Testing suitability of cookware
•Utensils should be checked to ensure they are suitable for use in Microwave Ovens.
•Place the cookware in the microwave along with a glass half full of water. Heat on (800W) (100%) for one minute. If the cookware feels hot, you should not use it. If it is just slightly warm, you can use it for reheating but not for cooking. If the dish is room temperature, it is suitable for microwave cooking.
•Paper napkins, wax paper, paper towels, plates, 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 overheating or ignition.
•Many plastic dishes, cups, freezer containers and plastic wraps may be used in the microwave oven. Follow manufacturer’s instructions when 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 in plastic, paper or other combustible containers.
•Metal utensils and utensils with metallic trim should not be used in the microwave oven, unless 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.
7.The container and turntable may become hot during use, take great care when removing either from the oven. It is advisable to use an oven cloth or glove when doing so.
8.Remember when using an aluminium foil container that the reheating or cooking times may be longer than you are used to, always ensure that the food is piping hot before serving.
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 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.
•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.
m WARNING : Liquids or other foods
Foil containers
Shallow foil containers may safely be used to reheat foods in your microwave oven providing the following rules are observed:
1.Foil containers should not be more than 3 cms (1 1/4”) deep.
2.Foil lids must not be used.
3.The foil containers must be at least two-thirds full of food. Empty containers must never be used.
4.Foil containers should be used singly in the microwave oven and should not be allowed to touch the sides. If your oven has a metal turntable or cooking rack, the foil container should be placed on an upturned oven-proof plate.
5.Foil containers should never be re-used in the microwave oven.
6.If the microwave oven has been in use for 15 minutes or more, allow it to cool before using it again.
must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
m WARNING : Microwave heating of
beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container.
m 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:

EME1925 |
English |
1.Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
2.Do not overheat.
3.Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time.
4.After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container.
•Do not force the turntable to rotate by hand. This may cause malfunctioning.
•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.
•Care should be taken not to obstruct any air vents located on the top, rear, side and bottom of the oven.
m 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.
m WARNING : Do not use this oven for
commercial purposes. This oven is made for domestic use only.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS !
&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.

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 retailer.
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 with it. This can be hazardous.
Installation.
1.Remove any promotion label from the door.
2.The oven should be installed on a flat, level surface. The surface must be strong enough to safely bear the weight (13.5 kg) of the oven, and the contents. 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 water. 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 the sides of the cabinet and also do not place any articles on the top of the oven. If air vents are blocked during 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 and TV’s as possible. This oven does conform to EEC requirements of radio interference suppression, but some interference may occur if it is placed too close to a radio or TV, so keep them as far apart as possible.
6.If positioned in a corner, leave a gap of at least 15 cm from the walls and 17 cm above the microwave.
IMPORTANT! The oven can be placed almost anywhere in the kitchen. Make sure the oven is placed on a flat, level surface and that vents as well as the surface underneath the oven are not blocked (for sufficient ventilation).
Connecting to the mains
The oven is delivered with the power cord and 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.
m WARNING : This appliance must not
be used on a non-earth protected power supply. Contact an electrician if you are uncertain regarding electrical connection of the oven or provision of earth protection of the supply.
m WARNING : This appliance must be
earthed. If this appliance is fitted with a non-rewireable plug for which your socket is unsuitable, the plug should be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted. If it is necessary to change the fuse in a nonrewireable 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 obtained.
m WARNING : It is hazardous for
anyone other than factory trained service personnel to carry out any service or repair operation that involves the removal of a cover that gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.
m WARNING : 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.
