Installing Your Microwave Oven

Place the oven on a flat level surface 85 cm above the floor. The surface should be strong enough to safely bear the weight of the oven.

1. When you install your oven, make sure there is adequate ventilation for your oven by leaving at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space behind and on the side of the oven and 20 cm (8 inches) of space above.

1. Remove all packing materials inside the oven.
2. Install the roller ring and turntable. Check that the turntable rotates freely. (Turntable type model only)
3. This microwave oven has to be positioned so that the plug is accessible. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be

replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. For your personal safety, plug the cable into a proper AC earthed socket.

Do not install the microwave oven in hot or damp surroundings like next to a traditional oven or radiator. The power supply specifications of the oven must be respected and any extension cable used must be of the same standard as the power cable supplied with the oven. Wipe the interior and the door seal with a damp cloth before using your microwave oven for the first time.

Cleaning Your Microwave Oven

The following parts of your microwave oven should be cleaned regularly to prevent grease and food particles from building up:

• Inside and outside surfaces - Door and door seals - Turntable and Roller rings (Turntable type model only) ALWAYS ensure that the door seals are clean and the door closes properly.

Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation. 1. Clean the outside surfaces with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry. 2. Remove any splashes or stains on the inside surfaces of oven with a soapy cloth. Rinse and dry. 3. To loosen hardened food particles and remove smells, place a cup of diluted lemon juice in the oven and heat for ten minutes at maximum power. 4. Wash the dishwasher-safe plate whenever necessary. DO NOT spill water in the vents. NEVER use any abrasive products or chemical solvents. Take particular care when cleaning the door seals to ensure that no particles: - Accumulate - Prevent the door from closing correctly √ Clean the microwave oven cavity right

after each use with a mild detergent solution, but let the microwave oven cool down before cleaning in order to avoid injury.

When cleaning the upper part inside the cavity, it will be convenient to turn heater downward by 45° and clean it. (Swing heater model only)

ACCESSORIES

Depending on the model that you have purchased, you are supplied with several accessories that can be used in a variety of ways.

1. Roller ring, to be placed in the centre of the oven. Purpose: The roller ring supports the turntable.
2. Turntable, to be placed on the roller ring with the centre fitting to the coupler. Purpose: The turntable serves as the main cooking surface; it can be easily removed for cleaning. DO NOT operate the microwave oven without the roller ring and turntable.

OVEN USE

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing either the form or the colour.

You can use your microwave oven to:

Defrost

Instant Reheat/Cook

Cook

Cooking Principle.

1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron are distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly.
2. The microwaves are absorbed by the food up to a depth of about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cooking then continues as the heat is dissipated within the food.
3. Cooking times vary according to the recipient used and the properties of the food:

• Quantity and density

• Water content

- Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)

As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking continues even when you have taken the food out of the oven. Standing times specified in recipes and in this booklet must therefore be respected to ensure:

• Even cooking of the food right to the centre • The same temperature throughout the food

CHECKING THAT YOUR OVEN IS OPERATING CORRECTLY

To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the food, without being reflected or absorbed by the dish used. Care must therefore be taken when choosing the cookware. If the cookware is marked microwave-safe, you do not need to worry. The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates whether and how they should be used in a microwave oven.
