Melissa 253-013 manual Operating the Microwave Oven

Connecting the microwave oven

The microwave oven must be connected to a 230-volt AC current, 50 Hz. The guarantee is not valid if it is connected to the wrong voltage. When the oven is on, a beep is heard and the display (7) will show ”0:00”.

Setting the clock

1.Press the “CLOCK/PRE-SET” button (a) to select the 12 or 24-hour clock (12H or 24H is shown in the display).

2.Press the Up or Down button (d and e) to set the hour number, which will start to flash.

3.Press the “CLOCK/PRE-SET” button; the minute number will start to flash.

4.Press the Up and Down buttons to set the minute number.

5.Press the “CLOCK/PRE-SET” button to complete the task.

6.The two dots between the figures will start to flash, which means the clock is functioning.

NB! If while setting the clock you press the “STOP/CLEAR” button (i), the task will be interrupted and you will have to start again from the beginning.

NB! If the clock is not set, the microwave oven’s timer function cannot be used.

Inserting the glass turntable

Before using the microwave oven, ensure the glass turntable

(4)is correctly seated on the turntable ring (5) and spindle (6). The glass turntable must lie on top of the turntable ring in the recess of the microwave oven base, so that the three studs on the turntable shaft fit between those on the base of the glass turntable.

Before using the microwave oven for the first time

The first time the microwave oven is used, a small amount of smoke and smell may be emitted. This is due to oil residue from manufacture and is neither abnormal nor dangerous. Smells can be eliminated by starting the grill program and letting it run for a few minutes. Smells and smoke should disappear as a result. Repeat the procedure if this is not the case.

OPERATING THE MICROWAVE OVEN

Basic operation

•Place the food to be cooked in the microwave oven and close the door. Select cooking function as described below and start the microwave oven. Once the cooking time set has elapsed, the oven will switch off automatically. The oven will beep 5 times and the display will return to showing the clock.

•Cooking can be temporarily interrupted at any time by pressing the "STOP/CLEAR" button once. If you press the button twice, the cooking time and the program selected will be cancelled.

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

•When cooking is temporarily interrupted, one or more function indicators will show on the display, and the clock will show the remaining cooking time. Cooking can be resumed by closing the oven door and pressing the "START/+30SEC./CONFIRM" button (h) again.

•During cooking using a program, 30 seconds can be added to the cooking time at any point by pressing the "START/+30SEC./CONFIRM" button. (However, this does not apply to the defrost, multi-stage cooking, automatic reheat and auto menu functions.)

•The maximum cooking time that can be set is 95 minutes.

•If you hold the Up or Down button down during setting, the numbers in the display will change faster.

•During cooking you can always use the "MICROWAVE"

(g) or "CONVECTION/GRILL/COMBI" (f) buttons to check the current microwave power or cooking program. You can also use the “CLOCK/PRE-SET” button to check the current time.

Express cooking

Express cooking takes place at full microwave power for the number of minutes you set.
