and door seal areas and if these areas
are damaged the appliance should not
be operated until it has been repaired
by a service technician trained by the
manufacturer.
Warning! Do not attempt to tamper with
or make any adjustments or repairs to the
door, control panel housing, safety interlock
switches or any other part of the oven. Do
not remove the outer panel from the oven
which gives protection against exposure to
microwave energy. Repairs should only be
by a XualiÄed service person.
Liquids and other foods must not be
heated in sealed containers since they are
liable to explode.

and understands the hazards of improper
use.
For Countertop use:
Allow 15 cm of space on the top of the
oven, 10 cm at the back, 5 cm on one side,
and the other side must be opened more
than 40 cm.
When heating food in plastic or paper
containers, check the oven frequently
as these types of containers ignite if
overheated.
If smoke is emitted or a Äre occurs in the
oven, press Stop/Cancel button and leave

the liquid beyond boiling point can occur
without evidence of bubbling. This could
result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid.

4EN
The contents of feeding bottles and baby
food jars are to be stirred or shaken. The
temperature has to be checked before
consumption to avoid burns.
Do not cook eggs in their shells and whole
hard-boiled eggs by MICROWAVE. Pressure

even after the microwave heating has
ended.
Clean the inside of the oven, door seals
and door seal areas regularly. When food
splatters or spilled liquids adhere to the
oven walls, door seals and door seal areas
wipe off with a damp cloth. Mild detergent
may be used if they get very dirty. The
use of harsh detergent or abrasive is not
recommended.
DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN
CLEANERS.
When using the GRILL or COMBINATION
mode, some foods may inevitably splatter
grease on to the oven walls. If the oven is

which may result in shattering of the glass.
Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents
on the cabinet and the oven door will get
hot during COMBINATION and GRILLING,

Panacrunch pan
See 28 EN
Cooking times
The cooking time depends on the
condition, temperature, amount of food
and on the type of cookware.
Begin with the minimum cooking time
to help prevent overcooking. If the
food is not sufÀciently cooked you can
always cook it for a little longer.
Important!
If the recommended cooking times are
exceeded the food will be spoiled and
in extreme circumstances could catch
Àre and possibly damage the interior of
the oven.
Small quantities of foods
Small quantities of food or foods with
low moisture content can burn, dry
out or catch on Àre if cooked too long.
If materials inside the oven should
ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn
the oven off and remove the plug from
the socket.
Eggs
Do not cook eggs in their shells and
whole hard-boiled eggs by
MICROWAVE. Pressure may build up
and the eggs may explode, even after
the microwave heating has ended.
Piercing Skin
Food with non porous skins, such as
potatoes, egg yolks and sausages
must be pierced before cooking by
MICROWAVE to prevent bursting.
Meat thermometer
Use a meat thermometer to check the
degree of cooking of roasts and
poultry only when the meat has been
removed from the oven. Do not use a
conventional meat thermometer in the
microwave oven because it may cause
sparking.

12 EN
Liquids
When heating liquids, e.g. soup,
sauces and beverages in your
microwave oven, 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:
a Avoid using straight-sided
containers with narrow necks.
b Do not overheat.
c Stir the liquid before placing the
container in the oven and again
halfway through the cooking time.
d After heating, allow it to stand
in the oven for a short time, stir
again before carefully removing
the container.
Paper/plastic
When heating food in plastic or paper
containers, check the oven frequently
as these types of containers ignite if
overheated.
Do not use recycled paper products
(e.g. Kitchen Roll) unless the paper
product is labelled as safe for
microwave oven use. Recycled paper
products may contain impurities which
may cause sparks and/or Àres during
use.
Remove wire twist-ties from roasting
bags before placing the bags in the
oven.
Utensils/foil
Do not heat any closed cans or bottles
because they might explode.
Metal containers or dishes with
metallic trim should not be used during
microwave cooking. Sparking will
occur.
If you use any aluminium foil, meat
spikes or metalware the distance
between them and the oven walls
and door should be at least 2 cm to
prevent sparking.
Feeding bottles/baby food jars
The top and teat or lid must be
removed from feeding bottles or baby
food jars before placing in the oven.
The contents of feeding bottles and
baby food jars are to be stirred or
shaken.
The temperature has to be checked
before consumption to avoid burns.
Fan Motor operation
After using the oven the fan motor may
rotate for a few minutes to cool the electric
components. This is normal and you can
take out food even though the fan motor
operates. You can continue using the oven
during this time.

Grilling
The glass turntable must always be in position when using the oven.
Notes
1. Place food on wire rack on turntable. Place a heatproof plate (Pyrex®) underneath to
catch fat and drips.
2. Never cover foods when grilling.
3. DO NOT attempt to preheat the grill.
4. The grill will only operate with the oven door closed. It is not possible to use the grill
function with the door open.
5. There is no microwave power on the GRILL only program.
6. Most foods require turning halfway during cooking. When turning food, open oven
door and CAREFULLY remove wire rack using oven gloves.
7. After turning, return food to the oven and close door. After closing oven door, press
Start. The oven display will continue to count down the remaining grilling time. It is
quite safe to open the oven door at any time to check the progress of the food as it is

Combination cooking
Notes
1. The wire rack is designed to be used for Combination and Grilling. Never attempt
to use any other metal accessory except the one provided with the oven. Place a
heatproof dish underneath to catch any fat or drips.
2. Use the wire rack only as described. DO NOT use if operating the oven with less than
200 g of food on a manual program. For small quantities do not cook by Combination,
cook by GRILL or MICROWAVE ONLY for best results.
3. Never cover foods when cooking on Combination.
4. DO NOT preheat the grill on Combination.
5. Arcing may occur if the incorrect weight of food is used, the wire rack has been
damaged, or a metal container has been used accidentally. Arcing is Áashes of blue
light seen in the microwave. If this occurs, stop the oven immediately.
6. Some foods should be cooked on Combination without using the wire rack i.e. roasts,
gratins, pies and puddings. The food should be placed in a heatproof non-metallic
dish and placed directly onto the glass tray.
7. DO NOT use plastic MICROWAVE containers on combination programs (unless
suitable for combination cooking). Dishes must be able to withstand the heat of the
top grill - heatproof glass e.g. Pyrex® or ceramic are ideal.
8. DO NOT use your own metal dishes or tins, as the microwaves will not penetrate the
food evenly.
CAUTION! The wire rack must always be used with the glass tray in position.
Remove wire rack from oven by holding the rack and heatproof dish Àrmly. Use oven
gloves when removing accessories. Never touch the outside window or inside metal parts
of the door or oven when taking food in or out due to the high temperatures involved.
