Safety Precautions
•To prevent delayed boiling and possible scalding, you should put a plastic spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after heating.
Reason: During the heating of liquids the boiling point can be delayed; this means that eruptive boiling can start after the container is removed from the oven. You may scald yourself.
•In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions:
•Immerse the scalded area in cold water for at least 10 minutes.
•Cover with a clean, dry dressing.
•Do not apply any creams, oils or lotions.
•NEVER fill the container to the top and choose a container that is wider at the top than at the bottom to prevent the liquid from boiling over. Bottles with narrow necks may also explode if overheated.
•ALWAYS check the temperature of baby food or milk before giving it to the baby.
•NEVER heat a baby’s bottle with the teat on, as the bottle may explode if overheated.
9.Be careful not to damage the power cable.
•Do not immerse the power cable or plug in water and keep the power cable away from heated surfaces.
•Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cable or plug.
10.Stand at arm’s length from the oven when opening the door. Reason: The hot air or steam released may cause scalding.
11.Keep the inside of the oven clean.
Reason: Food particles or spattered oils stuck to oven walls or floor can cause paint damage and reduce the efficiency of the oven.
12.You may notice a “Clicking” sound during operation(especially when the oven is in defrosting).
Reason: This sound is normal when the electrical power output is changing.
13.When the microwave oven is operating without any load, the power will be cut off automatically for safety. You can operate the oven normally after letting it stand for over 30 minutes.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSRTUCTIONSDuring cooking, you should look into the oven from time to time when food is being heated or cooked in disposable containers of plastic, paper or other combustible mate- rials.
IMPORTANTYoung children or infirm persons should NEVER be allowed to use or play with the microwave oven. Nor should they be left unattended near the microwave oven when it is in use. Items of interest to children should not be stored or hidden just above the oven.
Installing Your Microwave Oven
Place the oven on a flat, level surface that strongenough to safely bear the weight of the oven.20cm | 10cm | 1. When you install your oven, make sure there is adequate |

2.Remove all packing materials inside the oven.
Install the roller ring and turntable.
Check that the turntable rotates freely.
✽Never block the air vents as the oven may overheat and automatically switch itself off. It will remain inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently.
✽For your personal safety, plug the cable into a
earthed socket. If the power cable of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
✽Do not install the microwave oven in hot or damp surroundings like next to a traditional oven or radiator. The power supply specifications of the oven must be respected and any extension cable used must be of the same standard as the power cable supplied with the oven. Wipe the interior and the door seal with a damp cloth before using your microwave oven for the first time.
How a Microwave Oven Works
Cooking Principle1.The microwaves generated by the magnetron are distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly.
2.The microwaves are absorbed by the food up to a depth of about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cooking then continues
as the heat is dissipated within the food.
3. Cooking times vary according to the container used and the properties of the food:
• Quantity and density
•Water content
•Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)
☛As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking continues even when you have taken the food out of the oven. Standing times specified in recipes and in this booklet must therefore be respected to ensure:
•Even cooking of the food right to the centre
•The same temperature throughout the food
