MOUNTING THE APPLIANCE

Follow the supplied separate mounting instructions

when installing the appliance.

PRIOR TO CONNECTING

Check that the voltage on the rating plate

corresponds to the voltage in the home.

Do not remove the microwave inlet protection plates located on the side of the microwave oven cavity wall. They prevent grease & food particles from entering the microwave inlet channels.

Ensure the microwave oven cavity is empty before mounting.

Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged mains cord, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped. Do not immerse the mains cord in water. Keep the cord away from hot surfaces. Electrical shock, fire or other hazards may result.

If the power supply cord is too short, have a

qualified electrician or serviceman installer an outlet near the appliance.

Ensure that the appliance is not damaged. Check

that the microwave oven door closes firmly against the door support and that the internal door seal is not damaged. Empty the microwave oven and clean the interior with a soft, damp cloth.

					RECOMMENDED USE AND TIPS
					HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE

The table indicates the best functions to use for any

given food. Cooking times, where indicated, start from the moment when food is placed in the microwave oven cavity, excluding preheating (where required).

Cooking settings and times are purely for

guidance and will depend on the amount of

CLING FILM AND BAGS

Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing the bag in the microwave oven cavity.

Cling film should be scored or pricked with a fork

to relieve the pressure and to prevent bursting because steam builds up during cooking.

COOKING FOOD

Since microwaves penetrate the food to a limited depth, if there are a number of pieces to cook at once, arrange the pieces in a circle to create more outside pieces.

Small pieces cook more quickly than large pieces.

Cut food into pieces of equal size for uniform cooking.

Moisture evaporates during microwave cooking.

A microwave-proof cover on the container helps

reduce moisture loss.

Most foods will continue to cook after microwave

has finished cooking it. Therefore, always allow for standing time to complete the cooking.

Stirring is usually necessary during microwave

cooking. When stirring, bring the cooked portions on the outside edges towards the centre and the less-cooked centre portions towards the outside.

Place thin slices of meat on top of each other or

interlace them. Thicker slices such as meat loaf and sausages have to be placed close to each other.

food and type of accessory used. Always cook food for the minimum cooking time given and check that is it cooked through.

To obtain the best results, carefully follow the

advice given in the cooking table regarding the choice of accessories (if supplied) to be used (if present).

LIQUIDS

Liquids may overheat beyond boiling point without visibly bubbling. This could cause hot liquids to suddenly boil over.

To prevent this possibility:

qAvoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

wStir the liquid before placing the container in the microwave oven cavity and leave the teaspoon in the container.

eAfter heating, stir again before carefully removing the container from the microwave oven.

BABY FOOD

After heating baby food or liquids in a baby bottle or in a baby food jar, always stir and check the temperature before serving.

This will ensure that the heat is evenly distributed and avoid the risk of scalding or burns.

Ensure that the lid and the teat are removed before heating.

FROZEN FOOD

For best results, we recommend defrosting directly on the glass turntable. If needed, it is possible to use a light-plastic container that is suitable for microwave.

Boiled food, stews and meat sauces defrost better if stirred during the defrosting time.

Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Individual slices defrost more easily.
