ENVIRONMENTAL HINTS Packing The packing box may be fully recycled as confirmed by the recycling symbol. Follow local disposal regulations. Keep potentially hazardous packaging (plastic bags, polystyrene etc.) out of the reach of children. Appliance The appliance is built from reusable materials. If you decide to scrap the appliance, it must be disposed of in compliance with local waste disposal regulations. Before scrapping, cut off the mains cord so that the appliance cannot be connected to the mains.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS GENERAL 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.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CONTAINERS Do not use your microwave oven for heating anything in airtight sealed containers. The pressure increases and may cause damage when opening or may explode. EGGS Do not use your microwave oven for cooking or reheating whole eggs with or without shell since they may explode. DEEP-FRYING Do not use your microwave oven for deep-frying, because the oil temperature cannot be controlled. CAREFUL Always refer to a microwave cookbook for details.
HOW TO USE THE OPTIONAL CLOCK DISPLAY 1. Press the Clock button. The left-hand digit (hours) flicker. 2. Press the + / - buttons to set the hours. 3. Press the Clock button again. The two right hand digits (minutes) flicker. 4. Press the + / - buttons to set the minutes. 5. Press the Clock button again. The Clock is set and in operation. HOW TO COOK & REHEAT WITH MICROWAVES Use this function for normal cooking and reheating. 1. Press the + / - buttons to set the time. 2. Press the power button repeatedly.
AUTO DEFROST FUNCTION Your microwave oven has a special automatic defrosting function, which provides you with good end results. The oven needs to know the type of food to be defrosted and the net weight of the food. Auto Defrost is used for defrosting of raw food. 1. Press one of the AUTO DEFROST buttons. 2. Press the + / - buttons to set the weight of the food to be defrosted. 3. Press the START button.
AUTO COOK Your microwave oven has a special auto cook function, which provides you with good end results. The oven needs to know the type of food and the amount of the food. 1. Press one of the cook buttons. 2. Press the + / - buttons to set the amount of food to be reheated. 3. Press the START button. POTATOES (1 - 4 pcs, 250 - 300 g each) POPCORN 1 bag (100 g) BEVERAGES 1 cup (150 ml) HOW TO USE THE + 1 MIN Use this function to “add 1 minute” to the cooking time.
HOW TO USE THE GRILL (M562) Use this function to quickly give a pleasant brown surface to the food. 1. Press the Grill button. 2. Press the + / - buttons to set the time. 3. Press the Start button. Do not leave the oven door open for long periods when the Grill is in operation, as this will cause a drop in temperature. Note: Pressing the Grill button during cooking switches the Grill element on and off. The timer will continue to count down when the Grill element is turned off.
HOW TO USE THE MEMORY The Memory function provides you with an easy way to quickly recall a preferred setting or combination of functions. Simply press a Memory button and then the Start button. The principle of the Memory function is to store whatever function and setting that is currently displayed. When the appliance is plugged in or after a power failure, your oven memories will have stored the following: M1 - 2 minute5 and Power level 10 The memory is fully re-programmable.
HOW TO USE THE TIMER The Timer is easy to use. To do this, simply follow the below procedure. The Timer function is useful when you need an “egg clock” as reminder or measuring the standing time for such items as a big roast, or chicken. 1. Press the TIMER button. 2. Press the + / - buttons to set the TIMER. 3. Press the START button. When the time has elapsed a special acoustic signal sounds and the Timer switches off.
COOKING CHART GENERAL HINTS: The more food you want to cook the longer it takes. A rule of thumb is that double amount of food requires almost double the time. The lower starting temperature, the longer cooking time is required. Food at room temperature cooks faster than food taken directly from the refrigerator. If you are cooking several items of the same food, such as jacket potatoes, place them in a ring pattern for uniform cooking. Some foods are covered by a skin or membrane e.g.
REHEATING CHART GENERAL HINTS: As in traditional cooking methods, food reheated in a microwave oven must always be heated until piping hot. The best results are achieved if the food is arranged with the thicker food to the outside of the plate and the thinner food in the centre. Covering the food helps to keep the moisture inside the food, reduces spattering and shortens the reheating time. When reheating frozen food portions follow the manufactures instruction on the package.
DEFROSTING CHART GENERAL HINTS: 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). The shape of the package alters the defrosting time. Shallow packets defrost more quickly than a deep block. Shield areas of food with small pieces of aluminiumfoil if they start to become warm (e.g. chicken legs and wing tips).
(M562) GRILLING CHART GENERAL HINTS: By combining Microwaves and Grill you can use the advantages of both cooking methods. At the same time as the Grill is browning the food the Microwaves shortens the cooking time and the result is often better. The cooking time is often half of the time required in an ordinary oven. The Grill-grid may be used with the combi function.
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING 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. 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 warm water, detergent and a sponge.
DATA FOR TEST OF HEATING PERFORMANCE In accordance with IEC 705. The International Electrotechnical Commission, SC. 59H, has developed a standard for comparative testing of heating performance of different microwave ovens. We recommend the following for this oven: Test 12.3.1 12.3.2 12.3.3 Amount 750 g 475 g 900 g 12.3.4 1100 g 13.3.0 500 g Approx. time Power level 10 min 10 5 min 10 14 min 10 18 - 20 min Combi / 10 5 - 6 min Auto defrost Container Pyrex 3.220 Pyrex 3.827 Pyrex 3.838 Pyrex 3.
