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.

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

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. Result:

The oven heats the water for 4 or 5 minutes. The water should then be boiling.

Becoming familiar with a new appliance always takes a little time. If you have any of the problems listed below, try the solutions given. They may save you the time and inconvenience of an unnecessary service call.

◆ This is normal.

• Condensation inside the oven
