Warning and Safety instructions This appliance complies with all relevant legal safety requirements. Improper use can present a risk of both personal injury and material damage. To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance please read these operating instructions carefully before installation and before using it for the first time. They contain important notes on installation, safety, operation and care of the appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply make sure that the rating on the data plate corresponds to the voltage and frequency of the household supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt. Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
Warning and Safety instructions It is important that the heat is allowed to spread evenly throughout the food being cooked. This can be achieved by stirring and/or turning the food, and by observing a sufficiently long standing time, which should be added to the time needed for cooking, reheating or defrosting. Always remember that cooking, reheating and defrosting times using microwave power are usually considerably shorter than with traditional methods of food preparation (Fan plus, Grill).
Warning and Safety instructions Never place the hot glass tray (or any other hot cooking containers) on a cold surface, such as a tiled or granite worktop. The glass tray or container could crack or shatter and the worktop surface could get damaged. Place it on a suitable pot rest or a wire rack. Do not use a steam-cleaning appliance to clean this appliance. Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit. Do not use the appliance to heat up the room.
Warning and Safety instructions This can lead to the liquid boiling over suddenly and explosively. Danger of burning. The formation of bubbles can be so strong that the pressure forces the oven door open. The user could be injured and the appliance damaged. The boiling rod ensures that the liquid boils evenly and that bubbles form at an early stage during the operation.
Warning and Safety instructions To check food temperature, first interrupt the cooking process. Then use a thermometer specifically approved for food use to measure the temperature of the food. Never use a thermometer containing mercury or liquid, as these are not suitable for use with very high temperatures and will break very easily. Traditional oven functions: Fan plus, Grill Caution. Danger of burning. When the oven is being used as a traditional oven it can get very hot.
Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing material The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation. Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure that they are recycled.
Before using for the first time Set the clock To enter the time of day the function selector must be at "0". Cleaning and heating up for the first time ^ Wipe out the oven interior using warm water and a little washing up liquid. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not close the oven door until the oven interior is dry. ^ Wash the accessories. In the timer display: New appliances have a slight smell on first use. To dissipate this smell, run the oven for at least 1 hour with nothing in it.
Operating modes Microwave function Microwave cooking offers the benefits of speed, convenience and nutritional advantages when food does not require browning or crisping. How does the microwave oven function? In a microwave oven there is a high-frequency tube called a magnetron. This converts electrical energy into microwaves. These microwaves are distributed evenly throughout the oven interior and rebound off the metal sides of the oven interior to reach the food from all sides.
Operating modes Traditional oven functions Combination programmes This oven offers the following traditional oven functions: – Microwave + Fan plus h Y – Fan plus Y – Grill n. These cook and brown the food. Fan plus Y This system works by the circulation of heated air. A fan in the back wall draws in the air, heats it over a ring element and blows it back into the oven cavity through the carefully spaced openings in the back panel.
Suitable containers for microwave ovens Microwaves When using microwave power you should always place the food / dish centrally on the glass tray and slide the tray into the first shelf level from the bottom. Placing the dish on the floor of the oven will give unsatisfactory and uneven results. Material and shape – are reflected by metal, The material and shape of containers used affect cooking results and times.
Suitable containers for microwave ovens Exceptions: Glassware – If recommended by the producer, pre-cooked meals in aluminium foil containers can be defrosted and reheated in the appliance using microwave power. Important: Remove the lid first. However, as food is only heated from the top it is better to remove the food from the aluminium foil container and transfer it to a dish suitable for a microwave oven. The heat distribution will be more even.
Suitable containers for microwave ovens Plastics Plastics must only be used with Microwave-Solo. They must be heat-resistant to a minimum of 110 °C. Otherwise the plastic may melt and fuse with the food. Special plastic utensils designed for use in microwave ovens are available from good retail outlets. When purchasing plasticware, make sure that it is suitable for use in a microwave oven. Melamine is not suitable for use in this oven. Melamine absorbs microwave energy and gets hot.
Suitable containers for microwave ovens Testing dishes for their suitability If in doubt as to whether glass, earthenware or porcelain plates or dishes are suitable for use in a microwave oven, a simple test can be performed: ^ Place the container centrally on the glass tray and slide into the lowest shelf level. ^ Close the door. A microwave oven process cannot be started until the door is closed. ^ Turn the function selector to microwave mode. W g V h ^ Press the V button to start the process.
Suitable containers for microwave ovens A cover – prevents too much steam escaping, especially when cooking foods which need longer to cook, such as potatoes.
