7

EN

Microwave Oven | Horno Microondas | Micro-ondas

- Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing

them in the oven.

- Do not heat deep-frying oil or fat as the temperature of the oil

cannot be controlled.

- After use, wipe the waveguide cover with a damp cloth, followed

by a dry cloth to remove any splashes of food and grease. Built-up

grease may overheat and smoke or catch re.

- If materials inside the oven smoke or ignite, keep the oven door

closed, turn o the oven and disconnect the power supply.

- When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on

the oven as there is a possibility of the containers igniting.

• To reduce the risk of explosion and sudden boiling:

- Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers

as they are liable to explode. Baby bottles tted with a screw cap or

teat are considered to be sealed containers.

- Use wide-mouthed containers to heat liquids, and do not take

the heated liquid out immediately. Wait for a few minutes before

removing in order to avoid possible hazards caused by the delayed

eruptive boiling of the liquid.

- Potatoes, sausages and chestnuts should be peeled or pierced

before cooking. Eggs in their shells and whole hard -boiled eggs

should not be heated in microwave ovens as they may explode even

after microwave heating has ended.

- The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars must be stirred

or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption to

avoid burns.

• After cooking, containers are very hot. Use gloves to take out the

food and avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face

and hands.

• Slowly lift the furthest edge of dish covers and microwave plastic

wraps, and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away

from the face.

• To prevent the turntable from breaking:

- Let the turntable cool down before cleaning.

- Do not place hot foods or utensils on the cold turntable.

- Do not place frozen foods or utensils on the hot turntable.

• Make sure the utensils do not touch the interior walls during

cooking.

• Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

• Do not store food or anything else inside the oven.

• Do not operate the oven with no liquid or food inside it. This would

damage the oven.

• When the appliance is operated in the combination mode, children

should only use it under adult supervision due to the temperatures

Caution!: Never remove the waveguide cover.

2.2. Using the Product

Installation

• Remove all the packing. If there is a safety lm over the oven,

remove it before use. Check carefully for damage. If any is found,

immediately notify the dealer or send the appliance to the

manufacturer’s service center.

• Microwave ovens must be placed in a dry and non-corrosive

environment, and kept away from heat and humidity, such gas

burners or water tanks.

12

• To ensure suicient ventilation, the distance of the back of the

microwave from the wall should be at least 10 cm. The distance from

the side to the wall should be at least 5 cm. The clearance above the

top surface should be at least 20 cm. The distance of the microwave

from the oor should be at least 85 cm.

• The position of the oven must be such that it is far from TVs, radios

or antennas as it may cause interference. The distance should be

more than 5 m.

• The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible. It

must be correctly grounded in the event of leakage. A ground loop

can be formed to avoid electric shock.

• The microwave oven must be operated with the door closed.

• The microwave oven must not be placed in a cabinet. The

microwave oven is intended to be used freestanding.

• The back of the oven must be placed against a wall.

• As there may be manufacturing residue or oil still inside the oven

or on the heating element at rst, there will be an odor or even a

little smoke. This is normal and will stop after several uses. Keep

a door or window open to provide good ventilation. It is strongly

recommended to place a cup of water on the turntable, set to high

power and operate for several times.

If food is removed before the time is up, make sure to set the

timer back to the “0” position, to avoid the microwave oven from

operating when empty.

Utensils guidelines

It is strongly recommended to use containers that are suitable and

safe for microwave cooking. Generally speaking, containers made

from heat-resistant ceramic, glass or plastic are suitable for microwave

cooking.

Never use metal containers for microwave cooking and combination

cooking as sparks are likely to be produced. Use the table below as a

guide.

Cooking tips

The following factors may aect the cooking results.

Food layout

Place thicker areas towards the outside of the dish, thinner parts

towards the center and spread evenly. Do not overlap if possible.

Cooking time

Start cooking with a short time setting, assess the cooking when it

times out and extend it until the food is cooked. Overcooking may

result in smoke and burns.

Cooking food evenly

Foods such as chicken, hamburgers or steaks should be turned once

during cooking.

Depending on the type of food, if applicable, stir from outside to the

center of the dish once or twice during cooking.

Standing time

After cooking completes, leave the food in the oven for a suitable

length of time, this allows it to complete its cooking cycle and cool

down gradually.

Checking if the food is cooked

The color and hardness of the food help to determine if it is cooked,

these include:

• Steam coming out from all parts of the food, not just the edges;

• Poultry joints can be moved easily;

• Pork or poultry shows no signs of blood;

• Fish is opaque and can be sliced easily with a fork.

Browning dish

When using a browning dish or self-heating container, always place a

heat-resistant insulator such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent

damage to the turntable and rotating ring.
