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 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 before use that you have removed all packaging from it both inside and out.

Please note! The grey plate on the right-hand side of the oven compartment must NOT be removed! It protects the magnetron.

Positioning the microwave

The microwave oven should be placed on a flat surface, with clearance of at least 7.5 cm from the sides and 30 cm above the microwave oven to ensure sufficient ventilation. Do not remove the feet of the microwave oven. This oven is not suitable for fitting in, and you must check that 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.

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 oven is on, a beep is heard and the display lights up.

Installation of the glass turntable

Before using the microwave oven ensure that:

the turning ring (C) is in the recess around the spindle (B), and that

the glass turntable (D) is fitted to the turning ring.

Be careful when placing heavy or hard containers on the glass turntable, and never prepare food (e.g. bacon) directly on the glass turntable. Direct heat, bangs or knocks may cause the glass to crack or break.

OPERATING THE MICROWAVE OVEN

The microwave oven is operated in the following way.

Place the food to be cooked in the microwave oven and close the oven door (F). Please note: If you use the convection with preheating function, you must not place food in the oven compartment before the oven is warm.

Select the cooking function and power and preparation time, if relevant (described in detail below).

Cooking can be interrupted at any time by pressing the Stop/clear button on the control panel (A). One press temporarily interrupts cooking, two presses permanently interrupts cooking. Cooking can also be interrupted temporarily by opening the door. A temporary interruption to cooking can be cancelled by pressing the Start/OK button.

If the temperature in the oven compartment exceeds 250° C during food preparation, all heat sources are stopped, and only the blower works. Food preparation starts up again when the temperature has fallen below 220° C.

Once the cooking time has passed, the microwave oven stops automatically and 5 beeps are heard.

Each time one of the microwave oven buttons is pressed or the knob is turned, a beep is heard.
