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 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 with first a damp cloth and then a final wipe with a soft dry cloth.

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.

DO NOT operate the microwave oven when it is empty. Reason: The oven walls may be damaged. Tip

: Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may damage the oven.

Example: Baby food jars

Example

: 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

: Eggs, nuts in shells, tomatoes

: The increase in pressure may cause them to explode.

you accidentally set the oven going when it is empty.

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

ALWAYS use oven gloves when removing a dish from the oven. Reason

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

◆ To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity.

: 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 skin burn even after cooking is finished, although 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.

- 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 disconnect the oven from the power supply.

Safety Precautions

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.

Be careful not to damage the power cable.

◆ Do not immerse power cable or plug in water and keep power cable away from heated surfaces.

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

(continued)

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

: The hot air or steam released may cause scalding.

☛ Pleease don’t mind if the oven works continuously after the cooking over.

How a Microwave Oven Works

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 glass plate. 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 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

Checking that Your Oven is Operating Correctly

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 glass plate 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.

1 Open the oven door by pushing the handle on the right side of the door.

Place a glass of water on the glass plate. Close the door.

2 Press the Start ( 1min+) button and set the time to 4 to 5 minutes, by

pressing the ( 1min+) button the approprinte number of times. Result: The oven heats the water for 4 to 5 minutes. The water should

then be boiling.

What to Do if You are in Doubt or Have a Problem

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.

Problem

◆ Condensation inside the oven

◆ Air flow around the door and outer casing

◆ Light reflection around the door and outer casing

◆ Steam escaping from around the door or vents

The food is not cooked at all

The food is either overcooked or undercooked

Sparking and cracking occur inside the oven (arcing)

The oven causes interference with radios or televisions

Checks/Explanation/Solution

This is normal.

◆ Have you set the timer correctly and pressed the

Start ( 1min+) button?

◆ Is the door closed?

◆ Have you overloaded the electric circuit and caused a fuse to

blow or a breaker to be triggered.

◆ Was the appropriate cooking length set for the type of food?

◆ Was an appropriate power level chosen?

◆ 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?

◆ Slight interference may be observed on televisions or radios

when the oven is operating. This is normal. Solution: Install the oven away from televisions, radios and

aerials.

◆ If interference is detected by the oven’s microprocessor, the

display may be reset. Solution: Disconnect the power plug and reconnect it. Reset

the time.

If the above guidelines do not enable you to solve the problem, take a note of:
