IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

GENERAL

HIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED FOR DOMESTIC USE ONLY!

T

HIS APPLIANCE IS INTENDED to be used built-in. Do

T

not use it freestanding.

THIS APPLIANCE IS INTENDED for heating food and
beverages. Drying of food or clothing and
heating of warming pads, slippers, sponges,
damp cloth and similar may lead to risk of
injury, ignition or fire.

THE APPLIANCE SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED without food
in the oven when using microwaves. Operation in
this manner is likely to damage the appliance.

F YOU PRAC TISE OPERATING the oven, put a glass

I

of water inside. The water will absorb the mi­crowave energy and the oven will not be dam­aged.

O NOT USE THE CAVITY for any storage purposes.

D

REMOVE WIRE TWIST-TIES from paper or
plastic bags before placing bag in
the oven.

DEEPFRYING

D

O NOT USE YOUR MICROWAVE oven for deep-frying,

because the oil temperature cannot be
controlled.

LIQUIDS

G. BEVERAGES OR WATER. Overheating the liquid

E.

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:

1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.

2. Stir the liquid before placing the container
in the oven and let the teaspoon remain
in the container.

3. After heating, allow standing for a short
time, stirring again before carefully re­moving the container from the oven.

CAREFUL

A

LWAYS REFER to a microwave cookbook for de-

tails. Especially, if cooking or reheating food
that contains alcohol.

A

FTER HEATING BABY FOOD or liquids in a

baby bottle or in a baby food
jar, always stir and check the
temperature before serving.
This will ensure that the heat is evenly distributed
and the risk of scalding or burns can be avoided.

Ensure the Lid and the Teat is removed be­fore heating!

U

SE HOT PADS OR OVEN MIT TS to prevent burns,

when touching containers, oven parts, and
pan after cooking.

ACCESSORIES

GENERAL

HERE ARE a number of accessories available on

T

the market. Before you buy, ensure they are
suitable for microwave use.

E

NSURE THAT THE UTENSILS YOU USE are oven proof

and allow microwaves to
pass through them before
cooking.

W

HEN YOU PUT FOOD AND ACC ESSORIES in the micro-

wave oven, ensure that they do not come in
contact with the interior of the oven.

This is especially important with accesso­ries made of metal or metal parts.

I

F ACCESSOR IES CONTAIN ING METAL come into con-

tact with the oven interior, while the oven is
in operation, sparking can occur and the oven
could be damaged.

LWAYS ENSURE that the turntable is able to turn

A

freely before starting the oven.

START PROTECTION / KEY LOCK

TURNTABLE SUPPORT

SE THE TURNTABLE SUPPORT under the

U

glass turntable. Never put any oth­er utensils on the turntable sup­port.

 Fit the turntable support in the oven.

GLASS TURNTABLE

U

SE THE GLASS TURNTABLE with all cooking meth-

ods. It collects the dripping juic­es and food particles that other­wise would stain and soil the in­terior of the oven.

 Place the Glass turntable on the turntable

support.

WIRE RACK
USE THE WIRE RACK when cooking
with Grill functions.

THIS AUTOMATIC SAFETY FU NCTION IS ACTIVATED ONE

MINUTE AFTER the oven has returned to

“stand by mode“. (The oven is in
“stand by” when the 24-hour clock is
displayed or if the clock has not been
set, when the display is blank).

THE DOOR MUST BE OPENED AND CLOSED e.g. putting
food into it, before the safety lock is released.
Else the display will show “DOOR”.

DONENESS (AUTO FUNC TIONS ONLY)

D

ONENESS IS AVAILA BLE in most of the auto func-

tions. You can control the end result through
the Adjust doneness feature. This feature en­ables you to achieve higher or lower end tem­perature compared to the default standard
setting.
WHEN USING one of these functions the oven
chooses the default standard setting. This set­ting normally gives you the best result. But if
the food you heated became too warm to eat
at once, you can easily adjust this before you
use that function the next time.

THIS IS DONE BY SELECTING A DONENESS LEVEL with the
+/- buttons right after you have pressed the
Start button.

FOOD CLASSES (AUTO FUNCTI ONS ONLY)

WHEN USING THE AUTO FUNCTIONS the oven needs
to know which food class it is to use to reach
proper results. The word FOOD and a food
class digit is displayed when you are choosing
a food class with the +/- buttons.

T

HE FOOD CLASSES are listed in the tables placed

with each Auto function.

COOLING DOWN

WHEN A FUNCTION IS FIN ISHED, the oven may carry
out a cooling procedure. This is normal.
After this procedure the oven switches off au­tomatically.
IF THE TEMPERATURE IS HIGHER THAN 50°C, “HOT”
and the current cavity temperature is dis­played. Be careful not to touch the cavity in­side when removing food. Use oven mitts.
IF THE TEMPERATURE IS LESS THAN 50°C, the 24 hour
clock is displayed.
PRESS THE BACK BUTTON to temporarily
view the 24 hour clock when “HOT” is
displayed.
THE COOLING PROCED URE can be inter­rupted without any harm to the oven
by opening the door.

FOR FOOD NOT LISTED IN THE TABL ES and if the
weight is lesser or greater than recommended
weights, you should follow the procedure for
”Cook & Reheat with microwaves”.
