Installing Your Microwave Oven

• To prevent delayed b oiling and p ossible scaldin g, you shou ld put a pl astic 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

• 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 p ow er ca ble or pl ug in wa te r an d keep th e po wer cable away from heated surfaces.

: 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 effi cien cy of the ove n.

: This sound is normal when the electrical power output is changing.

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 micr ow ave ove n when it is in u se. Items of interest to children should not be stored or hidden just above the oven.

and 20 cm (8 inches) of space above and 85 cm(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.

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

You can use your microwave oven to:

• Auto Power 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. The microwaves are absorbed by the food up to a 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 foo d:

• 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

Checking that Your Oven is Operating Correctly

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

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

1. Press the button.

2. Set the time to 4-5 minutes by turning th e di al kn ob as

requried.

3. Press the button. Result :

✉ 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 heats the water for 4 to 5 minutes. The water should then be boiling.
