Installing Your Microwave oven

Place the oven on a flat level surface 85cm above the floor. The

EN surface should be strong enough to safety bear the weight of the oven.

Remove all packing materials inside the oven.

 

 

 

Install the roller ring and turntable.

 

 

 

Check that the turntable rotates freely.

3.This microwave oven has to be positioned so that plug is accessible.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent. For your personal safety, plug the cable into a 3-pin, 220 Volt,

50 / 60Hz, AC earthed socket. If the power cable of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cable.

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.

Setting the Time

Your microwave oven has an inbuilt clock. The time can be displayed in either the 24-hour or 12-hour notation. You must set the clock:

•When you first install your microwave oven

•After a power failure

Do not forget to reset the clock when you switch to and from summer and winter time.

How a Microwave Oven Works

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing either the form or the colour.

You can use your microwave oven to:

•Defrost

•Instant Reheat/Cook

•Cook

Cooking Principle

1.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 recipient 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
