Safety Instructions
•
The built-in safety interlock switches prevent the
microwave oven from operating when the door is
Utensil safety
open.
Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resistant
glassware utensils are excellent for use in the
microwave oven. Although microwave energy will not
heat most glass and ceramic items, these utensils
can become hot as heat transfers from the food to
the container. The use of oven gloves to remove
dishes is recommended.
•
•
Do not tamper with them, or attempt to operate
the oven with the door open as open door
operation can result in exposure to microwave
energy.
Do not allow food spills or cleaner residue to
accumulate on door sealing surfaces. See the
Cleaning and Care section for cleaning
instructions.
Do not operate the oven if it is damaged until it
has been repaired by qualified service personnel.
It is particularly important that the oven door
closes properly and that there is no damage to
the: (1) door (warped), (2) hinges and latches
(broken or insecure), (3) door seals and sealing
surface.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to
repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out
by inexperienced persons may cause injury or
serious malfunctioning. Contact your local Service
Force Centre.
Safety instructions when cooking with grill
or combination modes.
•
•
1. The glass viewing window may break if water is
spilled on it during grilling or convection cooking.
2. Be sure to use an oven glove when loading and
unloading the oven. Containers get very hot in the
oven, so be careful not to burn yourself. The turn-
table and metal rack also get very hot so be sure to
use an oven glove when handling them.
3. Do not touch the inner or outer viewing window with
metal components when loading or unloading the
oven. The inside of the door and oven get very hot
so take care when attending food in the oven.
4. Do not put the turntable or containers in cold water
or try to cool them quickly after use.

use neither for commercial use as this will
invalidate the guarantee.
ஊ
It is quite normal for steam to be emitted around
the door, or for misting to occur on the door, or
even for water droplets to appear below the door
during the cooking cycle. This is merely
condensation from the heat of the food and does
not affect the safety of your oven. The door is
not intended to seal

Testing suitability of cookware
Food safety
•
Place the cookware in the microwave along with a
glass half full of water. Heat on 900 W (100%) for
one minute. If the cookware feels hot, you should
not use it. If it is just slightly warm, you can use it
for reheating but not for cooking. If the dish is
room temperature, it is suitable for microwave
cooking.
Paper napkins, wax paper, paper towels, plates,
cups, cartons, freezer wrap and cardboard are
great convenience utensils. Always be sure
containers are filled with food to absorb energy
and thus avoid the possibility of overheating.

3. Turn large items, e.g. joints, halfway through the defrosting time.
4. Remove any thawed food as soon as possible.
5. Remove or open any packaging before defrosting.
6. Place food in a larger container than that which it was frozen in, this will allow for easy stirring.
7. Begin thawing poultry, breast side down and turn over halfway through defrosting time or at pause.
Delicate areas such as wing tips can be shielded with small pieces of smooth foil.
8. Standing time is very important, particularly for large, dense foods which cannot be stirred to ensure that
the centre is completely defrosted before cooking.

’ Crunchie ’ Function
This function is used to cook/reheat all types of FROZEN “snacks” available on the market, such as: bread,
savouries, pizzas, pies, flavoured hamburgers, “patate duchessa”, various pastries, croissants, etc.
For best results, follow these simple general rules/suggestions:
Note : The CRUNCH dish should ALWAYS be pre-heated before cooking (the oven performs this operation
automatically on setting an “Sn” program and pressing START.
Note : ALWAYS refer to the table (page 25) before cooking, to check which category the food being cooked
falls into.
1. Press the CRUNCHIE button repeatedly until the desired category appears on the display (each
time the button is pressed, the display will show the message “ Sn01 , Sn02 , Sn03 “, etc. and the
corresponding LED at the top will light up).
2. Once the category has been selected, place the CRUNCH dish in the oven (directly on the
turntable), close the door and press the START button. The oven will automatically heat the plate
for 2 minutes, displaying the alternating massages “ PRE -HEAt ” (preheating).
3. At the end of the preheating phase (signalled by 4 “beeps”), remove the CRUNCH dish from the
oven, using oven gloves (careful, it will be very hot!) and place the food being cooked/reheated on
the plate. Put the CRUNCH dish back in the oven and press the START button again. The display
will show the remaining cooking time and the microwave power level indicator will light up.
WARNING : Caution: when cooking/reheating the food, the oven works in combigrill mode; as a
result, pay careful attention when removing the food from the oven, as both the CRUNCH
dish and the heating element at the top of the cavity will be very hot.

Microwave Hints
Microwave Tips
•
Always keep the oven clean – avoid spill-overs
and do not forget to clean under the glass tray
and the inside of the door.
Preferably use round or oval casseroles with a lid
when cooking in your microwave oven.
Do not use metal or metal decorated casseroles.
Certain plastic materials can melt and be warped
by hot food.
•
Softening Honey
If you have a jar of honey which has
crystallised, remove lid and place the jar in the
oven, microwave on medium power for 2
minutes.
•
•
•
•
Melting Chocolate
Break 100g of chocolate into squares, place in
A bowl and heat on high power for 1-2
minutes and stir well.
•
•
•
Cover the food when cooking. Use a glass lid, a
plate or grease proof paper.
Pastry, bread and the like can be defrosted
directly in a bread basket or on a paper towel.
If frozen food is heated in its packaging, the
packaging should be opened. Packaging
containing metal or metal decoration must not be
used unless specifically recommended for use in
the microwave. Remove metal clips and wire ties.
Smaller pieces of aluminium foil can be used to
cover parts that easily over cook such as chicken
legs.
Food with peel or skin should be pierced with a
fork – e.g. potatoes and sausages. Do not boil
eggs in the microwave oven as they can explode.
Put large, thick pieces close to the edge of the
casserole and try to cut the food in to even sized
pieces. Always place the food in the centre of the
oven.
Softening or Melting Butter
Melting takes a few seconds on high power.
Softening is best done more gently on low
power.
•
•
Freshen or Warm Bread
Use medium power for few seconds.
•
•
•
Peeling Garlic easily
Heat 3 or 4 cloves of garlic on high power for
15 seconds. Squeeze at one end until the
clove pops out.
•
•
Fruit Juice
Citrus fruits will yield more juice if they are
heated on high power for 15 seconds before
squeezing.
•
•
The food will be evenly cooked if you stir or turn it
a few times.
Cooking Porridge
Always set a shorter cooking time than indicated
in your recipe to avoid over cooking. The larger
the amount of food the longer it takes.
Use little or no water for vegetables.
Use less salt and spices than for ‘normal’ cooking.
Season afterwards.
Allow a few minutes ‘standing’ time after the oven
has switched off to ensure complete and even
cooking results.
Porridge is easily cooked in the serving dish
with no sticky pan to wash. Follow food
manufacturers’ recommendations.
•
•
•
•
•
•
Always ensure food is piping hot throughout
before serving.
Use pot holders or gloves when taking dishes and
food from the oven.

Care and cleaning
The oven must always be clean. Residue of food from spillovers or spatters will attract microwave energy
causing it to burn on. This could reduce the efficiency of the oven and may cause bad odours. Do not attempt
to tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to any part of the oven. Repairs should only be done by a
qualified service technician.
Be sure the oven is disconnected from the electricity supply before cleaning.
Cleaning the accessories (turntable and support)
Clean them with mild detergent after removing them from the cavity. The turntable support should be carefully
handled.
CAUTION: The inside of the oven and turntable get very hot, so do not touch them immediately after use.
Cleaning the interior
Always keep the inside of the oven clean. Wipe up spill-overs and food spatters immediately. Deposits that are
allowed to remain on the oven walls, door seal and door surface will absorb microwave energy, reduce the
efficiency of the oven, and possibly damage the oven interior. Use mild, liquid detergent, warm water and a
soft, clean cloth to remove deposits.
NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS, COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS OR STEEL WOOL PADS ON
ANY PART OF THE MICROWAVE OVEN.
To loosen difficult deposits, boil a cup of water in the microwave oven for 2 or 3 minutes.
NEVER USE A KNIFE OR ANY UTENSIL TO REMOVE DEPOSITS FROM OVEN SURFACES.
To remove odours from the oven interior, boil a cup of water plus 2 tablespoons of lemon juice for 5 minutes.
Cleaning the Grill
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 next using of the oven. Stains grill may cause unpleasant odours and
smoke.
The turntable motor is sealed. Nevertheless, be careful to avoid the water pene-trating under the turntable
spindle (D) when the bottom of the oven is being cleaned.
To make the cleaning of the inside of the oven easier, the upper heating element can be lowered by turning
the ceramic hook.
Cleaning the exterior
Open the oven door when cleaning the control panel. This will prevent the oven from being turned on
accidentally. You should clean outside surfaces of the oven with mild liquid detergent and water followed by a
wiping with clear water to remove any excess detergent. Dry with a soft cloth.
Spray-on window cleaners or all purpose spray-on kitchen cleaners can also be used. Never use abrasive
cleaners, scouring pads or harsh chemicals on outside surfaces of your oven. To prevent damage to the
working parts, do not allow water to seep into ventilation openings.
