Utensil safety
Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resistant glassware utensils are excellent for use in the micro-wav e
oven. Although microwave energy will not heat most
glass and ceramic items, these utensils can become
hot as heat transfers from the food to t he container.
The use of oven gloves to remove dishes is
recommended.

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 wit h a
glass half full of water. Heat on
one minute. If the cookware feels hot, you sh ould
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, 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 or
ignition.
• Many plastic dishes, cups, freezer containers an d
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 i n
plastic, paper or other combustible containers.
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.
(900W) (100%) for
Foil container s
Shallow foil containers may safely be used to reheat
foods in your microwave oven providing the f ollowing
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 f ull
of food. Empty containers must never be used.
4. Foil containers should be used singly in the
microwave oven and should not be allow ed 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 t he
microwave oven.
6. If the microwave oven has been in use for 15
minutes or more, allow it to cool before using it
again.
7. The container and turntable may become hot
during use, take great care when removing eith er
from the oven. It is advisable to use an oven cloth
or glove when doing so.
8. Remember when using an aluminium foi l
container that the reheating or cookin g 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 contain er.
Deep fat frying should not be done in the
•
microwave oven, because the fat temperature
cannot be controlled, hazardous situat ions 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 f ood jars
•
are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is
to be checked before consumption, in order t o
avoid burns.
WARNING : Liquids or other foods
must not be heated in sealed containers
since they are liable to explode.
WARNING : Microwave heating of
beverages can result in delayed eruptive
boiling, therefore care must be taken when
handling the container.
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 fol lowing steps
should be taken:
5
EME2725 U English
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers wit h 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.
WARNING : Some products such as
whole eggs and sealed containers – for
example, closed glass j ars – 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 standi ng time of
one minute before removing cover.
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 t he
food and does not affect the safet y of your
oven. The door is not intended to seal
the oven cavity completely.
• 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 damage 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.
m WARNING : Do not use this oven for
commercial purposes. This oven is made
for domestic use only.

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.
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 (19 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 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 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 15 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 vent s as
well as the surface underneath the ove n are not
blocked (for sufficient ventilation).
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.
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 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.
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 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 obtained .
WARNING : It is hazardous for
anyone other than factory train ed service
personnel to carry out any service or
repair operation that invol ves th e removal
of a cover that gives protectio n against
exposure to microwave energy.
