Operation

Opening the door
If the microwave oven is in use, opening
the door will interrupt the cooking
process.

Risk of injury from the open
door.
The 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 the dish in the oven
Ideally the dish should be placed in the
middle of the oven.
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
Close the door and touch “Start” again
to resume an interrupted cooking
programme.
Starting a programme
Select a microwave power level by
pressing the corresponding sensor
control.

Touch the sensor control for the
power level you want.
The sensor control on the control panel
lights up orange.
 Use the arrow buttons to set the
cooking duration you want and
confirm your selection with
OK .
 Press the  button.
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 duration required depends on:
– the initial temperature of the food.
Food taken straight from the
refrigerator takes longer to heat or
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.
