microwave oven introduction

Thank you for choosing an Atag oven. You have made the right choice.

To get the most out of your new cooking aid we suggest you read and follow the advice contained in this manual.

Atag is continually improving its technology so that it can provide the best oven there is and the one you have chosen has the most innovative features. By combining the various functions and accessories you will get the greatest use out of your oven and produce the best results from your favourite recipes.

We hope you will find cooking with our oven an enjoyable experience that brings pleasure to all.

• Your apparatus is designed solely for household use - cooking, heating or defrosting foodstuffs. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any other inappropriate use of the oven.
• Before you use your microwave oven, make sure that all the recipients and accessories are suitable for use with it (e.g. flameproof glass, porcelain, etc.).
• To avoid damaging your unit never turn it on when it is empty or the support plate is not in place.
• Do not touch the openings in the locks on the front; this may create damage to the oven requiring outside repair.
• Keep a close eye on the oven when products to be heated or cooked are in containers made of throwaway plastic, paper or any other combustible material. They may be subject to spontaneous bur-ning.
• We do not recommend using metal recipients, knives, forks or spoons or metal staples used on defrosting sachets.
• However, it is possible to heat up food in covered aluminium trays provided they are fairly shallow (no more than 4 cm high). They will take slightly longer to heat. Make sure the tray is in the middle on the bottom and there is a gap of at least 1 cm between the sides of the tray and the metal walls and the door.

- For babies:

• Baby bottles must be heated without the teat, the liquid must be shaken and its temperature checked with the back of the hand before being given to the child.
• Baby food must be mixed and its temperature checked before being given to the child for avoiding any risks of possibly serious internal burning.

WARNING Do not let children use the oven unwatched unless they have received appropriate instructions and you are sure the child can use the oven correctly and that he understands the dangers of not using the oven as it should be.

• We recommend you to cover your food in most cases; it will be tastier and your unit will remain clean. However, before cooking food or heating drinks in a bottle or any hermetically closed container, remo-ve the cork or lid to avoid any risks of explosion.
• Heating or cooking eggs in their shells, poached or fried must be avoided. Eggs may burst, cause serious burning and damage your oven irreparably.
• When heating liquids, they may reach boiling temperature without any bubbles appearing on the surface. To avoid spilling and risks of burns, wait 20 seconds before taking the container out of the oven or putting anything whatsoever in it to prevent splashing.
• For small quantities (sausages, croissants, etc.) place a glass of water beside the food.
• Cooking times that are too long will dry out the food and burn it. To avoid this, never use the same cooking times as you use for your traditional oven.
• If you see any smoke coming out, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off and disconnect it.

how to use your oven

using the Microwave for automatic defrosting

The hours of waiting for your food to defrost are finished with your microwave oven! The microwave is the deep-freeze's best

ally, as it enables you to defrost your frozen food up to ten times quicker than by just leaving it in the open air.

Recommendations:

- Defrosting times vary depending on the type of apparatus. They also depend on the size, shape, initial temperature and quality of the food.

- Make sure that you remove any metallic attachments on food packaging when defrosting.

- If there are any ice crystals on the food, scrape them off beforehand with a knife. Otherwise the ice will create a screen and slow down defrosting.

- Put meat or fish on an overturned saucer for defrosting. This enables any juice liable to trigger off a cooking process by being in contact with the food to drip away.

- To make your defrosting as homogeneous as possible, separate chicken escalope, fish fillets, or pieces of meat as soon as you can.

- Turn the food over or mix it up when it is half-defrosted.

- Leave food to rest after defrosting it. Normally the rest time = defrosting time.

- Never refreeze any defrosted food before it has been cooked.

It can be put on the floor of your oven for catching any juice or fat dripping from food cooked on the grid. It can also be used for defrosting.

HINT: To keep your oven clean whatever cooking you are doing, put your glass dish on the bottom of the oven.

Important recommendations

Never touch your pans with bare hands when cooking is over.

As a specialist, you alone are competent to install and connect up Atag appliances.

Our guarantee therefore applies only and exclusively to appliances which have been installed and connected up by you in accordance with the provisions of current regulations.

Failure to meet this requirement would incur the fitter's liability and release the Atag company from any liability.

Electrical connections must be made as per the connection plate fixed to the back of the appliance, by an electrical fitter. Who must ensure that the appliance has been connected up in accordance with fitting instructions and local regulations.

Where the appliance is not connected to the mains electricity supply by a plug, an omni polar cutout device (with a contacts gap of at least 3 mm) must be fitted on the supply side of the connection to meet safety requirements.

NOTE: When power is connected, the electronics of the oven are initialised; this neutralizes the lighting for a few seconds.

If the oven is connected to the power supply by a plug, this must remain accessible once the oven has been fitted.

We cannot accept any liability in the event of an accident resulting from non-existent or faulty earthing.

WARNING: Some internal parts are capable of giving an electric shock even when the oven is disconnected from the power supply. Work that involves removing a plate allowing microwaves to be discharged should only be undertaken by a qualified electrician.

If the power supply cable is damaged, it presents a potential hazard. It must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales service or a qualified electrician.

installer's information housing

The oven has an high-performance air circulation system which gives remarkable results for cooking and cleaning, as long as the following points are applied:

- The oven may be fitted either underneath a work surface or in a suitable sized column unit. Cut a hole measuring 50 ~mm × 50 ~mm in the back wall of the insert space for the electric cable to pass through (See diagram, left).

- Centre the oven in the unit, and make that it is at least 2 mm from any other unit beside it.

- The unit must be heat-resistant (or covered with heat-resistant material).

- The oven must be disconnected from the power supply while it is being installed in the unit.

- For greater stability, fix the oven in the unit with 2 screws in the holes on the side uprights (see diagram). Make a 3mm diameter hole in the side of the unit first to prevent the wood from splitting.

Leave the oven to cool down before cleaning it manually.

In general, don't use any type of scouring powder or metal-backed sponge, or any sharp objects for cleaning.

Removing the racks:

The racks may be removed for cleaning:

a) Raise slightly.
b) Rotate without forcing.
c) Rake the rack out.

• The surrounds to the door and the oven must always be kept clean. If these surfaces become damaged by excessive dirt, call in a specialist before using your unit.
• If your oven smells or is dirty inside, boil a cup of water containing some lemon juice or vinegar for two minutes and then wipe the inside walls clean using a few drops of washing-up liquid.

changing the light bulb
