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) Under no circumstances should anyattemptbe 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 arekept cleanby wiping after use first with a damp cloth and then with a soft dry cloth.

(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.

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:

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

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

• ALWAYS allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has

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

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.

Theovenwallsmaybedamaged. Leave a glass of water inside the oven at all times. The water will absorb the microwaves ifyou 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 even after cooking has finished, even though they do notappearto be so. Do not allow inflammable materials to come into contactwith any interior area of the oven. Let the oven cooldown first.

disconnect the oven from the power supply

been switched off so that the temperature can equalize.

• 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, youshould 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 theoven 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 pointcanbedelayed; 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.

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.

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.

How a Microwave Oven Work

Checking that YourOven is Operating Correctly

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

• AutoReheat/Cook

• Junior/Snack

•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

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

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

Turn the cooking control knob to manual cook

1. Press the button and set the time to 4-5 minutes by turning the dial knob as required.

2. Press button. Result:

Theovenheatsthewaterfor4to5minutes. The water should then be boiling.

✉ 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.

What to Do if Youare in Doubt or Have a

Problem

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

◆ This is normal.

• Condensation inside the oven and display

• Air flow around the door and outer casing

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

• If interference 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.
