INSTALLATION PRIOR TO CONNECTING Check that the voltage on the rating plate corresponds to the voltage in your home. Do not remove the microwave inlet protection plates located on the side of the oven cavity wall. They prevent grease & food particles from entering the microwave inlet channels. Place the oven on a stable, even surface that is strong enough to hold the oven and the food utensils you put in it. Use care when handling. Ensure that the appliance is not damaged.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE Do not heat, or use flammable materials in or near the oven. Fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat or cook food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use. Do not use your microwave oven for drying textiles, paper, spices, herbs, wood, flowers, fruit or other combustible materials. Fire could result.
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. The water will absorb the microwave energy and the oven will not be damaged.
ACCESSORIES GENERAL There are a number of accessories available on the market. Before you buy, ensure they are suitable for microwave use. Ensure that the utensils you use are oven proof and allow microwaves to pass through them before cooking. When you put food and accessories in the microwave oven, ensure that they do not come in contact with the interior of the oven. This is especially important with accessories made of metal or metal parts.
START PROTECTION / CHILD LOCK This automatic safety function is activated one minute after the oven has returned to “stand by mode“. (The oven is in “stand by” when the 24-hour clock is displayed or if the clock has not been set, when the display is blank). The door must be opened and closed e.g. putting food into it, before the safety lock is released. Else the display will show “door“.
HOW TO USE THE TIMER 2 Use this function when you need a kitchen timer to measure exact time for various purposes such as cooking eggs, pasta or letting the dough rise before baking etc. 1 3 1. Press the +/- buttons ( ) to set the desired length of the timer. 2. Press the power button repeatedly to set the power to 0 W. 3. Press the Start button. An acoustic signal will be heard when the timer has finished to count down.
HOW TO USE THE JET DEFROST 2 1 3 1. Press the Jet Defrost button. 2. Press the +/- buttons ( ) to set the weight of the food. 3. Press the Start button. Use this function for defrosting Meat, Fish & Poultry ONLY. Jet Defrost should only be used if the net weight is between 100 - 1200g. Note: the oven continues automatically after 2 min if the food hasn’t been turned. The defrosting time will be longer in this case. Midway through the defrosting process the oven stops and prompts you to “TURN” food.
HOW TO USE THE MANUAL DEFROST Follow the procedure for ”How to use the microwaves” and choose Power Level 160 W when defrosting manually. Check and inspect the food regularly. Experience will give you the times needed for various amounts. 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.
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING Cleaning is the only maintenance normally required. It must be carried out with the microwave oven disconnected. For stubborn stains, boil a cup of water in the oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the marks. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE If the oven does not work, do not make a service call until you have made the following checks: * The Turntable and turntable support is in place. * The Plug is properly inserted in the wall socket. * The Door is properly closed. * Check your Fuses and ensure that there is power available. * Check that the oven has ample ventilation. * Wait for ten minutes and then try to operate the oven once more. * Open and then close the door before you try again.
