PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL

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.

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 this appliance outdoors.

CAREFUL
ALWAYS REFER to a microwave cookbook for details. Especially, if cooking or reheating food
that contains alcohol.

DO NOT USE this product near a kitchen sink, in
a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, or
similar.

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!

DO NOT USE THE CAVITY for any storage purposes.
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.
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.

ACCESSORIES
GENERAL

TURNTABLE SUPPORT
USE THE TURNTABLE SUPPORT under the
Glass turntable. Never put any other utensils on the turntable support.
Fit the turntable support in the oven.

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.

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.

WHEN YOU PUT FOOD AND ACCESSORIES in the microwave 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.



CRISP HANDLE
USE THE SUPPLIED SPECIAL CRISP
HANDLE to remove the hot Crisp
plate from the oven.

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.

CRISP-PLATE
PLACE THE FOOD DIRECTLY ON THE CRISP-PLATE.
Always use the Glass turntable as support when using 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.). Always use the Crisp function
when preheating the crisp-plate.

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.
LARGE VESSELS
USE THE TURNTABLE STOP button when cooking
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.
The button will not
work with other
functions.

STEAMER
USE THE STEAMER WITH THE STRAINER in place for such foods as fish,
vegetables and potatoes.
ALWAYS PLACE the steamer on the
Glass Turntable.

MANUAL DEFROST
FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE for “cook & reheat with microwaves” and choose power level 160 W when
defrosting manually.

CHECK AND INSPECT THE FOOD REGULARLY. Experience will give you the times needed for various amounts.

FROZEN FOOD IN PLASTIC BAGS, plastic films or cardboard packages can be placed directly in the
oven as long as the package has no metal parts (e.g. metal twist ties).

TURN LARGE JOINTS halfway through the defrosting process.
BOILED FOOD, STEWS AND MEAT SAUCES defrost
better if stirred during defrosting time.

THE SHAPE OF THE PACKAGE alters the defrosting time. Shallow packets defrost
more quickly than a deep block.

WHEN DEFROSTING it is better to underthaw the food slightly and allow the
process to finish during standing time.

SEPARATE PIECES as they begin to defrost.
Individual slices defrost more easily.

STANDING TIME AFTER DEFROSTING ALWAYS IMPROVES
the result since the temperature will then be
evenly distributed throughout the food.

SHIELD AREAS OF FOOD with small
pieces of aluminum foil if they
start to become warm (e.g.
chicken legs and wing tips).

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
CLEANING IS THE ONLY MAINTENANCE normally required. 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 , steelwool pads, gritty washcloths, etc. which can
damage the control panel, 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, remove 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, placing 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 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.
