Important Safety instructions.

READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

The built-in safety interlock switches prevent the microwave oven from operating when the door is open.

Do not tamper with them, or attempt to operate the oven with the door open as open door operation can result in exposure to microwave energy.

Do not allow food spills or cleaner residue to accumulate on door sealing surfaces. See the Cleaning and Care section for cleaning instructions.

Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water.

Do not attempt to dry clothing or newspapers in the microwave oven. These items can ignite.

Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.

The temperature of accessible surfaces may be high when the appliance is operating.

It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) door (warped), (2) hinges and latches (broken or insecure), (3) door seals and sealing surface.

m WARNING : If the door,

hinges/latches or door seals are damaged, the microwave must not be operated until it has been repaired by a authorized service person.

m WARNING : It is hazardous for

anyone except factory trained service personnel to service or make adjustments to this oven. Contact your nearest authorised service agent if service should be required.

Do not remove the outer case, door or control panel at any time. Doing so may cause exposure to extremely high voltage.

Install or locate this oven only in accordance with ‘installation instructions’ found in this manual.

Use the appliance for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or defrost food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use neither for commercial use as this will invalidate the guarantee.

Do not operate the oven empty. If food or water is not present to absorb the microwave energy, the magnetron tube can be damaged.

m WARNING : If smoke is observed,

switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames. Never use water.

m WARNING : Only allow children or

infirm persons to use the microwave, without supervision, when adequate instructions have been given so that the child or infirm person is able to use the microwave in a safe way and understand the hazards of improper use.

Utensil safety

Only use utensils that are suitable for use in a microwave oven.

Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resistant glass-ware utensils are excellent for use in the micro-wave oven. Although microwave energy will not heat most glass and ceramic items, these utensils can become hot as heat transfers from the food to the 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 with a glass half full of water. Heat on (900W) (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.

EMS2840

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.

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.

English

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

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:

6

EMS2840

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.

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.

&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.

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.

Safety instructions when cooking with grill, combination modes.

1.The glass viewing window may break if water is spilled on it during grill cooking.

2.Be sure to use an oven glove when loading and unloading the oven. Containers get very hot in the oven, so be careful not to burn yourself. The turntable and metal rack also get very hot so be sure to use an oven glove when handling them.

3.Do not touch the inner or outer viewing window with metal components when loading or unloading the oven. The inside of the door and oven get very hot so take care when attending food in the oven.

4.Do not put the turntable or containers in cold water or try to cool them quickly after use.

5.Do not place items on top of the cabinet. The top of the cabinet gets very hot, so anything placed on it may be damaged by the heat.

6.Preheat your oven only when using the Grill, never when using microwave or combination modes (Microwave and Grill)

m Warning : When the appliance is used in combination mode, Children should only use the oven under adult supervision due to the temperature generated.

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 (17 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 10 cm from the walls and 10 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.

mThis 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.

mThis appliance must be earthed. If this

appliance is fitted with a non-rewireable plug for which your socket is unsuitable, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
