Warning and Safety instructions
Before connecting the appliance to
the mains supply, make sure that
the rating on the data plate
corresponds to the voltage and
frequency of the household supply. This
data must correspond in order to avoid
risk of damage to the appliance.
Consult a qualified electrician if in
doubt.
The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system, which complies with local and
national safety regulations. It is most
important that this basic safety
requirement is present and regularly
tested. Where there is any doubt, the
electrical wiring in the home should be
checked by a qualified electrician. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
- it is switched off at the wall socket and
the plug removed.
(Pull on the plug, not the cable).
- the mains fuse is withdrawn.
- or the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g.
danger of overheating).
This equipment is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as caravans, aircraft
etc. However it may be suitable for
such usage subject to a risk
assessment of the installation being
carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.
Use
Always ensure that food is
sufficiently heated.
Many factors will affect the overall
cooking time, including the size and
amount of food, its initial temperature,
changes to the recipe and the shape
and size of cooking container.
Some foods may contain
micro-organisms which are only
destroyed by thorough cooking.
Therefore when cooking or reheating
food such as poultry, it is particularly
important that it is fully cooked through
(at temperatures over 70 °C for more
than 10 minutes). If in doubt, select a
longer cooking or reheating time.
It is important that the heat is
allowed to spread evenly
throughout the food being cooked. This
can be achieved by stirring and/or
turning the food and by observing a
sufficiently long standing time, which
should be added to the time needed for
cooking, reheating or defrosting.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
Always remember that times for
cooking, reheating and defrosting
are usually considerably shorter than
with traditional methods of food
preparation.
Excessively long cooking times can
lead to food drying out and burning or
could even cause it to catch fire. There
is also a danger of fire if breadcrumbs,
flowers, herbs etc. are dried in the
microwave oven. Always ensure that
this type of procedure is supervised.
Do not use the microwave function
to heat up cushions or pads filled
with cherry kernels, wheat grains,
lavender or gel, such as those used in
aromatherapy. These pads can ignite
when heated even after they have been
removed from the microwave.
Fire hazard.
Exercise caution when cooking or
reheating food with a high sugar
content, e.g. Christmas pudding. If
heated for too long the sugar may
caramelise or ignite.
Before serving, remember to allow
a sufficient standing time and then
always check the temperature of the
actual food itself after taking it out of the
microwave. The temperature of the
container is not an indication of the
temperature of the food in it. This is
particularly important when
preparing food for babies, children,
and the elderly or infirm. Shake or stir
baby milk and food thoroughly after
heating, and try it for temperature to
ensure that it will not scald the baby.
When heating food and drink remember
that the heat is created in the food
itself, and that the container will
normally be cooler. The dish is only
warmed by the heat of the food.
When heating liquids, the boiling
rod provided should be placed in
the container.
Do not use full power to warm
empty dishes. Do not use the
appliance without food, or if it is
incorrectly loaded.
Never cook or reheat food or
liquids in sealed containers or
bottles.
With baby bottles, the screw top and
teat must be removed. Otherwise
pressure builds up which can cause
the bottle or container to explode,
posing a severe risk of injury.
10
When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc
in the oven without the boiling rod, the
boiling point of the liquid may be
reached without the production of
typical bubbles. The liquid does not
boil evenly throughout.
Warning and Safety instructions
This so-called ‘boiling delay’ can cause
a sudden build up of bubbles when the
container is removed from the oven or
shaken. This can lead to the liquid
boiling over suddenly and explosively.
Danger of burning.
The formation of bubbles can be so
strong that the pressure forces the oven
door open. The user could be injured
and the appliance damaged.
The boiling rod ensures that the liquid
boils evenly and that bubbles form at
an early stage during the operation.
To avoid fuelling any flames, do not
open the oven door if smoke
occurs in the oven interior.
Interrupt the process (by pressing the
Stop/C button twice). Switch off at the
wall socket, and where applicable
remove the plug. Do not open the door
until the smoke has dispersed.
Never heat undiluted alcohol in the
microwave oven as this can easily
ignite. Fire hazard.
Do not heat up tins in the
microwave oven. Pressure can
build up and they may explode. This
could result in injury or damage.
Do not use any containers or
cutlery made from or containing
metal, aluminium foil, lead crystal
glassware, temperature-sensitive
plastics, wooden utensils or cutlery,
metal clips or wire ties. Do not use
bowls with milled rims, or cream pots
with the tinfoil lid only partially removed.
Such items could be damaged or
cause a fire hazard. The rack supplied
with the appliance is designed to be
compatible with microwaves and can
therefore be used for griling with or
without the microwave function.
Do not leave the oven unattended
when reheating or cooking food in
disposable containers made of plastic,
paper or other inflammable materials.
Before using single use containers
make sure they are suitable for use in
microwave ovens. See appropriate
section.
Eggs can only be cooked in their
shells in the microwave oven in a
specially designed egg-boiling device
available from specialist shops.
Similarly, hard-boiled eggs should not
be reheated in the microwave oven as
this may lead to the eggs bursting,
even after they have been taken out of
the oven.
Eggs can be cooked without their
shells in the microwave oven only if
the yolk membrane has been
punctured several times first.
The pressure could otherwise cause
the egg yolk to explode.
Danger of injury.
Food with a thick skin or peel, such
as tomatoes, sausages, jacket
potatoes and aubergines, should be
pierced or the skin cut in several places
before cooking to allow steam to
escape and prevent the food from
bursting.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not reheat food in the oven in
heat-retaining bags intended for
normal ovens. These heat-retaining
bags usually contain a thin layer of
aluminium foil which relfects
microwaves. This reflected energy can,
in turn, cause the outer paper covering
to become so hot that it ignites.
Always ensure that food or a
browning dish has been placed in
the microwave, and that the turntable is
in place, before switching on.
Do not use the oven for frying food
and do not leave it unattended
when cooking with oils and fats as
these can be a fire hazard if allowed to
overheat.
Ovenproof earthenware can retain
a considerable amount of moisture.
Earthenware and porcelain containers
with hollow handles and lid knobs must
only be used in this oven if they have
vent holes which allow the moisture to
escape. Without vent holes there can
be a pressure build-up, causing the
container to crack or shatter, with the
danger of injury.
When grilling with or without the
microwave function, the rack, oven
interior, grill element, door and housing
can get hot. Do not let small children
touch the oven while it is in operation,
as there is the danger of being burnt.
Supervise its use by the elderly or
infirm.
Wear oven gloves when taking
dishes in and out of the oven, or
when handling dishes or food in the
oven if the grill is on or has just been in
operation. Danger of burning.
The rack and glass tray get hot
during grilling (with and without
microwave). Take care not to burn
yourself on them.
Never place the hot glass tray (or
any other hot cooking containers)
on a cold surface, such as a tiled or
granite worktop. The glass tray or
container could crack or shatter, and
the worktop surface could get
damaged. Use a heat-resistant mat or
wire cooling rack.
Do not use the oven to heat up the
room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects left near the oven
could catch fire.
Do not use the appliance as a
resting place for other items.
The heat from the top of the appliance
could cause some kinds of items to
melt.
To check food temperature, first
interrupt the cooking programme.
Only use a thermometer specifically
approved for use in a microwave oven
to measure the temperature of the food.
Never use a thermometer containing
mercury or liquid, as these are not
suitable for use with very high
temperatures and will break very easily.
Never use a steam-cleaning
appliance to clean the microwave
oven. Pressurised steam could reach
the electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
When using browning dishes:
Always use oven gloves when
handling the browning dish to
avoid burns.
Never place the browning dish
directly onto a table or work
surface. Use a suitable heat-resistant
mat, grid or board to protect the work
surface or table and prevent heat
marks.
Browning dishes should only be
used in a microwave oven or as a
serving dish.
In a conventional oven the special
glaze would suffer damage.
Disposal of your old appliance
Before disposing of your old
appliance first make it unusable.
Cut off and render any plug unusable.
Cut off the cable directly behind the
appliance to prevent misuse. This
should be done by a competent
person.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.

How the microwave oven functions
How does the microwave oven
function?
In a microwave oven there is a
high-frequency tube called a
magnetron. This converts electrical
energy into microwaves. These
microwaves are distributed evenly
throughout the oven interior and
rebound off the metal sides of the oven
interior to reach the food from all sides.
Microwave distribution is improved with
the turntable engaged.
In order for microwaves to reach the
food, they must be able to penetrate
the cooking utensil being used.
Microwaves can penetrate porcelain,
glass, cardboard and plastics, but not
metal. Do not, therefore, use utensils
made of metal, or which contain metal,
for example in the form of gold or silver
trim. The metal reflects the microwaves
and this could lead to the creation of
sparks. The microwaves cannot be
absorbed.
As heat is produced directly in the
food,
food can generally be cooked
–
without adding much liquid or
cooking oil.
cooking, reheating and defrosting in
–
a microwave oven is quicker than
using conventional methods.
nutrients, such as vitamins and
–
minerals, are generally retained.
the colour, texture and taste of food
–
are not impaired.
Microwaves stop being produced as
soon as the cooking process is
interrupted or the appliance door is
opened.
When the appliance is in operation, the
closed, sealed door prevents
microwaves escaping from the
appliance.
Microwaves pass through a suitable
container and find their way directly into
the food. All food contains moisture
molecules which, when subjected to
microwave energy, start to oscillate 2.5
thousand million times a second. The
friction caused by this vibration creates
heat, which first starts developing
around the outside of the food and then
slowly penetrates towards the centre.
The moisture, fat and sugar content of
food will affect the speed at which it is
cooked.
