Before calling the service centre
Normal situation:
1
The operation of the microwave oven may cause interference with radio and TV
reception. This interference is similar to interference caused by small electrical appliances
such as a food processor, fan, vacuum cleaner, etc.
2
When cooking at low microwave power the inside light of the microwave oven may
become dull.
3
During cooking, water vapour gets out of the food. Most of the water vapour escapes
through the ventilation openings. However, condensed water vapour may also appear on
the cool parts of the oven (e.g. on the door).
4
If the glass tray makes noise during operation, check to make sure that the oven
bottom and turntable ring assembly are both clean. Clean following the instructions given in
the “CLEANING, MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION” section.
If the microwave oven does not work:
1
Check to make sure that the oven is properly plugged in. If not, unplug the appliance,
wait 10 seconds and plug it in again.
2
Check to make sure that the fuse is not blown or the circuit breaker tripped. If the
above protective devices function properly check the mains socket by plugging in another
electrical appliance.
3
Check to make sure that the control panel is properly programmed and the timer set.
4
Check to make sure that the door is properly locked by the safety interlock system.
If not, the microwave energy will not be supplied to the oven.
If after completing the above steps the oven still does not operate, contact
the service centre. You should never attempt to adjust or repair the
microwave oven on your own.

Microwave cooking – tips
1
Carefully arrange the food. Place the thickest pieces next to the edges of the dish.
2
Check the cooking time. Cook for the shortest time indicated and if necessary extend
the cooking time. Heavily burned products may generate smoke or catch fire.
3
Cover the food while cooking. The cover shall prevent the food from “splashing out” and
ensure even cooking.
4
During cooking turn products over in order to speed up the cooking process of such
foods as chicken or hamburgers. Turn over large products such as roast meat at least
once.
5
Halfway through the cooking time change the arrangement of food products such as
meatballs. The products placed on the top should be moved to the bottom and those in the
middle should be moved towards the edges of the dish.
Additional functions
CHILD LOCK – preventing children from accidentally activating the
microwave oven
Setting the child lock:
In the standby mode press and hold the
Stop/Clear
button for
3 seconds. You will hear a long beep indicating that the child lock has been set and the
symbol
will appear on the display.
If the time has not been set when the microwave oven was connected to the electricity
supply, then after setting the child lock, apart from the
symbol the display will also
show
.
Releasing the child lock:
Press and hold the
Stop/Clear
button for 3 seconds. You will hear
a long beep indicating that the child lock has been released.
Kitchen utensils – tips
Use utensils suitable for use in microwave ovens. A container made of transparent material
is ideal for use in microwave ovens as the microwaves can easily penetrate through it in
order to heat the food.
1
Do not use metal utensils or dishes with metal trims – microwaves do not penetrate
through metal.
2
Before cooking in the microwave oven remove wrappings made of recycled paper, as
they may contain metal particles which may cause sparking and/or fire.
3
We recommend using oval/ round dishes rather than square/ rectangular ones, as food
in the corners of the dish gets burned more often.
4
When grilling protect the exposed areas from getting burned by covering them with
narrow strips of aluminium foil, maintaining the distance of minimum 3 cm between the foil
and the oven internal walls.
The list below will facilitate the choice of the right dishes and utensils.

3
When the set time is over, carefully feel the dish/ container. If it is warm, do not use it
for microwave cooking.
Do not exceed 1-minute cooking time.
Turntable installation
1
Never place the glass tray upside down. The glass
tray movement should not be restricted.
2
During cooking, both the glass tray and turntable
ring assembly must always be present in the microwave
oven.
3
During cooking, all food and food containers should
always be placed on the glass tray.
