Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. This microwave is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the microwave be provided. Using a high voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or other accident causing microwave damage.

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

NOTE:

• If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service person.
• Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the microwave or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.

The wires in this mains cable are colored in accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow = EARTH
Blue = NEUTRAL
Brown = LIVE

Microwave cooking principles

• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
• Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
• Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.

Before you call for service

If the microwave fails to operate:

• Check to ensure that the microwave is plugged in securely. If it is not, remove the plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds and plug it in again securely.
• Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If these seem to be operating properly, test the outlet with another appliance.
• Check to ensure that the control panel is programmed correctly and the timer is set.
• Check to ensure that the door is securely closed engaging the door safety lock system. Otherwise, the microwave energy will not flow into the microwave.
  If none of the above rectifies the situation, then contact a qualified technician. Do not try to adjust or repair the microwave yourself.

Utensils guide

• Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
• Microwave can not penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not be used.
• Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
• Round/oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in corners tends to overcook.
• Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. But be careful don't use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between foil and cavity.

Cooking

• If possible, cook food covered with material suitable for use in the microwave. Only cook food without a cover if you want to keep it crusty.
• Do not overcook the dishes by setting the power and time too high. The food can dry out, burn or catch fire in some places.
• Do not use the appliance to cook eggs or snails in their shells, because they can explode. With fried eggs, pierce the yolks first.
• Prick food with "skin" or "peel", such as potatoes, tomatoes, sausages, with a fork several times before cooking so that the food does not explode.
• For chilled or frozen food, set a longer cooking time.
• Dishes which contain sauce must be stirred from time to time.
• Vegetables that have a firm structure, such as carrots, peas or cauliflower, must be cooked in water.
• Turn larger pieces after half of the cooking time.
• If possible, cut vegetables into similar sized pieces.
• Use flat, wide dishes.
• Do not use cookware made of porcelain, ceramic or earthenware with small holes, e.g. on handles or unglazed bottoms. Moisture going into the holes can cause the cookware to crack when it is heated.
• The glass cooking tray is a work space for heating food or liquids. It is necessary for the operation of the microwave.

Defrosting meat, poultry, fish

• Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a small upturned plate with a container below it so that the defrosting liquid collects in the container.
• Turn the food after half of the defrosting time. If possible, divide and then remove the pieces that started to defrost.

Defrosting butter or similar

• Do not fully defrost the food in the appliance, but let it defrost at room temperature. This gives a more even result. Fully remove all metal or aluminium packaging before defrosting.
