Warning and Safety instructions Warning and Safety instructions This appliance complies with all relevant legal safety requirements Improper use of the appliance can, however, present a risk of both personal injury and material damage. Before installation and before using the appliance for the first time, read the operating instructions carefully. They contain important notes on safety, on the operation and care of the appliance. This way you will avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions Warning and Safety instructions The appliance is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when: – it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug removed. Hold the plug and do not pull on the cable to remove the plug. – The house mains fuse is switched off. The fuse is screwed out ( in countries where this is applicable). Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead.
Warning and Safety instructions Warning and Safety instructions When heating liquids, the boiling rod provided should be placed into the container. Never heat undiluted alcohol in the microwave oven as this can easily ignite. Do not use any containers or cutlery made from or containing metal, aluminium foil, lead crystal glassware, temperature-sensitive plastics, wooden utensils or cutlery, metal clips or wire ties. Do not use bowls with milled rims, or cream pots with the tinfoil lid partly removed.
Warning and Safety instructions Warning and Safety instructions Do not reheat food in the oven in heat-retaining bags intended for normal ovens. These heat-retaining bags usually contain a thin layer of aluminium foil which reflects microwaves. This reflected energy can, in turn, cause the outer paper covering to become so hot that it ignites.
Warning and Safety instructions Warning and Safety instructions When using browning dishes: Always use oven gloves when handling the browning dish to avoid burns. Out of the oven always place the browning dish on a suitable heatresistant mat, grid or board to protect the work surface or table, which could otherwise be heat-marked. Use browning dishes in a microwave oven only, or as a serving dish. In a conventional oven the special glaze would suffer damage.
How the microwave oven functions How the microwave oven functions In the microwave oven, food is cooked, reheated or defrosted considerably more quickly than by any other method. How does the microwave oven function? Microwaves pass through a suitable container and find their way directly into the foodstuff. All foodstuffs contain moisture molecules which, when subjected to microwave energy, start to oscillate 2.5 thousand million times a second.
Calculating power settings Calculating power settings This microwave has 9 power settings. Very often, power is expressed in watts on food packaging or in general recipes for microwaving. The following table should help to convert the watts given to a matching power setting with these ovens. Microwave oven with max.
Suitable containers for microwave ovens Suitable containers for microwave ovens Microwaves Material and shape The material and shape of containers used affect the cooking results and times. Round and oval shaped ones provide good results. Heat distribution is more even than it is in rectangular containers. Metal The following do not belong in an oven being used in microwave mode. Metal containers, aluminium foil and metal cutlery, or china with metallic decoration, such as gold rims or cobalt blue.
Suitable containers for microwave ovens of the process. The aluminium foil must not touch the interior of the oven. Make sure that the aluminium foil is at least 2 cm from the oven walls at all times. It must not touch the walls. – Metal meat skewers or clamps Metal skewers and clamps should only be used if they are very small in comparison to the size of the cut of meat. Glassware Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass are ideal for use in the microwave oven.
Suitable containers for microwave ovens Roasting bags and tubes can be used. Roasting tubes should be about 40 cm longer and roasting bags about 20 cm longer than the food being roasted, and carefully tied with string. Turn the ends over and secure them. Holes should be made according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not use metal clips or wire ties coated in plastic or paper. There is a danger that they will ignite when heated.
Suitable containers for microwave ovens Suitable containers for microwave ovens A cover Do not use a lid / cover – prevents too much steam escaping, especially when cooking foodstuffs which need longer to cook, such as potatoes, – if food coated with breadcrumbs is being cooked. – shortens and evens out the cooking process, – keeps the oven interior cleaner, – prevents food from drying out, – contains the aroma.

Practical tips Practical tips Reheating Select the following microwave power settings, to reheat food: Drinks . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8 Food . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 Food for babies * . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 (See table on page 12 for ovens with maximum microwave output of less than 900/1000 watts.) * We do not recommend heating or reheating foods or drinks for babies or young children in the microwave oven.
Practical tips Practical tips After reheating Be careful when removing a dish from the oven. It may be hot. Although heat is not normally produced in the container itself by the microwaves, (apart from stoneware and similar dishes), heat transfer from the food to the container may be considerable, making the container itself hot. Allow food to stand for a few minutes once a programme has ended to allow heat to be distributed evenly.
Practical tips Practical tips Defrosting Remove the food from its packaging and place in a microwave-safe container, to defrost without a lid. Turn, stir or separate the food about half-way through the programme. To defrost delicate foods, e.g. cream, butter, gateau and cheese, select the microwave setting 1. However to achieve an even result remove from the oven and allow to finish defrosting at room temperature.
Practical tips Practical tips Defrosting and reheating or cooking Deep-frozen pre-cooked food can be defrosted and immediately reheated or cooked, using the combination of an automatic defrost programme, with an automatic cooking programme. Remove the food from its packaging and place in a covered microwave-safe dish for defrosting and reheating or cooking. Exception: Minced meat should be left uncovered while cooking. Soups, stew and vegetables should be stirred several times during the process.
Practical tips Practical tips Examples Melting margarine, butter Melt 100 g at setting 5 uncovered, for approx 1-11/2 minutes. The examples below are for an oven with a maximum microwave power output of 900/1000 watts. For models with a different power output scale, adjust according to the table on page 12. E.g. for a 750 watt model use setting 6 instead of setting 5. Melting chocolate Break 100 g into pieces, melt at setting 5 uncovered, for approx. 2 minutes.
