FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS - MW 651 DELONGHI

Quels types de récipients puis-je utiliser dans le four à micro-ondes ?

Utilisez des récipients en verre (Pyrex), céramique, porcelaine, faïence sans décorations métalliques. Le plastique résistant à la chaleur est acceptable uniquement pour la fonction micro-ondes. Évitez le métal, le bois, le papier kraft recyclé. Pour le gril seul, tous les récipients allant au four sont acceptés.

Comment décongeler des aliments avec ce four ?

Tournez le bouton de fonction sur le symbole de décongélation (⚙) et réglez le temps. Les aliments congelés dans des emballages en plastique sans métal peuvent être placés directement. Remuez et retournez les aliments pendant la décongélation. Respectez les temps indiqués dans le tableau de la notice.

Que faire si des étincelles se produisent à l'intérieur ?

Arrêtez immédiatement le four. Les étincelles sont souvent causées par l'utilisation de récipients métalliques ou d'objets métalliques. N'utilisez jamais de métal en mode micro-ondes ou combiné. Assurez-vous que le four n'est pas vide en fonctionnement.

Comment nettoyer le four micro-ondes ?

Débranchez l'appareil et laissez-le refroidir. Nettoyez l'intérieur et l'extérieur avec un chiffon doux et du savon neutre ou un détergent liquide. Ne jamais utiliser de produits abrasifs, de paille de fer ou d'alcool. Nettoyez régulièrement le plateau tournant et son support à l'eau savonneuse (ils passent au lave-vaisselle).

Puis-je préchauffer le four en mode micro-ondes ou combiné ?

Non, ne préchauffez jamais le four en mode micro-ondes ou combiné, car cela pourrait provoquer des étincelles. Le four doit toujours contenir des aliments lorsqu'il fonctionne.

Pourquoi de la condensation se forme-t-elle à l'intérieur ?

C'est normal lors de la cuisson d'aliments contenant de l'eau. La vapeur se condense sur les parois intérieures ou la grille de cuisson. Pour réduire la condensation, couvrez les aliments avec un film plastique ou un couvercle.

Le four ne s'allume pas, que vérifier ?

Vérifiez que la porte est bien fermée, que la fiche est correctement enfoncée dans la prise, que la prise fonctionne (testez avec un autre appareil) et que le bouton de temps n'est pas sur zéro. Si le problème persiste, contactez un service agréé.

Quel est le niveau de puissance maximal et comment le choisir ?

La puissance micro-ondes maximale est de 750 W. Utilisez les niveaux inférieurs pour décongeler (160-260 W), réchauffer (400-560 W) et cuire (700-900 W selon la capacité). Voir les tableaux de cuisson dans la notice pour des conseils précis.

Peut-on utiliser le gril et le micro-ondes en même temps ?

Oui, le four propose trois niveaux combinés (combi 1, 2, 3) qui utilisent à la fois le micro-ondes et le gril. Ces modes sont idéaux pour les gratins, les rôtis et les volailles. Suivez les indications des tableaux de cuisson.

Comment remplacer l'ampoule intérieure ?

L'ampoule doit être remplacée par un service après-vente agréé. N'essayez pas de la changer vous-même. Vous pouvez continuer à utiliser le four même si l'ampoule est grillée.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Read carefully these instructions and keep for future reference

1) WARNING: If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a competent person (trained by the manufacturer or by its Customer Service).
2) WARNING: It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

3) WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode even after microwave heating has ended.

4) WARNING: Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.

5) Do not attempt to operate the oven with the door open by tampering with the safety devices.

6) Do not operate the oven if objects for any kind get stuck between the front panel of the oven and the door. Always keep the inside of the door (E) clean, using a damp cloth and non-abrasive detergents. Do not allow dirt or remains of food to accumulate between the front panel of the oven on the door.

7) If the supply cable has been damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or the technical service centre or by a qualified person so as to avoid all risks.

8) If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and KEEP THE DOOR CLOSED in order to stifle any flames.

9) Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. In order to avoid overheating and the consequent risk of fire, it is advisable to supervise the oven

when cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, cardboard or other inflammable materials, and when heating small quantities of food.

10) Never place the turntable in water after it has been heated for a long time. The high thermal shock resulting would break the turntable.

11) When cooking "Only MICROWAVE" and "COMBINED WITH MICROWAVE", you absolutely must not pre-heat the oven (without foodstuffs in it) and you must not operate it when it is empty, because you might cause sparking.

12) Before using this oven, check to be certain that the utensil and containers chosen are suitable for microwave oven use (see the section on "Glassware and Similar Items").

13) During the use the appliance becomes hot. Do not touch the heating elements inside the oven.

14) When heating liquids (water, coffee, milk, etc.) it is possible that the contents may suddenly start to boil and spill violently as a result of delayed boiling, causing scalding. To avoid this happening, you should place a heat-resistant plastic spoon or a glass rod in the container before starting to heat liquids. Anyway, care shall be taken when handling the container.

15) Do not heat spirit with a high alcohol content, nor large quantities of oil, as these could catch fire!

16) The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature shall be checked before consumption in order to avoid burns. It is also advisable to stir or shake the food in order to ensure that it has an even temperature.

When using commercially available bottle sterilisers, before turning the oven on, ALWAYS make sure the container is filled with the quantity of water indicated by the manufacturer.

N.B. When the oven is used for the first time it is possible that, for a period of approx. 10 minutes, it may produce a "new" smell and a small amount of smoke. This is only a result of protective substances applied to the heating element. Ventilate the room during this operation.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Connect this equipment only to electrical outlets having a capacity of at least 10A.

Before using this oven, check to make certain that the electrical network is the same as that indicated on the equipment's data plate and that the electrical

outlet is connected to an efficient grounding (earth) terminal. The manufacturer shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for harm or damage caused by failure to observe this norm.

• Electrical Connection for UK only .....see page 39

INSTALLATION

1) After having removed the oven from its box, check to make certain that the turntable spindle (D) is correctly fitted into its housing. Place the turntable support (G) in the middle of the cooking chamber and set the turntable (F) on top of it. The spindle (D) must be inserted in the related turntable housing.
2) Check to make certain that this equipment has not been damaged in transport and check especially to see if the door opens and closes correctly.
3) Set the oven on a flat, steady surface at least 85 cm. above the floor and out of the reach of small children, because when the oven is operating its door can get very hot.
4) After having placed the oven on its work level, make sure that there is still a free space of at

20 cm 5 cm fig. 1

least 5 cm. between the over surfaces and the side as well as back walls, and a free space of at least 20 cm. above the oven (see Fig. 1). Also check to make sure the feed cord is not touching the appliance's rear wall, because the wall itself can get very hot while the grill is being used.

G L A S S W A R E A N D S I M I L A R I T E M S

You can make use of all types of containers made of glass (preferably Pyrex), ceramics, porcelain and glazed pottery as long as they do not have decorations or metal parts (gilded borders, handles, feet). Heat resistant plastic containers can also be used, but only for "Microwave Only" cooking. If you are still doubtful about using a particular container, you can perform a simple test. Place the empty container in the oven for 30 seconds at maximum power ("Microwave Only" function). If the container is still cold or only slightly warm, it is suitable for microwave cooking. If it is very hot or gives out sparks, it is not suitable. For short heating periods, you may use paper napkins, cardboard trays and plastic "throwaway" plates as a base. As far as shape and size are concerned, it is absolutely essential that containers be such as to allow the turntable to rotate. In order to use large-size rectangular

containers (which may not be able to rotate inside the cooking cavity), you can remove the spindle (D) from its housing to prevent the turntable (F) moving. Bear in mind that to be assured of good results when carrying this out you must stir the food and turn the container around several times during the cooking process. Containers made of metal, wood, recycled kitchen paper, cane and plate glass are not suitable for use in microwave ovens. The metal rack supplied with your microwave have been fully tested for safe use. You should remember, too, that since microwaves heat the food and not the glassware, earthenware or similar containers for that food, it is possible to cook such foods in the serving dish and thereby avoid the problem of having to clean pans later. If the oven is used in its grill only functions, any type of oven container may be used (see chart).

ADVICE ON USING YOUR OVEN CORRECTLY

Microwaves consist of electromagnetic radiation found in nature under the form of light waves (e.g., sunlight). Inside the oven, these waves penetrate food from all directions and heat up the water, fatty and sugar molecules.

Heat is produced very quickly only in the food itself, whereas the container being used warms up indirectly by means of heat given off by the heated food. This prevents food from sticking to its container, so you can use very little fatty sub-

stance or, in some cases, no fat at all during the cooking process.

Therefore cooking in a microwave oven is considered to be healthy and good for one's diet.

And in contrast to traditional methods, cooking in a microwave foodstuffs are less dehydrated, lose less of their nutritional value, and retain more of their original flavour.

Basic rules for correct cooking with a microwave oven

1) In order to set cooking times correctly, remember (in referring to the charts on the following pages) that when you increase the amount of foodstuffs the cooking temperature must likewise be proportionately increased and vice-versa. It is important to respect the "standing" times: standing time means that period during which the food must be left to "rest" after being cooked so as to allow an even greater spreading of the temperature within. The temperature of meat, for example, will rise about 5^ - 8^ C. (approx. 9^ - 15^ F.) during the standing time. Standing times may be observed either inside or outside the oven.

2) One of the main things you must do is stir the food several times while it is being cooked. This helps make the temperature distribution more uniform and thus shortens the cooking time.

3) It is also advisable to turn the foodstuff over during its cooking process: this applies especially for meat, whether it is in large pieces (roasts, whole chickens, etc.) or small (chicken breasts, etc.).

4) Foods having a skin, shell or peel (e.g., apples, potatoes, tomatoes, frankfurters, fish) must be pierced with a fork in several points so as to permit steam to escape and to prevent those items from exploding (see Fig. 4).

5) If you are preparing a large number of portions of the same food item (e.g., boiled potatoes), place those portions in a Pyrex dish in order to have them cook in a uniform manner (see Fig. 5):

6) The lower the temperature at which a foodstuff is placed in a microwave oven, the longer the cooking time required. Food having a room temperature will cook more quickly than food having a refrigerator temperature.

7) Always do your cooking by placing the food container in the centre of the turntable.

8) It is perfectly normal for condensation to form inside the oven and near the air outlet. To reduce such condensation, cover the foodstuffs with clear-sheet, wax paper, a glass lid or simply an overturned plate. Then, too, foods having a water content (e.g., greens and vegetables) cook better when covered. The covering of food also helps keep the oven clean on the inside. Use clear-sheet made expressly for microwave ovens.

You can interrupt operations any time you wish simply by turning the Time knob to the "0" position. You can also change the cooking time (while the foodstuff is being cooked) simply by turning this same knob forward or backward. You can check on the situation while the cooking is in progress by opening the door and examining the food. That move will interrupt the oven's operations, but they will begin again once the door has been closed.

MICROWAVE

USING THE MICROWAVE-ONLY FUNCTION TO KEEP FOOD HOT

• Turn the function knob to the ⏻ position and set the desired time on the timer knob.
• This function enables you to keep food hot, whether that food be just cooked or re-heated, without having it get dry or stick to its container.
• You can leave foods in their cooking container if they are covered.

USING THE MICROWAVE-ONLY FUNCTION FOR DEFROSTING

• Turn the function knob to the ⚙ position and set the desired time on the timer knob.
• Foods frozen in bags or plastic sheeting or in their packaging may be placed directly in the oven, as long as they have no metal parts (e.g., bands or closure rivets).
• Certain foods, such as greens, vegetables and fish, do not generally require defrosting before you begin cooking them.
• Stewed foods and meats as well as meat sauces defrost better and quicker if they are stirred from time to time, turned over or broken cup.
• While defrosting, meat and fish lose their liquid content. It is recommended, therefore, that you defrost such items in a tray or basin.
• It is advisable to separate each individual piece of meat from its bag before putting it in the freezer. This will help you save valuable time will preparing foods.
• Be careful about following the timings printed on frozen products, because they are guideline and may not always be correct. It is best to use defrosting times slightly less than those indicated. The time needed for defrosting will vary in terms of the degree to which the food has been frozen.

MICROWAVE

USING THE MICROWAVE-ONLY FUNCTION FOR RE-HEATING

Heating food in a microwave oven is much quicker and energy efficient than traditional methods.

• We recommend that you heat foodstuffs (especially if they are frozen) to a temperature of at least
70°C. (it must be piping hot!). Leave to stand for a few minutes as you will not be able to eat that food immediately because it will be too hot.
- This will ensure that any possible bacteria present in food will have been killed.
• To heat pre-cooked or frozen foods, follow these rules:

• remove the food from its metal containers;
• cover it with plastic wrap (the clear-film type suitable for microwave ovens) or wax paper; in this way, all the food's natural flavour will be preserved and the oven will stay cleaner; you may also cover the food with an upside-down plate;
• if possible, stir or turn the food over frequently so as to speed up the heating process and keep the heat uniform at the same time;

• follow the cooking times listed with great caution; remember that under certain conditions the timings given must be lengthened

• Frozen foods must be defrosted before the heating process begins. The lower the food's initial temperature, the longer the time needed for heating.

• Foodstuffs and drinks may be heated briefly in paper or plastic containers. In any event, however, such containers may become misshapen if the heating time is too long.

MICROWAVE

USING THE MICROWAVE-ONLY FUNCTION FOR COOKING

MEATS

When using the microwave-only function to cook meat, you should cover the meat with plastic wrap made for microwave oven use; in this way, the heat is distributed better and you will prevent the loss of juices that often leads to dried-up and stringy meat. This oven function is suitable for making stews, goulash, chicken breasts, etc. To prepare roasts and skewered meat dishes (among others), you must use the combined function.

FISH

In a microwave oven, fish can be prepared very quickly and with excellent results. You can season it with a little oil or butter (or not season it at all, if you so prefer). Cover the fish with clear-sheet. The skin is to be slit, of course, and filleted fish must be placed in a uniform fashion. We recommend that you not use this oven to cook fish which has been dipped in egg batter.

GREENS AND VEGETABLES

Greens and vegetables cooked in a microwave oven retain more of their colour and nutritional value than when cooked in traditional ovens. Before cooking greens and vegetables, wash and clean them.

Larger-sized varieties of this category are to be cut up into uniform pieces.

Per every 500 gr. of greens or vegetables add about 5 teaspoons of water (fibre-type vegetables need more water). Greens and vegetables must always be covered with plastic wrap.

Stir greens and vegetables at least once at the halfway point. Add a little salt only at the end.

(*) These indications are suitable for carrying out the minced meat cooking test in accordance with IEC regulation 705, test C. Cover the container with a transparent film for microwave oven, perforated in several places. Further instructions, also with regard to other performance tests in accordance with IEC regulation 705, are shown in the table on page 2.

SOUPS AND RICE

• Soups or broth usually require a smaller amount of liquid because the evaporation in microwave ovens is rather limited. Because it is a dehydrating agent, salt must be added only when the cooking is finished or during the standing time.
• It is correct to say that the temperature required for cooking rice in a microwave oven (as is true also for pasta) is more or less the same as that needed to cook this foodstuff over a burner on a regular stove. The advantage of preparing a risotto dish in a microwave oven lies in the fact that you do not have to stir the rice constantly (two or three times is enough).

The ingredients are placed in a container suitable for microwave ovens and covered with plastic wrap (for about 300 gr. of rice, you need 750 gr. of broth with the oven programmed at top power for about 12 to 15 minutes). In addition, the rice will not stick to the bottom of its container and, since it can be cooked in a tureen or some other such receptacle to be brought to the table, you will not have to transfer that rice to a serving plate.

FRUIT AND BAKED GOODS

Baked goods rise (at lower oven power) much more than then do with regular baking. Since no crust is formed, it is better to garnish the surface portions with cream or icing (e.g., chocolate); in addition, you must keep the item being baked fully covered, because such foodstuffs tend to dry out more quickly than those baked in a regular oven. Fruit is to be pierced if cooked with its peel on and is to be kept covered: it is essential that you adhere to the standing time (3 to 5 minutes).

USING THE MICROWAVE-AND-GRILL SEQUENCE FUNCTION FOR COOKING

This setting is ideal for microwave cooking as well as for browning foodstuffs and giving them an au gratin coating. You must, however, keep the following in mind:

• the oven is never to be pre-heated;
• do not spunkle with seasonings (just use 1/2 glass of water to keep the meat soft);
• turn over roasts and large pieces of meat half way through cooking.
- to check the situation while cooking is in progress, open the oven door. This will stop the microwave and grill functions: in this case, however, oven gloves should be used, as the top surface is very hot. To resume the cooking, simply close the oven door.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before beginning any cleaning or maintenance, always pull this oven's plug from the electrical outlet and wait for the oven itself to cool down completely

Cleaning

To maintain your appliance in the best condition, the door and the inside and outside of the oven should be cleaned regularly, using a soft cloth and neutral soap or liquid detergent. Always keep the microwave outlet cover (C) free of fat or splashed grease.

Never use abrasive detergents, steel wool or sharp metal utensils. In addition, when cleaning the outside of the oven, be careful not to let water or liquid detergent seep into the air outlet and steam slots located atop the appliance.

We likewise recommend that you do not use alcohol, abrasive detergents or ammonia-based detergents to clean the inside and outside door surfaces.

To ensure perfect closing, always keep the inside of the door clean, and do not let dirt and food residue get caught between the door and the oven's façade.

Clean the air inlet holes located on the back of the oven regularly so that no dust or dirt will build up over time to obstruct those holes.

soft c etergents de door and de OK!

its support (I) and clean

From time to time, it will be necessary to remove the turntable (H) and its support (I) and clean them, just as it will be necessary to clean the bottom of the oven.

Wash the turntable and its support in warm soapy water with neutral soap. These parts may also be cleaned in a dishwasher.

Do not place the turntable in cold water after the oven has been hot for a long time. The strong thermal shock could cause the turntable to break.

The turntable's motor is sealed tight. When you are cleaning the bottom of the oven, however, be careful not to let water seep under the turntable spindle (D).

If something seems not to be working just right .....

If you should discover a flaw or defect, contact a Service Centre authorised by the manufacturer. In any case, before calling our technicians, you should carry out the following simple checks:

p r o b l e m	c a u s e / r e m e d y
The oven is not working	The door is not properly closed.The plug is not properly inserted in the electric outlet.The outlet is not supplying power (check the building's fuse box).The Time knob has not been set correctly
Condensation on the cooking rack and inside the oven.	When foods containing water are being cooked, it is completely normal for the steam generated within the oven to escape and to condense either inside the oven or on the cooking rack.
Sparks inside the oven.	When using the microwave-only and combined functions, do not turn the oven on unless there is already food inside it.When cooking by microwaves, do not use metal containers, bags, or packages with metal clips.
The food is not heating sufficiently	Select the correct power level or increase the cooking time.The food was not completely defrosted before being cooked.
The food is burning	Use the correct cooking method or lower the cooking time.
The food is not cooking evenly	Stir the food while it is being cooked. Remember that foodstuffs cook better when cut into uniform pieces.The turntable is blocked (check that the spindle D is correctly positioned).

In case oven-light is burned, you may continue to use the oven anyway. To replace the light, contact authorised Assistance.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (U.K. ONLY)

A) If your appliance comes fitted with a plug, it will incorporate a 13 Amp fuse. If it does not fit your socket, the plug should be cut off from the mains lead, and an appropriate plug fitted, as below.

WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug after removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket elsewhere in the house as this could cause a shock hazard.

With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit must be protected by a 15 Amp fuse.

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green and yellow:

Blue:

Brown:

Earth

Neutral

Live

If the plug is a moulded-on type, the fuse cover must be re-fitted when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta approved fuse to BS 1362. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must NOT be used until a replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your nearest electrical dealer. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that as marked on the base of the plug.

B) If your appliance is not fitted with a plug, please follow the instructions provided below:

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The green and yellow wire must be connected to the terminal in the plug marked with the letter E or the earth symbol 12 or coloured green or green and yellow.

The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured black.

The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured red.
