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

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

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

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

7. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

: The oven walls may be damaged.

Reason 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.

: The cloths or paper may catch fire as hot air is evacuated from the

Reason

• Donot store flammable materials in the oven

• Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags

• Donot use your microwave oven to dry newspapers

• Ifsmoke is observed, keep the oven door closed and switch off or

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 not appear 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

Safety Precautions (continued)

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.

• Stirduring heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating.

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

• Arisk of delayed eruptive boiling exists.

• Toprevent delayed boiling and possible scalding, you should put a plastic spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after heating.

: During the heating of liquids the boiling point can be delayed;

Reason

• Inthe 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.

• NEVERfill 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.

• ALWAYScheck 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.

• Donot immerse the power cable or plug in water and keep the power cable away from heated surfaces.

• Donot 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

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.

How a Microwave Oven W orks

Checking that Your Oven 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

• Instant Reheat(M1630N)

•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.

First, place a bowl of water on the turntable. Then, close the door.

Model : M1630N

1. Press the button and set the time to 4-5 minutes by

pressing the 1min button the appropriate number of times.

2. Press button. Result :

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

Model : M1610N

1. Set the power level to maximum by turning COOKING POWER CONTROL knob.

2. Setthetime4to5minutesbyturningtheTIMER knob.

✉ 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.
