Safety Precaucions

Important Safety Instructions.

Read Carefully and keep for futurereference. Before cooking food or liquids in your microwave oven, please check

that the following safety precautions are taken.

1. DO NOT use any metallic cookware in the microwave oven:

• Metalliccontainers

• Dinnerware with gold or silver trimmings

• Skewers,forks, etc. Reason

: Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may damagetheoven.

2. DO NOT heat:

• Airtight or vacuum-sealed bottles, jars, containers Ex) Baby food jars

• Airtightfood. Ex) Eggs, nuts in shells, tomatoes

Reason: Tip:

3. DO NOT operate the microwave oven when it is empty. Reason: Tip:

4. DO NOT cover the rear ventilation slots with cloths or paper. Reason

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.

: Thecloths or paper may catch fire as hot air is evacuated from the

oven.

8. 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 so that the temperaturecan equalize.

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

• Take care when handling the containerafterheating. You may burn yourself if the container is too hot.

• Arisk of delayed eruptive boiling exists.

• Toprevent delayed boiling and possible scalding, you should put a plastic spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after heating. Reason

: During the heating of liquids the boiling point can be delayed;

this means that eruptive boiling can start after the container is

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

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

• NEVERfill the container to the top and choose a container that is wider at the top than at the bottom to prevent the liquidfrom boilingover.Bottles with narrow necks may also explode if overheated.

• ALWAYS check the temperature of babyfoodormilkbeforegiving it to the baby.

• NEVER heata baby’s bottle with the teat on, as the bottle may explode if overheated.

9. Be careful not to damage the power cable.

• Donot immerse the power cable or plug in water and keep the power cableawayfromheatedsurfaces.

: Thesewalls may be hot enough to burn even after cooking has

finished, even though they do notappearto be so. 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

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

: Thehot air or steam released may cause scalding.

11. Keep the inside of the oven clean.

Reason

: Food particles or spattered oils stuck to oven walls or floor can

cause paint damage and reduce the efficiency of the oven.

12. You may notice a “Clicking” soundduringoperation(especially when the oven is in defrosting). Reason

: Thissound is normal when the electrical power output is changing.

13. When the microwave oven is operating without any load, the power will be cut

IMPORTANT

Young children shouldNEVERbe allowed to use orplaywith the microwave oven. Nor should they be left unattendednearthemicrowaveoven when it is in use. Items of interest to children should not be stored or hidden just above the oven.

Place the oven on a flat, level surface that is strong enough to safely bear the weight of the oven.

10cm on

1. When you install your oven, make sure there isadequate ventilation for your oven by leaving at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space behind and, on the sides of the oven and 20 cm (8 inches) of space above and 85 cm(33 inches) of the floor.

2. Remove all packing materials inside the oven. Install the roller ring and turntable. Check that the turntable rotatesfreely.

3. This microwave oven has to be positioned so thatplugis accessible.

✽ Never block the air vents as the oven may overheat and

automatically switch itself off. It will remain inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently.

✽ For your personal safety, plug the cable into a 3-pin, 230 Volt,

50Hz, AC earthed socket. If the power cable of this applianceis damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualifiedperson in order to avoid a hazard.

✽ Do not install the microwave oven in hot or damp surroundings

like next to a traditionaloven or radiator. The power supply specifications of the oven must be respected and any extension cable used must be of the same standard as thepower cable supplied with the oven. Wipe the interior and the door seal with a damp cloth before using your microwave oven for the first time.

Setting the Time(CE2927N/CE2927NT)

How a Microwave OvenWorks

Your microwave oven has an inbuilt clock. The time can be displayed

in either the 24-houror 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 switchtoandfromsummer

or winter time.

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

24-hour notation Once 12-hour notation Twice

2. Turn the TIME/WEIGHT ( ) dial to set hour.

3. Press the button.

4. Turn the TIME/WEIGHT ( ) dial to set minute.

5. Press the button.

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

You can use your microwave oven to:

• Defrost, Auto Defrost

• Instant Reheat/Cook(CE2917N/CE2917NT)

• Cook

Cooking Principle

1. The microwaves generated by the magnetronare 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 recipesand 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 Your Ovenis OperatingCorrectly

What to Do if You arein Doubtor Havea Problem

The following simple procedure enables you tocheck that your oven is working correctly at all times.

The water should then be boiling.

If you have any of the problems listed below try the solutions given.

◆ This is normal.

• Condensation inside the oven

• Airflow around the door and outer casing

• Light reflection around the door and outer casing

• Steam escaping from around the doororvents.

◆ The oven does not start when you turn the TIME/WEIGHT() dial.(CE2927N/CE2927NT)

• Isthe door completely closed?

◆ The oven does not start when you turn the TIMER knob. (CE2917N/ CE2917NT)

• Isthe door completely closed?

◆ The food is not cooked at all

• Have you set the time correctly?

• Isthe door closed?

• Have you overloaded the electric circuit and caused a fuse toblow or a

breaker to be triggered?

◆ The food is either overcooked or undercooked

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

• Wasan 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?

• Isaluminiumfoiltooclose to the inside walls?

✉ 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 is used, the water takes longer to boil.

◆ 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.To solve this problem, install the oven away from televisions, radios and aerials.

• Ifinterference is detected by the oven’s microprocessor, the display may

be reset.To solve this problem, disconnect the power plug and reconnect it. Reset the time.(CE2927N/CE2927NT)
