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:

Avoid using straight sided containers with narrow necks.

Do not overheat.

Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time.

After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stir or shake them again carefully and check the temperature of them before consumption to avoid burns (especially, contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars).

230 V~, 50 Hz

When you unpack your microwave oven from its box, please check it immediately for damage. If the door is damaged or bent, if there are dents inside the oven etc., get in touch with your retail outlet immediately.

Using a microwave oven safely

WARNING: If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a trained person.

Connecting up your microwave oven

The oven requires a mains electrical connection of 230 V ~ / 50 Hz with a 15 Amp. fuse.

Only insert the plug into properly installed electrical sockets. If in doubt contact an electrician.

Faulty connections can start fires and create other risks and prevent the oven from working correctly. DAEWOO is not liable for any damage due to faulty connection.

A defective power cable must be replaced by a qualified technician with an new special replacement cable from DAEWOO.

Prior to use! The grill elements of your oven have been covered by a coating in order to protect during transporting and storage.To remove the coating heat the elements about 5 minutes (bad odour):

Place a bowl suitable for microwaves, not too small, filled with 0,2 l water or more into the oven chamber. See chapter "Easy grilling" and start grilling with the time set to 5:00 minutes.

MICRO WAVES an d O V E N

°C

Program cook

When preparing ready-to-serve food (like TV dinners) always carefully follow the instructions provided by the food manufacturer on the package and also the tips and guidelines contained at the end of this manual.

Cooking safely with microwaves

Microwaves are high frequency electromagnetic waves like radio waves. They create heat by causing the molecules in water, fat and sugar to vibrate. They only penetrate a certain depth (e.g. approx.

25 mm into meat) and this heat is then conducted to the rest of the item being cooked.

Tableware must be suitable for use in a microwave oven.

For example, dishes made of temperature resistant glass, ceramics, porcelain and plastic (in the case of combination cooking it should also be fireproof).

Never place closed metal containers into your microwave oven - the microwaves are reflected and the food will not get warm.

In the case of TV dinners the food can be left in the aluminium tray with the top removed.

Microwaves can damage any crockery with gold or silver decoration.

Never place food in the oven in closed containers - the container could explode.

Food with a skin or peel can explode. Never place eggs in a microwave. When cooking items such as potatoes, chicken livers etc., puncture the skin using e.g. a fork to allow steam to escape.

Never heat spirits (alcoholic drinks) to high temperatures; they may self-ignite.

When heating small amounts of liquid (e.g. a cup of tea/coffee), place a spoon in the cup to prevent boiling over.

Food which has been cooked with a microwave continues to cook after the oven is switched off.

Before allowing others, in particular children or older people, to eat food or drinks from the microwave oven check that the temperature of the food is acceptable (danger of burning/scalding).

Help the heat to spread uniformly by stirring and turning, in particular after only short heating periods.

Never turn the microwave oven on without food in the chamber - it might overload and get damaged.

Metal items, e.g. dishes, should not touch the walls of the oven, this can cause sparking and could cause a fire.

Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs shall not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode.
