Inserting the glass turntable

Before using the microwave oven, ensure the glass turntable (7) is correctly seated on its roller ring (8) and spindle (9). The glass turntable should be on the roller ring in the recess in the bottom of the microwave oven, so the pin on the spindle fits between two of the three pins on the underneath of the glass turntable.

Before using the microwave oven for the first time

The first time the microwave oven is used, it may give off a little smoke and a slight odour. This is due to oil residue from production and is neither abnormal nor dangerous. To eliminate the odour, start grill programme no. 1 and leave to run for several minutes. The odour and smoke should then disappear. If not, repeat this procedure.

PREPARING THE MICROWAVE OVEN

Each individual microwave oven is checked at the factory, but for safety’s sake, after unpacking the appliance, you should check carefully that it has not been damaged during transport. Check whether there is any visible damage (e.g. in the form of dents or similar), if the oven door (3) closes properly, and if the hinges are in order. If it appears that the microwave oven has been damaged, you must contact the store where you bought it, and do not use it until it has been checked by an authorised specialist.

Before using the microwave oven, you should check that you have removed all packaging both inside and outside.

Positioning the microwave oven

The microwave oven should be placed on a flat surface that can support its weight (16 kg). There must be clearance of at least 10 cm at the rear, 8 cm at the sides and 30 cm above to ensure sufficient ventilation.

Connecting the microwave oven

The microwave oven must be connected to a 230-volt AC current, 50 Hz. The guarantee is not valid if the microwave oven is connected to the wrong voltage. When the power to the appliance is switched on, a beep is heard and the display (d) shows "00.0".

•You can also set the cooking time using the 10 min (a), 1 min (b) and 10 sec (c) buttons and then pressing the Start/Reset button.

2.Use the Start/Reset button to extend cooking time while the oven is working. Each time you press the button the cooking time is extended by 1 minute.

3.Use the Start/Reset button to interrupt cooking at any point. If you press and hold the button for 2 seconds, cooking will stop and the timer will be reset.

•Cooking can also be temporarily interrupted by opening the door (practical if the food needs turning).

4.A temporary interruption to cooking can be cancelled by pressing the Start/Reset button.

Manual cooking – selecting power level

1.Press the Micro/Defrost/Grill button (e) to select power required. See the various power levels in the table below.

2.When the display shows the required power (see "Indication in the display" in the table below) enter the required cooking time using the 10 min, 1 min and 10 sec buttons.

3.Press the Start/Reset button to commence cooking. Press the Start/Reset button to interrupt cooking at any point.
