●
Do not allow the appliance or its power cord to touch hot surfaces or come into contact
with any heat sources. Do not let the power cord hang free, and keep it away from any
hot parts.
●
It is important that the appliance is thoroughly cleaned at regular intervals and that any
food residues are removed.
Excessive wear may otherwise be caused to the exposed surfaces and the life expectancy
of the appliance considerably reduced. In addition, its safety and proper operation may
also be affected.
●
This appliance is a group 2 class B ISM device. Group 2 contains all ISM devices
(industrial, scientific, medical) generating radio frequency energy and/or using radio
frequency energy in the form of electro-magnetic radiation to process materials; it also
comprises spark erosion devices. Class B specifies devices designed for domestic use, or
any similar devices integrated in the general power grid supplying domestic units.
●
This microwave oven is intended for domestic use only and not for commercial
applications.
●
Caution: any maintenance or repair work requiring the removal of any microwave
radiation protection cover represents a serious hazard to unqualified persons. This
includes the replacement of the special power cord or an interior light bulb. The unit
must not be opened, except by qualified personnel. If repairs are needed, please send the
appliance to one of our customer service departments. The address can be found in the
appendix to this manual.
The microwave function
Electromagnetic energy is generated inside the unit, causing the molecules in the food
(mainly water molecules) to oscillate and subsequently causing the food to become hot.
Food with high water content will therefore heat up faster than relatively dry food. The heat
is generated gradually inside the food. Any utensils, container or plates used are heated up
only indirectly as a result of the food temperature.
Always use suitable kitchen utensils
●
Do not place the food directly onto the glass turntable; always use a suitable plate or
cooking container. Make sure that the container does not protrude over the rim of the
glass turntable.
●
Metal objects are to be avoided since microwaves are reflected from metal surfaces and
might not reach the food to be cooked. Any metal in the oven might also cause sparks,
resulting in possible damage.
●
As a general rule, cutlery or metal containers must not be used in the microwave oven.
Some food wrappings contain aluminium foil or wires underneath a layer of paper and
are therefore also unsuitable for use with microwave appliances.
However, should the use of aluminium foil be recommended in a recipe, ensure that the
food is tightly wrapped in the foil (avoiding any air blisters). Ensure a minimum distance
of 2.5 cm between the foil and the interior walls of the oven.
●
Always make sure that the cooking container or plate used does not have any metal
decoration, such as a gold rim, or colour containing metal particles. Lead crystal objects
are also not suitable. Always make sure that the cooking containers used are not hollow
in any part (e.g. in the handles). Porous materials may have absorbed water during
