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).

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

WARNING: 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.

WARNING: Liquids or other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.

WARNING: 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.

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.

Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore 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.

Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check the oven frequently due to the possibility of ignition.

If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.

The right place for your microwave oven

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.

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.

MICROWAVES a n d O V E N

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.
