INSTALLATION
PRIOR TO CONNECTING
CHECK THAT THE VOLTAGE on the rating
plate corresponds to the voltage in your home.
DO NOT REMOVE THE MICROWAVE INLET PROTEC- TION PLATES located on 
the side of the oven cavi- 
ty wall. They prevent grease 
& food particles from en- 
tering the microwave inlet channels.
PLACE THE OVEN ON A STABLE, EVEN
SURFACE that is strong enough to hold the oven and the 
food utensils you put in it. Use care when handling.
Position the oven at a distance from other heating sources. For sufficient ventilation there must be a space of at least 30 cm above
the oven. Ensure that the space underneath, above and around the oven is empty to allow for proper airflow. The microwave oven shall not be placed in a cabinet. This oven is not intended to be placed or used on a working surface lower than 850 mm above the floor.
AFTER CONNECTING
ENSURE THAT THE APPLIANCE IS NOT DAMAGED. Check
that the oven door closes firmly against the door support and that the internal door seal is not damaged. Empty the oven and clean the interior with a soft, damp cloth.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE if it has a
damaged mains cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped. Do not immerse the mains cord or plug in water. Keep the cord away from hot surfaces. Electrical shock, fire or other hazards may result.

PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL
THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED FOR DOMESTIC USE ONLY!
THE APPLIANCE SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED without
food in the oven when using microwaves. Operation in this manner is likely to damage the appliance.
THE VENTILATION OPENINGS on the oven must not
be covered. Blocking the air intake or exhaust vents may cause damage to the oven and poor cooking results.
IF YOU PRACTICE OPERATING the oven, put a glass
of water inside. The water will absorb the microwave energy and the oven will not be damaged.
DO NOT STORE OR USE
DO NOT USE this product near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming
pool, or similar.
DO NOT USE the cavity for any storage purposes.
DURING USE THE APPLIANCE becomes hot. Care
should be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven.
REMOVE WIRE TWIST-TIES from paper or
plastic bags before placing bag in the oven.
DEEP-FRYING
DO NOT USE YOUR MICROWAVE oven for deep-fry-
ing, because the oil temperature 
cannot be controlled. 
USE HOT PADS OR OVEN MITTS to prevent
burns, when touching containers, oven parts, and pan after cooking. Accessible parts may become hot during use, young children should be kept away.
LIQUIDS
E.G. BEVERAGES OR WATER. Overheating the liquid beyond boiling point 
can occur without evidence of 
bubbling. This could result in 
a sudden boil over of the hot 
liquid.
To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken:
1.Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
2.Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and let the teaspoon remain in the container.
3.After heating, allow standing for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container from the oven.
CAREFUL
ALWAYS REFER to a micro-
wave cookbook for de- 
tails. Especially, if cooking or 
reheating food that contains alcohol.
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 the risk of scalding or burns can be avoided.
Ensure the Lid and the Teat is removed before heating!

ACCESSORIES
GENERAL
THERE ARE a number of accessories available on the market. Before you buy, ensure they are suitable for microwave use.
ENSURE THAT THE UTENSILS YOU USE are oven proof
and allow microwaves to pass through them before cooking.
WHEN YOU PUT FOOD AND ACCESSORIES in the micro-
wave oven, ensure that they do not come in contact with the interior of the oven.
This is especially important with accessories made of metal or metal parts.
IF ACCESSORIES CONTAINING METAL comes in contact
with the oven interior, while the oven is in operation, sparking can occur and the oven could be damaged.
ALWAYS ENSURE that the turntable is able to turn freely before starting the oven. If the turntable isn’t able to turn freely you should use a smaller vessel or the TurnTable stop function (see Large vessels).
TURNTABLE SUPPORT
USE THE TURNTABLE SUPPORT under the
Glass turntable. Never put any other utensils on the turntable sup-
port.
Fit the turntable support in the oven.
GLASS TURNTABLE
USE THE GLASS TURNTABLE with all cooking methods. It collects the dripping
juices and food particles that otherwise would stain and soil
the interior of the oven.
Place the Glass turntable on the turntable support.
LARGE VESSELS
USE THE TURNTABLE STOP button when cook-
ing with vessels that is so large that they can not turn freely in the oven. This function can only be used when cooking with microwaves only and
Gratin functions. The button will not work with other functions.
STEAM ACCESSORY
USE THE ACCESSORY WITH THE STRAIN-
ER in place for such foods as fish, 
vegetables and potatoes. 
ALWAYS PLACE the accessory on 
the Glass Turntable. 
WIRE RACK
USE THE HIGH WIRE RACK when
cooking with grill.
CRISP-PLATE
PLACE THE FOOD DIRECTLY ON
THE CRISP-PLATE.
Always use the Glass turntable as support when us-
ing the Crisp-plate.
DO NOT PLACE ANY UTENSILS on the Crisp-
plate since it will quickly become very hot and is likely to cause damage to the utensil.
THE CRISP-PLATE may be preheated before use
(max. 3 min.). CRISP HANDLE
USE THE SUPPLIED SPECIAL CRISP HAN-
DLE to remove the hot Crisp plate from the oven.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
CLEANING IS THE ONLY MAINTENANCE normally re-
quired. It must be carried out with the microwave oven disconnected.
FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE OVEN in a clean condition
could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
DO NOT USE METAL SCOURING PADS,
ABRASIVE CLEANSERS, steel-
wool pads, gritty washcloths, etc. which can damage the control pan-
el, and the interior and exterior oven surfaces. Use a cloth with a mild detergent or a paper towel with spray glass cleaner.
Apply spray glass cleaner to a paper towel. DO NOT SPRAY directly on the oven.
AT REGULAR INTERVALS, especially
if spill overs have occurred, re- 
move the turntable, the turntable support and wipe the base of
the oven clean.
THIS OVEN IS DESIGNED to operate with the turntable in place.
DO NOT operate the microwave oven
when the turntable has been removed for cleaning.
USE A SOFT AND DAMP CLOTH with mild detergent
to clean the interior surfaces, front and rear of the door and the door opening.
DO NOT ALLOW GREASE or food particles to
build up around the door.
FOR STUBBORN STAINS, boil a cup of water in the oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the marks.
ADDING SOME LEMON JUICE to a cup of water, plac-
ing this on the turntable and boiling for a few minutes can eliminate odors inside the oven.
DO NOT USE STEAM CLEANING APPLIANCES when
cleaning your microwave oven.
THE OVEN should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.
THE GRILL ELEMENT does not need cleaning since the intense heat will burn off any splashes, but the ceiling beneath it may need regular cleaning. This should be done with a soft and damp cloth with mild detergent.
IF THE GRILL IS NOT USED REGULARLY, it should be
run for 10 minutes a month to burn off any splashes, in order to reduce the risk of fire.

CAREFUL CLEANING:
THE CRISP-PLATE should be cleaned in mild, detergent water. Heavily soiled areas can be cleaned with a scouring cloth 
and a mild cleanser. ALWAYS let the crisp-plate
cool off before cleaning.
DO NOT immerse or rinse with water while
the crisp-plate is hot. Quick cooling may damage it.
DO NOT USE STEEL-WOOL PADS. This will
scratch the surface.
