basic cooking operations:

• Cooking food

• Defrosting food

• Grilling food

• Adding extra cooking time

At the front of the booklet you will find illustrations of the oven, and
more importantly the control panel, so that you can find the buttons
more easily.

The step-by-step procedures use four different symbols.

Important Note Caution Turn

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

Failure to observe the following safety precautions may result in harmful
exposure to microwave energy.
(a) Underno circumstances should any attempt be made to operate the oven with

the door open or to tamper with the safety interlocks (door latches) or to insert
anything into the safety interlock holes.

(b) Do not place any object between the oven door and front face or allow food or

cleaner residues to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Ensure that the door and
door sealing surfaces are kept clean by wiping after use first with a damp cloth
and then with a soft dry cloth.

(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged until it has been repaired by a

qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer.
It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is
no damage to the:
(1) Door, door seals and sealing surfaces
(2) Door hinges (broken or loose)
(3) Power cable

(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone other than a properly

qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer.

Safety Precautions

Important Safety Instructions.

GB

Read Carefully and keep for future reference.
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:

• Metallic containers

• Dinnerware with gold or silver trimmings

• Skewers, forks, etc.
Reason:

2. DO NOT heat:

• Airtight or vacuum-sealed bottles, jars, containers.

• Airtight food.
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 cloths or paper may catch fire as hot air is evacuated from the

5. ALWAYS useovengloveswhenremovingadishfromtheoven.
Reason:

6. DO NOT touch heating elements or interior oven walls.
Reason:

7. 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.

Ex) Baby food jars
Ex) Eggs, nuts in shells, tomatoes

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

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.

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 even after cooking has
finished, even though they do notappear to 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

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 temperature can equalize.

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

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

• A risk of delayed eruptive boiling exists.

• To prevent 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:

• In the 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.

• 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.

9. Be careful not to damage the power cable.

• Do not immerse the power cable or plug in water and keep the power
cableawayfromheatedsurfaces.

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

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

11. Keep the inside of the oven clean.
Reason:

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

13. When the microwave oven is operating without any load, the power will be cut
off automatically for safety. You can operate the oven normally after letting it
stand for over 30 minutes.

During the heating of liquids the boiling point can be delayed;
this means that eruptive boiling can start after the container is
removed from the oven. You may scald yourself.

The hot air or steam released may cause scalding.

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

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

Safety Precautions(continued)

InstallingYour Microwave Oven

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

During cooking, you should look into the oven from time to time when food is
being heated or cooked in disposable containers of plastic, paper or other
combustible materials.

IMPORTANT

Young children should NEVER be allowed to use or play with the microwave
oven. Nor should they be left unattended near the microwave oven 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 strong enough to safely bear
the weight of the oven.

1. When you install your oven, make sure there is adequate
ventilation for your oven by leaving at least 10 cm (4
inches) of space behind, and on the sides of the oven

10 cm

and20cm(8inches)ofspaceabovetheovenand85cm
(thirty three inches) of the floor.

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

3. This microwave oven has to be positioned so that plug is
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 appliance is
damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service
agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

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

like next to a traditional oven or radiator. The power supply
specifications of the oven must be respected and any extension
cable used must be of the same standard as the power 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 (CE2974N/CE2974NT)

How a Microwave Oven Work

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

GB

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 and winter time.

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

24-hour notation Once
12-hour notation Twice

2. Turn the dial knob to set hour.

3. Press the Clock ( ) button

4. Turn the dial knob to set minute.

5. When the right time is displayed, press the button

again to start the clock and press the button.
Result:

The time is displayed when ever 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

• Auto Reheat/Cook

• 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

Cookware Guide

To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to
penetrate the food, without being reflected or absorbed by the dish
used.

Care must therefore be taken when choosing the cookware. If the
cookware is marked microwave-safe, you do not need to worry.

The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates
whether and how they should be used in a microwave oven.

Cooking Guide

MICROWAVES

GB

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.

Foods suitable for microwave cooking:

Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking, including fresh or frozen
vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, grains, 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 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.

Cooking Guide

Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods. To prevent eruptive

GB

boiling of liquids and possible scalding , stir before, during and after heating.
Keep them in the microwave oven 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.

REHEATING BABY FOOD

BABY FOOD:

Empty into a deep ceramic plate. Cover with plastic lid. Stir well after reheating!
Let stand for 2-3 minutes before serving. Stir again and check the temperature.
Recommended serving temperature: between 30-40°C.

BABY MILK:

Pour milk into a sterilised glass bottle. Reheat uncovered. Never heat a baby’s
bottle with teat on, as the bottle may explode if overheated. Shake well before
standing time and again before serving ! Always carefully check the temperature
of baby milk or food before giving it to the baby. Recommended serving
temperature: ca. 37°C.

REMARK:

Baby food particularly needs to be checked carefully before serving to prevent
burns.
Use the power levels and times in the next table as a guide lines for reheating.

DEFROSTING

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 halfway, 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: Flat food defrosts better than thick and smaller quantities need less

time than bigger ones. Remember this hint while freezing and
defrosting food.

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

lease 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 microwave + 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.

IMPORTANT REMARK:

Whenever the combination mode (microwave + grill) 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. The food should be placed on the high rack,
unless another instruction is recommended. Otherwise it has to be placed directly
on the turntable. Please refer to the instructions in the following chart.

The food must be turned over, if it is to be browned on both sides.

Cleaning YourMicrowave Oven

Storingand Repairing YourMicrowave Oven

The following parts of your microwave oven should be cleaned
regularly to prevent grease and food particles from building up:

• Inside and outside surfaces

• Door and door seals

• Turntable and Roller rings

☛ ALWAYS ensure that the door seals are clean and the door

closes properly.

1. Clean the outside surfaces with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Rinse and
dry.

2. Remove any splashes or stains on the inside surfaces or on the roller ring with
a soapy cloth. Rinse and dry.

3. To loosen hardened food particles and remove smells, place a cup of diluted
lemon juice on the turntable and heat for ten minutes at maximum power.

4. Wash the dishwasher-safe plate whenever necessary.

✉ DO NOT spill water in the vents. NEVER use any abrasive

products or chemical solvents.Take particular care when cleaning
the door seals to ensure that no particles:

• Accumulate

• Prevent the door from closing correctly

✉ Clean the microwave oven cavity right after each use with a mild

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

A few simple precautions should be taken when storing or having your
microwave oven serviced.

The oven must not be used if the door or door seals are damaged:

• Broken hinge
