cially when using paper, plastic or oth-
er combustible materials in the cook-
ing process. Paper can char or burn and
some plastics can melt if used when
heating foods.
IFMATERIAL INSIDE / OUTSIDE THE OVEN SHOULD
IGNITE OR SMOKE IS OBSERVED, keep oven
door closed and turn the oven off. Dis-
connect the power cord or shut off pow-
er at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
ONLY ALLOW CHILDREN to use the appliance
under adult supervision and after ade-
quate instructions have been given, so that
the child is able to use the appliance in a
safe way and understands the hazards of
improper use.
THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT INTENDED FOR use by per-
sons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
unless used under the supervision of a per-
son responsible for their safety.
ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT during use,
young children should be kept away
DONOT USE YOUR MICROWAVE
oven for heating anything in
airtight sealed contain-
ers. The pressure increas-
es and may cause damage
when opening or may explode.
EGGS
DONOT USE YOUR MICROWAVE oven for cook-
ing or reheating whole eggs with or
without shell since they may
explode even after microwave
heating has ended.
THE DOOR SEALS AND THE DOOR SEAL AREAS must
be regularly inspected for damage. If these
areas are damaged the appliance should
not be operated until it has been repaired

BGENERAL
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.
IFYOU PRACTICE OPERATING the oven, put a glass
of water inside. The water will absorb the mi-
crowave energy and the oven will not be dam-
aged.
REMOVE WIRE TWIST-TIES from paper or
plastic bags before placing bag in
the oven.
DEEPFRYING
DONOT USE YOUR MICROWAVE oven for deep-frying,
because the oil temperature cannot be
controlled.
LIQUIDS
E.G. BEVERAGES OR WATER. Overheating the liquid
beyond boiling point can occur
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:
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.
2. Stir the liquid before placing the container
in the oven and let the teaspoon remain
in the container.
3. After heating, allow standing for a short
time, stirring again before carefully re-
moving the container from the oven.
CAREFUL
ALWAYS REFER to a microwave cookbook for de-
tails. Especially, if cooking or reheating food
that contains alcohol.
AFTER HEATING BABY FOOD or liquids in a
baby bottle or in a baby food
jar, always 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!
PRECAUTIONS
USE HOT PADS OR OVEN MITTS to prevent
burns, when touching containers, oven
parts, and pan after cooking.
DONOT USE THE CAVITY for any storage purposes.

ACCESSORIES
GENERAL
IFACCESSORIES CONTAINING METAL comes in contact
with the oven interior, while the oven is in op-
eration, sparking can occur and the oven could
be damaged.
TURNTABLE SUPPORT
USE THE TURNTABLE SUPPORT under the
Glass turntable. Never put any other
utensils on the turntable support.
Fit the turntable support in the
oven.
GLASS TURNTABLE
USE THE GLASS TURNTABLE with all cooking meth-
ods. It collects the dripping juic-
es and food particles that other-
wise would stain and soil the in-
terior of the oven.
Place the Glass turntable on the turntable
support.
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 micro-
wave oven, ensure that they do not come in
contact with the interior of the oven.
This is especially important with accesso-
ries made of metal or metal parts.
ALWAYS ENSURE that the turntable is able to turn
freely before starting the oven.
THERE ARE a number of accessories available on
the market. Before you buy, ensure they are
suitable for microwave use.
COVER
THE COVER is used to cover food
during cooking and reheating with
microwaves only and helps to re-
duce spattering, retain food mois-
ture as well as reducing the time
needed.
USE THE COVER for two level reheat-
ing.
BABY BOTTLE HOLDER
USE THE BABY BOTTLE HOLDER when
heating baby food in bottles that
are too tall to stand-alone in the
oven. Please see also, the chapter ”Precau-
tions”, for more information about heating
baby food.
(NOT AVAILABLE IN THE UK AND IRELAND).
STEAMER
USE THE STEAMER WITH THE STRAIN-
ER in place for such foods as fish,

MANUAL DEFROST
FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE for “How to cook & reheat
with microwaves” and choose power level 160 W
when defrosting manually.
CHECK AND INSPECT THE FOOD REGULARLY. Experi-
ence will give you the times needed for vari-
ous amounts.
TURN LARGE JOINTS halfway through the defrost-
ing process.
FROZEN FOOD IN PLASTIC BAGS, plastic films or card-
board 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 de-
frosting time. Shallow packets defrost
more quickly than a deep block.
SEPARATE PIECES as they begin to defrost.
Individual slices defrost more easily.
SHIELD AREAS OF FOOD with small
pieces of aluminum foil if
they start to become warm
(e.g. chicken legs and wing
tips).
BOILED FOOD, STEWS AND MEAT SAUCES de-
frost better if stirred during defrost-
ing time.
WHEN DEFROSTING it is better to under-
thaw the food slightly and allow the
process to finish during standing time.
STANDING TIME AFTER DEFROSTING ALWAYS IMPROVES
the result since the temperature
will then be evenly distribut-
ed throughout the food.

FOOD AMOUNT HINTS
MEAT 100G- 2KGMinced meat, cutlets, steaks or roasts.
POULTRY 100G- 2KGChicken whole, pieces or fillets.
FISH 100G- 1.5KGWhole, steaks or fillets.
FOR FOOD NOT LISTED IN THIS TABLE and if the weight is lesser or greater than recommended weight,
you should follow the procedure for “Cook and reheat with microwaves” and choose 160 W when
defrosting.
JET DEFROST
USE THIS FUNCTION for defrosting Meat, Fish & Poultry ONLY.
JET DEFROST SHOULD ONLY BE USED if the net weight is between 100 - 2Kg.
PRESS THE JET DEFROST BUTTON.
PRESS THE + / - BUTTONS to set the weight of the food.
PRESS THE START BUTTON.
MIDWAY THROUGH THE DEFROSTING PROCESS the oven stops and prompts you to TURN FOOD.
Open the door.
Turn the food.
Close the door and restart by pressing the Start button.
NOTE: The oven continues automatically after 2 min. if the food hasn’t been turned. The defrosting
time will be longer in this case.
THIS FUNCTION NEEDS TO KNOW the net weight of
the food. The oven will then auto-
matically calculate the needed time
to finish the procedure.
FROZEN FOODS:
IFTHE FOOD IS WARMER than deep-freeze
temperature (-18°C), choose lower
weight of the food.
IFTHE FOOD IS COLDER than deep-freeze
temperature (-18°C), choose higher
weight of the food.
