45
Opening the door
If the microwave oven is being used,
opening the door will interrupt the
cooking programme.

Risk of injury from the open
door.
The oven door can support a
maximum weight of 8 kg. Children
could injure themselves on an open
door.
Do not let children sit on the door,
lean against it or swing on it.
Placing a dish in the oven
Ideally the dish should be placed in the
middle of the oven compartment.
Turntable
The turntable helps the food to cook,
reheat or defrost evenly.
Do not operate the microwave
without the turntable in place.
The turntable starts turning
automatically when the appliance is
operated.
Do not cook, reheat or defrost food
directly on the turntable. Check that the
dish is not larger in size than the
turntable.
Turn or stir food during cooking, or turn
the dish so that it heats up evenly.
Closing the door
If the door has been opened during a
cooking process, touch Start to resume
cooking.

control.

power level.

confirm your selection with
OK .
 Touch the  sensor.
The cooking programme starts.
You can choose between 7 power
levels.
The higher the power level, the more
microwaves reach the food.
When heating up food which cannot be
stirred or turned during cooking, as with
a plated meal, it is best to use a lower
microwave power level.
This ensures the heat is distributed
evenly. Heat for long enough to cook
the food properly.
The time required depends on:
– the initial temperature of the food.
Food taken straight from the
refrigerator takes longer to cook than
food which has been kept at room
temperature.
– the type and texture of the food.
Fresh vegetables contain more water
and cook more quickly than stored
vegetables.
