8. Toreducetheriskoffireintheovencavity

• Do not store flammable materials in the oven

• Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags

• Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers

• If smoke is observed, keep the oven door closed and switch off or

Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may damage the oven.

The increase in pressure may cause them to explode.
Remove lids and pierce skins, bags, etc.

Theovenwallsmaybedamaged.
Leave a glass of water inside the oven at all times. The water will
absorb the microwaves if you accidentally set the oven going when
it is empty.

The cloths or paper may catch fire as hot air is evacuated from the
oven.

Some dishes absorb microwaves and heat is always transferred
from the food to the dish. The dishes are therefore hot

These walls may be hot enough to burn skin even after cooking is
finished, oven though they do not appear to be so. Keep away from
hot spot. Do not allow inflammable materials to come into contact
with any interior area of the oven. Let the oven cool down first.

disconnect the oven from the power supply.

.

9. Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods.

• ALWAYS allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has
been switched off to allow the temperature to equalize.

• Stir during heating if necessary and ALWAYS stir after heating.

• To prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding, you should stir before,
during, and after heating.

• In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions :
* Immerse hand in cold water for at least 10 minutes.

* Cover with clean, dry dressing.
* Do not apply any creams, oils or lotions.

• NEVER fill the container to the top and choose a container that is wider at
the top than at the bottom to prevent the liquid from boiling over. Bottles
with narrow necks may also explode if overheated.

• ALWAYS check the temperature of baby food or milk before giving it to
the baby.

• NEVER heat a baby's bottle with the teat on, as the bottle may explode if
overheated.

• During microwave heating of beverages, there are results in delayed
eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when handling the
container.

10. Be careful not to damage the power cable.

• Do not immerse power cable or plug in water and keep power cable away
from heated surfaces.

• Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cable or plug.

11. Stand at arm’s length from the oven when opening the door.
Reason:

12. Keep the inside of the oven clean.

• Clean the inside of the oven right after each use with a mild detergent

13. “Clicking” sound might be noticed while operating, especially in defrosting
mode.
Reason:

The hot air or steam released may cause scalding.

solution, but let the microwave oven cool down before cleaning in order to
avoid injury.

Food particles or spattered oils stuck to oven walls or floor can
cause the damage of painting and reduce the efficiency of the oven.

When the power output is changing electrically, you may hear that
sound. This is normal.

Setting theTime

How aMicrowave Oven Works

Your microwave oven has an inbuilt clock. The time can be displayed
in either the 24-hour or 12-hour notation. You must set the clock:

• When you first install your microwave oven

• After a power failure

✉ Do not forget to reset the clock when you switch to and from

summer or winter time.

1. To display the time in Then press the Clock( )
the... button...

24-hour notation Once
12-hour notation Twice

2. Turn the dial knob( )to set the hour.

3. Press the Clock()button.

4. Turn the dial knob( )to set the minute.

5. When the right time is displayed, press the Clock()

button to start the clock.
Result:

The time is displayed whenever you are not
using the microwave oven.

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy
released enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing
either the form or the colour.

You can use your microwave oven to:

• Defrost

• Reheat

• Cook

Cooking Principle

1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron are
distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the
turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly.

2. Themicrowavesareabsorbedbythefooduptoa
depth of about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cooking then
continues as the heat is dissipated within the food.

3. Cooking times vary according to the recipient used
and the properties of the food:

• Quantity and density

• Water content

• Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)

☛ As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking

continues even when you have taken the food out of the oven.
Standing times specified in recipes and in this booklet must
therefore be respected to ensure:

• Even cooking of the food right to the centre

• The same temperature throughout the food

Checkingthat YourOven is Operating Correctly

What toDo if You are in Doubt or Have a Problem

The following simple procedure enables you to check that your oven is

GB

working correctly at all times. If you are in doubt, refer to the section
entitled “What to Do if You are in Doubt or Have a Problem” on the
next page.

✉ The oven must be plugged into an appropriate wall socket. The

turntable must be in position in the oven. If a power level other
than the maximum (100% - 900 W) is used, the water takes
longer to boil.

Open the oven door by pulling the handle on the right side of the door.
Place a glass of water on the turntable. Close the door.

1. Press the Start ( 1min+) button and set the time to 4 or
5 minutes, by pressing the ( 1min+) button the

approprinte number of times.

• Was the appropriate cooking length set for the type of food?

• Was an appropriate power level chosen?

◆ Sparking and cracking occur inside the oven (arcing)

• Have you used a dish with metal trimmings?

• Have you left a fork or other metal utensil inside the oven?

• Is aluminium foil too close to the inside walls?

◆ The oven causes interference with radios or televisions

• Slight interference may be observed on televisions or radios when the
oven is operating. This is normal.
* Solution: Install the oven away from televisions, radios and aerials.

• If interference is detected by the oven’s microprocessor, the display may
be reset.
* Solution: Disconnect the power plug and reconnect it. Reset the time.

◆ “E3” message indicates

• Prevent interior of cooking compartment from fire accident and
overheating. When interior of cooking compartment has become
overheated, cool it down enough, and make use of it under initialization
mode by pushing “ ” key.

If the above guidelines do not enable you to solve the problem, take a

Using a Crusting Plate

C100T/C100F/C101T/C101F only

Normally when cooking food, such as pizzas or pies, on a grill or in a
microwave oven, the dough or pastry becomes soggy. This can be
avoided by using a crusting plate; as a high temperature is reached
quickly, the crust turns crisp and brown.

The crusting plate can also be used for bacon, eggs, sausages, etc.

☛ Before using the crusting plate, preheat it by selecting the

combination mode for 3 to 5 minutes:

• Combination of convection (250°C) and microwaves (600 W
power level) or

• Combination of grill and microwaves (600 W power level)

• See page 19 and page 20 respectively.

1. Preheat the crusting plate, as described above.

• Use oven gloves at all times as the crusting plate will
become very hot.

2. Brush the plate with oil if you are cooking food, such as
bacon and eggs, in order to brown the food nicely.

Choosing the Accessories

Preheating the Oven

GB

Traditional convection cooking does not require any
special cookware. You should, however, use only
cookware that you would use in your normal oven.

Microwave-safe recipients are not usually suitable for
convection cooking; don’t use plastic containers,
dishes, paper cups, towels, etc.

If you wish to select a combined cooking mode
(microwave and grill or convection), use only
recipients that are microwave-safe and oven-proof.
Metallic cookware or utensils may damage your oven.

☛ For further details on suitable cookware and utensils, refer to the

Cookware Guide on page 22 .

For convection cooking, it is recommended that you preheat the oven
to the appropriate temperature before placing the food in the oven.

When the oven reaches the requested temperature, it is maintained for
approximately 10 minutes; it is then switched off automatically.

Check that the heating element is in the correct position for the type of
cooking that you require. Open the door and place the turntable.

Cooking Guide

MICROWAVES

Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its water,
fat and sugar content.
The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid
movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the
food.

COOKING

Cookware for microwave cooking:

Cookware must allow microwave energy to pass through it for maximum
efficiency. Microwaves are reflected by metal, such as stainless steel, aluminium
and copper, but they can penetrate through ceramic, glass, porcelain and plastic
as well as paper and wood. So food must never be cooked in metal containers.

Food suitable for microwave cooking:

Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking, including fresh or frozen
vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, gra ins, beans, fish, and meat. Sauces, custard,
soups, steamed puddings, preserves, and chutneys can also be cooked in a
microwave oven. Generally speaking, microwave cooking is ideal for any food
that would normally be prepared on a hob. Melting butter or chocolate, for
example (see the chapter with tips, techniques and hints).

Covering during cooking

To cover the food during cooking is very important, as the evaporated water rises
as steam and contributes to cooking process. Food can be covered in different
ways: e.g. with a ceramic plate, plastic cover or microwave suitable cling film.

Standing times

After cooking is over food the standing time is important to allow the temperature
to even out within the food.

Cooking Guide for frozen vegetables

Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Cook covered for the minimum time - see
table. Continue cooking to get the result you prefer.
Stir twice during cooking and once after cooking. Add salt, herbs or butter after
cooking. Cover during standing time.

REHEATING

Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that conventional
ovens and hobs normally take.
Use the power levels and reheating times in the following chart as a guide. The
times in the chart consider liquids with a room temperature of about +18 to +20°C
or a chilled food with a temperature of about +5 to +7°C.

Arranging and covering

Avoid reheating large items such as joint of meat - they tend to overcook and dry
out before the centre is piping hot. Reheating small pieces will be more
successful.

Power levels and stirring

Some foods can be reheated using 900 W power while others should be reheated
using 600 W, 450 W or even 300 W.
Check the tables for guidance.
In general, it is better to reheat food using a lower power level, if the food is
delicate, in large quantities, or if it is likely to heat up very quickly (mince pies, for
example).
Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible, stir
again before serving.
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods. To prevent eruptive
boiling of liquids and possible scalding, stir before, during and after heating. Keep
them in the microwave ove n during standing time. We recommend putting a
plastic spoon or glass stick into the liquids. Avoid overheating (and therefore
spoiling) the food. It is preferable to underestimate cooking time and add extra
heating time, if necessary.

Heating and standing times

When reheating food for the first time, it is helpful to make a note of the time
taken - for future reference.
Always make sure that the reheated food is piping hot throughout.
Allow food to stand for a short time after reheating - to let the temperature even
out. The recommended standing time after reheating is 2-4 minutes, unless
another time is recommended in the chart.
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby food. See also the chapter
with the safety precautions.

REHEATING LIQUIDS

Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been
switched off to allow the temperature to even out. Stir during heating, if
necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. To prevent eruptive boiling and
possible scalding, you should put a spoon or glass stick into the beverages and
stir before, during and after heating.

Cooking Guide

DEFROSTING

GB

Microwaves are an excellent way of defrosting frozen food. Microwaves gently
defrost frozen food in a short period of time. This can be of great advantage, if
unexpected guests suddenly show up.

Frozen poultry must be thoroughly thawed before cooking. Remove any metal
ties and take it out of any wrapping to allow thawed liquid to drain away.

Put the frozen food on a dish without cover. Turn over half way, drain off any
liquid and remove any giblets as soon as possible. Check the food occasionally to
make sure that it does not feel warm.
If smaller and thinner parts of the frozen food start to warm up, they can be shield
by wrapping very small strips of aluminium foil around them during defrosting.

Should poultry start to warm up on the outer surface, stop thawing and allow it to
stand for 20 minutes before continuing.
Leave the fish, meat and poultry to stand in order to complete defrosting. The
standing time for complete defrosting will vary depending on the quantity
defrosted. Please refer to the table below.

Hint: lat food defrosts better than thick and smaller quantities need less

For defrosting of frozen food with a temperature of about -18 to - 20°C, use the
following table as a guide.

Cooking Guide

GRILL

The grill-heating element is located underneath the ceiling of the cavity. It
operates while the door is closed and the turntable is rotating. The turntable’s
rotation makes the food brown more evenly. Preheating the grill for 4 minutes will
make the food brown more quickly.

Cookware for grilling:

Should be flameproof and may include metal. Do not use any type of plastic
cookware, as it can melt.

Food suitable for grilling:

Chops, sausages, steaks, hamburgers, bacon and gammon rashers, thin fish
portions, sandwiches and all kinds of toast with toppings.

IMPORTANT REMARK:

Whenever the grill only mode is used, make sure that the grill-heating element is
under the ceiling in the horizontal position and not on the back-wall in the vertical
position. Please remember that food must be placed on the high rack, unless
another instruction is recommended.

MICROWAVE + GRILL

This cooking mode combines the radiant heat that is coming from the grill with the
speed of microwave cooking. It operates only while the door is closed and the
turntable is rotating. Due to the rotation of the turntable, the food browns evenly.
Three combination modes are available with this model:
600 W + Grill, 450 W + Grill and 300 W + Grill.

Cookware for cooking with microwaves + grill

Please use cookware that microwaves can pass through. Cookware should be
flameproof. Do not use metal cookware with combination mode. Do not use any
type of plastic cookware, as it can melt.

Food suitable for microwaves + grill cooking:

Food suitable for combination mode cooking include all kinds of cooked food
which need reheating and browning (e.g. baked pasta), as well as foods which
require a short cooking time to brown the top of the food. Also, this mode can be
used for thick food portions that benefit from a browned and crispy top (e.g.
chicken pieces, turning them over half way through cooking). Please refer to the
grill table for further details.

Cooking Guide

CONVECTION

Cooking with convectio n is the traditional and well known method of cooking food
in a traditional oven with hot air.
The heating element and the fan are situated on the back-wall, so that the hot air
is circulating.

Cookware for convection cooking:

All conventional ovenproof cookware, baking tins and sheets – anything you
would normally use in a traditional convection oven – can be used.

Food suitable for convection cooking:

All biscuits, individual scones, rolls and cakes should be made by this mode as
well as rich fruit cakes, choux pastry and soufflés.

MICROWAVES +CONVECTION

This mode combines the microwave energy with the hot air and is therefore
reducing the cooking time while giving the food a brown and crispy surface.
Cooking with convectio n is the traditional and well known method of cooking food
in an oven with hot air circulated by a fan on the back-wall.

Cookware for cooking with microwaves + convection:

Should be able to let the microwaves pass through. Should be ovenproof (like
glass, pottery or china without metal trims); similar to the cookware described
under MW + Grill.

Food suitable for microwave + convection cooking:

All kinds of meats and poultry as well as casseroles and gratin dishes, sponge
cakes and light fruit cakes, pies and crumbles, roast vegetables, scones and
breads.
