,1 / 0,5 kg

• Although the program defrosts automatically, you should still check the food frequently, just as for manual defrosting.
• For best results, first remove the packaging around meat and fish. Packaging can adversely affect the defrosting process. The presence of liquid from the fish or meat can lead to the formation of steam, which then cooks the outside of the food.
• If the packaging is difficult to remove, it is best to allow the food to defrost for one quarter of the defrosting time, which is shown in the display at the start of the defrost program. Take the food out of the microwave, remove the packaging and put the food back.

• Put the food in a shallow glass oven dish, to catch any liquid that comes out of it.

• The centre of the food should still feel slightly frozen when you take it out of the microwave.

• Place slices of bread between sheets of kitchen paper. Cut rolls in half first.
• For other foods, select a power level of 40% (defrost) or 20% (defrost delicate).

keep your appliance looking good

Before starting to clean the microwave oven, remove the plug from the socket or turn the switch in the meter cupboard to zero.

Clean the inside immediately after use. Use a damp cloth to remove any condensation, liquid that has boiled over and food remains. Crumbs and liquid that remain behind absorb microwave energy and lengthen cooking times.

Clean the inside and outside of the oven regularly using soapy water and dry it thoroughly with a dry cloth. The accessories may also be washed in a dishwasher.

Make sure that the microwave distributor cover (inside the oven on the right) is clean. A cover which is not clean may cause sparking.

Clean the accessories regularly; use soapy water and a brush and dry the accessories thoroughly with a dry cloth.

Check the door closure and the door seal regularly for damage.

Do not use the oven if the door or the door closure is damaged.

faults

If the microwave oven does not cook as well as it should do, if there is sparking inside it, or if it does not start, etc., first try to find the reason for the problem yourself before phoning the service department.

You can do this by referring to the points listed below.

– Is the plug in the socket?

– Is the door closed properly?

– Have the power level and the cooking time been set properly?

- Are there any objects in the microwave oven which shouldn't be there?

- Are you using the correct cooking utensils?

- Are both the roller stay and the turntable in the microwave oven?

- Are the ventilation openings blocked?

- Has the food been defrosted sufficiently?

– Did you stir or turn the food during cooking?

– Is the childproof lock turned on?
