Maintenance

Cleaning

Clean the microwave oven regularly to prevent impurities from building up on or inside the microwave 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 microwave oven. Rinse and dry well.

To remove stubborn impurities with bad smells from inside the microwave oven

1. With an empty microwave oven, put a cup of diluted lemon juice on the centre of the turntable.

2. Heat the microwave oven for 10 minutes at max power.

3. When the cycle is complete, wait until the microwave oven cools down. Then, open the door and clean the cooking chamber.

CAUTION

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

Microwave 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 (2.5 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)

NOTE

As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking continues even when you have taken the food out of the microwave 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 microwave oven is operating correctly

The following simple procedure enables you to check that your microwave oven is working correctly at all times.

If you have any problems, see the “Troubleshooting” section on pages 40 to 44.

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

1. Pull the handle to open the microwave oven door.

2. Place a glass of water on the turntable, and then close the door.

3. Press Microwave.

4. The control panel display shows the corresponding power level (100 - 1000 W). Press the OK button for desired power level.

5. Press START/+30s repeatedly to set the time to 4 or 5 minutes.

6. The microwave oven heats the water for the set time. Check and make sure the water is boiling.

Cooking/Reheating

The following procedure explains how to cook or reheat food.

CAUTION Always check your cooking settings before leaving the microwave oven unattended.

1. Pull the handle to open the microwave oven door.

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

• The cooking time decreases If you select a higher power level.

• The cooking time increases If you select a lower power level.

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 Microwave-Grill-Combination by following the times and instructions in the chart.

2. Brush the plate with oil if you are cooking food, such as bacon and eggs, in order to brown the food nicely.

3. Place the food on the crusty plate.

4. Place the crusty plate on the metal rack (or turntable) in the microwave.

5. Select the appropriate cooking time and power.

(Refer to the table on the side)

CAUTION

• Always use oven gloves to take out the crusty plate, as will become very hot.

• Do not place any objects on the crusty plate that are not heat-resistant.

• Never place the crusty plate in the oven without turntable.

• Please note that the crust plate is not dish washer-safe.

NOTE

• Please note that the crusty plate has a teflon layer which is not scratchresistant. Do not use any sharp objects like a knife to cut on the crusty plate.

• Clean the crusty plate with warm water and detergent and rinse off with clean water.

• Do not use a scrubbing brush or a hard sponge otherwise the top layer will be damaged.
