Safety information
General safety
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
- The built-in safety interlock switches prevent the microwave oven from operating when the door is open.
- Do not tamper with them, or attempt to operate the oven with the door open as open door operation can result in exposure to microwave energy.
- Do not allow food spills or cleaner residue to accumulate on door sealing surfaces. See the Cleaning and Care section for cleaning instructions.
- It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) door (warped), (2) hinges and latches (broken or insecure), (3) door seals and sealing surface.

Warning! If the door, hinges/latches or door seals are damaged, the microwave must not be operated until it has been repaired by a authorized service person.

Warning! It is hazardous for anyone except factory trained service personnel to service or make adjustments to this oven. Contact your nearest authorised service agent if service should be required.
- Do not remove the outer case, door or control panel at any time. Doing so may cause exposure to extremely high voltage.
-
Install or locate this oven only in accordance with 'installation instructions' found in this manual.
-
Use the appliance for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or defrost food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use neither for commercial use as this will invalidate the guarantee.
- Do not operate the oven empty. If food or water is not present to absorb the microwave energy, the magnetron tube can be damaged.
- Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water.
- Do not attempt to dry clothing or newspapers in the microwave oven. These items can ignite.
- Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.
- The temperature of accessible surfaces may be high when the appliance is operating.

Warning! If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames. Never use water.

Warning! The appliance is not intended for use by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction.
- Do not force the turntable to rotate by hand. This may cause malfunctioning.
- The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.
- Care should be taken not to obstruct any air vents located on the top, rear, side and bottom of the oven.

Warning! Do not use this oven for commercial purposes. This oven is made for domestic use only.
Utensil safety
Only use utensils that are suitable for use in a microwave oven.
Arcing in the oven during microwave operation usually occurs from use of metallic utensils. Continuous arcing, however, can damage the unit. Stop the programme and check the utensil.
Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resistant glassware utensils are excellent for use in the microwave oven. Although microwave energy will not heat most glass and ceramic items, these utensils can become hot as heat transfers from the food to the container. The use of oven gloves to remove dishes is recommended.
Food safety
- Do not heat food in a can in the microwave oven. Always remove the food to a suitable container.
- Deep fat frying should not be done in the microwave oven, because the fat temperature cannot be controlled, hazardous situations can result.
- Popcorn may be prepared in the microwave oven, but only in special packages or utensils designed specifically for this purpose. This cooking operation should never be unattended.
- Pierce foods with nonporous skins or membranes to prevent steam buildup and bursting. Apples, potatoes, chicken livers, and egg yolks are examples of items that should be pierced.
- The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.

Warning! Liquids or other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.

Warning! Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container.

Warning! When heating liquids, e.g. soups, 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:
- Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
- Do not overheat.
- Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time.
- After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container.

Warning! Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers - for example, closed glass jars - may explode and should not be heated in this oven. Occasionally, poached eggs may explode during cooking. Always pierce the yolk, then cover and allow the standing time of one minute before removing cover.

It is quite normal for steam to be emitted around the door, or for misting to occur on the door, or even for water droplets to appear below the door during the cooking cycle. This is merely condensation from the heat of the food and does not affect the safety of your oven. The door is not intended to seal the oven cavity completely.

Helpful hints and tips
Microwave hints
- Always keep the oven clean - avoid spillovers and do not forget to clean under the glass tray and the inside of the door.
- Preferably use round or oval casseroles with a lid when cooking in your microwave oven.
- Do not use metal or metal decorated casseroles. Certain plastic materials can melt and be warped by hot food.
- Cover the food when cooking. Use a glass lid, a plate or grease proof paper.
- Pastry, bread and the like can be defrosted directly in a bread basket or on a paper towel.
- If frozen food is heated in its packaging, the packaging should be opened. Packaging containing metal or metal decoration must not be used unless specifically recommended for use in the microwave. Remove metal clips and wire ties.
- Smaller pieces of aluminium foil can be used to cover parts that easily over cook such as chicken legs.
-
Food with peel or skin should be pierced with a fork - e.g. potatoes and sausages. Do not boil eggs in the microwave oven as they can explode.
-
Put large, thick pieces close to the edge of the casserole and try to cut the food in to even sized pieces. Always place the food in the centre of the oven.
- The food will be evenly cooked if you stir or turn it a few times.
- Always set a shorter cooking time than indicated in your recipe to avoid over cooking. The larger the amount of food the longer it takes.
- Use little or no water for vegetables.
- Use less salt and spices than for 'normal' cooking.
- Season afterwards.
- Allow a few minutes 'standing' time after the oven has switched off to ensure complete and even cooking results.
- Always ensure food is piping hot throughout before serving.
- Use pot holders or gloves when taking dishes and food from the oven.
Microwave tips
- Softening Honey
If you have a jar of honey which has crystallised, remove lid and place the jar in the oven, microwave on medium power for 2 minutes.
- Melting Chocolate
Break 100g of chocolate into squares, place in a bowl and heat on high power for 1-2 minutes and stir well.
- Softening or Melting Butter
Melting takes a few seconds on high power. Softening is best done more gently on low power.
- Freshen or Warm Bread
Use medium power for few seconds.
- Peeling Garlic easily
Heat 3 or 4 cloves of garlic on high power for 15 seconds. Squeeze at one end until the clove pops out.
- Fruit Juice
Citrus fruits will yield more juice if they are heated on high power for 15 seconds before squeezing.
- Cooking Porridge
Porridge is easily cooked in the serving dish with no sticky pan to wash. Follow food manufacturers' recommendations.
Care and cleaning
Cleaning is the only maintenance normally required.

Warning! Your microwave oven should be cleaned regularly, removing all food remains. If the microwave is not kept clean its surfaces may deteriorate, reducing the oven's working life and possibly resulting in a dangerous situation.

Warning! Cleaning should be done with the oven power switched off. Take the plug out of the socket or switch off the oven's power circuit.
Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning products, scourers that scratch surfaces or sharp objects, since stains may appear.
Do not use high pressure or stream jet cleaning appliances.
Accessories
Clean the accessories after each use. If they are very dirty, soak them first of all and then use a brush and sponge. The accessories can be washed in a dish washing machine. Make sure that the turntable plate and the respective support are always clean. Do not switch on the oven unless the turntable and the respective support are in place.
Front surface
Normally you just need to clean the oven with a damp cloth. If it is very dirty, add a few drops of dish washing liquid to the cleaning water. Afterwards, wipe the oven with a dry cloth.
Use a glass cleaning product and a soft cloth that does not release any fibres or threads. Wipe from side to side without exerting any pressure on the surface.
Immediately remove lime, fat, starch or egg white stains. Corrosion can occur under these stains.
Do not let any water get inside the oven.
Oven interior
After each time the oven is used, clean the inside walls with a damp cloth since this is the easiest way to remove splashes or spots of food that may have stuck to the inside.
To remove dirt that is harder to shift, use a non-aggressive cleaning product. Do not use oven sprays or other aggressive or abrasive cleaning products.
Always keep the door and the oven front very clean to ensure that the door opens and closes properly.
Make sure water does not enter the microwave ventilation holes.
Regularly take out the turntable plate and the respective support and clean the cavity base, especially after any liquid spillage.
Do not switch on the oven without the turntable and the respective support being in place.
If the oven cavity is very dirty, put a glass of water on the turntable and switch on the microwave oven for 2 or 3 minutes at maximum power. The steam released will soften the dirt which can then be cleaned easily using a soft cloth.
Unpleasant odours (e.g. after cooking fish) can be eliminated easily. Put a few drops of lemon juice in a cup with water. Put a spoonful of coffee in the cup to avoid the water
boiling over. Heat the water for 2 to 3 minutes at maximum microwave power.
