•
described in this manual. Do not use corrosive
chemicals in this appliance. This type of oven is
specifically designed to heat, cook, or def rost
food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory
use neither for commercial use as this will
invalidate the guarantee.
Do not operate the oven empty. If food or water is
•
not present to absorb the microwave energy, t he
magnetron tube can be damaged.
Utensil safety
Only use utensils that are suitable for use in a
•
microwave oven.
Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resistant
•
glass-ware utensils are excellent for use in the
micro-wave oven. Although microwave energy wi ll
not heat most glass and ceramic items, these
utensils can become hot as heat transfers fr om
the food to the container. The use of oven gl oves
to remove dishes is recommended.
Testing suitabi lity of cookware
Utensils should be checked to ensure they are
•
suitable for use in Microwave Ovens.
Place the cookware in the microwave along wit h a
•
glass half full of water. Heat on (800W) (100 %) for
one minute. If the cookware feels hot, you sh ould
not use it. If it is just slightly warm, you can use it
for reheating but not for cooking. If the dish is
room temperature, it is suitable for microwave
cooking.

EMM2005 t
English
• Paper napkins, wax paper, paper towels, plat es,
cups, cartons, freezer wrap and cardboard are
great convenience utensils. Always be sure
containers are filled with food to absorb energy
and thus avoid the possibility of overheat ing or
ignition.
• Many plastic dishes, cups, freezer containers an d
plastic wraps may be used in the microwave
oven. Follow manufacturer’s instructions when
using plastics in the oven. Avoid using plastic
utensils with foods that have high fat or sugar
content since these foods reach high
temperatures and could melt some plastics.
Do not leave oven unattended, and look at it from
•
time to time when heating or cooking food in
plastic, paper or other combustible containers.
Metal utensils and utensils with metallic trim
•
should not be used in the microwave oven, unl ess
specifically recommended for microwave use.
Containers with restricted openings, such as
•
bottles, should not be used for microwave
cooking.
Use caution when removing a lid or cover from a
•
dish to avoid steam burns.
Foil container s
Shallow foil containers may safely be used to reh eat
foods in your microwave oven providing the f ollowing
rules are observed:
1. Foil containers should not be more than 3 cms
(1 1/4”) deep.
2. Foil lids must not be used.
3. The foil containers must be at least two-thirds f ull
of food. Empty containers must never be used.
4. Foil containers should be used singly in the
microwave oven and should not be allow ed to
touch the sides. If your oven has a metal turntable
or cooking rack, the foil container should be
placed on an upturned oven-proof plate.
5. Foil containers should never be re-used in t he
microwave oven.
6. If the microwave oven has been in use for 15
minutes or more, allow it to cool before using it
again.
7. The container and turntable may become hot
during use, take great care when removing eith er
from the oven. It is advisable to use an oven cloth
or glove when doing so.
8. Remember when using an aluminium foi l
container that the reheating or cookin g times may
be longer than you are used to, always ensure
that the food is piping hot before serving.
Food safety
Do not heat food in a can in the microwave oven.
•
Always remove the food to a suitable container.
Deep fat frying should not be done in the
•
microwave oven, because the fat temperature
cannot be controlled, hazardous situat ions can
result.
Popcorn may be prepared in the microwave oven,
•
but only in special packages or utensils designed
specifically for this purpose. This cooking
operation should never be unattended.
Pierce foods with non-porous skins or
•
membranes to prevent steam build-up and
bursting. Apples, potatoes, chicken livers, and
egg yolks are examples of items that should be
pierced.
The contents of feeding bottles and baby f ood jars
•
are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is
to be checked before consumption, in order t o
avoid burns.
WARNING : Liquids or other foods
must not be heated in sealed containers
since they are liable to explode.
WARNING : Microwave heating of
beverages can result in delayed eruptive
boiling, therefore care must be taken w hen
handling the container.
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 th e fol low ing steps
should be taken:

Page 7
EMM2005 t
English
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow
necks.
2. Do not overheat.
3. Stir the liquid before placing the cont ainer in the
oven and again halfway through the he at ing time.
4. After heating, allow to stand in the oven f or a
short time, stirring again before carefully removing
the container.
WARNING : Some products such as
whole eggs and sealed containers – for
example, closed glass jars – may explode
and should not be heated in this oven.
Occasionally, poach ed eggs may explode
during cooking. Always pierce the yolk,
then cover and allow the standi ng ti me of
one minute before removing cover.
It is quite normal for steam to be emitted
around the door, or for misting to occur on the
door, or even for water droplets to appear
below the door during the cooking cycle. This
is merely condensation from the heat of t he
food and does not affect the safety of your
oven. The door is not intended to seal
the oven cavity completely.
• Do not force the turntable to rotate by hand. This
may cause malfunctioning.
• Arcing in the oven during microwave operation
usually occurs from use of metallic ut ensils.
Continuous arcing, however, can damage the
unit. Stop the programme and check the utens il.
• Care should be taken not to obstruct any air vents
located on the top, rear, side and bottom of t he
oven.
m WARNING : Do not use this oven for
commercial purpo ses.This oven is made
for domestic use only.

Installation.
1. Remove any promotion label from t he door.
Connecting to the mains
2. The oven should be installed on a flat , level
surface. The surface must be strong enough to
safely bear the weight (13.5 kg) of the oven, and
the contents. To avoid the possibility of causing
vibration or noise the oven must be in a stable
position.
3. Keep the oven away from heat and water.

efficiency and lead to malfunctioning, so be sure t o
install the oven away from heat and water sources.
4. Do not block air vents on the top and the sides of
the cabinet and also do not place any articles on
the top of the oven. If air vents are blocked during
operation, the oven may overheat, and this may
lead to malfunctioning. Hot air escapes from the
vents, so be sure not to obstruct it or let curtains
come between the oven and the rear wall.
5. Place the oven as far away from radios and TV’s
as possible. This oven does conform to EEC
requirements of radio interference suppression, but
some interference may occur if it is placed too
close to a radio or TV, so keep them as far apart

15 cm from the walls and 15 cm above the
microwave.
IMPORTANT! The oven can be placed almost
anywhere in the kitchen. Make sure the oven is
placed on a flat, level surface and that vent s as
well as the surface underneath the oven are not
blocked (for sufficient ventilation).
The oven is delivered with the power cord and a plug
for 220V, 60Hz, earthed socket outlet.
Earth protection minimises the risks should a short
circuit occur. Check to ensure the voltage of the oven
matches the supply.
N.B. If the oven is connected to the socket via an
extension cord, make sure the cord is earthed.
This appliance must not be used on a non-
earth protected power supply. Contact an
electrician if you are un certain regarding
electrical connection of the oven or
provision of earth protection of the
supply.
This appliance must be earthed. If this
appliance is fitted with a non-rewireable
plug for which your socket is un su itable, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly q u alified persons
in order to avoid a hazard.

Microwave Tips
Microwave Hints
English
Always keep the oven clean – avoid spill-overs
•
and do not forget to clean under the glass tray
and the inside of the door.
Preferably use round or oval casseroles with a lid
•
when cooking in your microwave oven.
Do not use metal or metal decorated casseroles.
•
Certain plastic materials can melt and be warp ed
by hot food.
Cover the food when cooking. Use a glass lid, a
•
plate or grease proof paper.
Pastry, bread and the like can be defrosted
•
directly in a bread basket or on a paper towel.
If frozen food is heated in its packaging, t he
•
packaging should be opened. Packaging
containing metal or metal decoration must not be
used unless specifically recommended for use in
the microwave. Remove metal clips and wire ties.
Smaller pieces of aluminium foil can be used t o
•
cover parts that easily over cook such as chicken
legs.
Food with peel or skin should be pierced wit h a
•
fork – e.g. potatoes and sausages. Do not boil
eggs in the microwave oven as they can explode.
Put large, thick pieces close to the edge of the
•
casserole and try to cut the food in to even sized
pieces. Always place the food in the centre of t he
oven.
The food will be evenly cooked if you stir or turn it
•
a few times.
Always set a shorter cooking time than indicated
•
in your recipe to avoid over cooking. The larger
the amount of food the longer it takes.
Use little or no water for vegetables.
•
Use less salt and spices than for ‘normal’ cookin g.
•
Season afterwards.
•
Allow a few minutes ‘standing’ time after the oven
•
has switched off to ensure complete and even
cooking results.
Always ensure food is piping hot throughout
•
before serving.
Use pot holders or gloves when taking dishes and
•
food from the oven.
Softening Honey
•
If you have a jar of honey which has
crystallised, remove lid and pl ac e the jar in the
oven, microwave on medium power for 2
minutes.
Melting Chocolate
•
Break 100g of chocolate into squares, place in
a bowl and heat on high power for 1-2
minutes and stir well.
Softening or Melting Butter
•
Melting takes a few seconds on high power.
Softening is best done more gently on low
power.
Freshen or Warm Bread
•
Use medium power for few seconds.
Peeling Garlic easily
•
Heat 3 or 4 cloves of garlic on high power for
15 seconds. Squeeze at one end until the
clove pops out.
Fruit Juice
•
Citrus fruits will yield more juic e if they are
heated on high power for 15 seconds before
squeezing.
Cooking Porridge
•
Porridge is easily cooked in the serving dish
with no sticky pan to wash. Follow food
manufacturers’ recommendations.

Care and cleanin
The oven must always be clean. Residue of f ood f r om spillovers or spatters will attract microwave energy
causing it to burn on. This could reduce the eff iciency of the oven and may cause bad odours. Do not att empt
to tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to any part of the oven. Repairs should only be done by a
qualified service technician.
Be sure the oven is disconnected from the electricity supply before cleaning.
Cleaning the accessories (turntable and support)
Clean them with mild detergent after removing them from the cavity. The turntable support should be carefully
handled.
CAUTION: The inside of the oven and t urnt able get very hot, so do not touch them immediately af t er use.
Cleaning the interior
Always keep the inside of the oven clean. Wipe up spill-overs and food spatters immediately. Deposits that are
allowed to remain on the oven walls, door seal and door surface will absorb microwave energy, reduce the
efficiency of the oven, and possibly damag e the oven interior. Use mild, liquid deterg ent, warm water and a
soft, clean cloth to remove deposits.
NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS, COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS OR STEEL WOOL PADS ON
ANY PART OF THE MICROWAVE OVE N.
To loosen difficult deposits, boil a cup of water in the microwave oven for 2 or 3 minutes.
NEVER USE A KNIFE OR ANY UTENSIL TO REMOVE DEPOSITS FROM OVEN SURFACES.
To remove odours from the oven interior, boil a cup of water plus 2 tablespoons of lemon juice for 5 minutes.
Cleaning the exterior
Open the oven door when cleaning the control panel. This will prevent the oven f rom being turned on
accidentally. You should clean outside surfaces of the oven with mild liquid deterg ent and water followed by a
wiping with clear water to remove any excess deterg ent. Dry with a soft cloth.
Spray-on window cleaners or all purpose spray-on kitchen cleaners can also be used. Never use abrasive
cleaners, scouring pads or harsh chemicals on outside surf aces of your oven. To prevent damage to the
working parts, do not allow water to seep into ventilation openings.
