9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

Cooking Safety

CAUTION

To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe the following:

Do not leave oven unattended while in use.

Do not store flammable material next to or in the oven.

When flaming foods under the microwave, always turn the fan on.

Do not operate the oven while empty. This could damage the oven and result in a risk of fire.

Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors, flammables or nonfood products in or near this appliance. It is specifically designed for use when heating or cooking food. The use of corrosive chemicals in heating or cleaning will damage the appliance and could result in injury.

Do not dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven. Do not use newspapers or paper bags for cooking. Fire could result.

Do not use recycled paper products unless labeled safe for microwave use. They may contain impurities which may cause sparks and result in fires when used.

Always use potholders when removing items from the oven. The cooking container and the glass tray can be hot even if the oven is cool.

Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off.

Do not mount over sink.

Do not store anything directly on top of the appliance surface when the appliance is in operation.

Oversized food or oversized metal utensils should not be inserted in a microwave oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.

Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock.

Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer’s recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.

Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.

Do not use paper products when appliance is operated in the toaster mode.

In Case of Fire

If materials inside an oven should ignite:

1.Keep door closed

2.Turn appliance off

3.Unplug the appliance or shut off at fuse or circuit breaker

Liquids

Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea could be overheated. They can be heated beyond the boiling point without appearing to boil. For example, visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

When heating liquids, always place a glass rod/spoon in the container. This will prevent delayed boiling.

CAUTION

Metal e.g. a spoon in a glass must be kept at least 1 inch (25 mm) from the oven walls and the inside of the door. Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.

Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat up more quickly and evenly in microwaveable ovenware. The different components of the meal may not require the same amount of time to heat up.

Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable cover for your container, use a plate or special microwave foil.

Stir or turn the food several times during cooking. Check the temperature.

After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to 5 minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.

Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when removing plates from the oven.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

Cooking Items

Eggs: Do not cook or reheat whole eggs, with or without shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to explode, and possibly damage the oven or cause injury. Reheating sliced hard-boiled eggs and cooking scrambled eggs is safe.

Popcorn: Use only popcorn in packages designed and labeled for microwave use, or pop it in a microwave oven corn popper. Follow popcorn manufacturers’ directions and use a brand suitable for the wattage of your oven. Do not continue to heat after popping has stopped. Popcorn will scorch or burn. Do not leave oven unattended.

CAUTION

When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, check package weight before using the popcorn function. Set the oven for the weight of the popcorn package. If these instructions are not followed, popcorn may not pop adequately or may ignite and cause fire.

Foods with nonporous skins: Potatoes, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, apples, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods with nonporous skins. These types of foods must be pierced before cooking to prevent them from exploding.

Baby food / Baby formula: Do not heat baby bottles or food in microwave oven. The glass jar or the surface of food may appear warm while the interior can burn the infant’s mouth and esophagus.

Deep fat frying: Do not deep fat fry in oven. Oil can be heated beyond ideal temperatures very quickly in a microwave oven. Temperatures can climb high enough for the cooking oils to reach their respective flash points and burst into flames. The heated oil may bubble and spatter causing possible damage to the oven and perhaps result in burns. Additionally, microwave–safe utensils may not be able to withstand the temperature of the hot oil, and could result in the utensil shattering, if it contains a slight imperfection, scratch or chip.

Home Canning / Drying foods / Small quantities of foods: Do not use microwave oven for home canning or heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build up and the jar may explode. In addition, the oven cannot maintain the food at the proper canning temperature. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume. Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content can dry out, burn or catch on fire.

Do not dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your oven.

Proper cooking depends on time set and weight of food. If you use a smaller portion than recommended and cook at the time for the recommended portion, fire could result.

Browning dishes: Microwave browning dishes or grills are designed for microwave cooking only. Preheating times vary depending on the size of the browning dish and food being cooked. Always follow instructions provided by the browning dish or grill manufacturer. Do not preheat browning dishes more than 6 minutes.

Oven roasting bags: If an oven bag is used for microwave cooking, prepare according to package directions. Do not use wire twist–ties to close bags, instead use nylon ties, cotton string or a strip cut from the open end of the bag. Make six ½" (12.7 mm) slits by closure. Place oven cooking bag in a dish slightly larger than the food being cooked.

Cooking Utensils

See also Microwave Utensil Guide.

Cooking utensils, the ceramic tray and racks get hot during microwaving. Always use potholders when removing items from the oven. Allow the ceramic tray and the metal racks (if used) to cool before handling.

Do not use metal utensils, or dishes with metallic trim in the oven.

When using aluminum foil in the oven, allow at least

1 inch (25 mm) of space between foil and interior oven walls or door.

The ceramic tray and the metal racks (if used) will get hot during cooking. The cooking container and the ceramic tray can be hot even if the oven is cool.

Never use paper, plastic, or other combustible materials that are not intended for cooking.

When cooking with paper, plastic, or other combustible materials, follow manufacturer’s recommendations on product use. Do not use paper towels which contain nylon or synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics could melt and cause paper to ignite.

Do not heat sealed containers or plastic bags in oven. Food or liquid could expand quickly and cause container or bag to break. Pierce or open container or bag before cooking.

Metal Tray Turntable

Do not operate the oven without the metal tray turntable in place.

Verify that the metal tray turntable is properly positioned and turning when the oven is in use. Improper cooking or damage to the oven could result.

Only use the metal tray turntable designed for this oven. Do not substitute any other tray.

Always replace the metal tray in its proper position.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. 9

Causes of Damage

NOTICES:

Metal e.g. a spoon in a glass must be kept at least 1 inch (25 mm) from the oven walls and the inside of the door. Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.

Water in the hot oven interior: Never pour water into the hot oven interior. Steam is produced. Damage to the enamel can arise due to the temperature change.

Do not leave moist groceries in a closed oven for an extended period of time. It can lead to corrosion inside the oven.

Fruit juice can leave stains in the oven. Always remove fruit juice immediately when safe to touch, and wipe up first with a damp and then a dry cloth.

Cooling with the appliance door open: only allow the oven cavity to cool when it is closed. Even if the appliance door is only open a little, front panels of adjacent units could be damaged over time.

Highly soiled door seal: the appliance door will no longer close properly during operation if the door seal is highly soiled. Adjoining furniture fronts may be damaged. Always keep the door seal clean.

Appliance door as a seat or storage surface: do not stand, sit or hang on the appliance door. Do not place any cookware or accessories on the appliance door.

Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance type, accessories can scratch the door pane when closing the appliance door. Always slide accessories fully into the oven interior.

Do not hold or carry the appliance by the door handle. The door handle cannot carry the weight of the device and could break off, or the hinges can be damaged.

Operating the microwave without food in the oven cavity may lead to overloading. Never run the microwave unless there is food in the oven cavity. An exception to this rule is a short ovenware test, see section ~ "Microwave utensil guide" on page 16, or a Cook Smart® mode that needs pre-heating.

Always set the microwave power as recommended for the food. High power settings can overheat foods very quickly.

The turntable may jump if overloaded.

Protecting the environment

Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in an environmentally friendly manner.

Tips for saving energy

Open the appliance door as little as possible while cooking, baking or roasting.

Use dark, black-painted or enameled baking forms. These absorb the heat particularly well.

It is best to bake several cakes in succession. The oven is still warm. This shortens the baking time for the second cake. You can also slide in two loaf tins next to each other.

Microwave utensil guide

Suitable ovenware

Heat-resistant glass, glass ceramic and earthenware:

Utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without metallic trim (e.g. Pyrex®, Anchor Hocking™, Corning Ware®, Emile Henry, etc.).

China:

Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without metallic trim.

Plastic films and wraps:

Plastic wrap (as a cover) - lay the plastic wrap loosely over the dish and press it to the sides. Vent plastic wrap by turning back one edge slightly to allow excess steam to escape. The dish should be deep enough so that the plastic wrap will not touch the food.

Microwave-safe plastics:

Microwave-safe plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer containers and plastic bags for short cooking times. Use these with care because the plastic may soften from the heat of the food.

Paper products:

Paper towels, wax paper, parchment paper, paper napkins and paper plates with no metallic trim or design. Look for the manufacturers label for any special instructions for use in the microwave oven.

Unsuitable ovenware

Metal utensils and cookware:

Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven cooking. Also, avoid metal skewers, thermometers or foil trays. Metal utensils can cause arcing, which can damage your microwave oven.

Metal decoration:

Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters with metallic trim.

Aluminum foil:

Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking and may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch (25 mm) from the side walls of the oven cavity and door of the microwave.

Wood:

Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets made of wood will react in the same way.

Tightly covered cookware:

Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered cookware. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before cooking. Tightly closed pouches may explode.

Brown paper:

Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb heat and can burn.

Flawed or chipped cooking utensils:

Any utensil that is cracked, flawed or chipped may break in the oven.

Metal twist ties:

Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags. They become hot and could cause a fire.

Ovenware test

Do not turn on the microwave unless there is food inside. The following ovenware test is the only exception to this rule.

Perform the following test if you are unsure whether your ovenware is suitable for use in the microwave:

1.Heat the empty ovenware at maximum power for ½ to

1minute.

2.Check the temperature occasionally during that time. The ovenware should still be cold or warm to the touch.

The ovenware is unsuitable if it becomes hot or if sparks are generated.

Microwave power levels

You can select from 10 different microwave power levels. If you do not set a power level, the microwave will automatically operate at the highest power level 100%.

Suggestions for best results

To help you achieve the best possible results from your microwave oven, read the following suggestions below:

Storage temperature

Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook.

Size

Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones. Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more evenly when cooked together. For more even results, reduce the power levels when cooking large pieces of food.

Natural moisture

Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy heats water molecules very efficiently.

Stirring

Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from the outside to the center to distribute the heat more evenly. This will allow the food to cook faster. (Constant stirring is not necessary.)

Turning

Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or whole cauliflower halfway through the cook time. This will help to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.

Placing food

Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.

Arranging food

Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable tray.

Letting food stand

After removing the food from the microwave, cover the food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand to finish cooking. This will help the food finish cooking in the center and avoids overcooking the outer edges. The length of stand time depends on the density and surface area of the food items.

Wrapping foods

Sandwiches and many other food types containing pre-baked bread should be wrapped in paper towels or wax paper prior to placing in the microwave to help prevent the food items from drying out while heating.

CookSmart™

CookSmart™ lets you prepare food in a fast and simple way using Microwave and Conventional Heat. Select the program, enter the values prompted, and CookSmart™ will select the optimum setting for you.

Note: Only use ovenware that is suited for both microwave and conventional cooking. (Earthenware is recommended).

Information on the settings

The cooking result depends on the quality of the food and the type of cookware. For an optimal cooking result, use food that is in good condition and chilled meat only.

For some dishes, you will be required to enter the weight. The appliance will then apply the time and temperature settings for you.

It is not possible to set weights outside of the intended weight range.

For roasting programs, temperatures can be as high as 450° F (230 °C). Therefore ensure that you are using heat-resistant cookware.

Touch the INFO button for information, e.g. on cookware, rack position or the addition of liquid when cooking meat.

Some food requires turning or stirring, etc. during cooking. This is shown in the display shortly after operation starts. An audible signal will remind you at the right time.
