during transportation. Only the minimum packaging necessary is used.  
Packaging materials (e.g. foil or styrofoam) can place children at risk.  
Danger of suffocation. Keep packaging material away from children.  
All packaging materials used are environmentally friendly and can be  
recycled. The cardboard is made from recycled paper and the wooden  
parts are untreated. Plastic items are marked as follows :  
«PE» polyethylene eg packaging film  
¤
)
!
¤
)
«PS» polystyrene eg packaging (CFC-free)  
«PP» polypropylene eg packaging straps  
By using and re-using the packaging, raw materials are saved and waste  
volume is reduced.  
Packaging should be taken to your nearest recycling centre. Contact your  
local council for information.  
Disposal of old appliances  
Old appliances should be made safe before disposal by removing the  
plug, and cutting off and disposing of the power cable.  
It should then be taken to the nearest recycling centre. Check with your  
local Council or Environmental Health Office to see if there are facilities  
in your area for recycling the appliance.

Microwaves  
• Whenever heating liquid, please also place a teaspoon in the container  
to avoid delayed boiling.  
During delayed boiling, the boiling temperature is attained without the  
typical steam bubbles rising. When the container is shaken, even gently,  
the liquid may then suddenly vigorously boil over or spurt - with the risk  
of scalding the user.  
• Food with «skin» or «peel», such as potatoes, tomatoes, sausages, and  
the like, should be pierced with a fork so that any steam present can  
escape and the food will not burst.  
• Make sure that a minimum temperature of 70°C is attained for the  
cooking / heating of food. Never use a mercury or liquid thermometer for  
measuring the temperature of the food.  
• Baby food in jars or bottles should always be heated without a lid or top,  
and well stirred or shaken after heating, to ensure uniform distribution of  
the heat. Always check the temperature before feeding your child to  
avoid burns.  
• The hot food in a microwave oven will heat up the ovenware. For this  
reason always use oven gloves for handling hot dishes.  
• Never cook your food for too long or at too high a power setting. Some  
areas of the food can dry out or even ignite.  
• Do not use porcelain or ceramic crockery, or porous earthenware (e.g. on  
the handles or unglazed bases) in your microwave as these types of  
dishes can absorb moisture from the food as it is cooking. This can cause  
vapour pressure to build up which could shatter the dish.  
• WARNING: be sure to remove the cap or lid before cooking foods or heating  
liquids in a sealed bottle or container, which could otherwise explode.  
Do not use your microwave oven for the following :  
!
• to boil eggs or escargots in their shells, as they will burst. Eggs can be  
poached in a microwave oven as long as the yolks are pricked.  
• to heat large quantities of cooking oil (fondue or deep frying) and drinks  
containing a high percentage of alcohol - there is danger of  
spontaneous combustion !  
• to heat unopened cans, bottles, etc.  
• to dry animals, textiles or paper.

General operating instructions  
What else to note  
Food comes in all shapes, sizes and textures. The quantities also  
vary. For these reasons the time and amount of energy needed to  
defrost, heat or cook will also vary. As a general rule :  
i
Double the quantity/weight = nearly double the time*  
*Please refer to the cooking charts. To be on the safe side, always  
select the shorter cooking time. Then extend the time as necessary.  
Microwaves work by making the food heat itself up. Because of this, not  
all areas of the food will be heated at the same time.When heating larger  
quantities of food, it is particularly important to stir or turn them over.  
“Standing time” is referred to in the cooking charts.This is the time you  
should leave the food to stand without power (either inside or outside the  
appliance). This ensures even distribution of heat throughout the food.  
MAFF rating  
MAFF RATING  
Explanation of the heating category label for microwave ovens and small  
packs of food (up to 500g / 1 lb, typical of ready meals for 1 or 2 people)  
as agreed by MAFF (the Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food) in  
conjunction with food and Microwave Oven manufacturers.  
Power Rating in Watts

Microwave Symbol  
Always follow food manufacturers instructions when  
cooking ready meals.  
Always ensure that food is piping hot before serving.  
N.B. The higher the power output and heating category of  
the microwave oven, the less heating time is required.

Modes of operation  
The appliance features the following functions:  
Microwave  
In this mode, microwaves generate heat directly in the food. This  
mode is highly suitable for warming, for example, ready cooked  
food and drinks, the defrosting of meat or vegetables, and for  
cooking food like fish and vegetables.  
Grilling  
Heat is generated by a grilling element set in the roof of the oven.  
This is particularly suitable for toasting and grilling e.g. steaks  
and sausages.  
Convection cooking  
A fan in the back wall of the oven circulates the air around a  
circular heating element allowing you to cook as with a traditional  
oven, with or without preheating the oven.  
Combination modes  
The microwave mode can be used together with the grill or  
convection function. Dishes will be cooked more quickly, whilst  
being crisp and brown at the same time.

Practical Tips  
General  
• After switching off your appliance, let food stand for a few minutes to allow even  
heat distribution (standing time).  
• Remove any aluminium foil or packaging containing metal and/or accessories  
before preparing food (unless specifically stated).  
• Metal objects must be placed at least 2 cm away from the cooking space walls and  
door. Otherwise arcing can occur, resulting in damage to the appliance.  
• Check food frequently when grilling.  
Cooking  
• Whenever possible cook food covered. Only pastry dishes with a crust should be  
cooked uncovered.  
• Refrigerated or frozen food require longer cooking times.  
• Foods containing sauces should be stirred from time to time.  
• Cook hard vegetables such as carrots, peas and cauliflower with a little water.  
• Cook soft vegetables such as mushrooms, peppers and tomatoes without liquid.  
• Increase cooking time by approximately 50% for larger pieces. Whenever possible,  
cut vegetables into equal-sized pieces.  
Defrosting of meat, poultry and fish  
• Place frozen, unpacked meat on an inverted plate in a glass or porcelain container, or  
use a sieve, so that the meat juice can drain.  
• Halfway through defrosting, turn the food, dividing it where possible and removing  
the pieces that have defrosted.  
Defrosting of butter, pieces of layer cake and cottage cheese  
• Do not fully defrost in the appliance, but allow to complete defrosting outside the  
appliance. This will give a more even result.  
Defrosting of fruit and vegetables  
• Fruit and vegetables that are to be used raw later should not be fully defrosted in the  
appliance, but left to complete defrosting at room temperature outside the microwave oven.  
• Fruit and vegetables that are to be cooked immediately afterwards can be cooked  
directly on a higher power level without defrosting.  
Ready made meals  
• Ready made meals in metal packages or plastic containers with metal lids should be  
heated or defrosted in your microwave oven only if they are explicitly marked as  
being suitable for microwave use. Please follow the operating instructions printed  
on the packages (e.g. remove the metal lid and pierce the plastic film).

Tips on microwaving  
i
1. You can’t find cooking details  
for a specific quantity of food.  
Base programming on a similar type  
of food. Lengthen or shorten the  
cooking time accordingly:  
Double quantity = almost double time  
Half quantity = half time  
2. The food is too dry.  
Set a shorter cooking time or  
reduce the microwave power level  
setting.  
3. The food is not yet defrosted,  
heated through or cooked on  
completion of programme  
time.  
Select a longer programme time or  
a higher microwave power setting.  
Note that larger food will require a  
longer time.  
4. The food is overcooked on  
the outside and undercooked  
in the middle on completion  
of cooking time.  
Try a lower power setting for a longer  
time. Stir liquids, such as soup,  
periodically.

Cooking charts and tips  
Notes on the baking table  
The range of baking temperatures and times given are for guidance only,  
as they are dependent upon the composition of the dough, the quantity and  
the baking tin size and material.We recommend that you start by using the  
lower temperature setting. Only select a higher temperature if, for example,  
you want to brown food more, or if the baking is taking too long.  
If you cannot find specific instructions for one of your recipes, follow the  
instructions for one which is similar.  
Unless otherwise stated, the settings given in the table are for use in a cold  
oven. “Residual heat” refers to leaving the cooked dish to stand for a short  
time in the appliance at the end of a cook programme.  
Baking tips  
How can you be certain that the  
cake is baked through ?  
Insert a wooden skewer into the  
highest part of the cake. If it comes out  
clean, you can turn off the oven and  
leave the cake in the “residual heat”.  
If the cake collapses (or is soggy, Check the recipe. Use less liquid next

appliance for a short time and then  
remove the biscuits immediately. Use  
baking parchment next time.  
The cake does not come out of the  
tin when turned upside down.  
Carefully loosen the cake from the side  
of the tin with a knife. Turn the cake  
upside down again and cover the tin  
with a moist, cold cloth several times.  
Next time, grease the cake tin well and  
also sprinkle breadcrumbs on the  
bottom.

Cleaning and care  
i
The Appliance Exterior  
Wipe the front of the appliance using a soft cloth and a mild, warm  
detergent solution.  
Do not use abrasive cleaning substances, strong detergents or coarse  
abrasive cleaning materials.  
Do not clean the appliance with a steam cleaner.  
Cooking area  
Failure to clean the appliance regularly may damage its surfaces, reduce  
durability and lead to hazardous operation. Remember to clean your appliance  
after use and remove any food residue. The interior will remain in good condition  
for a long time so long as you don't use scouring pads or rough abrasive  
materials. Use mild dishwashing liquid to clean the interior, with special attention  
to the door seal and adjoining area.  
The grill heating element is built into the appliance and cannot be removed. The  
element may be stained with spattered fat or oil while the oven is in use. Wait  
until the cavity cools down and wipe off the spattered oil before the oven is used  
again. Stained grills may cause unpleasant odours and smoke.  
You can neutralise odours inside the cooking area by boiling a cup of water with  
a little lemon juice for a few minutes in your oven.  
Through normal operation, liquid may evaporate and condensation may occur.  
This is normal and is especially noticeable when the room temperature is high  
and the humidity of the air is low. After operation, be sure and wipe off the  
condensation with a soft cloth.  
Turntable and Turntable support  
The turntable can be removed for easy  
cleaning.Wells are provided on both sides  
for easy access.  
Clean the turntable using washing-up liquid,  
or put it in the dishwasher. Clean the  
turntable support with washing-up liquid.  
These should be removed and cleaned straight after each use.  
Care of accessories  
Place the wire rack and/or glass pie dish in soapy water immediately  
after use so they may be easily cleaned with a sponge.
