Do not store ﬂammable materials in the oven. Take special care when heating dishes or drinks that contain alcohol as alcohol vapours may contact a hot part of the oven.

Keep children away from the door when opening or closing it as they may bump themselves on the door or catch their ﬁngers in the door.

WARNING: Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling,therefore care must be taken when handling the container; To prevent this situation ALWAYS allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched o so that the temperature can equalize. Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. 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.

CAUTION

Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens; DO NOT use any metallic containers, Dinnerware with gold or silver trimmings, Skewers, forks, etc. Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags. Reason: Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may damage the oven.

Do not use your microwave oven to dry papers or clothes.

oven use

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

reﬂected at cavity and are distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the turntable. 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 container 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

English - 14

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 “Troubleshooting” on the page 39-40.

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 upper side of the door. Place a glass of water on the turntable. Close the door.

Press the Start/+30s ( ) button and set the time to 4 or 5 minutes, by pressing the Start/+30s ( ) button the appropriate number of times.

Result: The oven heats the water for 4 or 5 minutes.

The water should then be boiling.

SETTING THE TIME

Your microwave oven has an inbuilt clock. When power is supplied, “:0”, “88:88” or “12:00” is automatically displayed on the display. Please set the current time. The time can be displayed in either the 24- hour or 12-hour notation. You must set the clock:

• When you ﬁrst install your microwave oven

• After a power failure

Do not forget to reset the clock when you switch to and from summer and winter time.

Auto energy saving function

If you do not select any function when appliance is in the middle of setting or operating with temporary stop condition, function is canceled and clock will be displayed after 25 minutes. Oven Lamp will be turned o after 5 minutes with door open condition.

1. To display the time in the...
