EMS2321 t English
Testing suitability of cookware Food safety
• Place the cookware in the microwave along wit h a
glass half full of water. Heat on 800 W (100%) f or
one minute. If the cookware feels hot, you shou ld
not use it. If it is just slightly warm, you can use it
for reheating but not for cooking. If t he dish is
room temperature, it is suitable for microwave
cooking.
• Paper napkins, wax paper, paper towels, plat es,
cups, cartons, freezer wrap and cardboard are
great convenience utensils. Always be sure
containers are filled with food to absorb energy
and thus avoid the possibility of overheat ing.
• Many plastic dishes, cups, freezer containers an d
plastic wraps may be used in the microwave
oven. Follow manufacturer’s instructions wh en
using plastics in the oven. Avoid using plastic
utensils with foods that have high fat or sugar
content since these foods reach high
temperatures and could melt some plastics.
Do not leave oven unattended, and look at it from
•
time to time when heating or cooking food i n
plastic, paper or other combustible containers. If
smoke is observed, keep door closed, switch the
oven off or disconnect oven until smoke stops.
Metal utensils and utensils wit h metallic trim
•
should not be used in the microwave oven, unl ess
specifically recommended for microwave use.
Containers with restricted openings, such as
•
bottles, should not be used for microwave
cooking.
Use caution when removing a lid or cover from a
•
dish to avoid steam burns.
Do not heat food in a can in the microwave oven.
•
Always remove the food to a suitable contain er.
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 non-porous skins or
•
membranes to prevent steam build-up and
bursting. Apples, potatoes, chicken livers, and
egg yolks are examples of items that should be
pierced.
WARNING: When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces
and beverages in your microwave oven, overheat ing
the liquid beyond boiling point can occu r without
evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden
boil over of the hot liquid. To prevent t his possibility
the following steps should be taken:
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow
necks.
2. Do not overheat.
3. Stir the liquid before placing the cont ainer in the
oven and again halfway through the he at ing time.
4. After heating, allow to stand in the oven f or a
short time, stirring again before carefully removing
the container.
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 b efore
removing cover.
NOTE:
Do not force the turntable to rotate by han d. This
•
may cause malfunctioning.
Arcing in the oven during microwave operation
•
usually occurs from use of metallic ut ensils.
Continuous arcing, however, can damag e the
unit. Stop the programme and check the utens il.
Care should be taken not to obstruct any air vents
•
located on the top, rear, side and bottom of the
oven.
Do not use this oven for commercial purposes.
This oven is made for domestic u se on l y.

GETTING STARTED
Unpacking
N.B. When you unpack the oven, check that the
product is free from damage. Damage or any missing
parts must be reported immediately to the ret ailer.
The oven, parts of the oven or the accessories may
be wrapped by a protection foil. If so, you must
remove this foil before using the oven. Do not leave
packing material so that small children can play wit h
it. This can be hazardous.
Installation
1. Remove any promotion lab el from the door.
2. Install the oven on a flat, level surface. The
surface must be strong enough to safely bear the
weight (17.5 kg) of the oven, and the content s. To
avoid the possibility of causing vibration or noise
the oven must be in a stable position.
3. Keep the oven away from heat and w at er.
Exposure to heat and water can lower oven
efficiency and lead to malfunctioning, so be sure
to install the oven away from heat and water
sources.
4. Do not block air vents on the top and t he sides of
the cabinet and also do not place any articles on
the top of the oven. If air vents are blocked durin g
operation, the oven may overheat, and this may
lead to malfunctioning. Hot air escapes from the
vents, so be sure not to obstruct it or let curtains
come between the oven and the rear wall.
5. Place the oven as far away from radios an d T V ’s
as possible. This oven does conform to EEC
requirements* of radio interference suppression,
but some interference may occur if it is placed too

as possible.
6. If positioned in a corner, leave a gap of at least
5,0 cm from the walls to meet ventilation
demands.
Important! The oven can be placed alm ost anywhere
in the kitchen. Make sure the oven is placed on a flat,
level surface and that vents as well as the surfac e
underneath the oven are not blocked (for sufficient
ventilation).
Connecting to the mains
The oven is delivered with the power cord an d a plug
for 230V, 50Hz, earthed socket outlet. Earth
protection minimises the risks should a short-circuit
occur. Check to ensure the voltage of the oven
matches the supply.
N.B. If the oven is connected to the socket via an
extension cord, make sure the cord is earthed.
WARNING! This appliance must not be us ed on a
non-earth protected power supply.
Contact an electrician if you are uncert ain regarding
electrical connection of the oven or prov ision of earth
protection of the supply.
This appliance must be earthed. If t his appliance is
fitted with a non-rewireable plug for which your socket
is unsuitable, the plug should be cut of f and the
appropriate plug fitted. If it is necessary to change the
fuse in a non-rewireable plug, the fuse cover must be
refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the plug
must not be used until a replacement is obtai ned.

Microwave 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, t he
•
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 t o
•
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 t he
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 through out
•
before serving.
Use pot holders or gloves when taking dishes and
•
food from the oven.
Softening Honey
•
If you have a jar of honey which has
crystallised, remove lid and pl ac e 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 juic e 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 cleanin
The oven must always be clean. Residue of food from spillovers or spatters will attract microwave energy
causing it to burn on. This could reduce the eff iciency of the oven and may cause bad odours. Do not attempt
to tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to any part of the oven. Repairs should only be done by a
qualified service technician.
Be sure the oven is disconnected from the electricity supply before cleaning.
Cleaning the accessories (turntable and support)
Clean them with mild detergent after removing them from the cavity. The turntable supp ort should be carefully
handled.
CAUTION: The inside of the oven and t urnt able get very hot, so do not touch them immediately af t er use.
Cleaning the interior
Always keep the inside of the oven clean. Wipe up spillovers and food spatters immediately. Deposits that are
allowed to remain on the oven walls, door seal and door surface will absorb microwave energy, reduce the
efficiency of the oven, and possibly damag e the oven interior. Use mild, liquid deterg ent, warm water and a
soft, clean cloth to remove deposits.
NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS, COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS OR STEEL WOOL PADS ON
ANY PART OF THE MICROWAVE OVE N.
To loosen difficult deposits, boil a cup of water in the microwave oven for 2 or 3 minutes.
NEVER USE A KNIFE OR ANY UTENSIL TO REMOVE DEPOSITS FROM OVEN SURFACES.
To remove odours from the oven interior, boil a cup of water plus 2 tablespoons of lemon juice f or 5 minutes.
Cleaning the exterior
Open the oven door when cleaning the control panel. This will prevent the oven f r om being turned on
accidentally. You should clean outside surfaces of the oven with mild liquid deterg ent and water followed by a
wiping with clear water to remove any excess detergent. Dry with a soft cloth.
Spray-on window cleaners or all purpose spray-on kitchen cleaners can also be used. Never use abrasive
cleaners, scouring pads or harsh chemicals on outside surf aces of your oven. To prevent damage to the
working parts, do not allow water to seep int o ventilation openings.
