1PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES

TO PREVENT EXCESSIVE CONTACT WITH MICROWAVE ENERGY

•Do not attempt to operate this microwave oven with an opened door since operating the microwave oven with an open door can lead to being exposed to hazardous microwaves. It is important not to break open or manipulate the safety lock.

•Do not tuck anything between the oven front and door and ensure that no impurities or residues from cleaning agents gather on the sealing surfaces.

•Do not operate the microwave oven if damaged.

It is of utmost importance that the door of the oven closes properly and that there is no damage to:

-the door (bent), - hinges and locks (broken or loose),

-door seals and sealing surfaces.

Have the appliance re-set or repaired by the listed customer service branch or respectively qualified skilled staff only.

2IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES

When using electrical appliances elementary precautionary measures must be adhered to for your safety, including:

WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fires, injuries or excessive contact with microwaves:

Read all instructions prior to use.

•Use this appliance only according to its intended purpose and as directed in this manual. Do not use any corrosive chemicals or vapours for this

equipment. This type of oven is designed especially for heating, cooking or drying foods. It is not designed for industrial use or use in laboratories.

•Do not operate the microwave when empty.

•Do not operate this appliance if damage is visible to the cable or plugs, if it does not operate properly or is damaged or has been dropped.

If the power cable is defect it must be replaced by the manufacturer or his maintenance partner or similarly qualified skilled staff so as to avoid any danger.

•WARNING: Allow the unsupervised operation of the microwave by children only after carefully instructing them on how to operate the microwave to ensure the risk-free use of the oven and that children understand the risks in the event of improper handling.

•To minimise the risk of fire in the microwave: Keep an eye on the microwave at all times when

heating food in plastic or paper containers since the materials may ignite.

•Remove wire closures from paper or plastic bags before placing them in the microwave.

•Should you notice smoke, switch off the appliance or disconnect the plug and keep the door closed so as to suffocate possible flames.

•Do not use the inside of the microwave for storage. Do not leave paper articles, cooking utensils or food in the microwave if it is not being used.

•WARNING: Fluids and other food must not be heated in tightly sealed containers as they may explode.

When heating beverages in the microwave, spattering may be delayed if the beverage is brought to boil. Please handle the container with particular care.

•Do not deep-fry in the microwave. Hot oil may damage microwave parts and utensils or even lead to skin burns.

•Eggs in their shell and hard boiled eggs should not be heated in the microwave as they may even explode after microwave heating has been terminated.

•Pierce thick-skinned foods such as potatoes, whole pumpkins, apples, and chestnuts before cooking.

•The content of baby bottles and baby jars should be stirred or shaken.

Caution: Prior to consumption check the temperature in order to avoid life-threatening burns to the baby.

•Cooking utensils may heat up from the heat exerted by the food and may have to be handled with an oven cloth only.

Cooking utensils should be checked as to suitability for use in microwave ovens.

WARNING: Maintenance and repair work which requires the removal of the cover which serves as protection against microwaves endangers the life of persons other than skilled staff.

BEFORE CONTACTING CUSTOMER SERVICES

If the microwave is not working:

-Verify that the plug is correctly connected to the outlet. If not, completely disconnect the plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds and then reconnect.

-Check if a fuse has blown and if the voltage safety switch is still on. If both seem to operate correctly, test the outlet with another appliance.

-Check if the control panel programming is correct and if the timer has been set.

-Check if the door has been firmly closed, with the lock of the door engaged, otherwise the generation of microwaves in the oven is blocked.

If none of the above remedies the problem, contact the named customer services branch or a qualified expert. Do not attempt to modify or repair the appliance independently.

INSTALLATION

Ensure that the packaging materials have been completely removed from the inside of the door. WARNING: Inspect the oven for damages such as a distorted or bent door, damaged door seals and seal surfaces, defect or loose door hinges and locks as well as grooves on the inside or on the

door. If there is visible damage, do not operate the oven and consult a qualified maintenance expert.

•This microwave must be placed on a level, stable base which can bear the microwave's own weight plus the heaviest food which most likely will be cooked in the microwave.

•Do not position the microwave at a location where heat, dampness or high humidity arise, and do not place it close to inflammable materials.

•To function properly the oven requires sufficient air circulation. Allow for 20 cm of space above the oven, and 10 cm behind, and to the sides 5 cm respectively.

•Do not cover or block any openings of the appliance. Do not remove the microwave's feet.

•Do not operate the oven unless the glass turntable, rotating ring, and drive shaft have been correctly positioned.

•Check if the power cable is not damaged and does not lead underneath the oven through or over

a hot or sharp surface. The outlet must be freely accessible to be able to remove the plug in the event of an emergency.

•Do not use the oven outdoors.

EARTHING

The present appliance must be earthed. This oven is equipped with a cable featuring an earth lead with earth plug. This requires a specially installed and earthed wall connection. In the event of a short circuit the earthed connection prevents the risk

of an electric shock via the discharge cable. It is recommended to use an independent electric circuit for the oven which supplies the oven only. The use of high voltage is dangerous and can cause fires and other accidents which may damage the oven. WARNING: The improper handling of the earth plug can lead to the risk of an electric shock.

Note:

If you have any questions regarding earthed connections or the electric instructions ask an electric expert or maintenance specialist.

Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can accept liability for damage to the oven or for personal injury resulting from the non-observance of the procedure for the electrical connections. The wires of this electric main can be identified according to the follo wing colour code:

Green and yellow = earth; blue = NEUTRAL brown = current bearing

Technical Notes

RADIO INTERFERENCE

GUIDELINE ON COOKING DISHES

Operating the microwave can lead to interference with your radio, television or similar equipment. In the event of such interference the following measures can help reduce or eliminate such interference:

-Clean the door and sealing surface of the oven.

-Redirect the receiving antenna of the radio or television.

-Place microwave at another place than where the receiver is.

-Remove the microwave from the receiver.

Plug the microwave into another outlet so that the microwave and receiver are supplied by a different leg of the power circuit.

COOKING WITH YOUR MICROWAVE

The ideal material for a microwave oven is microwave permeable, i.e. it allows energy to pass through the container in order to heat the food. Only use a temperature sensor recommended for this oven. Microwaves can not permeate metal. For this reason, do not use metal containers or metal dishes. Do not use any products made of recycled paper when heating in the microwave as they may contain minute metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires. It is recommended to use round/oval dishes instead of square/oblong dishes since food caught in the corners may easily boil away.

•Arrange your food with consideration.

•The thickest parts should be close to the edge.

•Observe the cooking time. Select the shortest cooking time and extend it if need be. Food cooked excessively long can start smoking and ignite.

•Cover the food while cooking with a lid. The lid will prevent the food from spattering and contributes to the even cooking of the food.

•Turn the food during microwave preparation once so that e.g. chicken or Hamburger dishes are more quickly cooked.

•Large foods such as roast meat must be turned at least five times.

•Rearrange food items like meat balls completely after half of the cooking time has passed by turning them and rotating those which previously were at the centre of the dish, to the edge.

The bottom table is a general guideline for choosing the correct dishes.
