PREPARING THE MICROWAVE OVEN

Each individual microwave oven is checked at the factory, but for safety’s sake, after unpacking the oven, you should check carefully that the microwave oven has not been damaged during transport. Check whether there is any visible damage (e.g. in the form of dents or similar), if the 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 shop 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 from it both inside and outside.

Positioning the microwave

The microwave oven should be placed on a flat surface, with clearance of at least 10 cm at the rear, 5 cm at the sides and 20 cm above to ensure sufficient ventilation.

Do not remove the feet of the microwave oven. This oven is designed to be free-standing. Always ensure the vent holes on top of the cabinet are not covered. If they are covered while the microwave oven is in use, there is a risk of it overheating. The microwave oven cannot then be used until it has cooled down.

Do not place the microwave oven or the cord near hot areas, for example gas rings and electric hotplates.

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.

Inserting the glass turntable

Before using the oven, ensure the glass turntable (6) is seated on its spindle (7). It is not designed to be securely held in place, but should be centrally positioned and not come into contact with the sides of the oven during cooking.

Setting the clock

When the oven is connected to the mains, an audible beep will sound and “88:88” will flash three times on the display (1). When a colon (:) starts to flash, the clock can be set. Please note: Each time one of the microwave oven keys is pressed, a beep is heard.

1.Press the Clock (d) key once. “0:00” will appear in the display and the hour figure will flash.

2.Set the correct hour value using the Auto (g) and Auto (h) keys. If a value is not entered within approx. 5 seconds, the procedure will automatically cancel.

3.Press the Clock key once more. The minute value will flash, and can now be set.

4.Press the Clock key to finish the procedure or wait approx. 5 seconds. The display then shows the time.

OPERATING THE MICROWAVE OVEN

The microwave oven is operated in the following way.

1.Place the food to be cooked in the oven and close the door.

2.Select the cooking function and power and preparation time, if relevant (described in “Cooking Times” below). Start cooking by pressing the Instant/ Start (e) key.

3.The oven will start and the display will show unelapsed cooking time. Use the Auto (g) and Auto (h) keys to extend or shorten cooking time while the oven is working.

4.Cooking can be interrupted at any time by pressing the Pause/Cancel key (f). This can be done even

if using manual or express cooking, automatic defrosting, preset programs or cooking with timer.

•One press temporarily interrupts cooking, two presses permanently interrupts cooking.

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

•Cooking that has been temporarily interrupted can be resumed by pressing the Instant/Start key.

5.Once the cooking time set has elapsed, the oven will switch off automatically. The display will show “End”, and 6 beeps will sound. 3 beeps will sound after 3 minutes if the Pause/Cancel key is pressed, or the door is opened.
