Safety Precautions

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:

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

2. DO NOT heat:

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

• Airtight food. Ex) Eggs, nuts in shells, tomatoes Reason:

The increase in pressure may cause them to explode.

Tip:

Remove lids and pierce skins, bags, etc.

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

Theovenwallsmaybedamaged.

Tip:

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.

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 oven.

5. ALWAYS useovengloveswhenremovingadishfromtheoven. Reason:

Some dishes absorb microwaves and heat is always transferred from the food to the dish. The dishes are therefore hot

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

These walls may be hot enough to burn skin even after cooking is finished, oven though 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.

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

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 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.

• During microwave heating of beverages, there are results in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when handling the container.

9. 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.

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

The hot air or steam released may cause scalding.

11. Keep the inside of the oven clean.

• Clean the inside of the oven right after each use with a mild detergent

solution, but let themicrowaveoven cool down before cleaning in order to avoid injury.

Reason:

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

12. “Clicking” sound might be noticed while operating, especially in defrosting mode. Reason:

When the power output is changing electrically, you may hear that sound. This is normal.

Ck135-GB.fm Page 5 Wednesday, July 11, 2001 4:34 PM

Safety Precautions (continued)

13. When the microwave oven is operatingwithoutanyload,the power will be cut off automatically for safety. Afterstandingforover 30 min,youcanoperatethe oven normally.

• Do not worry is the oven continues to work after cooking has finished. Reason:

This product is designed to fan for some minutes, not operating microwave oven(MWO), to cool down the inner electronic parts when the stopbuttonispressed or the door is openedafterfinishing cooking in case that the oven operates for some minutes in cooking(MWO, GRILL, CONVECTION, MWO+GRILL, MWO+ CONVECTION). When cooking has finished, the oven will beep and flash “0” four times. The oven will then beep one time per minute.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

How a Microwave Oven W orks

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

☛ 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

turntable 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.

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

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)

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

approprinte number of times. Result:

The oven heats the water for 4 or 5 minutes. The water should then be boiling.
