INSTALLATION BEFORE INSTALLING THE OVEN Make sure that the oven door closes correctly and that the seal is not damaged. PLACE Take account of the following recommendations when installing the microwave: 1. Keep it away from heat sources (e.g. oven). Heat affects correct appliance operation. 2. Keep a distance of about 3 cm between the wall and the back part. Allow a minimum space of 3 cm between the microwave top and the unit, if the appliance is to be installed below a unit.
OPERATION USE OF THE MICROWAVE - Do not use the oven cavity for storage purposes. - Do not leave paper, cooking utensils or food in the cavity when not in use. - Make sure that children do not swing on the door when it is open. The oven should not be operated empty when using microwaves. Operation in this manner is likely to damage the appliance. If you want to practice programmmg, put a glass of water inside the oven, to absorb the microwaves.
OPERATION ACCESSORIES Turntable support - Use the support under the glass turntable. - Do not put any tool on the support, only the glass turntable. - The support can be washed in the dishwasher. Positioning: - Put the support on the seat in the bottom of the microwave (internal cavity). Glass turntable - Use the turntable with all cooking methods. The turntable collects the dripping juices and food particles that otherwise would stain the inside of the oven. - The turntable can be washed in the dishwasher.
Microwave oven features 1. One-Touch Door Open Button. Push to open door. 2. Door Safety Lock System. The oven will not operate unless the door is securely closed. 3. Window with Metal Shield. Shield prevents microwaves from escaping. It is designed as a screen to allow you to view food as it cooks. 4. Glass Turntable This turntable turns food as it cooks for more even cooking.

You can also use it to extend cooking time in multiples of one minute, up to 99 minutes. NOTES: To extend cooking time in multiples of one minute, touch ADD MINUTE repeatedly during cooking. You can use ADD MINUTE when timed cooking, defrosting, or running any function with preset time (for example, BEVERAGE).
USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN Reheating tips Cooked food and leftovers can be reheated quickly and efficiently without spoiling their freshness and taste. Always place the dense food at the outer edges and the more porous food towards the center. To keep food moist during reheating, cover the food with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap. Covering the food keeps heat in the food, speeds heating, and prevents spatters. Wrap sandwiches and rolls loosely in paper towels to absorb moisture and prevent sogginess.
Cooking at different cook powers For best results, some recipes call for different cook powers. The lower the cook power, the slower the cooking. Each Number pad also stands for a different percentage of cook power. Many microwave cookbook recipes tell you by number, percent, or name which cook power to use. COOK POWER NAME l0=l00% of full power High The following chart gives the percentage of cook power each Number pad stands for, and the cook power name usually used.

MAINTENANCE General recommendation Always disconnect the microwave before any cleaning or technical check. CLEANING THE MICROWAVE 1. Clean at regular intervals, especially if spill-overs have occurred, or around the door if there are deposits of food. 2. Remove the turntable, for easier cleaning. 3. Do not use abrasive solvents or metal scouring pads. They will damage the microwave oven. 4.
USEFUL HINTS General recommendation: Like other electrical appliances close supervision is necessary when the microwave oven is used by children. USE OF THE MICROWAVE Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as described in this user guide. It must not be used for industrial or laboratory purposes, as it was designed to heat or cook food. * Do not use the microwave oven to dry textiles, paper, spices, herbs, wood, flowers or other combustible materials.Fire could result.
* When heating liquids, e.g. beverages or water, remember that the liquid can be heated beyond its boiling point without bubbles appearing. This could result in a sudden boil-over of the liquid. To prevent this situation: 1. Avoid the use of narrow necked containers. 2. Stir the liquid before putting the container in the oven. 3. Leave the container to stand for a short time and stir again before removing the container from the oven. Liquids in baby bottles: 1.
THE STANDING TIME To improve cooking or defrosting results and to enable an even temperature distribution in the food, when cooking calculate the standing time. * Remember that in a microwave oven food continues to cook even when the microwaves are turned off. It is no longer cooked by the emission of microwaves but by the conduction of the high residual heat in the food. * The length of the standing time depends on the volume and density of the food.
USEFUL HINTS * Aluminium foil must only be used to protect parts of food which could cook too much; e.g. chicken wings, the ends of chicken thighs and fish tails. To avoid sparks, aluminium foil must not touch the oven walls. Food containers and other container must not come into contact with the oven walls, either. * Aluminium containers: Throw-away aluminium containers can be used in the new generation of microwave ovens, always complying with the following recommendations: 1.
Container shape Round or oval are the recommended shapes because they give better cooking results. With square or rectangular containers the food may over-cook in the corners, because they absorb more energy. Depth: Shallow container give better cooking results. TROUBLE SHOOTING Before making a service call make the following checks: 1. Check that the support and turntable are in place. 2. Check that the oven is plugged in properly. 3.
