Operating the oven with the door open could result in harmful exposure to microwave energy.

Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the (1) door(bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.

soups, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, delayed eruptive boiling can occur without evidence of bubbling.

To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken.

- Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time.

Stir or shake the contents (especially feeding bottles and baby foods) and carefully check the temperature before use.

- If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a competent person.

- It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair that involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

- Liquids or other foods must not be heated in a sealed container since they are liable to explode.

- Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.

The following charts summarise the proper use of cooking utensils in your oven.

Materials you can use in microwave oven Utensils Remarks Aluminium foil Shielding only.

Small smooth pieces can be used to cover thin parts of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking.

The bottom of browning dish must be at least 5cm away above the turntable.

Paper plates and cups Use for short-term cooking/warming only.

Parchment paper Use as a cover to prevent splattering or a wrap for steaming.

“Boiling bags” and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed by package.

Thermometers Microwave-safe only (meat and candy thermometers).

Wax paper Use as a cover to prevent splattering and retain moisture.

5 GB Downloaded from www.vandenborre.be Materials to be avoided in microwave oven Utensils Remarks Aluminium tray May cause arcing.

Metal or metal- trimmed utensils Metal shields the food from microwave energy.

Metal twist ties May cause arcing and could cause a fire in the oven.

Plastic foam Plastic foam may melt or contaminate the liquid inside when exposed to high temperature.

Wood Wood will dry out when used in the microwave oven and may split or crack.

Notes: Care should be taken when removing utensils or the glass turntable, as they may become hot during cooking.

OOTTHHEERR HHEELLPPFFUULL IINNSSTTRRUUCCTTIIOONNSS For best results and more enjoyable cooking, please read these comments thoroughly.

When determining the time for a particular food, begin by using minimum time and checking condition occasionally.

It is easy to overcook food because microwaves cook very quickly.

Small quantities of food or foods with low water content may dry out and become hard if cooked too long.

Foods that have been frozen can be place directly in the oven for thawing.

Defrost according to the Defrosting instructions found in this manual.

For areas of the food thawing faster than others, cover with small pieces of aluminium foil.

For example, fish cooks so quickly that it is sometimes better to begin cooking while still slightly frozen.

It may be necessary to increase or decrease the cooking time in some recipes, depending on the starting temperature of the food.

6 GB Downloaded from www.vandenborre.be NOTE: Air from the vent may become warm during cooking.

Browning: There are a few foods which are not cooked long enough in the microwave oven to brown and may need additional colour.

Coatings such as paprika and browning agents such as Worcestershire sauce may be used on chops, meat patties or chicken pieces.

Roasts, poultry or ham, cooked for 10-15 minutes or longer, will brown without extra additives.

Door Safety Lock The oven will shut off if the door is opened during operation.

Both glass tray and turntable ring assembly must always be used during cooking.

Why is steam coming out of the air exhaust vent and/or why is water dripping from the bottom of the door? A.

This microwave oven has been made to vent this steam out of the side and top vents, occasionally this steam condenses on the door and water then drips out at the bottom of the door.

Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door? A.

The screen reflects the energy to the oven cavity, the holes, or ports are made to allow light to pass, they do not let microwave energy through.

Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates while empty? A.

When baking or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam build-up inside the yolk membrane.

To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk with a toothpick before cooking.

Why is standing time recommended after the cooking operation has been completed? A.

With microwave cooking, the heat is in the food, not in the oven.

Many foods 11 ~ GB Downloaded from www.vandenborre.be build up enough internal heat to allow the cooking process to continue, even after the food is removed from the oven.

Standing time for joints of meat, large vegetables and cakes is to allow the inside to cook completely, without overcooking the outside.

Why does my oven not always cook fast as the microwave cooking guide says? A.

Check your cooking guide again, to make sure you’ve followed directions exactly and to see what might cause variations in cooking times.

Cooking guide times and heat settings are suggestions, to help prevent overcooking the most common problem in getting used to a microwave oven.

Variations in the size, shape and weights could require longer cooking time.

Use your own judgement along with the cooking guide suggestions to check whether the food has been properly cooked just as you would do with a conventional cooker.

There may be several reasons why sparks and crackling (arcing) within the cavity happens.

* You are using dishes with metal parts or trim (silver or gold).
