Inside the cover you will find a quick look-up guide explaining three
basic cooking operations:
• Cooking food
• Defrosting food
• Adding extra cooking time
At the front of the booklet you will find illustrations of the oven, and
more importantly the control panel, so that you can find the buttons
more easily.
The step-by-step procedures use three different symbols.

Important Note Turn
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 first with a damp cloth
and then with a soft dry cloth.
(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged until it has been repaired by a
qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer. It is
particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there isno
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.
Important Safety Instructions.
Read Carefully and keep for future reference.
Before cooking food or liquids in yourmicrowave 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.
4. DO NOT cover the rear ventilation slots with cloths orpaper.
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 inthe 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.
Reason
: The cloths or paper may catch fire as hot air is evacuated from the
oven.
: Some dishes absorb microwaves and heat is always transferred
Reason
Reason
• 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
from the food to the dish.The dishes are therefore hot.
: These walls may be hot enough to burneven 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.
GB
• ALWAYS allow a standing time of atleast 20 seconds after the oven has
been switched off so that the temperature can equalize.
• Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating.
• 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, you should put a plastic
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 power cable orplug in water and keep the power
cable away from heated surfaces.
• Do not operate this appliance if ithas a damaged power cable or plug.

How a Microwave Oven Works
Checking that Your Ovenis OperatingCorrectly
Microwaves are high-frequencyelectromagnetic waves; the energy
GB
released enables food to be cooked or reheated witho utchanging
either the form or the colour.
You can use your microwave oven to:
• Defrost
• Instant Cook
• Auto Cook/Reheat (M1774N)
•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 foodis 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.
Model : M1774N
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.
Model : M1714N
1. Set the power level to maximum by turning COOKING
POWER CONTROL knob.
2. Set the time 4 to 5 minutes by turning the TIMER knob.
The water should then be boiling.
☛ The oven must be plugged intoan appropriate wallsocket. The
turntable must be in positionin the oven. If a power level other
than the maximum is used, the water takes longer to boil.

Cooking Guide
MICROWAVES
GB
Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted andabsorbed by its water,
fat and sugar content. The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move
rapidly. The rapid movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting
heat cooks the food.
COOKING
Cookware for microwave cooking:
Cookware must allow microwave energy to pass through it for maximum
efficiency. Microwaves are reflected by metal, such as stainlesssteel, aluminium
and copper, but they can penetrate through ceramic, glass, porcelain and plastic
as well as paper and wood. So food must never be cooked in metal containers.
Foods suitable for microwave cooking:
Many kinds of food are suitable for microwavecooking, including fresh or frozen
vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, grains, beans, fish, and meat. Sauces, custard,
soups, steamed puddings, preserves, and chutneys can also be cooked in a
microwave oven. Generally speaking, microwave cooking is ideal forany food
that would normally be prepared on a hob. Melting butter or chocolate, for
example (see the chapter with tips, techniques and hints).
Covering during cooking
To cover the food during cooking is very important, as the evaporated water rises
as steam and contributes to cooking process. Food can be covered in different
ways: e.g. with a ceramic plate, plastic cover or microwave suitable cling film.
Standing times
After cooking is over food the standing time is important to allow the temperature
to even out within the food.
Cooking Guide for frozen vegetables
Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Cook covered for the minimum time - see
table. Continue cooking to get the result you prefer.
Stir twice during cooking and once after cooking. Add salt, herbs orbutter after
cooking. Cover during standing time.

REHEATING
Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that conventional
ovens hobs normally take.
Use the power levels and reheating times in the following chartas a guide. The
times in the chart consider liquids with a room temperature of about +18 to +20°C
or a chilled food with a temperature of about +5 to +7°C.
Arranging and covering
Avoid reheating large items such as joint of meat - they tend to overcookand dry
out before the centre is piping hot. Reheating small pieces will be more
successful.
Power levels and stirring
Some foods can be reheated using 800 W power while others should be reheated
using 600 W, 450 W or even 300 W.
Check the tables for guidance. In general, it is better to reheat food using a lower
power level, if the food is delicate, in large quantities, or if it is likely to heat up
very quickly (mince pies, for example).
Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. Whenpossible, stir
again before serving.
Take particular care when heating liquids andbaby foods. To prevent eruptive
boiling of liquids and possible scalding , stir before, during and after heating.
Keep them in the microwave oven during standing time. We recommend putting a
plastic spoon or glass stick into theliquids. Avoid overheating (and therefore
spoiling) the food.
It is preferable to underestimate cooking timeand add extra heating time, if
necessary.
Heating and standing times
When reheating food for the first time, it is helpful to make a note of the time
taken - for future reference.
Always make sure that the reheated foodis piping hot throughout.
Allow food to stand for a short time after reheating - to letthe temperature even
out.
The recommended standing time after reheating is 2-4 minutes, unless another
time is recommended in the chart..
Take particular care when heating liquids andbaby food. See also the chapter
with the safety precautions.
REHEATING LIQUIDS
Always allow a standing time of at least20 seconds after the oven has been
switched off to allow the temperature toeven out. Stir during heating, if
necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. To prevent eruptive boiling and
possible scalding, you should put a spoon or glass stick into the beverages and
stir before, during and after heating.

DEFROSTING
GB
Microwaves are an excellent way of defrosting frozen food. Microwaves gently
defrost frozen food in a short period of time. This can be ofgreat advantage, if
unexpected guests suddenly show up.
Frozen poultry must be thoroughly thawed before cooking.Remove any metal
ties and take it out of any wrapping to allow thawed liquid to drain away.
Put the frozen food on a dishwithout cover. Turn over half way, drain off any
liquid and remove any giblets as soonas possible.
Check the food occasionally to make sure that it does notfeel warm.
If smaller and thinner parts of the frozen food start to warm up, they can be shield
by wrapping very small strips of aluminiumfoil around them duringdefrosting.
Should poultry start to warm up on the outer surface, stop thawing and allow it to
stand for 20 minutes before continuing.
Leave the fish, meat and poultry to stand in order to complete defrosting. The
standing time for complete defrosting will vary depending on the quantity
defrosted. Please refer to the table below.
Hint: Flat food defrosts better than thick and smaller quantities need less
For defrosting of frozen food with a temperature of about -18 to - 20 °C, use the

CIRCUITS
Your microwave oven should be operated on a
separate circuit from other appliances. Failure to do
this may cause the circuit breaker to trip, the fuse to
blow, or the food to cook more slowly.
Microwave Symbols
On the front of your oven there is a microwave oven symbol, as shown below.
This symbol has been introduced for your benefit when cooking or reheating
packaged food.
Packaged food is also, increasingly, using a microwave symbol similar to the one
below.
When you see this
Symbol on food packaging, the cooking instructions are based on either the IEC
Power Output Rating, or the Reheating CategoriesA, B, C, D orE.
GB
23
Cooking Instructions
Technical Specifications
The IEC Power Output rating is an internationally standardised rating, so all
microwave manufacturers now use the same method of measuring power output.
If food packaging gives cooking instructions based on IEC Power ratings, set
cooking times according to the IEC Pow er of your oven.
For example :
If the cooking instructions are based on a 650W oven, then you will need to
reduce some cooking time for the M1774N / M1714N (800W)
Ready meals are now very convenient and popular. These are meals which are
already prepared and cooked by the food manufacturer, and then frozen, chilled
or vacuum sealed for long life.
Increasingly, heating times for such ready meals are being based on the Heating
Categories A, B, C, D and E.
On this instance, simply match the heating category of your oven to the
instructions on the food package, and set yourtimer accordingly.
For example :
If the heating instructions are 3 minutes on HIGH for a D category oven, then you
will need to set your timer for less than3 minutes on HIGH for the M1774N /
M1714N (E category).
☛ Always remember that cooking instructions are intended only as a
guide. If you have followedthe instructions and the food is still not
piping hot throughout, simply return it to the oven and cook it until
it is.
