INSTALLATION PRIOR TO CONNECTING Position the oven at a distance from other heating sources. For sufficient ventilation there must be a space of at least 30 cm above the oven. The microwave oven shall not be placed in a cabinet. This oven is not intended to be placed or used on a working surface lower than 850 mm above the floor. Check that the voltage on the rating plate corresponds to the voltage in your home. Do not remove the microwave inlet protection plates located on the side of the oven cavity wall.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE If material inside / outside the oven should ignite or smoke is emitted, keep oven door closed and turn the oven off. Disconnect the power cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel. Do not leave the oven unattended, especially when using paper, plastic or other combustible materials in the cooking process. Paper can char or burn and some plastics can melt if used when heating foods.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The appliances are not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system. Do not leave the oven unattended if you are using a lot of fat or oil since they can overheat and cause a fire! Do not heat, or use flammable materials in or near the oven. Fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. Do not use your microwave oven for drying textiles, paper, spices, herbs, wood, flowers or other combustible materials. Fire could result.
PRECAUTIONS GENERAL This appliance is designed for domestic use only! The appliance should not be operated without food in the oven when using microwaves. Operation in this manner is likely to damage the appliance. The ventilation openings on the oven must not be covered. Blocking the air intake or exhaust vents may cause damage to the oven and poor cooking results. If you practice operating the oven, put a glass of water inside. The water will absorb the microwave energy and the oven will not be damaged.
ACCESSORIES GENERAL There are a number of accessories available on the market. Before you buy, ensure they are suitable for microwave use. Ensure that the utensils you use are oven proof and allow microwaves to pass through them before cooking. When you put food and accessories in the microwave oven, ensure that they do not come in contact with the interior of the oven. This is especially important with accessories made of metal or metal parts.
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation. Do not use metal scouring pads, abrasive cleansers, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths, etc. which can damage the control panel, and the interior and exterior oven surfaces. Use a cloth with a mild detergent or a paper towel with spray glass cleaner. Apply spray glass cleaner to a paper towel.
CONTROL PANEL MWD319 MWD320 q SELECT POWER LEVEL AND FUNCTION by turning the multifunction knob. w TURN THE ADJUST KNOB clockwise to set the desired cooking time. The oven starts automatically.
PAUSE OR STOP COOKING TO PAUSE COOKING The cooking can be paused to check, turn or stir the food by opening the door. IF YOU DON’T WANT TO CONTINUE COOKING Remove the food, turn the adjust knob to zero and close the door. TO CONTINUE COOKING Close the door. The cooking is resumed from where it was paused. CHOOSING MICROWAVE POWER POWER SUGGESTED USE: MAX (700 W) REHEATING OF BEVERAGES, water, clear soups, coffee, tea or other food with a high water content.
COOKING CHART THE MORE FOOD YOU WANT TO COOK the longer it takes. A rule of thumb is that double amount of food requires almost double the time. THE LOWER STARTING TEMPERATURE, the longer cooking time is required. Food at room temperature cooks faster than food taken directly from the refrigerator. IF YOU ARE COOKING SEVERAL ITEMS of the same food, such as jacket potatoes, place them in a ring pattern for uniform cooking. SOME FOODS ARE COVERED BY A SKIN OR MEMBRANE e.g. potatoes, apples and egg yolks.
REHEATING CHART AS IN TRADITIONAL COOKING METHODS, food reheated in a microwave oven must always be heated until piping hot. THE BEST RESULTS ARE ACHIEVED if the food is arranged with the thicker food to the outside of the plate and the thinner food in the centre. PLACE THIN SLICES OF MEAT on top of each other or interlace them. Thicker slices such as meat loaf and sausages have to be placed close to each other.
DEFROSTING CHART FROZEN FOOD IN PLASTIC BAGS, plastic films or cardboard packages can be placed directly in the oven as long as the package has no metal parts (e.g. metal twist ties). THE SHAPE OF THE PACKAGE alters the defrosting time. Shallow packets defrost more quickly than a deep block. SEPARATE PIECES as they begin to defrost. Individual slices defrost more easily. SHIELD AREAS OF FOOD with small pieces of aluminiumfoil if they start to become warm (e.g. chicken legs and wing tips).
GRILLING CHART* ENSURE that the utensils you use are heat resistant, ovenproof and allow microwaves to pass through them before Grilling with microwaves combined. DO NOT use plastic utensils when grilling. They will melt. Items of wood or paper are not suitable either. THE GRILL FUNCTION IS EXCELLENT for browning the food after cooking with microwaves. THE WIRE RACK may be used to move foods closer to the grill element for quicker browning.
ENVIRONMENTAL HINTS THE PACKING BOX may be fully recycled as confirmed by the recycling symbol. Follow local disposal regulations. Keep potentially hazardous packaging (plastic bags, polystyrene etc.) out of the reach of children. THIS APPLIANCE is marked according to the European directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
