oven, put a glass of water inside. The
water will absorb the microwave ener-
gy and the microwave oven will not be
damaged.
* Do not store or use this appliance out-
doors.
* Do not use this product near a kitchen
sink, in a wet basement, or near a swim-
ming pool, or similar.
* Do not use the cavity for any storage pur-
poses.
* Remove wire twist-ties from paper or
plastic bags before placing bag in the
microwave oven.
* Do not use your microwave oven for
deep-frying, because the oil tempera-
ture cannot be controlled.
* Use hot pads or microwave oven mitts to
prevent burns, when touching contain-
ers, microwave oven parts, and pan after
cooking.
LIQUIDS
• e.g. beverages or water. Overheating
the liquid beyond boiling point can oc-
cur without evidence of bubbling. This
could result in a sudden boil over of the
hot Liquid.
To prevent this possibility the following
steps should be taken:
* Avoid using straight-sided, containers
with narrow necks.
* Stir the liquid before placing the contain-
er in the microwave oven.
* After heating, allow standing for a short
time, stirring again before carefully re-
moving the container from the micro-
wave oven.
After heating baby food or liquids in
a baby bottle or in a baby food jar, al-
ways stir and check the temperature
before serving. This will ensure that the
heat is evenly distributed and the risk
of scalding or burns can be avoided.
Ensure the Lid and the Teat is removed be-
fore heating!
CAREFUL
ACCESSORIES AND
MAINTENANCE
ACCESSORIES
* 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 micro-
wave oven proof and allow microwaves to
pass through them before cooking.
* When you put food and accessories in the mi-
crowave oven, ensure that they do not come
in contact with the interior of the microwave
oven.
* This is especially important with accessories
made of metal or metal parts. If accessories
containing metal comes into contact with
the microwave oven interior, while the micro-
wave oven is in operation, sparking can occur
and the microwave oven could be damaged.
* Metallic containers for food and beverage are
not allowed during microwave cooking.
* Always ensure that the turntable is able to
turn freely before starting the oven. If the
turntable isn’t able to turn freely you should
use a smaller vessel or the Stop turntable
function (see Large vessels).

detergent water. Heavily soiled areas can
be cleaned with a scouring cloth and a
mild cleanser.
* Always let the Crisp Plate cool off before
cleaning.
* Do not immerse or rinse with water
while the Crisp Plate is hot. Quick cooling
may damage it.

stains, boil a cup of water in the oven
for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the
marks.
* 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 clean-
ing since the intense heat will burn off
any splashes, but the ceiling beneath it
may need regular cleaning. This should
be done with a soft and damp cloth with
mild detergent.
* If the Grill is not used regularly, it should
be run for 10 minutes a month to burn
off any splashes, in order to reduce the
risk of fire.

it is possible to use a container of light
plastic suitable for microwave.

frost is better if stirred during defrosting
time.
• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost.
Individual slices defrost more easily.

JET REHEAT
This function allows you to automatically reheat your dishes. The microwave will automatically cal-
culate the needed microwave power level and time to get the best possible result in the shortest
time.
Use this function to reheat ready-made food either frozen, chilled or at room temperature.
Place food onto a microwave safe and oven proof dinner plate or dish.
• The net weight shall be kept within 250-
600g when using this function.
• Ensure the oven is at room temperature
before using this function in order to ob-
tain the best result.
• Arrange the thicker, denser food to the
outside of the plate and the thinner or less
dense food in the middle.
• Place thin slices of meat on top of each
other or interlace them.
• Thicker slices such as meat loaf and sau-
sages have to be placed close to each
other.
• Waiting 1-2 minutes before serving the
reheated food will improves the results,
especially for frozen food.
• Place foil should be scored or pricked
with a fork, to relieve the pressure and to
prevent bursting, as steam builds-up dur-
ing cooking.

• Do not leave the oven door open for long
periods when the Grill is in operation, as this
will cause a drop in temperature.
• If you cook large gratins which require
stopped turntable rotation, then turn the
dish after approximately half the cooking
time. This is necessary for getting colour on
the whole top surface.
• Ensure that the utensils used are micro-
wave and oven safe and heat resistant when
you use this function.
• Do not use plastic utensils when grilling.
They will melt. Items of wood or paper are
not suitable either.
• Be careful, not to touch the ceiling beneath
the grill element.
