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 man-
ner 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.
Do not store or use this appliance outdoors.
Do not use this product near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, or similar.
Do not use the cavity for any storage purposes.
Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in the oven.
Do not use your microwave oven for deep-frying, because the oil temperature cannot be controlled.
Use hot pads or oven mitts to prevent burns, when touching containers, 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 iquid.
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 removing the container from
the oven.
CAREFUL
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.
Always refer to a microwave cookbook for details. Especially, if cooking or reheating food that contains alcohol.
Ensure the Lid and the Teat is removed before heating!

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 in-
terior of the oven.
This is especially important with accessories made of metal or metal parts.
If accessories containing metal comes in contact with the oven interior, while the oven is in operation, sparking
can occur and the oven could be damaged.
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).
TURNTABLE SUPPORT
Use the turntable support under the Glass turntable. Never put any other utensils on the turnta-
ble support.
• Fit the turntable support in the oven.
GLASS TURNTABLE
Use the Glass turntable with all cooking methods. It collects the dripping juices and food parti-
cles that otherwise would stain and soil the interior of the oven.
• Place the Glass turntable on the turntable support.
WIRE RACK(only available in specific models)
• Use the Wire rack with Grill functions.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Cleaning is the only maintenance normally required. It must be carried out with the microwave oven discon-
nected.
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.
Do not use metal scouring pads, abrasive cleansers, steel-wool pads, gritty
washcloths, etc. which can damage the control panel, and the interior and ex-
terior oven surfaces. Use a cloth with a mild detergent or a paper towel with
spray glass cleaner. Apply spray glass cleaner to a paper towel.
Do not spray directly on the oven.
At regular intervals, especially if spill overs have occurred, remove the turnta-
ble, the turntable support and wipe the base of the oven clean.
This oven is designed to operate with the turntable in place.
Do not allow grease or food particles to build up around the door.
For stubborn 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 elimi-
nate odors inside the oven.
Do not use steam cleaning appliances when cleaning your microwave oven.
The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.
The Grill element does not need cleaning since the intense heat will burn off any splashes, but the ceiling be-
neath 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 re-
duce the risk of fire.
CAREFUL CLEANING:
The Crisp plate should be cleaned in mild, detergent water. Heavily soiled areas can be cleaned with a scour-
ing 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.
Do not use steel-wool pads. This will scratch the surface.
DISHWASHER SAFE:
• Turntable support • Wire rack • Glass turntable
Use a soft and damp cloth with mild detergent to clean the interior surfaces,
front and rear of the door and the door opening.
Do not operate the microwave oven when the turntable has been removed for cleaning.

COOKING CHART
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 cook-
ing time is required. Food at room tem-
perature cooks faster than food taken di-
rectly from the refrigerator.
IFYOU 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 ASKIN OR MEMBRANE e.g.
potatoes, apples and egg yolks. These food
should be pricked with a fork or cocktail stick
to relieve the pressure and to prevent bursting.
SMALLER PIECES OF FOOD WILL COOK FASTER than larg-
er pieces and uniform pieces of food cook
more evenly than irregularly shaped foods.
STIRRING AND TURNING OF FOOD ARE techniques
used in conventional cooking as well as in mi-
crowave cooking to distribute the heat quick-
ly to the center of the dish and avoids over-
cooking at the outer edges of the food.
WHEN COOKING FOOD OF UNEVEN SHAPE or
thickness, place the thinner area of
food towards the center of the dish,
where it will be heated last.
FOOD WITH LOT OF FAT AND SUGAR will be
cooked faster than food containing a lot
of water. Fat and sugar will also reach a higher
temperature than water.
ALWAYS ALLOW THE FOOD TO STAND for some time
after cooking. Standing time always improves
the result since the temperature will then be
evenly distributed throughout the food.
