Things to watch for
■ The appliance should only be connected by
a qualified fitter (see electrical
connection).
■ Disconnect the appliance before starting
with cleaning or reparation. Preferable by
taking the plug out of the socket or by
turning off the mains switch.
■ Do not use the microwave to dry paper,
cloth or any other inflammable material. Do
not deep fry and do not allow foods to
overcook.
■ If something catches fire in the oven, keep
the oven door closed, switch the
microwave off and remove the plug from
the socket.
■ Never start the microwave when there is
nothing in the oven. This can damage the
oven.
■ Do not heat whole eggs (with or without
shell) in the microwave.
■ On account of the increased pressure
during heating, liquids in airtight packaging
can only be heated if a couple of openings
have first been made in the package.
Before you begin
Prepare for use
■ During the production process protective
materials are used to protect the various
components from damp and dirt. Before the
oven is used these must be burnt off. Heat
the oven with the hot air circulation and
switch the grill on to maximum setting for
30 minutes.
Please note:
When the oven is heated to a high
temperature for the first time, you will smell a
“new appliance” odour. This is to be
expected.
■ It is advisable to consult your microwave
cookbook for cooking times and settings. If
foods are heated for too long or on too high
a setting, there is the possibility that (parts
of) the dish will dry out.
■ If you wish to add alcohol to a dish, do so
after heating.
■ Remove any metal sealing strips from
plastic bags and use bowls and dishes
which are microwave proof.
■ If you wish to boil liquid (such as water) put
a plastic spoon in the cup. It can happen
that the liquid boils without you seeing any
movement. Once the cup is removed from
the oven the liquid can start to boil rapidly
and spatter out of the cup, with the risk
that you burn your hand.
