User Manual Microwave

ACCESSORIES

GENERAL

There are a number of accessories available on the market. Before you buy, ensure they are suitable for microwave use.

Ensure that the utensils you use are oven proof and allow microwaves to pass through them before cooking.

When you put food and accessories in the microwave oven, ensure that they do not come in contact with the interior of the oven.

This is especially important with accessories made of metal or metal parts.

If accessories containing metal comes in contact with the oven interior, while the oven is in operation, sparking can occur and the oven could be damaged.

Always ensure that the turntable is able to turn freely before starting the oven. If the turntable isn't able to turn freely you should use a smaller vessel or the TurnTable stop function (see Large vessels).

TURNTABLE SUPPORT

Use the turntable support under the Glass turntable. Never put any other utensils on the turntable support.

  • Fit the turntable support in the oven.

GLASS TURNTABLE

Use the Glass turntable with all cooking methods. It collects the dripping juices and food particles that otherwise would stain and soil the interior of the oven.

  • Place the Glass turntable on the turntable support.

LARGE VESSELS

Use the Turntable stop button when cooking with vessels that is so large that they can not turn freely in the oven. fK> This function can only be used when CS: cooking with microwaves only and Combi functions. The button will not work with other functions.

STEAM ACCESSORY

Use the accessory with the strainer in place for such foods as fish, vegetables and potatoes. Always place the accessory on the Glass Turntable.

WIRE RACK

Use the high wire rack when cooking with grill.

Use the low wire rack when cooking with forced air or combi fan.

CRISP-PLATE

Place the food directly on the Crisp-plate.

Always use the Glass turntable as support when using the Crisp-plate.

Do not place any utensils on the Crisp-plate since it will quickly become very hot and is likely to cause damage to the utensil.

The Crisp-plate may be preheated before use (max. 3 min.).

CRISP HANDLE

Use the supplied special Crisp handle to remove the hot Crisp plate from the oven.

Note: Various crisp plate designs are used in manufacturing and the actual crisp plate design provided with this product may vary depending on availability.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING

Cleaning is the only maintenance normally required. It must be carried out with the microwave oven disconnected.

Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

DO NOT USE METAL SCOURING PADS, ABRASIVE CLEANSERS, steelwool pads, gritty washcloths, etc. which can damage the control panel, and the interior and exterior oven surfaces. Use a cloth with a mild detergent or a paper towel with spray glass cleaner. Apply spray glass cleaner to a paper towel. DO NOT SPRAY directly on the oven

At regular intervals, especially if spill overs have occurred, remove the turntable, the turntable support and wipe the base of the oven clean.

This oven is designed to operate with the turntable in place.

Do not operate the microwave oven when the turntable has been removed for cleaning.

Use a soft and damp cloth with mild detergent to clean the interior surfaces, front and rear of the door and the door opening.

Do not allow grease or food particles to build up around the door.

For stubborn stains, boil a cup of water in the oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the marks.

Adding some lemon juice to a cup of water, placing this on the turntable and boiling for a few minutes can eliminate odors inside the oven.

Do not use steam cleaning appliances when cleaning your microwave oven.

The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.

The Grill element does not need cleaning since the intense heat will burn off any splashes, but the ceiling beneath it may need regular cleaning. This should be done with a soft and damp cloth with mild detergent.

If the Grill is not used regularly, it should be run for 10 minutes a month to burn off any splashes, in order to reduce the risk of fire.

DISHWASHER SAFE:

Turntable support.

Glass turntable

Crisp handle

Wire rack

STEAM ACCESSORY

CAREFUL CLEANING:

The Crisp-plate should be cleaned in mild, detergent water. Heavily soiled areas can be cleaned with a scouring cloth and a mild cleanser.

Always let the crisp-plate cool off before cleaning.

  • Do not immerse or rinse with water while the crisp-plate is hot. Quick cooling may damage it.
  • Do not use steel-wool pads. This will scratch the surface.

HINTS FOR FROZEN FOODS:

If the food is warmer than deep-freeze temperature (-18°C), choose shorter time.

If the food is colder than deep-freeze temperature (-18°C), choose longer time.

MORE HINTS:

Check and inspect the food regularly.

Frozen food |n plast|c bags, plastic films or card- board packages can be placed directly in the oven as long as the package has no metal parts (e.g. metal twist ties).

The shape of the package alters the defrosting time. Shallow packets defrost more quickly than a deep block.

Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Individual slices defrost more easily.

Shield areas of food with small pieces of aluminum foil if they start to become warm (e.g. chicken legs and wing tips)

Boiled food, stews and meat sauces defrost better if stirred during defrosting time.

Turn large joints halfway through the defrosting process.

m When defrosting it is better to under-

thaw the food slightly and allow the

process to finish during standing time.

Standing time after defrosting always improves the result since the temperature will then be evenly distributed throughout the food.
