Before use

Remove all packaging material and wipe the microwave oven on the inner and the outer surfaces with a damp cloth before you use it for the first time (please note that the insulating plate (the mica plate) in the oven cavity should NOT be removed!). Check the oven for any visible damages and make sure that there is no leakage in the oven cavity.

Position the microwave oven on a stable and even surface leaving a space of at least 10 cm at each side, 30 cm at the back and 85 cm above floor level to ensure free circulation of air. Note that the microwave oven must not be built into or placed in a cabinet.

General safety instructions

- WARNING: If the door or the door sealing has been damaged, do not operate the oven until it has been repaired by a qualified person.

• WARNING: It is hazardous for anyone other than a trained person to carry out any service or repair operation that involves the removal of any part that gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.
• Never use the oven for other purposes than the preparation of food and not for e.g. drying of cloth, paper or other non-food products or for sterilizing objects.
• Do not operate the oven when empty, as this may damage the oven.
• Do not use the microwave oven for storage of e.g. paper, kitchen utensils or similar.
• The microwave oven is not designed for pickling. Raw materials that have not been properly pickled may rot and affect your health.
• Do not heat whole eggs or hard-boiled eggs in the microwave oven, as they may explode even after the termination of the microwave heating.
• Food covered by a heavy skin such as apples, tomatoes, potatoes etc. should be pierced with several holes before cooking in the microwave oven in order to avoid steam from being accumulated inside, which may bring them to explosion.
• Do not cover the air vents and do not insert any object in the openings of the outer cabinet.
• Never try to remove parts from the microwave oven, such as feet, screws, the cord or the mica plate that protects against radiation.
• Never prepare food directly on the rotating dish in the microwave oven, but put the food on a plate/in a container etc. that are made for use in microwave ovens.

Important!

Always cover the food with a lid (not at the grill or hot air functions) or a microwave safe cling film (pierce a number of holes in the film). Food scraps in the cavity may ignite and in the worst case catch fire.

• Only use utensils (dishes, plates etc.) that are suitable for use in a microwave oven.
• Due to the risk of ignition, always keep an eye on the oven when food is being heated in a plastic or paper container.
• If smoke is observed in the microwave oven, switch off the appliance and unplug. Keep the door closed to extinguish any flames.
• When you use the grill function for the first time there may be some smoke and smell. This us due to remaining steam on the heating element and does not mean that the microwave oven is defective.

Never use:

• Bowls of metal or containing enamel parts/decorations.
• Roasting bags with an inner side of tinfoil/metallic threads.
• Melamine bowls (such as Rosti bowls, Margrethe bowls).
• In order to avoid sparks that may damage the oven, never use aluminium or metal containers. This is also the case when you use the combination programme. Use bowls of glass/porcelain.

• If you only use the microwave function of the oven, do not use the metal grid.

• Always check the temperature of heated food to avoid any burns – in particular when heating baby food. If gruel is heated in a feeding bottle, shake the bottle and test the temperature of the gruel before feeding the child.

• After heating in the microwave oven, always keep the food 30 to 60 seconds in the oven to enable the heat to spread evenly and to prevent the food from "bubbling", when a spoon or another utensil is put in the food.
• When heating a liquid in the microwave oven, the boiling point may be reached without producing any visible bubbles. So be careful when removing the container.
• WARNING: Liquids and other foodstuffs must not be heated in closed containers due to the risk of explosion.
• Always follow the instructions and remember that some foodstuffs heat very quickly. You should also notice that foodstuffs with a high content of sugar should not be heated in plastic containers.
• Kitchen bowls can become very warm during preparation, especially if they are covered with a lid or a microwave safe cling film. We therefore recommend that you use oven gloves when taking the container out of the microwave oven.

Any damage caused by the above or similar faulty use is not covered by the warranty.

Cleaning and maintenance

Clean the oven at regular intervals and remove any food scraps. If the oven is not kept clean, the surfaces

may deteriorate and the lifetime of the appliance may be considerably shortened and a dangerous situation may occur. Unplug the appliance before cleaning. Never use scouring or etching detergents, as such products may damage the inner and outer surfaces.

The following parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth, possibly with a mild washing-up liquid:

• External surfaces and the control panel
• Rotary wheel and the bottom of the oven
- The oven door and adjacent parts.
• The glass dish is dishwasher safe.

If there is vapour on the oven door, wipe the door with a damp cloth.

Remove odours by placing a bowl with lemon water (squeezed lemon + water) in the microwave oven. Put the microwave function at top efficiency for 5 minutes and wipe with a damp cloth. For cleaning the glass part, use only glass and window cleaners.

When cleaning, please pay special attention to the following:

• Avoid water from penetrating into the air vents and make sure that the control panel does not get wet.
• Never use scouring products and sharp metal objects for cleaning the glass of the oven door, as such products may scratch the glass and make the glass break.
• Do not use steam cleaners for cleaning of the oven.

• Take care that the rotary wheel is positioned correctly after cleaning.
- It is particularly important that the door and the inner part of the oven are kept clean.

- The insulation plate (the Mica plate) inside the cavity of the oven shall be kept clean with a damp cloth. If the plate is very greasy or if it has a very dark colour, it should be replaced by an authorized person, as it may catch fire.

Utensils that can be used in the microwave oven

Advice on microwave cooking

With the microwave oven you have the opportunity to cook exciting food and dishes quickly and easily. In the following you will find a number of different recipes for dishes which can be tried out while getting familiar with the oven and all its options and features.

All cooking times in our recipes are based on 800 Watts and are approximate, depending on e.g.:

The thickness of the ingredients

The texture of the ingredients

The freshness of the ingredients

Fresh or frozen ingredients

The thickness of the ingredients

Furthermore, we refer to the conversion table on the last page of the manual which can be used for recipes intended for microwave ovens with a lower or higher effect.

When cooking in the microwave oven, it is always a good idea to check the food from time to time during cooking. We also recommend that you start with a cooking time shorter than given in the recipes in order to prevent the food from overcooking. You can open the oven door during cooking – the oven stops automatically when the oven door is opened, and restarts easily. Read more about this in the instruction manual. We recommend that you try your way.

When defrosting it is a good idea to allow the meat to rest for a while after defrosting and to turn over the meat when half the defrosting time has elapsed.

The size of the container used in the microwave oven should match the amount of food. So, do not use too large containers, but use containers with rather tall sides.

Vegetables should be of uniform size. If some vegetables are considerably larger than others, the cooking time for these vegetables must be expected to be longer.

If the microwave oven has a grill function, and the grill function is used for browning the food, a grill time longer than in a conventional oven must be expected.

Always use oven gloves when removing a container from the oven as the heat from the food quickly distributes into containers and dishes, which can make them very hot.

Always use a lid or microwave resistant cling film during cooking.

You achieve the best results if the dish is allowed to rest for up to 5 minutes after cooking in the microwave oven. This allows for the heat to distribute uniformly inside the food.
