- 45 -
Connection
DANGER! Electric shock hazard!
The device can cause injuries due to improper installation!
Before installation and connecting the local power grid
specification should be compared with that of the device
(see rating plate). Connect the device only in case of
compliance!
The electrical circuit in the socket must be secured to at least 16A (automatic fuse B).
Connect the device only to the wall socket; do not use any extension cords or power
strips.
This device must be grounded. In case of short-circuit the grounding will
protect against electric shock, because the electrical current will be released
through an additional wire. The device is equipped with a power cord with the
grounding wire and a plug with a safety contact. The power supply plug must
be connected to earthed socket, conforming to the valid regulations.
5.2 Guidelines for cooking with the microwave oven
The microwave oven has the magnetron emitting the electromagnetic waves in place of
common heat source. These waves, like radio waves, are invisible but their effects can
be observed. Such waves can pass through materials such as glass, porcelain, artificial
materials and paper. As these materials do not contain water, grease or oil, they are not
heated by the microwaves. Simply put, the microwaves directly reach the food product,
causing molecules of water, grease and oil to vibrate; friction results in the creation of
heat which is used for defrosting, heating or cooking. During cooking with microwaves,
heat remains inside the product being prepared, in opposition to the processes of boiling
or grilling in which heat enters the food from the outside. If the device is not damaged,
energy created by the microwaves remains inside the device and does not pose a threat
to the user.
Carefully place food products to be cooked inside the microwave oven, with larger
pieces at the outer edges.
Remember the cooking time. It is best to at first set the shortest possible time and
then lenghten cooking time as necessary. Excessive cooking time may cause the
food product to smoke or catch fire.
Cover food products during cooking. This will ensure even cooking and prevent
splattering.
Turn food products over while cooking. This will speed up the process of cooking
such products as chicken or hamburgers. Large products, such as a roast, should
be turned over at least once.
Such dishes as dumplings should, after half of the cooking time has elapsed, be
turned over, moved from the top to bottom, moved from the outside to the inside, etc.

5.3 Suitable dishes for use in the microwave oven
1. Check that a dish is suitable to be used in a microwave oven.
Test: place the empty dish together with a glass of water, then heat at the
highest power level for 60 seconds. Never switch the device on when empty
or with only an empty container inside. An appropriate dish will be lukewarm.
If the dish is hot, it is not appropriate for use in the microwave oven.
2. Proper materials for dishes for the microwave oven allow microwaves to pass
through. Energy goes through the container and heats the food product.
3. Do not use metallic containers or containers containing metallic parts (e.g. gold
strips around the edge of a plate). Microwaves do not pass through metal.
4. Do not use products from recycled materials, as they may contain small pieces of
metal. If such containers are used, sparks and even fire may result.
5. Dishes of oval and round shapes should be used, as food products cook more
quickly in the corners of square-shaped containers.
6. Wide, flat containers are best suited to use in the microwave oven as compared to
narrow and tall ones. Food products cook evenly in flat dishes.
7. To avoid food from baking onto the edge of dishes, you may cover the edges with
thin strips of aluminum foil. Do not use too much aluminum foil, and leave a minimum
distance of 2.5 to 3.0 cm between the foil and walls of the microwave oven’s cooking
chamber.
8. The table below will help you in selecting the proper dishes:
- 47 -

Defrosting guidelines
To defrost the frozen food remove the package and put food on the plate or in the
container suitable for the microwave ovens.
Select defrosting time with use of numeric buttons or set appropriate defrosting time
manually.
Press “20% / DEFROST” button to set the power mode.
The set defrosting time and power level are shown on the digital display.
Energy created by the microwave oven heats only the external layer of the product,
and the heat is slowly transferred inside the product. This ensures even defrosting of
the food product.
After the defrosting time has expired, an audio alarm will sound and the device will
switch off automatically. Only the interior lighting and the fan continue working for
another 60 seconds.
Cover the food products in order to quicken their heating, prevent drying out and
avoid splattering of grease in the cooking chamber.
Exceptions: break, pastries, breaded food and food products which are supposed to
remain crunchy should not be covered.
Smaller portions defrost more evenly and quicker than larger ones. Therefore, divide
food products into smamller pieces prior to defrosting. An entire meal can thus be
quickly and easily prepared.
- 55 -
Delicate food such as paste / cakes, cream, cheese or bread should be only partially
defrosted and the defrosting process should be finished at room temperature. This
way the food will not be too hot on the outside while still frozen on the inside.
The time for leaving dishes out following defrosting is very important, as it guaran-
tees continuing of the defrosting process. After defrosting the defrosted food
products should be eaten or processed further as soon as possible and should
not be frozen again.
