ONLY ALLOW CHILDREN to use the appliance without adult supervision after adequate instructions have been given, so that the child is able to use the appliance in a safe way and understands the hazards of im- proper use. Children should be supervised when using other heatsources (if avail- able) separately or in combination with mi- crowaves due to the high temperatures gen- erated. THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT INTENDED FOR use by per- sons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, un- less they have been given supervision or in- struction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. CHILDREN SHOULD BE SUPERVISED to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS DO NOT HEAT, OR USE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS in or near the oven. Fumes can create a fi re hazard or explosion. DO NOT USE YOUR MICROWAVE oven for drying textiles, paper, spices, herbs, wood, fl ow- ers, fruit or other combustible materials. Fire could result. DO NOT OVER-COOK FOOD. Fire could result. DO NOT LEAVE THE OVEN UNATTENDED, espe- cially when using paper, plastic or oth- er combustible materials in the cook- ing process. Paper can char or burn and some plastics can melt if used when heating foods. Do not leave the oven unattended if you are using a lot of fat or oil since they can overheat and cause a fire! IF MATERIAL INSIDE / OUTSIDE THE OVEN SHOULD IGNITE OR SMOKE IS OBSERVED, keep oven door closed and turn the oven off . Dis- connect the power cord or shut off pow- er at the fuse or circuit breaker panel. READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE DO NOT USE YOUR MICROWAVE oven for heating anything in airtight sealed contain- ers. The pressure increas- es and may cause damage when opening or may explode. EGGS DO NOT USE YOUR MICROWAVE oven for cook- ing or reheating whole eggs with or without shell since they may explode even after microwave heating has ended. THE DOOR SEALS AND THE DOOR SEAL AREAS must be regularly inspected for damage. If these areas are damaged the appliance should not be operated until it has been repaired by a trained service technician. DO NOT USE corrosive chemicals or va- pors in this appliance.

THE APPLIANCE SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED without food in the oven when using microwaves. Operation in this manner is likely to damage the appliance. IF YOU PRACTICE OPERATING the oven, put a glass of water inside. The water will absorb the mi- crowave energy and the oven will not be dam- aged. 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-frying, because the oil temperature cannot be controlled. 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 re- moving the container from the oven. CAREFUL ALWAYS REFER to a microwave 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 be- fore heating! PRECAUTIONS USE HOT PADS OR OVEN MITTS to prevent burns, when touching containers, oven parts, and pan after cooking. Accessi- ble parts may become hot during use, young children should be kept away. DO NOT USE THE CAVITY for any storage purposes. THE VENTILATION OPENINGS on the oven must not be covered.

content. If the food contains egg or cream choose a lower power. 600 W COOKING OF fi sh, meat, vegetables etc. 400 W MORE CAREFUL COOKING e.g. high protein sauces, cheese and egg dishes and to fi nish cooking casseroles. Simmering stews, melting butter. DEFROST DEFROSTING. Softening butter, cheeses. KEEP WARM SOFTENING Ice cream. ACCESSORIES GENERAL IF ACCESSORIES CONTAINING METAL comes in contact with the oven interior, while the oven is in op- eration, sparking can occur and the oven could be damaged. TURNTABLE SUPPORT USE THE TURNTABLE SUPPORT under the Glass turntable. Never put any oth- er utensils on the turntable sup- port. Fit the turntable support in the oven.  GLASS TURNTABLE USE THE GLASS TURNTABLE with all cooking meth- ods. It collects the dripping juic- es and food particles that other- wise would stain and soil the in- terior of the oven. Place the Glass turntable on the turntable support.  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 accesso- ries made of metal or metal parts. ALWAYS ENSURE that the turntable is able to turn freely before starting the oven. If the turnta- ble isn’t able to turn freely you should use a smaller vessel. THERE ARE a number of accessories available on the market. Before you buy, ensure they are suitable for microwave use. WIRE RACK USE THE WIRE RACK when cooking with Grill functions. CHOOSING MICROWAVE POWER

COOKING CHART THE MORE FOOD YOU WANT TO COOK the longer it takes. A rule of thumb is that double amount of food requires almost double the time. THE LOWER STARTING TEMPERATURE, the longer cook- ing time is required. Food at room tem- perature cooks faster than food taken di- rectly from the refrigerator. IF YOU ARE COOKING SEVERAL ITEMS of the same food, such as jacket potatoes, place them in a ring pattern for uniform cooking. SOME FOODS ARE COVERED BY A SKIN OR MEMBRANE e.g. potatoes, apples and egg yolks. These food should be pricked with a fork or cocktail stick to relieve the pressure and to prevent bursting. SMALLER PIECES OF FOOD WILL COOK FASTER than larg- er pieces and uniform pieces of food cook more evenly than irregularly shaped foods. STIRRING AND TURNING OF FOOD ARE techniques used in conventional cooking as well as in mi- crowave cooking to distribute the heat quick- ly to the center of the dish and avoids over- cooking at the outer edges of the food. WHEN COOKING FOOD OF UNEVEN SHAPE or thickness, place the thinner area of food towards the center of the dish, where it will be heated last. FOOD WITH LOT OF FAT AND SUGAR will be cooked faster than food containing a lot of water. Fat and sugar will also reach a higher temperature than water. ALWAYS ALLOW THE FOOD TO STAND for some time after cooking. Standing time always improves the result since the temperature will then be evenly distributed throughout the food.

REHEATING CHART AS IN TRADITIONAL COOKING METHODS, food reheat- ed in a microwave oven must always be heat- ed until piping hot. THE BEST RESULTS ARE ACHIEVED if the food is arranged with the thicker food to the outside of the plate and the thinner food in the centre. PLACE THIN SLICES OF MEAT on top of each other or interlace them. Thicker slic- es such as meat loaf and sausages have to be placed close to each other. WHEN REHEATING STEWS OR SAUCES it is better to stir once to distribute the heat evenly. COVERING THE FOOD helps to keep the moisture inside the food, reduces spattering and shortens the reheating time. WHEN REHEATING FROZEN FOOD portions follow the manufactures instruction on the package. FOOD WHICH CANNOT BE STIRRED, like gratin is best reheated on 400–600 W. SOME MINUTES STANDING TIME will make sure the temperature is evenly distributed throughout the food.

10 - 15 MIN. TURN halfway thru defrosting. MINCED MEAT 500 G 8 - 10 MIN. 5 MIN. TURN halfway thru defrosting. Separate thawed parts. CHOPS, CUTLETS, STEAKS 500 G 7 - 9 MIN. 5 - 10 MIN. TURN halfway thru defrosting. CHICKEN (whole) 1200 G 25 MIN. 10 - 15 MIN. TURN halfway thru defrosting. CHICKEN pieces or fi llets 500 G 7 - 9 MIN. 5 - 10 MIN. TURN / SEPARATE halfway thru defrosting. Shield wingtips and legs with foil to prevent overheating. FISH (whole) 600 G 8 - 10 MIN. 5 - 10 MIN. TURN halfway thru defrosting and shield the tail with foil to prevent overheating. FISH (steaks or fi llets) 400 G 6 - 7 MIN. 5 MIN. TURN halfway thru defrosting. Separate thawed parts. LOAF OF BREAD 500 G 4 - 6 MIN. 5 MIN. TURN halfway thru defrosting. ROLLS & BUNS 4 PCS (150 - 200 G) 1 ½ - 2 MIN. 2 - 3 MIN. PLACE in a ring pattern. FRUIT & BERRIES 200 G 2 - 3 MIN. 2 - 3 MIN. SEPARATE during defrosting. DEFROSTING CHART FROZEN FOOD IN PLASTIC BAGS , plastic fi lms or card- board packages can be placed directly in the oven as long as the package has no metal parts (e.g. metal twist ties). THE SHAPE OF THE PACKAGE alters the defrost- ing time. Shallow packets defrost more quickly than a deep block. SEPARATE PIECES as they begin to defrost. Individual slices defrost more easily. SHIELD AREAS OF FOOD with small pieces of aluminiumfoil if they start to become warm (e.g. chicken legs and wing tips). TURN LARGE JOINTS halfway through the defrost- ing process. BOILED FOOD, STEWS AND MEAT SAUCES defrost better if stirred during defrosting time. WHEN DEFROSTING it is better to under- thaw the food slightly and allow the process to fi nish during standing time. STANDING TIME AFTER DEFROSTING always im- proves the result since the temperature will then be evenly distributed through- out the food.

PLACE vessle on the turntable. GRILLING CHART THE GRILL FUNCTION IS EXCELLENT for browning the food after cooking with microwaves. THE WIRE RACK may be used to move foods clos- er to the grill element for quicker browning. PLACE THIN FOODS such as toasts and sausages on the wire rack and cook with grill only. THICKER FOODS such as gratins and chicken; Cook with microwaves fi rst and then allow the grill to brown the top surface in order to put some colour to it. YOU MAY PLACE vessels or gratins directly on the Glass turntable. ENSURE that the utensils you use are heat re- sistant, ovenproof and allow microwaves to pass through them before Grilling with microwaves combined. DO NOT use plastic utensils when grilling. They will melt. Items of wood or paper are not suitable ei- ther.

any food deposits removed. MAINTENANCE & CLEANING CLEANING IS THE ONLY MAINTENANCE normally re- quired. It must be carried out with the micro- wave oven disconnected. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE OVEN in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely aff ect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation. DO NOT USE METAL SCOURING PADS, ABRASIVE CLEANSERS, steel- wool pads, gritty wash- cloths, etc. which can damage the control pan- el, and the interior and exterior oven sur- faces. 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 turnta- ble support and wipe the base of the oven clean. THIS OVEN IS DESIGNED to operate with the turnta- ble 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. DISHWASHER SAFE: TURNTABLE SUPPORT. GLASS TURNTABLE. WIRE RACK DO NOT USE STEAM CLEANING APPLIANCES when cleaning your microwave oven. THE GRILL ELEMENT does not need cleaning since the intense heat will burn off any splashes, but the ceiling beneath it may need regular clean- ing. 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.

IF THE OVEN DOES NOT WORK, do not make a service call until you have made the following checks: The Turntable and turntable support is in place. The Plug is properly inserted in the wall socket. The Door is properly closed. Check your Fuses and ensure that there is power available. Check that the oven has ample ventilation. Wait for 10 minutes, then try to operate the oven once more. Open and then close the door before you try again. THIS IS TO AVOID unnecessary calls for which you will be charged. When calling for Service, please give the serial number and type number of the oven (see Ser- vice label). Consult your warranty booklet for further advice.
