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.

qualified microwave service technician 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.

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:

• Airtightor vacuum-sealed bottles, jars, containers

• Airtightfood. 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 use oven gloves when removing a dish from the oven. Reason:

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

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

• Do not store flammable materials in the oven

• Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags

• Donot use your microwave oven to dry newspapers

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

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 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 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 powersupply

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.

• 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.

• 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. 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.

• NEVER fill the container to the top and choose a container that is wider at the top than at thebottom 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 cable away from heated surfaces.

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

During the heating of liquids the boiling point can be delayed; this means that eruptive boiling can start after the container is removed from the oven. You may scald yourself.

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.

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 the oven is defrosting). Reason

13. When the microwave oven is operating without any load, the power will be cut off automatically for safety. You can operate normally after letting it stand for over 30 minutes.

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.

: This sound is normal when the electrical power output is changing.

InstallingYour Microwave oven

Setting theTime

Place the oven on a flat, level surface that strong enough to safely bear

the weight of the oven.

20 cm above

10 cm

behind

10 cm of

1. When you install your oven, Make sure there is adequate ventilation for your oven by leaving at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space behind, and on the sides of the oven, at

the side

least 20 cm (8 inches) of space above the oven.

2. Remove all packing materials inside the oven. Install the roller ring and turntable.

How aMicrowave Oven Works

Checking thatYour Ovenis 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

•AutoCook

• Auto Reheat

•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:

• Quantityand density

• Watercontent

• 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 and close the door.

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.

✉ 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.
