To avoid the danger of fire

The microwave oven should not be left

unattended during operation. Power levels that

are too high or cooking times that are too long

may overheat foods resulting in a ﬁre. The

electrical outlet must be readily accessible so that

the unit can be unplugged easily in an

emergency. The AC power supply must be 230 V,

50 Hz, with a minimum 10 A distribution line

fuse, or a minimum 10 A distribution circuit

breaker. It is recommended that a separate

circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

Do not store or use the oven outdoors.

If food being heated begins

to smoke, DO NOT OPEN

THE DOOR. Turn off and

unplug the oven and wait

until the food has stopped

smoking. Opening the door

while food is smoking may

cause a fire. Only use

microwave-safe containers

and utensils. Do not leave

the oven unattended when

using disposable plastic,

paper or other combustible

food containers. Clean the

waveguide cover, the oven

cavity, the turntable and

turntable support after use.

These must be dry and free

from grease. Built-up grease

may overheat and begin to

smoke or catch fire. The

microwave oven is intended

for heating food and

beverages. Drying of food or

clothing and heating of

warming pads, slippers,

sponges, damp cloth and

similar may lead to risk

of injury, ignition or fire.

Do not place ﬂammable materials near the oven

or ventilation openings. Do not block the

ventilation openings. Remove all metallic seals,

wire twists, etc., from food and food packages.

Arcing on metallic surfaces may cause a ﬁre.

Do not use the microwave oven to heat oil for

deep frying. The temperature cannot be

controlled and the oil may catch ﬁre. To make

popcorn, only use special microwave popcorn

makers. Do not store food or any other items

inside the oven. Check the settings after you

start the oven to ensure the oven is operating as

desired. See the corresponding hints in this

operation manual.

To avoid the possibility of injury

WARNING! Do not

operate the oven if it is

damaged or

malfunctioning. Check

the following before use:

a) The door; make sure the

door closes properly and

ensure it is not misaligned

or warped.

b) The hinges and door

safety latches; check to

make sure they are not

broken or loose.

c) The door seals and

sealing surfaces; ensure

that they have not been

damaged.

d) Inside the oven cavity or

on the door; make sure

there are no dents.

e) The power supply cord

and plug; ensure that they

are not damaged.

Never adjust, repair or

modify the oven yourself. It

is hazardous for anyone

other than a competent

person to carry out any

service or repair operation

which involves the removal

of a cover which gives

protection against exposure

to microwave energy.

Do not operate the oven with the door open or

alter the door safety latches in any way. Do not

operate the oven if there is an object between

the door seals and sealing surfaces.

OPERATION

MICROWAVE COOKING ADVICE

To cook/defrost food in a microwave oven, the

microwave energy must be able to pass through

the container to penetrate the food. Therefore it

is important to choose suitable cookware.

Round/oval dishes are preferable to

square/oblong ones, as the food in the corners

tends to overcook.

It is important to turn, rearrange or stir food to

ensure even heating.

Standing time is necessary after cooking, as it

enables the heat to disperse equally throughout

the food.

Food characteristics

Composition Foods high in fat or sugar (e.g. Christmas pudding, mince pies) require less heating

time. Care should be taken as overheating can lead to ﬁre.

Density Food density will affect the amount of cooking time needed. Light porous foods,

such as cakes or bread, cook more quickly than heavy, dense foods, such as roasts

and casseroles.

Quantity The cooking time must be increased as the amount of food placed in the oven

increases (e.g. four potatoes will take longer to cook than two).

Size Small foods and small pieces cook faster than large ones, as microwaves can penetrate

from all sides to the centre. For even cooking make all the pieces the same size.

Shape Foods which are irregular in shape, such as chicken breasts or drumsticks, take

longer to cook in the thicker parts. Round shapes cook more evenly than square

shapes when microwave cooking.

Temperature

of food

The initial temperature of food affects the amount of cooking time needed. Chilled

foods will take longer to cook than food at room temperature. Cut into foods with

ﬁllings (e.g. jam doughnuts) to release heat or steam.

Cooking techniques

Arrange Place the thickest parts of food towards the outside of the dish (e.g. chicken

drumsticks).

Cover Use vented microwave cling ﬁlm or a suitable lid.

Pierce Foods with a shell, skin or membrane must be pierced in several places before

cooking or reheating as steam will build up and may cause food to explode (e.g.

potatoes, ﬁsh, chicken, sausages).

Important! Eggs should not be heated using microwave power as they may

explode, even after cooking has ended (e.g. poached, hard boiled).

Stir, turn and

rearrange

For even cooking it is essential to stir, turn and rearrange food during cooking.

Always stir and rearrange from the outside towards the centre.

Stand Standing time is necessary after cooking to enable the heat to disperse equally

throughout the food.

Shield Some areas of food being defrosted may become warm. Warm areas can be

shielded with small pieces of foil, which reﬂect microwaves (e.g. legs and wings on a

chicken).

Adapting recipes for the microwave oven

If you would like to adapt your favourite

recipes for the microwave, you should take

note of the following: shorten cooking times

by a third to a half. Follow the example of the

recipes in this book.

Foods which have a high moisture content

such as meat, fish, poultry, vegetables, fruit,

stews and soups can be prepared in your

microwave without any difficulty.

Foods which have little moisture, such as

platters of food, should have the surface

moistened prior to heating or cooking.

The amount of liquid to be added to raw

foods, which are to be braised, should be

reduced to about two thirds of the quantity in

the original recipe. If necessary, add more

liquid during cooking.

The amount of fat to be added can be

reduced considerably. A small amount of

butter, margarine or oil is sufficient to flavour

food. For this reason your microwave is

excellent for preparing low-fat foods as part of

a diet.
