Using a microwave oven safely
The right place for your microwave oven
SHOULD KNOW!
Things you
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.
Never use the microwave oven if it is damaged. It is particularly
important that the door closes properly. The door should not be distorted, the hinges and latch should not be broken, bent or loose, and the seals must be in perfect condition.
This microwave oven contains no user-serviceable components. Any
adjustments or repairs must be performed by a qualified technician.
Never use the oven with the door open. There is the risk of being
exposed to dangerous microwave energy. Never manipulate or tamper with the safety locks and the hinges of the door.
Keep the seals and seal surfaces clean and free of contamination
like food remains and cleaner residue.
The oven should not be adjusted or repared by anyone except
properly qualified service personnel. It is hazardous for anyone other than a trained person to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of any cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.
Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when
adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.
Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive
boiling, therfore care has to be taken when handling the container.
Use the microwave oven for cooking purposes only.
Do not use it to dry animals, clothing, paper or other objects or for sterilisation or as a storage space for books, cooking utensils etc.
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.
The microwave oven should stand on a flat, stable surface. This
appliance is designed for standing only.
The area immediately around the oven should be free to allow the
circulation of fresh air for cooling.
Do not place the microwave oven near a radio or television set etc.
This might cause interference.
Never place the oven where it is exposed to convection, steam or
humidity.
The minimum height of free space necessary above top surface of
the oven is 150mm.
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).

Cooking safely with microwaves
and OVEN
MICROWAVES
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.
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.
If you think there is a fire in the oven (smoke), leave the door closed,
switch the unit off (press STOP several times) and disconnect from the mains electricity supply.

Tips and guidelines
APPENDIX
Wait time
Microwaves do not usually completely penetrate the food on the rotary plate. The wait times allow the food to continue cooking even after the oven has switched off. The temperature can rise by up to 8° C inside the food. After heating food in the microwave, let it stand in the oven for a short time to allow the temperature to equalise. The wait time depends on the weight, volume and density of the food (and can be up to 10 minutes).
How to cook food without overcooking (drying, charring etc.)
Select the right cooking level.
Select the right cooking time. Times quoted in recipes are approximate and
depend upon initial temperature, weight, density of food etc.
Always use microwave-suitable dishes.
Defrosting
Defrosting is faster in flatter dishes than in higher dishes.
Divide large pieces of food into smaller pieces for faster defrosting.
Cover the smaller pieces when they start to warm up.
Do not defrost completely under power, let the food stand for a while.
Amount
To warm up more food you need more time. Rule of thumb: double the food, double the time (almost).
Initial temperature
The colder the food, the more time is needed.
Different foods
When cooking a meal with various ingredients remember that fat and sugar heat up faster than water. This means that ingredients with higher fat and sugar contents will have higher temperatures after cooking than those containing water. The more dense a food, the longer it takes to cook/defrost. Very dense foods, like meat, take much longer to warm up than say sponge cake.

Combi cooking with utensil bar
- This oven is available for rotisserie cooking by using accessories (utensil bar, forks) during combi cooking instead of rotisserie function key.
- Ideal for chicken and medium - sized cuts of meat.
- The rotisserie turns food as it cooks.
To use the rotisserie
Slide the food on the utensil bar and secure with forks.
Insert the utensil bar into the motor shaft on the left wall and place the other part of
utensil bar on the guide rotary on the right wall.
Select the proper function (combi mode etc.) for rotisserie and input power level,
temperature, and time. (refer to cookbook)
Start the operation.
Cooking with microwaves differs in some aspects from normal cooking. The guidelines and tips below will help you get better results using a microwave oven.
KOC-985TB-English 99.11.24 4:50 PM Page 12
ENGLISH
APPENDIX
Skins, peels, shells ...
Some foods have a skin or peel or a shell (eggs, potatoes, apples, liver, sausages). Puncture the skin or peel with for example a fork to allow steam to escape and the food to expand - this releases pressure and prevents the food from bursting.
Water
Cooking in a microwave needs very little water. For 100 g of vegetables or potatoes, use 1 tablespoon of water.
Covering food
Food can be covered with foils or tops which let microwave through in order
to prevent splashing
to shorten the cooking time and/or
to retain any natural moisture in the food (➝ Microwave suitable dishes and utensils).
Arranging food - size and shape
To achieve the shortest cooking times and the best results it is sometimes useful to arrange the food in a certain way.
Small pieces cook faster than big pieces. Pieces of the same size cook more evenly than different sized pieces. In the case of irregularly shaped pieces, the thin sections will cook faster than the thick sections. When cooking several of the same item, e.g. stuffed tomatoes, arrange them on the rotating plate in a
circle to achieve even cooking. When cooking irregularly shaped items or food with different thicknesses, place the smaller or
thinner parts in the middle and the thicker (denser) parts towards the outside. Alternatively, cover thinner parts with a piece of aluminium foil to prevent drying or charring.
Where possible, place fish with the tail towards the centre, slit the skin to prevent the skin tearing or bursting open. Another possibility is to cover the head and the tail ends with aluminium foil to prevent premature drying or charring.
When warming up pre-cooked meals, place the thinner and lighter items towards the middle, the heavier and denser items towards the outside of the plate.
Place thin slices (e.g. bacon) on top of one another (fully or partially). Arrange sausages close together. Drinks, sauces and gravy should be heated in separate containers. Fill tall narrow vessels only
3
/4 full.
Stir or turn the food every now and then to help spread the heat more evenly.

Before calling your technical service, check the following:
Oven doesn't work?
Is the power supply correctly connected?
Is the oven door shut?
Has a cooking time been set?
Has the house mains switch disconnected or the fuse blown?
Sparks in the oven?
Is there metal, or a dish with metal edges or aluminium foil, in the
oven? Metal must never touch the inner walls of the oven.
Turn the microwave on without food in oven?
Although switching the oven on for short periods will cause no
damage, it is not recommended.
Use the oven without the rotating plate?
No – always ensure that the rotating plate and its support ring are
correctly inserted.
Open door during cooking?
The door can be opened at any time during an operation (e.g. to stir,
turn over). The oven switches the operation off immediately. Any settings are kept and when the door is closed again the operation can be continued by pressing START, or cancelled by pressing STOP.
Condensation on oven walls and/or door?
Condensation on the inner surfaces is normal when cooking water
containing food.
Can microwaves pass through the door window?
No – the window is made of a special glass which lets no
microwaves through.

Microwave suitable dishes and utensils
APPENDIX
15
Care and maintenance
Microwave suitable dishes are transparent to microwaves (i.e. made of such materials as
plastic, glass and ceramics), especially when also fireproof. Suitable dishes only become slightly warm after one minute microwave cooking at high power.
Dishes unsuitable for microwave ovens are all metal dishes which reflect microwaves. Also unsuitable for microwaves are dishes made of lead glass, dishes with metal applications (gold edged), paper or plastic containers which cannot withstand high temperatures (120° C).
If in doubt, check for information such as "microwave suitable".
Bear in mind that this appliance is not only a microwave unit.
Any dishes must also be fireproof when used with the grill or convection.
Dishes, foils and covers should never be allowed to touch the walls of the
oven compartment.
Best cooking results are achieved if not only the material but also the shape of the dish is suitable. Round dishes promote more even heating, whereas in square or rectangular dishes the food can easily dry out or char in the corners.
Food in flat dishes will cook more evenly. Small pieces of aluminium foil are good for covering any vulnerable sections (e.g. the thin flat
tail end of a fish).
Although this microwave oven is fitted with state-of-the-art safety arrangements ...
never manipulate or tamper with the door locks or hinges,
make sure the seals and seal surfaces are free of contamination e.g. food remains or
cleaner residues. Clean the oven – especially the seal areas of the door – with a mild cleaning agent. Do not use any abrasive agents or abrasive pads.
Make sure the oven door is not mistreated (e.g. that children don't swing on it). Do not use
the oven if it is damaged. It is especially important that the door closes properly. The door must have no distortions, the hinges and locks must not be broken, bent or loose and the seal surfaces must not be corroded.
Power Supply
Check your local power source. This oven requires a current of approximately 13 amperes,
230V, 50Hz.
Power supply cord is ablut 1.2 meter long.
The voltage used must be the same as specified on this oven. Using a higher voltage may
result in a fire or other accident causing oven damage. Using low voltage will cause slow cooking. We are not responsible for damage resulting from use of this oven with a voltage of ampere fuse other than those specified.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent
or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
