Maintenance

Cleaning

Clean the oven regularly to prevent impurities from building up on or inside the oven. Also pay special attention to the door, door sealing, and turntable and roller ring (applicable models only).

If the door won’t open or close smoothly, first check if the door seals have built up impurities. Use a soft cloth in soapy water to clean both the inner and outer sides of the oven. Rinse and dry well.

To remove stubborn impurities with bad smells from inside the oven

1. With an empty oven, put a cup of diluted lemon juice on the centre of the turntable.
2. Heat the oven for 10 minutes at max power.
3. When the cycle is complete, wait until the oven cools down. Then, open the door and clean the cooking chamber.

To clean inside swing-heater models

To clean the upper area of the cooking chamber, lower the top heating element by as shown. This will help clean the upper area. When done, reposition the top heating element.

CAUTION

• Keep the door and door sealing clean and ensure the door opens and closes smoothly. Otherwise, the oven’s lifecycle may be shortened.
• Take caution not to spill water into the oven vents.
• Do not use any abrasive or chemical substances for cleaning.
• After each use of the oven, use a mild detergent to clean the cooking chamber after waiting for the oven to cool down.

Oven use

How a microwave oven works

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing either the form or the colour.

You can use your microwave oven to:

• Defrost
• Reheat
• Cook

Cooking principle.

1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron reflected at cavity and are distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly.
2. The microwaves are absorbed by the food up to a depth of about 1 inch 92.5 cm). Cooking then continues as the heat is dissipated within the food.
3. Cooking times vary according to the container used and the properties of the food:
   • Quantity and density
   • Water content
   • Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)

IMPORTANT

As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking continues even when you have taken the food out of the oven. Standing times specified in recipes and in this booklet must therefore be respected to ensure:

• Even cooking of the food right to the centre.
• The same temperature throughout the food.

Checking that your oven is operating correctly

The following simple procedure enables you to check that your oven is working correctly at all times. If you are in doubt, refer to the section entitled “Troubleshooting” on the page 40-43.

NOTE

The oven must be plugged into an appropriate wall socket. The turntable must be in position in the oven. If a power level other than the maximum (100 % - 1000 W) is used, the water takes longer to boil.

Open the oven door by pulling the handle on the upper side of the door. Place a glass of water on the turntable. Close the door.

Press the Microwave mode and set the time to 4 or 5 minutes by pressing the START/+30s button.

Result: The oven heats the water for 4 or 5 minutes. The water should then be boiling.

Setting the time

When power is supplied, “88:88” and then “12:00” is automatically displayed on the display.

Please set the current time. The time can be displayed in either the 24-hour or 12- hour notation. You must set the clock:

• When you first install your microwave oven
• After a power failure

1. Press the OK button for 3 second.
2. Turn the Multi Function Selector Dial to set time display type. (12H or 24H)
3. Press the OK button to complete the setup.
4. Turn the Multi Function Selector Dial to set the hour.
5. Press the OK button.
6. Turn the Multi Function Selector Dial to set the minute.
7. When the right time is displayed, press the OK button to start the clock.

Result: The time is displayed whenever you are not using the microwave oven.

Power levels and time variations

The power level function enables you to adapt the amount of energy dissipated and thus the time required to cook or reheat your food, according to its type and quantity.

You can choose between ten power levels.

The cooking times given in recipes and in this booklet correspond to the specific power level indicated.

Adjusting the cooking time

You can increase the cooking time by pressing the START/+30s button once for each 30 seconds to be added.

• Check how cooking is progressing at any time simply by opening the door
• Increase the remaining cooking time

Method 1

To increase the cooking time of your food during cooking, press the START/+30s button once for each 30 seconds that you wish to add.

Example: To add three minutes, press the START/+30s button six times.

Method 2

Just turning Multi Function Selector Dial to adjust cooking time.

To increase cooking time, turn to right and to decrease cooking time, turn to left.

Auto cook guide

The following table presents quantities and appropriate instructions for auto cook

Using the crusty plate

This crusty plate allows you to brown food not only on the top with the grill, but also the bottom of the food turns crispy and brown due to the high temperature of the crusty plate. Several items which you can prepare on the crusty plate can be found in the chart (see next page). The crusty plate can also be used for bacon, eggs, sausages, etc.

1. Place the crusty plate directly on the turntable and preheat it with highest
2. Microwave-Grill-Combination [600 W + Grill] by following the times and instructions in the chart.
3. Brush the plate with oil if you are cooking food, such as bacon and eggs, in order to brown the food nicely.
4. Place the food on the crusty plate.
5. Place the crusty plate on the metal rack (or turntable) in the microwave.
6. Select the appropriate cooking time and power.
