You can use your appliance to defrost, heat and cook food much more
quickly than with a conventional cooker.
Food
Prohibited food
If you choose a microwave cooking method, you must never:
• Fry food as it is impossible to control the temperature of the oil or fat
content (risk of catching fire).
• Cook eggs in their shell, hard-boiled eggs or snails as they are likely to
explode, even after having been cooked.
• Cook food with a whole husk or shell (sweet chestnuts), or with a hard
skin (such as tomatoes, potatoes and sausages). Always cut through the
shell first or prick skins.
Temperature of food
Thanks to the properties of microwave ovens, only the food heats
up, with the container thus remaining cold or just warm while the
food it contains gets extremely hot.
The contents of feeding bottles and pots of baby food must be stirred or
shaken and the temperature checked before consumption to avoid
scalding.
Shake feeding bottles well and pour out a few drops of liquid onto the
back of your wrist to check its temperature.
Apply similar precautions for all dishes cooked using the microwave.
Food preparation
Before heating feeding bottles and small pots, remove the teats and lids.
Remember to cover the food:
• to avoid it splashing against the enclosure of the oven,
• to retain enough water content for cooking.
Reheating liquids
When you use a microwave oven to heat up drinks, there can be sudden
burst from the boiling liquid as it is removed from the oven or shortly after.
Precautions must be taken when handling the container.
Indeed, after boiling point has been reached, bubbles are captured at the
bottom of the container to be released only when you move it.
To avoid this physical phenomenon and prevent risks of scalding, always
put a plastic spoon in the container to be heated.
Containers and materials
Only use utensils suited for use in microwave ovens.
Below you will find details on the different types of containers that are
recommended or prohibited for the various cooking methods used.
To avoid projections of grease, especially when cooking poultry or
meat, use enamelled earthenware dishes. Always leave at least 2 cm
between the grill resistor element and the food.
10. Never block the air vents: the oven could overheat.
If this happens, your appliance will stop automatically and then remain
inoperative until it has cooled down enough.
11. Precautions to avoid possible exposure to microwaves:
It is dangerous for anyone other than a qualified person to perform
maintenance or repair operations involving the removal of a cover
protecting against exposure to microwave energy.
• Do not try to run your appliance when the door is open, touch the
door safety locking system or insert anything inside that system.
• Do not place any object that could obstruct opening or closing of the
door.
• Do not let any remainders of food or cleaning products accumulate on
door seals. Ensure that the door and its seals remain clean. After use,
wipe them with a wet cloth and then dry them carefully.
• It is especially important that the oven door closes correctly and that
there is no defect on:
- the door, the seals and hinges,
- the power supply cord.
Do not operate the oven if the door or door seal is damaged. Have it
repaired first by a qualified technician.
If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer,
his product support department or persons with similar qualification so
as to avoid danger.
12. For your own safety, this appliance is in conformity with applicable
standards and regulations (Low Voltage Directive, electromagnetic
compatibility, materials in contact with food, the environment, etc.).
Never use your oven if it is damaged.
Your oven should in no case be adjusted or repaired by persons other
than a qualified technician from the microwave department and
trained by the manufacturer.
The following recommendations will help you use your oven in the best
possible way. Please read them attentively.
