[. . . ] If repairs are needed, please send the appliance to one of our customer service departments. 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. 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 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). 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. Always make sure that the cooking containers used are not hollow in any part (e. Porous materials may have absorbed water during Cleaning and are again not suitable. Cooking containers or utensils made of `Melamine' plastic material absorb energy and are also unsuitable. - Using the microwave function - Containers made from heat-resistant glass or porcelain, however, are well suited for use in microwave appliances. Cooking containers especially designed for use with microwave ovens are available at most kitchenware dealers. - Containers or plates can be tested for their suitability in a microwave appliance by placing the item (without any food) on the turntable, switching the unit on, adjusting the microwave power setting to `High', and letting the appliance operate for approximately 20 seconds. it is also important to check the temperature of the container: a suitable container will only be lukewarm. - Using the grill or hot-air function - When using the grill or hot-air function, any heat-resistant containers or plates suitable for conventional ovens may be used. - The food to be cooked can be put directly on the grill rack, which is then placed on the glass turntable. - Microwave/grill combination - When using the microwave/grill combination, the microwave and grill functions are activated alternately. The containers or plates must therefore be suitable for use in a microwave as well as being heat-resistant. [. . . ] Use the rotary control to set the weight of the food to be defrosted (between 100g and 1000g) or the desired defrosting time (between 00:05 and 95:00). Automatic cooking programmes These programmes are helpful when cooking or heating up food without having to select any particular settings, e. A-6 fish A-7 pizza A-8 bread A-9 roast chicken Timer The microwave can be pre-programmed in such a way that it starts operating at a predetermined time. However, always check first that the time on the unit has been correctly set prior to using the timer delay function. [. . . ]
